WASHINGTON, Feb. 23, 1870, The safe return of Mr, Seward, ex-Secretary of State, and party from their extended and protracted journey in the bypertorean latices of Alaska and ‘tropical regions of Yiexlco is an event of interest sand grawfication to the large circle of iriends he has ‘gathered about him, bis afternoon your corres- pondent calied upon the ex-Secrelary at his rooms at Barnum’s Hotel, tn Baltimore, being shown into his private parlor, She Secretary was seated with his two sons, Frederick aud Wilham, Jr, and Mrs, Frederick Seward. The Secretary had qast finished his dmner and was indulging ™ a fragrant Havana, He looked ten years younger than witon he left the responsibilities an@ harastments “of official life, His face has a florid hue that might-oe expected in one far younger than umself, produced by a sharp walkon a winter morbing. is eye possessed an unusual lustre. His movements about the room were astonishingly supple. CORRESPONDENT~You are looking remarkably well, Mr, Secielary. Your journey must have becn @ picasane one. Mr. SEWARD—It was. J enjoyed all that I sawa@nd heard very much. 1 return, as all traveilers should return, with much that is new, much to think about and mueh to reflect upon. ConRESPONDENT—No Gonbt you found Alaska all that wae said of it by its [riends? Mr. Skwanp—I did, indeed. It is a most wonderful country, Sitka is an old Russian town, In the deys of Russian authority it was the centre of trade of all Russian America. Since the American government has taken control the business of the country has been transferred to Ban Francisco, Sitky now is @ sort of depot where furs, fish and lumber are brought for shipment to San Francisco houses, where the business ts done. 1 made a number o1 excursions into the interior. 1 saw the finest rivers teeming with fish and noble forests of the fuest lumber in the world. I visited severai of the Iudian trives, and found a people tractable, quict and peaceable. The climate of the country never goes below fourteen above sero, Fah- renheit, and in summer ranges between seventy and eighty. Iextendeda my travels as far north as lat- tude sixty, and found a wonderful country and mila climate. 1 consider Alaska the shipyard of the worid, and in addition to 1s lumber it bas unparal- felea resources of fish and fars, In regard to the fur trade, the regulations for its overnment seem to be working well. Some- thing, however, should be done not to run that other great source of wealth, the fur seal. The seal islands of Alaska are the Quest in the world and should be protected by judicious laws, The popu- tation of Alaska 1s smal), but 1 the progress of ciy- iizavion It will be the scene of wonderin! industry. Population is now owing into our own ‘Territory of Wastungton; next tt will go to British Columbia, a vast country, and next to Alaska. Alaska in timber and climate is simular to Wasuington Territory. CORRESPONDENT—What do you tink about @ goy- ernment for the country f Mr, SEWARD—1 think it needs some form of civil government, but it must be very simple. 1¢ would be unnecessary to have apy complicated system at present. It would not be*proper for me to say that the acquisition of Alaska was a valuable extension of territory, but I founda it, from personal observa- ton, far to exceed my previously formed opinion of its vast wealth. OGRRESPONDENT—Your visit to Mexico, from accounts, ynust lave been aiso graufying. Mr. Sewanp—I always feita acsire to personally visit Mexico and examine its soll, 1ts variety of land- pe, lis aacient remains, its people and its insti- tations. When {landed in Mexico I iound that the vernment had made preparations for my journey. had my own choice oi the means of travel and the Jength of my daily journey, On landing on Mex- dean soil I. proceeded by boat across a beauuful lake. The boats were ciegautly fitted up, and were 1 every respect as comfortable as the river steam- e78 in Our own country. ‘The boats were propelled by oars; though not so rapid a means of locomotion as steam, was certatnly more pleasant. After croas- ing the lake we took she diligences, passing the end of each Gay’s journey in towns on the way. In ali the distance from the Pacific to the Mexican capitat 1 bad but twenty-four miles on horseback over a tract of country which it would be impossible to travel in led vehicies. CORRES PONDENT—I presuine you met all the Mexi- ean notables ? Mr. Skwarp,—Yes. [found the Prestdent of the republic a mam eminentiy fitted for his nigh station, Juarez 18 a wali of prudence, wisdom aud foresignt, and I believe has the 1mterests of his people at stake. 