The tax required for this purpose would not be any considerable burden on property holders, and it would do away with a great deal et individual hardship In case the quota of our county could thereby be filled, of which there is vary little doubt. It would, moreover, kelp the cause of many of our citizens who reside outside the elty in townships, where the selfish end nig gardly character of the bulk of the population prevents any arrangement of any sort being made with a view to avoid the draft. Let us emulate the example of Connecticut and Maine, who, by persistent efforts, as de tailed in year paper previously referred to, (Tuesday morning) have filled their quotas even et this early period.

If they sasm to the world to be slow in reach ing It, the world ought to be reassured of their careens by the reflection that no nation ever advanced fester In a task se complicated and so difficult. The great question hereto fore hart been, can the constitutional Union endure through the trial? There Is no longer any ground for despendeuoy on that point. When we rompers, the military and naval conditions of the country now with what they were when Congress came together a year scot whin we compare the condition of our forilgn relations now existing with that which prevailed when Congrest assembled • year ego, we pee evidences of strength, power and stability, which then it would have seemed presumptuous to expect." Mr. Seward to Minister Adams, December 8, 1882, says: "The President is of opinion that the dignity of the country and the lu te:este of peace concur In requiring forbear enee on the part of this government from dis cussing the motives, objeets and legitimate tendency of the late movement of France in regard-to our national affairs. I may, per haps, without departing from this cause, in form you that the popular judgment of this country Is unanimous to ascribing that pro ceeding to designs on the parte( the Emperor which are not only hostile bet aggressive. The President deem not accept this interpre tation, but thinks, on the contrary, that the proceeding was an 111-edvlsed ono, grounded upon erroneous assumptions in regard to the ,military and naval condition of the country, and • mistaken desire to counsel in • ease where ell foreign counsel ensiles distrust, and must ho rejected with firmness. I may add that the determination of Congress and of the people to bold the country inn condi tion of defence adequate to meet any foreign Intervention, his been intensified by the ap pearance of the proposition of 11. Drenyn de I'Lluys." After further disarming the ques tion, the Secretary says, In conclusion, 'the whole ease may be summed up In this: The United States eleim that In this war they are whole sovereign nation ' entitled to the same respect so such that they iseetird le Great Brit ain. Great Britain does not treat them as mah s sovereign, andttemee all the evils that disturb their intercourse and endanger their friendship. Great Britain justifies hoc course and perseveres. The United States do not admit the Justine:ellen, sad so they are obliged to complain and stand upon their guard. Those In either country who desire to see the two nations remain In lids relation are Dot wall-advised friendsof either of them," Mr. Seward to Mr.-dame, March 31, 1863, mays. "Your attendance at the nuptial cere monies of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, and the honors which yen paid to the ceremony at the legation , . are approved. The event it regarded by the British nation as contributing a now guarantee of the stability, presperity:and welfare piths United Kingdom. The people of the United States, well-wishers to all nations, and cordially friendly to Greet Britain,, give their best Wishes Gird that guar antee may prove a substantial and • reliable one." Lord Russell, in reply to a letter from Mr. Adams,says:—"The government of the United States mast either proceed on the principle of admitting all. British subjects to voluntary service in its ships and military bodies—end i then it has no reason to complain that the con federates do the same—or it moat appeal to the foreign smUstment act, and in that case it ought not to encourage In its own practice that which it denounces in thew° of the an federates. The UnitedlßAtes 'cannot ask the British goientment to not partially and un fairly.

