SEWARD TO MR. ADAMS. Wasnixoron, May 23, 1862. i despatch of the 8th of May bas been re- ceived. ‘Thore is a statement in the public journals that thirty vessels, which barl leit British ports with a common design t run our blockade, have gathered at Nassau, and that they are now remaining there awaiting the reiaxation of the blockade at some of the Southern porte, which the P’re- sident bas permitted to take place on the Ist of June, pre- ferring to avail themselves of that lawful privitege rather than persevere in their prohibited operations. I think, therefore, that we may congratulate ourselves upon hay: ing advanced to a new stage in our intercourse with mari- time Powers affesting the present troubles in the United States—a stage at which motives of sympathy in foreign countries with the insurgents, derive from egress Of the blockade, will disappear. ‘This stage is also markod by Rona improvement of the case—nameiy, the withdrawal from the ocean of the who have ovcastonally sought shelter and pro- ‘ection in frievdly porta while committing depredations on American commerce. Under the Preatient’s instructions I desire to improve the position thus obtained, to confer, if our representa- tives abroad shall think it discreet, with the friendly na tions upon the prospects of the war and their future course in regard to it. By way of introduction, I beg to recall to your recol- lection tho facts that at the earliest proper moment I set forth most distinctly the opiuions of this government that the mutual interests, present and permanent, of all mari time nations, including this country, require the preser- vation of Larmonious relations bedween them, and that the same interests demand that, sofar as possible, peace shall prevail throughout the world, and especially in the United Staies aud upon the Ameriean continent In explanation of these views, I set forth the opinion that the industrial system of Western Europe and the United States, including their agr: re, manufactures and commnerce, are, in Some respec be regarded less 4 distinct national systems than as one general com tion of agricultural, manutacturing avd Cia, in which a jar in me country necessarily produces distirbance in ali others, so that @ serious tisorganization ofthe machiuery employed in production bere caunot fail to result in derangement, probably in disaster, every- where abroad Thore are now some painful evidences that these specu jations were not unsouud. There 's distress among the peasant: y of freland, in the manufacturing towns of Bel ginm, acd the wine presses and silk looms in some parte of France gt be coming toa dead stand. All the sufferers—i will not stop lo inquire how justly—trace their misfortunes to the civil war of the United States, It is manifest that what the Evropean nations want fs an end of that war, a8 speedy, and leaving the industrial system of this ov as little disorganized, as possible Tt would seem impossivie for any siderate person to doubt tHat this is the very consummation which the go vernmeut of the United States must want, even more than it oan be desired by the Furopean States. This go- vornment baa expressed that want earnestly, decidedly, sometimes perhaps even impatiently. Nevertheless, the war bas continued a whole year, azojuet the wishes of Europe as well as of America, A new campaign is even beginning. In order to determine whether it is likely to fonch the desired end, it will not be unprofitable to con- sider the causes of ite prolongation to the present period This government at the beeps assumed, and it Las constantly insisted, that the Union could, must and should be preserved. On the other hand, the European nations, when they saw the storm burst upen the country, eithor doubted or actually disbelieved See, peaeeitty of that great sulvation. Europe had but asubordinate and in direct interest in the great problem and it sapposed that if the Unitod States could be only convinced that the Union could not in the end be preserved they would at once forego the sontest, and consent to anational diaso- lution, which it was erroneously thought would be follow: @d by peace, while we know tbat it would only be the be- ginaing of enviless war, Thus Buropean opinion has prac- Aically favored (he insurgenta, encouraged them with ephemeral #ymyathies and unreal expectations of foreign intervention, and bas thus protracted the war to the presont time. Certainly (his government and the Ameriean people are eveu more contident of the preservation of the Union now than they were a yoar azo, and are, therefore, evan less Jikely now than they were then to accept peace, with the ineoucelvabie pains avd perils of disalution. ‘Can it be presumptuous, (hen, for us to nsk European statosmen to roview, in tho light of the events of the war, tho formed nt go early A stage of ‘t,t overlook the contrast between the p sition ich the federal government held a year ago and tts »:oseut Sit \a- tion. ‘Then it had been practically exye led, with ati 16 a thor'ties, civil, military and naval,fom every state south of the Polomac, Ob10 and Missouri rivers, whale it was hed in close siege ip Lbig Capital, out off from commu nication wih even (he States which had remaiged loyal.

