Since the defeat of the 8t. Domingo treaty the re
lations between Mr. Sumner and the President have
grown more unfriendly evcr day. Certain of the
president a menus in tne senate cameu to mm ait
that Mr. Sumner said about hiro, while Mr. Sumner's
mends were not. slow to perform a similar oiuce ror
him. f leneral liabcock, who was greatly Incensed
atthe language of Mr. Sumuer, la reported to have
spoken of tbe Senator ia terms more forcible than
cleirant. Whether he slmplv uttered his own sen
tlments or reilected those of the President is not
known.
According to a newspaper statement which Mr
Stinii er had read In the Senate it would appear that
the president was as hostile to Mr. sum ner as Han
cock was. A gentleman with whom Oeneral Han
cock talked since the openingof the present session,
ret. resents mm as savins; tnat it uutuner was not a
Senator and he (Babcock) an officer of the arm?, he
would have pulled the senator s nose; and, further.
that he wool 1 do it as It was it Sumner was not a
"d d coward." It appears that this reached
tbe ears of the Senator, who reirar-is ticn. Babcock

PRUSSIA ANI) ITALY.
hharp Letter Addressed bv Bismarck to tbe
Italian ttllnieieraf Allaire.
According to the International Count Bismarck
baa forwarded tbe following to the Italian Minister
for Foreisn Aifalrs:
Monsieur le Comfe: His Majesty.our beloved mas
ter, wishes to make known to King Victor Ema
nuel's Government bis Intentions re'atiuir to tne
change which has taken pi -ice in the friendly and
Intimate intercourse which nas existed so long be
tween the the Courts. It is not without surprise
that bis Majesty sees vour entire nisregarn or ttiosa
laws which, among all clvblzed nation, haves always
prevented subjects from procuring weapous
and arming themselves against another na
tion beinir 'actually at neace with them.
Such an unherd-of line of conduct wounl
lead ns to think that the Government of Florence
Intends departing from the neutrality which they
bad promised ns to keep before we engaged In the
present war; anu, in race, ir ic oe coumaerea mac
after making the most flattering promises to ns, you
have tlvcn refuge and granted subsidies to a prince
of the belligerent house, and that you continue to
afford him your diplomatic support iu all his efforts
with the various European Cabinets to render our
position more dimruit, tnis is certainty not a con
duct which can inspire ns with coriidi-nce In the
future attitude of the Cabinet of Florence. Prusn a
baa keDt lovallv the promise made in lSdU.
and it la through her help alone tbat King Victor
Kmanuel was able to extend the frontiers of his
realm. Very active agents are workintr In the
lbertc Peninsula to gather supporters for the candi
dature of Prince Aniedeus, of Savoy. His Majesty
cannot be indifferent to the consent given by the
Florence Cabinet to this candidature, for If In otber
times a Prussian influence in spam could cause any
fears for the European balance of power, the same
peril might exist also with the Italian Influence,
enoeclallT as that influence is already established
both In Portugal and in France, where the King of
Italy bas family connections. Please call. Monsieur
le Comte. tne attention of V lctor Kmanuel s Govern
ment to tbe present document and leave a copy of
It with tne Aiisister oi foreign Aiiairs.