The corresprindence contains many letter. in relation to theritting out of vessels to Brit ish ports to ran the blockade, and also pro tests against the building of confederate ships, etc., In British waters. On this subject, Mr. Seward writ,. to Air. Adams, Scptensber sth, 18t3 : "Six—Your dispatch of August 20th has bean submitted to the President. • • I hare bestowed the most thoughtful consider ation upon your suggestions concerning the importance of avoiding coltish,. with (treat Britain. Your observations concerning the importance of more effective me:inures for ar resting the depredations of the piratical ree eels seem so sagacious, that I have recom mended them for the earnest consideration of the Be,etary of the Nary. "At the same time, you will excuse me for stating the difficulties of enduring, without a Natat to extreme measure of resistance, the new trivesien which Is threatened from the parts of Great Britain. The navy understand that,although thecapaeities of the department have been taxed to the utmost for defensive preparations and maintaining the blockade, they neither have now, nor can Reasonably have, vessels that can bo spared from the siege of Charleston. adequate to resist the formidable rams which, virtually with the con sent of the British Parliament, are within a few weeks to come forth riving us from Laird's shipyard. The now vessels, which the Lairds are preparing. most, therefore, be expooted to enter Portlend, Boston, New York, or, if.they prefer, must attempt to break the blockade at Charleston, or to ascend the Mis visaippi to New Orleans. Can the British government suppose for a moment that such an assault as is thus meditated ran be made upon no by British built, armed and mannod vassals, without at one* arousing the whole nation, and making a retaliatory war inevi table. Whatever view may he taken of the for tunes of the insurrection in Europe, It it deemed clear in this country that the Medd. spirit which gave it birth is rapidly de clining, and the sentiment of nationality is developing itself snow with an energy never before known. The nation, after two years of experience of war, has overcome the sense of fear, while its temper Is highly excited_ It believes that, though found unprepared, there are no limits to its ultimate ability for self-de fence. It has a press and a Congree. es free and an bold as the nress and the Parli ament of Great Britain.

If they have been unable to prevent som• violations of neutrality on the part of the Queen's subjocts, the cause has been that Great Dritain is a country which Is goverened by definite laws, and hi not subject to arbitrary will. But law, as you are well aware, is enforced here, as In the United States, by independent courts of justlot, which still not admit assertion for proof, nor conjecture fur oertainty. "In the United States, a In England, ques tions of this nature bare been discussed by judges of great legal ability, whose learning and Impartiality hove given weight and au. therity to their decisions in every part of the civilized world. for Majesty ' s govern men t feel confident that ( b e Pr.ident of the United States will be disposed rather to report to those great expositors of International law, and to be glided by a careful neared:talon of the course of her Majesty's government, than yield to the batty conclusions end prejudicial Imputations of publicclamer." After further remark open this subject, Lord Russell con cludes by saying, "I hero t, edd that in ntructione hove been issued for preventing the departure of the iron-clads in question from Liverpool, until satisfactory or tame° can ho given as to their destination, or at all events, until the inquiries which are now being pros ecuted with a vice to obtain slob, evidence shall have been brought to a conclusion." In the sense of a long reply fear. Mr. Adams, he says ‘• The history of the Fast two years has proved, beyond the possibility of denial, that the Insurgents hare steadily' and persistently been engaged to transgressing the limit above laid down. They have built ships in the ports of this kingdom, with the intent to make war on the United. Rater ; they hare equipped and armed those ships With the aid of British subjects; they have 'manned those ships by the enlistment of British subjects, and without ever entering any insurgent harbors; they hare sailed on the high eons, committing depredations on the property of the people of the United States, under Protection of the British flag. In advance of this series of proceedings, I late been steadily engaged in making repro aantations of the danger of the same to your lordship, the correctness of which has been elmolt uniformly verified by the result." Mr. Seward writes to Mr. Adams, Sept. 28, 1802: "Six: .I hare the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your dispatch of the Bth of Soy tembor, together with the correspondence which took place between Earl Ruesell and yourself on the occasion of the decision of her Majesty's government to prevent ttte depart ure of the iron-elad steamships which hare been prepared at Liverpool to Dinka war against the United States.