But, practically, what bas been the result thus far in the pres- ent case? ‘Has disloyalty been found an indomitable gen- timent in this war? It pervaded even this capital and this district at the beginning of the strife. It no longer exists here, It divided Maryland, and provoked conflict there. The Union is now as strong in that State as in any ‘one of the always loyal States. It committed Missouri to the pretended new confederacy. Missouri is now active and earnest among the loyal States. It io an attitude of noutrality; but Kentucky is to-day firm, resolute, and even self-devoted to the Union. In other re- gions where disloyalty was more general, such as Fastern Virginia, Tennessee, aud Louisiana and ‘North Carolina, aiescence under the fedora! authoritics has promptly acq' followed their appearance thore, and the liminary steps are taken for the restoration f the laws of the Union. It isa simpio fact that loyalty reappears overy- where just so fast as the successes of the government are deemed sufficient to afferd a guarantce for reliance upon its protection. The disunionists, even in their strongest holds, are not a people, but only a faction, surpassing the loyalgin numbers, and silencing them by terrors and severities in Rang port ‘but nevertheless too few aud feeble to prevent return of any district or any State to the Union, in the presence and under the protection of the federal authorities. ‘ ‘The President asks foreign nations to consider that we are only at the end of one year now, and yet the whole effective mass of the insurrectionary region has been brought into the field by conscription. The credit of the revolution is dead before the first dollar has been raised by taxation to support it, and the territory which must bear taxation is at once reduced to the narrowest limits, aud is exhausted of its wealth and supplies. The power of a losing faction under any circumstances must continually legs. But that of the disunionists is abating under the operation of a cause peculiar to them- selves, whicn it is now my duty to bring forward—I mean the practice of African slavery. Tam aware that in regard to this potnt I am opening a subject which was early interdict in this correspond- euce. The reason for the interdiction, and the reason for the departure from it, areghowcver, equally obvious. It was property left out of view so long as might be reason- ably hoped that by the practice of magnauimity this government might cover that weakness of the insurgents Without encouraging them to persevere in their treasona- ble conspiracy against the Union, They have protracted the wer a year, notwithstanding this forbearance of the goverument, and yet they persist in invoking foreign arms to end a domestic strife, while they have forced avery into such prominence ‘that it cainot be over- looked. ‘the region where the insurrection still remains flagrant embraces all or parts of several Stat on of 4,500,000, and @ negro pop slaves. It is thus seen to be s of the white race, not only in the tho very midst, of the enslaved negro ri It is notorious—we could not conceal the fact if we veoulil—that the dispute between them arose out of ques- tions in which the negro ra ea deep and, lusting interest, and that their sympathies, wishes aud interests naturally, necessarily, inevitably, fail on the side of tue Unie Such a civil war between two parties of the ch a place and under such circumstances, xpected to continie long before the negro gn to mapifest some sensibility and some We have arrived at that stage already. the can general receives bis information from the negro, who his comiug as a harbinger of freedom. Wherever the national army advances into the in- surrectionary region, African bondsmen, escaping from their insurrectionary’ masters, come out to meet it, and offer their service and labor in whatever capacity they may be desired. So many of these bondsmen have, even without the invitation, and often against the opposition, of ‘the federal military and naval authorities, made their ay from bondage among the insurgents to freedom among the loyalists, that the government finds itse!f oc- cupied with the consideration of measures to provide them with domiciles at home or abroad. Not less than one hundred such eseape every ye a and as the army ad- vances the number increases. i the war should continue indefinitely, every slave will become, not only a free man, but an abseatee. If the insurgents shall resist thoir escape, how could they to prevent the civil war they have tuaugurated from degenerating into a ser- vile war? True,a servile popalation, especially one so jong enslaved a@ the A‘ricans in the insurrectionary States, require time aud trial before they can organize a servile war; but if the war continues indefinitely a servile war is only a question of time. The problem, then, is whether the strife shal] be left to go on to that point. The government, animated bys just regard for the general weifare, including that of the insurrectiouary States, adopta a policy designed at once to save the Union and rescue society from that fear- ful catastrophe, while it comsults the ultimate peaceful relief of the nation from slavery. it cammot be necessary to prove to spy enlighi ned staiesman that the labor of the African tm the insurrectionary region is at present indispensable as a resource of the ineurgents for continu- ing the war, nor is it now nece-sasy 10 show that this same labor 1s the basis of the whole industrial system ex- isting in that region. The war is thus seen to be produc- ing iventy & disorganization of the industrial system of the insurrectionary States, and tending to a subversion of oven their social system. Let it next be considered that the European systems of industry are largely besed upon the Airican ve labor of the insurrection: States employed tn the production of cotton, tobacco, rice, and on the free of the other states employed | in producing cereals, out of which combined pruductions arises the demand for European productions, materials and fabrics. The 4! ization of industry, which ie already revealing i in the ineurrect! cannot but impair their ability to prosecute the war, and = the same time result indirectly in greater distress in Europe. ‘On the other hand, this disorganization operates far Jess injuriously at present to the federal government and ‘to the loyal States. Every African laborer who escapes from bis service is not only lost to the support of the in- surrection. but he brings an accession to productive labor of the loyal States,and to that extent incre: ability to continue the contest in which they nctantly engaged. The failure of foreign importatic as heretofore in return for the exportation of Southern staples stimulates the manfacturing industry of the joyal States. Immigration is accelerated by an activity in these States, resulting from extended manufacture and the prosecution of the war, Thus has the phenomenon appeared, disappointing so many prophecies tn Europe, that the war impoverishes and exhausts only the insur- rection, and not the Union. I shall not contend that those effects would be perpetual. I know there is a reckoning for every uation that has the mis- fortune to be involved in war, and I do not expect for the United States apy exemption from that inexorable saw; but it is enough for my present purpose that the penalties are neither more severe ner more imminent than the loyal Siates can endure, while bringing this unuappy contest to its destred conclusion. Let us now suppose that any one or more European States should think it right or expedient to intervene by force to United States wo accept a compromise of their so What other effect could it produ table, and even hurry on, that # deatruetive of ail European inte: war between two ‘eseuce, but in excitement.

