e States. Of course that Constitution must be submitted to all the States. How long a time does the gentleman from Princess Anne suppose this would take ? He would have to count, not by months, but by years. The gentleman was getting over to Mr. Seward's plan. Mr. Scott thought that while he was indulging in hyper- criticism upon the schemes of others, he was blind to the monstrous defects of his own scheme. Mr. Wise replied that the gentleman did not meet his argument, and indulged in e thought was the best for preserving the peace and reconstructing the Union. All that the South had ever lost was lost by compromise with these "conservative Black Republicans," (an animal of whose existence he could scarcely conceive,) like Wm H. Seward. The vote was taken upon Mr. Wise's amendment, and it was rejected — yeas 48; nays 80. Mr. Thornton, of Prince Edward, moved to amend Mr. Scott's amendment by striking out all after the word "body," and inserting the following:

Final reply of the Confederate Commissioners.their Departure from Washington. Washington, April 11. --It was heretofore stated that Secretary Seward, in reply to the note of the Confederate State Commissioners, refused to receive them in their diplomatic character. They responded and were again answered on the part of the government.--Yesterday the Commissioners sent to him their final communication. It is said to reflect severely on the Administration, taking the ground that they have exhausted every resource for a peaceful solution of the existing difficulties, and that if civil war results, on the head of the U. S. Government will rest the responsibility. They charge the Administration with having been guilty of gross perfidy, insisting that under the shelter of the pretext and assertion that Sumter was to be evacuated, an immense armada has been dispatched to provision and reinforce that fort. They repeat that they had almost daily indirect assurances from the Adminis

h a solution as this is worthy the profound philosopher from whom it emanates — That ladies have an irreconcilable antipathy to that which is low and coarse, is true enough, and that in this may be found one reason for their ayersion to Lincolndom is undeniable.--Nothing could well be more intensely vulgar than the man whom the people of the North have deliberately chosen as their representative and ruler, though he is less nanseating in his undisguised blackgardisms than his prime minister, Seward: a creature even more depraved in his morals, whose elaborate imitation of the habits and manners of good society cannot conceal from the world that he is in no respect a well-bred man; and, what is far worse, has none of the instincts of a gentleman. Like the master is his following, and never, we suppose, since the world begun, were as many blackguards collected together under the banners of civilzation as the scrapings of all Christendom, the multitudinous "lewd fellows of the baser sort

We should hope the treatment of the French Consul would rouse the resentment of the Emperor. But if it should, Seward would only spologize like the cringing dog he is, and all would be soon right again. No doubt the treatment of the Belgian Consul will call forth a storm of words in the British Parliament.

The Mexican question. Important Statement of the Views of the Lincoln Government. The following circular letter has been addressed by the abolition Secretary Seward to the several American legations abroad. It is a translation from a French version, which appears in the Archives Diplomatiques: Washington, Monday, March 3, 1862, Sir: We observe indications of a growing impression in Europe that the demonstration made by the Spanish, French and British forces against Mexico is likely Mexican Government, in order that the latter might, with the approbation of the Allies, extricate itself from its present embarrassments. But this is strictly a question of internal administration. There could be no greater error than to see in this disagreement a divergence of opinion in our Government, or in the American people, in regard to their cordial wishes for the safety, weifare, and stability of the Republican Government in that country. I am your obed't serv't, Wm H. Seward.
