Northern news — the Recognition rumor — rejoicing in Baltimore. Orange C. H., March 13. --The Washington Chronicle, of the 10th, contains Seward's celebrated letter of July 11th to Ministered Adams, relative to the English iron clads.--He says that the United States Government will be satisfied with the decision in the Alexandra case if affirmed by the highest courts.