Is not that effect visible in the obsti- nacy of the insurgents, in their destruction of the cotton and tobacco already cultivated, aud liable to be brought into commerce by the return of peace, and in their studied neglect of the planting the seed of their staples, aad turn ing so mucb of the African labor as they wre able to aave into the production of supplies of provisions aod forage to enable them to continue the war? The effect will be farther developed as time goes on, in opening a way for that servile war, which, if it shail be permitted tocome, will produce inflnice suffering through- out the world, and can only at last result in an entirely new systom of trade and commerce between the United States and ali foreign nations. T need not say that those views are not grounded on auy proceedings or expressions of the Britiah government, and are to be submitted to them only, as they will be to other States, from trong desire on the part of the President dition of the present strife may be every where fully understood.

OPINIONS OF THE BRITISH PRESS, The London —_ on Mr. Seward’s tier. the London Times, August 16.) On the 28th of last May Mr. Seward thought that a pe- riod bad arrived in the American civil war which fairly entitled him to undertake the instruction of the States of Europe, and to predict confidently the results of the strug- . In default of any memorable’evegnt upon which to yg tga ige tan Seward take8 notice that the English ships jassau are supposed to be waiting to take advantage of a relaxation of the blockade. Another favorable circumstance noted by Mr. Seward is that the ‘‘pirates’—that is, the ships-of-war of the Southern States which have occasionally sought refuge in friendly ports—bave withdrawn from the ocean. Having thus constructed for himself, with more ingenuity than solidity, what he considers a favorable platform, Mr. Seward proceeds to remind us that the industrial systems of Western Europe and of America are to be re- garded less as distinct national systems than as one general co:nbination of agricultural, commercial and manufactur! agencies. The principle is undoubted- ly true, philanthropic, and fruitful; but when we ask for met by protec- we are tion, or rather prohibition in its narrowest form—by laws |» not on the principle of combination, nor yet national rivalry, but rather on prin- ciples of rigorous exclusion and bitter hostility. Safed cats Mn te ning eh tek elit > ing can conceal nor extenvate the fact. Mr. Seward mentions, with what vg as very sincere regret, that the civil war in America been injurious to European industry, and draws the very reasovable conclusion that it is for the interest both of America and Europe that the civil war should be brought toa close. So far we can go heartily with our Mentor; but here the divergence |, for, while America considers the only possible cenclusion of the war to be the restoration of uvity, Europe has been rash enough to think that the conclusion can only be found in the duality, or, perhaps we might say, the plurality of States. This opinion Mr. Seward requests European statesmen to review, and we can have no objection to accede to his invitation, eape- cially as, in addition to other advantages, it offers usa most signal instance of the vanity of human wishes and the nnsoundness of hyman expectations. ‘We are first called upon to observe how much stronger the position of the federal government is than it was a yeur ago. The federal government, we are told, has re- taken all the positions on the seaboard it so early lost— especially, we suppose, Mobile, Pensacola, Charleston and Savannah. It possesses the Mississippi—especially, we suppose, Vicksburg and Baton Rouge. It has forced the insurgents to battie in the most inaccessible part of the imsurrectionary district—but it has not been vic- torious. The resources of the federals are in- exhaustible and increasing; those of the Con- federates are diminishing and ne: red exhausted— although the terrible defeats before Richmond are ex- cused on the plea that the federals were outnumbered in every battle. Other grounds of confidence are the strength of the Union sentiment m Maryland—where Baltimore is still kept down by armed force: the carnest- ness tn the same cause of Missouri—where terror is feit to be so requisite that men are shot on their own thresholds, without sccneation and withor neutrality of Kentucky and its Union—while, in fact, tho State is covore: parties, and has even illustrated ita fond Union by the invasion of the loyal and neighboring State of Ohio. Eastern Virginia, Teuness North Carclina and Louisiana—especiaily, we suppes’. acquiesce under federal authorities: and, general Seward concludes it isa simple fact that loyalty i pears everywhere just-as fast as the goverament is able to protect it. As every one of these statements requires the qualifiea- tion of a negative to bring it into Seance with fact, we may not unreasonably cliim the right to suggest the same modification in the conclusion which they are m- tended to prove, and to assert that, whatever be the case with the