1 found the Mex tcane a people frugal in their habits and simple in Useir views. The country, it 1s true, for the pass filty years has been distracted by civil wars sind has suffered the evil conse- quences incident to all internal commotions, Out of 8,000,000 of people abont 6,000,000 are Aztecs, the descendants of the early habitants of the country. J fovind them industrious, and under a Permanent and (iubstaaual administration would certainly make ihe basis ofa firm government. There are some features in the Mexican government that might be tmitated \py our own. Bewween all branches there exists the ind3t harmonious action, it would seem that political disturbances would be imposei- ble; stil there are rambitious persons that Keen to exist everywhere. .All I can say avout my visit to Mexico is, that I was' much pleased. The peopie are devotedly attached to tueir counrry, are loyal aud patriotic, CORRESPONDENT—Aow did you find matters tn » Cada? Mr, Sewanp—i lave just come from that country and I think it would j90t b@ proper to express any opinions at all. You will understand iay position when I say Unis. fhe Secretary mentioned also tn regard to Mexico that he nad not you reagned Ms home and therefore considered lumse:! still under the obligations in spired by so mu: hospitality. What opinious he liad formed ie must reserve until some future time, wher he had carefully reflected upon what he bad seen and the yaiable facts ne nad gathered. CORRBESPONDENT—1t is unnecessary for me to tn- form you of the death of Mr. Burlingame, Mr. Spwarn—i received @ despatch to-day an- nouncing the sudden death of Mr. Burlingame. its death is a great calamity. His death ts a loss to the world. Mf Burlingame waa a man of pracucal views, and with his cwergy und skill has been the /Anstrumert of seiting Li motion one of the greatest \ Progressive revolutfions of the age.

A Rochefort Mceting—Anntal Dinner Com- memorative of the French Revolution of 1845—Ked Hot Republicans—“Denth to the Emperor”’—Words of Encouragement to the Paris Hioters. About six hundred of the French citizens of New York sat down last evening toa banquet at the Union Assembly Rooms, in Elizabeth atreet, in commewor- ation of the French Revolution of February 24, 1848, in which Louis Philup was deposed and a short-lived repablic inaugurated. The dinner should have been given this evening, but tbe committee of arrange: ments found that every hall in the city was engaged, and were thus compelled to anticipate the anniver- sary. Among the guests were many ladies, Afver the dinner Was discussed ‘The president of the society, Mr. Charlea Villa, read an address, which 1s to be sent to the republi- cans of France. He spoke of the number of his feliow citizens present who had suffered exile and persecution in their devotion to democratic institu- tions; that during the long dark years since Decem- ber, 1951, in which the tyrant of France had en- slaved a people who had drenched the soli of their native land im biood for liberty, they had never despaired of France's regeneration, notwithstana- ing the apparent lassitude and indifference of the heroes of 1848 to thé faith of republicanism. But since the advent of the Lanterne, which has en- couraged other lights of iiberty to shine through France, they were compeiled to cry the great nation is still alive to political emancipation and virtue. She again awakens and throws of personal gov- ernment, and now it his only a question of time, on the 26th of last Uctover they bad hoped the beginning of the end bad come. But since the arrest and incarceration of*Henri Rocheford they have decided otherwise, and have submitted to the judgment of their conjreres in France. They gent them this counsel and advice, Y are on the the opportunity, be firm and indefatigadie In the propagation ol our principles, Remain irre- concilably opposed to all adverse to democracy. Haye prudence and avoid a!) rash demonstrations, so much desired by those in power. Remain vigi- lant, but apparently inactive; but in the moment of the decease of