Minister Dayton, inn letter to Mr. Seward, dated March 30,1803, says : " I informed M. Drouyn de Mays in the came interview that yen had writ ten to me that I most ' give no credit to rumors of alienation between M. Moreler nod our government,' and I read to him likewise the kind remarks made by you in dispatch No. 309, in reference to the rela tions between France and the United Stamm. With all thin he expressed his gratification, and said that M. Mercier had likewise in formed him that the personal relations be tween you and himself were entirely had. This explanation was the mere necessary from the fact that the European journals have gen erally seised upon the alleged contradictions in your and his sorrespendence for the purpose of fomenting unpleasant feelings. If the journals of the I oiled states could only be made to understand how mesh mischief they do to no abroad by exaggerating and harping upon these things, I am sure they would ex ercise more caution." Mr. Dayton, (Paris, July 111, 1865,) in writing to Mr. Seward, says, referring to his Interview with M. lYrottyn de I'llnys, '.l then called his attention to the feet that the jour nals of our country were now largely com menting upon the position and purposes of the emperor is retinae. to the acknowledg ment of the Independence of the South, and that certain matters in connection with the conversation between the Emperor and Messrs. Roebuck and Lindsay, as reported by them, wen calculated to induce a belief that the Emperor wished to acknowledge the Beath, and was held book by England only. I [ar tier stated that it had been reported, from most reliable sources, that Baron Ores had said that the Emperor would make another proposition to England to act with him In acknowledging the South, and, if she would not de It, be would act alone. That these matten wen celculated to create unpleasant feelings in the United Stain toward. the Im perial government, and, If not true, I thought It desirable, for the interests of both countries, that they be corrected. I furthermore asked him, distinctly, what was the policy of the Eniperor in reference to the South. You will observe that in this way I reached the nib ject.mattur without saying I had had any formal . inetruotione from my government to interrogate France on these ouestions. The answer of M. Drouya do Illuys was in substance is follows lio said that the Em peror had at no time made any proposition to England to acknowledge the South. That when Messrs. Roebuck and Lindsay came over they pressed him basil to do so. They eaid England was ready to acknowledge the South, and would do so if it wore not believed that France would refute to follow. That If ha would but coy the word, their proposi tion for acknowledgment (then pending in tho House of ,:ommons) would pace at once. Ile answered that he had given England no cause to believe he would not act with bar ; •that the only proposition as to any action in our affairs had been made by him to England and had been rejected by her. They then ruled that he should make tho proposition for acknowledgement to England, which be declined to do. They then asked If they might commeniasto his views. lie answered to this merely that his views on the subjeet were no secret ; bat M. Drotlyn de Fatty/ says he never dreamed of their attempting to ace them, as they afterwards did, in the House of Commons. He furthermore told them that ho would not not alone upon any important matters, either ea the continent of America, and more especially would be not net alone in our affairs. "At to the remarks attributed to Baron Gros, be would scarcely permit ma to fieith the statement of what they were. lie began shaking his head as I went un, and at the close promptly said, Baron Ores never made such remarks. lie had never aid anything of the bind official or unoffleill, public or pri vate, as if knowing the views of the Baron on this question. He disclaimed the sentiment for him in the most positive and explicit man ner. "In answer to my question, as to the policy dam Emperor in reference to the south, ho said 'he had none; he wetted en events.' This, you may remember, I long since apprised you, wan, in my judgment, what ho was do ing, bull conies, I began to fear that, unless events mended, he might think that he had waited about long enough. After some other remarks and questions by N. Dronyn do ns to our recent successes, (the import• since of which, especially that et Vicksburg, be seemed fully tv apprcciato,) our conversa tion closed." It appears from the documents, that M. Drouyn de I'lluys, to M. Mercier. thu Minister to the ratted States, under date Sept. it,lsf2, substantially verified the above statements, saying: " lu regard to the recognition of the States of the South, the intention, of the Em peror's government wore known to him, and this question was still at the point where our lets conversations bad left It. We had not, therefore, recognized the South, and, much more, we had not signed with it any treaty respect to this, I weld repeat to him what I for the recession of Louisiana and Texas. With had so often said to him already, that we neither sought for ourselves nor for others any acquisition In America. I added that I trusted that the good sense of the people of the United States would do justice to exag gerations and false suppositions, by the aid of which it was endeavorelto mislead and sour oar public opinion; and that 1 relied on his co-operation on trying to render prevalent a more equitable appreciation of the necessities •hiub our policy obeyed." In r letter from Mr. Seward to Mr. Dayton, dated September 29, 1563, he explains the President's views in regard to the attitude of France respecting the civil war in the Uni ted States, saying, among other things : wish in avoid anything calculated to irritate France, or to wound the just pride and proper sonsibilitlee of that spirited nation, and thus to free our claim to her forbearance, to our protect political emergency, from say cloud of passion or prejudice. Pureeing this coon*, the President hopes that the prejudgment of the Emperor 'kernel the stability of the Union may the sooner give way in convictions which will modify his course and bring him beet again to the traditional friendship which he found existing between this country and his own when, In obedience to her roici, - he 113. .11122 ed the reins of empire. These desires and purposes do not imply either • fear of French n 036111., or any neglect of a prudent pesters of national self.rellanto. "The subject upon which I propose to re mark, in the second place, is the relation of Francr to ward Mexico. The United States hold in regard to Mexico, the same principles that they hold in regard to all other nations. They have neither a right nor a disposition to intervene by force in the internal affairs of Mexico, whether to establish and maintain a republic, or even a domestic government there, or to overthrow an imperial or e for eign one, if Mexico ebooies to establish or accept it. The United States bare neither the right nor the disposition to intervene by force on either side in the lamentable war which is going on between France and Mex ico. On the contrary, they practice in regard to Mexico, in every phase of that war, the non-intervention which they require all for eign Powers to observe in regard to the Uni ted States. But notwithstanding this Boli n...trait:a, this government knows full well that the inherent normal opinion of Mexico favors a government there republican in form and domestic In its ,organisation in preference to 'any monarchial inetitu- Ilona to be imposed [rent abroad. This government knows, also, that this normal opinion of the people of Mexico resulted large ly from the influence of popular opinion in this country and is continually invigorated by it. The President believes, moreover,: that this popular opinion of the United State* is just in itself, and eminently - essential to the progress of civilisation on the American con uncut, which civilisation, it believes, Zan and will, if left free from European resistance, work karmonionaly together with advancing tofu:Lamont on the other continents.