Confederates, of whom we know 80 little except by their actions, it is certatn that the feriéral resources are not inereasing nor unexhausted. Mr. Seward urges, though as yet facts do not bear him out in his opinion, that the struggle, if continued much louger, must tormi- nate in a servile war. Let us grant bim this, for the sake of argument. It wili not follow that the North will Denefit because the South are injured. We are told that every fugitive sleve brings a benefit to the North in the of an increase of productive labor. But are the North seusible of this bene@t. Do they wish for an increase of their productive labor on such terms? If so, why is it that from many States the negro is absolutely excluded, and in many others his position isso miserable that expuision itself had been more merciful than such hospitality? The failure of i we are told, beneficial to the man- : but just im the same degree it is injurious to the consumers of manufacturers, and adds to the other miseries of war, the curse of dearnces and scarcity of articles of necessary congumption. Im- migration is, we are told, acceierated by the war and the demapd for labor. We greatly doubt the fact. grants are,as Mr. Soward would say, like other men— they go t© Amorica im search of freedom, cHeapness, peace and pienty. For freedom they are offered the sus” pension of the habeas corpus act, supplemented by a conscription; for cheapness they have the exclusion of all foreign commoditics; of peace we need say nothing; and as for plenty, it can hardly wait on these who cannot draw their pay from the treasury of an insolvent government. yagh it thus appears that there is hardly a word in Mr. Seward’s letter in which it ia possible to agree, we yet cordially subscribe to his conclusion, that, as things now wand, any idea of intervention would be quite absurd—ot, as be argues, be- cause it would urelesely protract the miseries of a useless struggle, but because thinks being exactly the contrary of that which he assertathem to be, we may wisely and safely leave that which was begun without our advice to work itself out without our interference. When the —_ areripe they will fall, though we do not lend a tree. We neutral, and neithor the loss of the raw mate rial of our manufacture nor the hard measure which has been dealt out to British subjebts accused of intending to break the blockade will i @ ua to quil our present atti- tude of neutrality. There is mothing more to be said. The government of America need not seck to work upon the susceptibilities of the masses by a perpetual recur. recce to topic of foreign intervention. They boast that they are able speedily to finish the war, let them apply themselves to the task, for it will negd all their strength and all their courage.

A Spanish frigate had been sent to Civita Vecchia to be placed at tho Pope's disprsal. The Italians in Paris report that it is the fixed idea of Garibaldi to provoke, in person, a col!:iou with the French at Rome, and, cut or shot down by these foreign troops, to leave a legacy of formidable fury to the Italian nation, 80 a5 to baille Napoleonic designs. ‘The new French joursal La Prance says France will insist upon three things-—first, the independence of Italy; second, the maintenanoe of the papacy; and, third, the influence of France It is, however, remarked that the two latter propositions are absolutely incompatible with the independence of Italy.

The animal canght one man on his boros, but, strange to say, did not do him apy injury. At this ‘time a fireman of Engine Company 19 drew an axe and dealt the ox a powerful blow on the forehead, knocking bNa down. His tbroat waa then cut, aud aiter a short time the infuriated auimai was beyond doing any more damage. Emereziemeyt.—On Tuesday Merwin Devean, employed as a bookkeeper by Mrs. Catharine Chamberlain, a com- mission agent doing business at tho foot of Thirtieth street, North river, was brought before Justice Kelly, charged by his employer withembozzlement, It appears that the prisoner, who resides at 74 Forsyta street, was employed by Mrs. Chamberlatn last January, and’ was dizcharged by her a few days since. A‘ter hua discharge a default of $700 was found in his books, aud he was ac- cordingly srrested. Justice Keliy committed bim in de- fault of $1,000 bail. Forcery.—The New York and Erie Railroad Company recently iseued fifty cent orders to the amount of about $3,000, owing to the scarcity of change. These orders pass as cash among the agents of the road, and at hotels, eating saloons and other places. Latterly com- plaints have been almost daily made that forged orders have been pouring in upon treasurer, and measures were taken tw learn .from what source they emanated. Ex-polwe oillcer Hugh Mas- terson, special it for the company, set 1o work m the affair, and soon found that William Crandall, a boy seventeen years old, and who is fireman on one of the freight traius, wos engaged in circulating the forged orders. Crandadi was therefore arrested, but be refused togive the name of bis accomplices. Justice Connolly locked him sp for trial.