the great criminal who has so much dishonored France and humanity, be assured the republic is an established fact, You andoubtedly form the majority of France's population, and have the sympathy of the whole world.” Messrs. Orsini, brother of the attempted assassin of the Napoleon; Goin and Fedeut, followed in the same strain, amid enthusiastic cries of “Vive Rochefort,” “én vas URmpire;” ‘Vive la republique.” The banquet was conciuded about eleven, and the assembly dispersed iu a state of auch political excitement, POLYGLOTISM. The Subject Before the New York Liberal Club. ‘The nineteenth meeting of the above nawed society was held last evening at their rooms, No. 23 Third avenue. Professor George Batchelor read a very able paper On Polyglotism. The speaker said that as he had listened to remarks made upon former occasions betore the suciety he could not help observing in the tone, the accent and the expressions of the various speakers that they had come from all the cardinal points of the eartb. This fact encouraged him to belleve that the society would extend a liberal hos- Pitality to strangers who knock at the door of Web- sier’s Dictionary, to be received in the already large family of English words. Polyglotsm, the title of his paper, was a new word, intended to ex- press that peculiar state of things created in our midst by the peaceful commingling of so many tongued people. Think of it! Alongside of the Engilsh speaking ‘population, easily distinguished trot one another by certain peculiarities, we have 100,000 persons speaking Ger- man, 50,000 speaking French, 10,000 who speak itaitan, and hundreds of Spaniards and nearly every otber nationality known, and the confusion of tongues is nearly ae great as that of the time of the building of the Tower of Babel, with this very great difference in our favor, however, that we succeed in understanding one another, aftera fashion, With hundreds aud thousands of foreigners coming among us every day is certainly behooves us to take stepsto meet the novel Waut of linguistic knowledge, He thought that at jeast tne Spanish, French and German languages should be taught tn every school throughout the en- tire Jand, and that better advantages should be afforded for foreigners coming into our midst to Jearn Ca speak our own language, A COLORED CLERICAL “SPORT.” Tl examination of Oscar Ritter, the colored mia- ister, on a charge of attempted rape, came olf Tues- day, at Piushing, L.

Covert lor THE YACHT METEOR. The Crew Saved—Twenty-one Days Among the Wild Arabs—Details of the Catas- trophe from the Second Officer— Return of tho Crew. Brier particulars have already appeared in the AERALD of the 1088, off the coast of Algiers, on the 12th December, of the yacht Meteor, ina gale. For many days fears were entertained for the safety of the owner, Mr. George L. Lorillard; his guest, Mr. Philip Robinson, and the crew ot twenty-two per- sons, Later advices gave us the pleasing assurance that all on board had been saved, From the second omicer, Who has arrived in this city, some interesung details of the loss of the Meteor Nave been obtamed. HBR CRUISE OUT TO AFRICA. ‘The yacht lett this port on the 28th of August, and after @ rapid run, which was remarkable for plea- sant weather, arrived at Cowes on October 9, After remaining there aome days she satied for Lisbon, Portugal. The ae Was noted for nothing of un- usual mterest, the trim little craft making excellent time on the pi e, and thence to Tunis, From ‘Tunis she proceeded vo the port of Algiers, 1n North Alrica, W she for a few days. Her next cruise was to Malta, where she arrived without accident, On the 10th of December tue Meteor beat out of the harbor, for Tunis. A GALE. For the frat hours she ex} need plea- sant weather, but on the nignt of the 11th the wind freenened considerably. At five o'clock on the morning of the 12th, while running along the coast, near Cape @ strong easterly gale struck her, Tue commander of the vessel took prompt measures to meet the storm that threatened; but twenly minutes Jater the noble vessel struck a coral reef heavily three times as she went upon it and over it. The weather at the time was thick and raining, and there was no indication previous lo striking of apy immediate danger, » THE WREC! As the sea lifted her up and hurled her upon the treacherous reef