Thinking this, the President would be wanting in fidelity to Prance, as well as to oar own country, if ho did not converse with the Emperor with entire sincerity and friendship upon the attitude which Franco is to assume in regard to Mexico. The statements made to you by M.

Mr. Seward, under date of October 13, 1833, replies to a dispatch from Aliaister Dayton, as follows: "Sir—l have the honor to ec knowledge the reception of your dispatch of the 9th'instant, which brings me the views ex pressed by M. Dronyn de Illisys aancern{ng the sltnatien in Mexico. Various considers demi have induced the President to avoid taking any part in the speculative debates bearing on that situation, which have been carried on in the capitals of Europe nevelt as in those of America. A determine 'on to art on the side of strict neutrality, if we err at all, in a war which is carried on between two - madam, with which the Crated States are maintaining rotations density and friondstyip, was prominent among tlin considerations to which I have thus reforrodf "The United States, nevertheless, when Invited by France or 31min), cannot omit to express themselves with perfect frankness epee new incidents as they °or or, in the pro gress of that war. M. Drouyn de Pliny' new speaks of an election which he expoots to be held in Mexico, and to result in the choice of Ms Imperial Highness the Prince Maxi million of Austria, to ho Emperor of Mexico. We learn from other content that the Prince ham declared his willingness to accept an im perial throne in Mexico en three conditions, namely; first, that he shall he called to it by the universal suffrage of the Mexican nation; secondly, that he shall receive indispensable guarantees for the Integrity and independence of the proposed empire; and thirdly, that the head of the family, the Emperor of Atm trio; shall acquiesce. "Referring to these facts, 31. Drouyn de Priuys intimates that an early acknowledg ment of the proposed empire by the United States would be convenient to France, reliev ing her sooner than might be possible under other circumstances from her troebleeome complications with Mexico. "Happily the French government has not been loft uninformed that, in the opinion of the United States, the permanent establish ment of a foreign and monarchical govern ment in Mexico will be found neither easy nor desirable. You will inform M. Drouyn de Pfluys that this opinion remains unchanged. On the other hand, the United States cannot anticipate the action of the people of Mexico; nor have they the least purpose or desire to interfere with their proceedings, or control or interfere with their free choice, or disturb them in the enjoyment of whatever institu tions lof government they may, In the suer else of an absolute freedom, establish. It is proper also, that M. Dronyn de l'Huye should be informed that the United States continue to regard Mexico as the theatre of a war which has not yet ended in the vetiver tion of the government long existing there, with which the United States remain in the relation of peace and sincere friendship; a- d that far this reason the United States are not now at liberty to crusader the question of re cognizing a government which is the further chances of war, may come into its plate. The United States consistently with their princi ples, cannot do otherwise than leave the des tinies of Mexico in tbo keeping of her own people, and recognize their sovereignty and independence in whatever form they them selves shall choose that this sovereignty and independence shall bo manifested." [Mr. Arroyo, signing himself under Secre tary of State and of Foreign Affairs of the Mexican Empire, addreseml, July 20, 1863, a communication to Mr. Seward, i•to the end that he might be pleased to place within the knowledge of his government the recent Im portant event, which have finally resulted in the organization of an appropriate, strong and duratile government. with a view that the nation might be constituted." He then in forms him of what had bean dono to estab lish the empire, and the solemn decree es the result of their Inhere. Consequently the un dersigned, (Mr. J. M. Arroyo) relies on the moral re-operation of the governments which are friendly to Mexico, among which he has she eatisfaction of enumerating that of the Vatted State. of America, which has given se manyproofs of its interest in the happiness of 3lexice.] The correspondence with France occupies one hundred and thirty-one printed pages.