M. The money market presents no new features: Money on call iaabout 4 per cent, with exceptions at3a 3%. Mercantile paper sells at 4 06 per cent for the highest grade, and 6 a7 for names less generally known. Certiticates of indebted- ness soll at 99% a %; demand notes at 107% a %. The Sub-Treasurer received on deposit to-day $40,000, and $28,000 for conversion into 5-20 bonds. Nothing was done in exchange to-day; rates re- ‘main the same—127 a 1% for bankers’ bills on Lon- don, and 4.45 a 4.42% for francs. Gold continues to fluctuate between 1154 and 115%, closing this afternoon at 11544 bid. A large number of bankers and speculators, holders of gold, are anxiously watching the” course of events in Vir- ginia, ready to sell the moment they are satisfied that suceess is secured to the Union side. The market would have been lower to-day but for the rumors of trouble and disaster set afloat by se- cessionists at Baltimore and Washington, and readily re-echoed by their sympathizers here. Tho stock market continues active at a further atvance in prices. Every day that no bad news comes to hand stocks advance, under the combined intluence of an easy monoy market, increasing railway traffic and the forthcoming issues of paper money. Nothing but defeat or rumor of defeat seems to avail to check the upward movement of prices, even for a day.

For railway bonds the demand was extremely active and prices higher. Chicago and Northwestern assented bonds rose 2 per cent, the second mortuages \%, Piitsbue and Fort Wayne thirds 3 per cent. We note asale ef Frankitnite Steel—the new concern lately intro- duced upon the board list—at 554, an advance of 34. After the first board the was strong, and Central sold at Erie at 69%, and other popular shares at a corresponding advance. Before the second board met some operators be- gan to reslize profits, and prices declined about per cent all round. A further decline of about 3¢ per cent on the average ensued at the second board, without, however, any evidence of weak- ness in the market. Speculators who buy in the morning are usually willing to sell at }4 a 4%ad- vance in the afternoon; and meanwhile a steady consumptive demand is gradually lessening the quantity of reliable dividend paying securities om the market.

Thus far the Secretary, with his usual sagacity, has repelled these suggestions, and de- @lined to create a dozen or more new offices for the emolument of deserving politicians. He is well aware of the fact that a new engraving establishment, with no other patron than the gov- ernment, could not compete, in regard to the beauty and excellence of the work done, with the long established and experienced companies in ex- - istence in this city. It would take years fora new concern at Washington to produce bills which would defy the skill of the counterfeiter—as tho legal ten- der notes do. Nor can it be supposed that Mr. Chase is blind to the danger of entrusting hired agents of government with the power of overissueing go- vernment moncy, when he can secure perfect im. munity against overissues by dealing with wealthy corporations whose whole capital is at stake, an@ would be lost by such an accident. It is not so long since Cobb, and Floyd, and Thompson, held sway in Washington. If there had been a govern- ment bank note engraving office in operation in their time, they would have had a few extra mil- lions struck off for the use of the rebels. If the government was over paying the bank note com- panies for the work they do the politicians who are worrying Mr. Chase might have some excuse. But it is a fact that the United States government is getting its work done for fifteen per cent less than was ever paid for similar work by thee Bank De- partment at Albany, or any other bank department or bank throughout the country. The moneyed public in Pennsylvania and in this State have been lately busily engaged in picking up the securities of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad. Within afew days the first mortgages have risen from 90 to 97, the seconds 77 to 84, the thirds from 50 to 62, and the stock {vom 30 to 39, The advance arises main- ly from a growing appreciation of the geographical advantages of this line, which may be said to run thrgugh a fine country, from our greatest centre of manufacturing industry to our greatest depot of agricultural produce. The present net earnings of the road amount to five times the interest on the first mortgage, and to twice the interest on the whole bonded debt. They will leave, this year after payment of all interest and expenses, a sur’ plus equal to about 12 per cent on the capital stock.