she trembied from stem to stern, and for en instant those on board believed she would go to pieces. The swells carried her over, but with the loss, however, of her keel—fourteen tons of lead. Alter passing the reef she stranded in the sand In eight feet of water, and the seas that struck her, forelbly and often, fatied to extricate the vessel, whicn fell upon her beam ends, ATTEMPTS TO WORK HER OFF. The crew atiempted to set the matosati, dring her to the wind and work her off. After strenuous efforts they were successful in setting the sail, out she continued to thump heavily until daylight, the seam the meantime breaking over her with con- staptly imereasing fury. At seven o’clocy all hope of working the vessel off was abandoned. The gale increased in violence and promised to result in the loss of all on board. In this uying emert gency the satis were lowered and juried, and a life line run fore and aft the deck to prevent the crew from being washed overboard. RESCUED FROM DEATH. The commander now turned nis attention to the rescue of those on board. The point where she stranded was off Cape Bonn, one-lourth of a mie from the shore, <A boat was launched immediately, and, manned by stout hearts, it succeeded in weathering the angry sea that threatened to en- gulf 10 and running @ line ashore, by the aid of whic all the souls On board safely reacned land, ON A BARREN STRAND. The point where they landed was entirely desti- tute of habitants, except a few wild Arabs, who passed up and down the coast. The nearest point of succor was Tunis, eighty miles distant, The in- terpreter was immediately despatched for that polat to secure assistance for the shipwrecked crew. For several hours the sea ran so high that all communication with the wreck was cut oif, STRIPRING THE WRECK. The next day the gale subsided and provisions, sails and necessary stores were landed. Tents were manufactured from the sails and the adventurous Americans organized their encampment on the soil of Africa. Several days were spent in removing ihe rigging, spars, stores, &c., all of which were landed, leaving the bare hull subject to the will of Old Boreas, Finally the English steamer Lancefield arrived from Malta, and getting out lines endeavored to .draw the gallant yacht off, but all efforts proved sbortize, 68 she was too firmly embedded in te THE DEPARTURE FOR CIVILIZATION. As timber is very scarce and valuable on the coast, the hull of the Meteor was sawed into three gurts, broken up and placed on board the steamer,Pwith the rigging, stores and crew, and on the ist of Jan- uary the scene of their vicissitudes was left, In due time they arrived at Malta, from which the ship- wrecked men were shipped vo this port by ited StatesConsul Adams, of that city. e timber se- cured from the wreck was sold at Malta, and the apart cigein and other appurtenances forwarded to city. THR CAUSE OF THE CATASTROPHE. ‘The gentleman from whom these particulars have Deen ascertained asserts that no blame can be at- tached to any one for the loss of the Meteor, The probable cause was the presence of an unknown cur- rent that carried her too far in shore, as there have been no surveys of this coast for many years, and no mention of these currents, which old Coast cap- os claim exist, are given in the late sailing direc- ons. THE CONDUCT OF THE CREW during the trying scenes enacted, when deatn stared them in the face, is spoken of im terms of the highest admiration. Messrs. Lorillard and Robinson, the captain—indeed, ail on board—displayed al) the courage and self-possession of heroes, and labored assiduously to save not only their own lives, but the noble crait. To their coolness is ascribed the salva- ton of all on board. PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE. Prominent Arrivals in This City Yesterday. Colonel B. A. M, Frotseth, of Balt Lake City, Utah; Dr. G. 8.

Tne only word that had been said against that road was one er letter from Mr. Badeau, of New _ Rochelle, if they had any obicction to the com- missioners why did they not come out like men, and say, “You have robbed us,” If the property was taxed aia fair valuation, even 1 the viliuge Of Mount Vernon, it would not be moge than one and a half per cent at the farthest. b™ this litule clap-trap talk amounted to nothing. dared them to prove anything against him.
