the peace with England and France, New York Tribune, July 9. was recognized in public journals and letters from constituents. At the same time he was gathering materials for an address on foreign affairs to be delivered in the autumn, and maintaining our cause in full letters to Cobden, Bright, and the Duchess of Argyll. Those were intended to set right the duke, then in the Cabinet. He kept up close relations with the foreign ministers resident at Washington,— Lord Lyons, Mercier, Schleiden, and Baron Gerolt the dean of the corps, the last named always his cordial friend; and he was a favorite guest at their family as well as their state dinners. Lord Lyons, though not at all earnest for our cause, was not unfriendly to it, and our country was on the whole fortunate in having him at this critical period as the representative of Great Britain in Washington.

My letters assure me that Germany at last is a unit, and that it will stand by Schleswig-Holstein. Schleiden, who is very intelligent, is openly for war. He says that the connection of the provinces with Denmark must be cut. This is war. Motley writes from Vienna that in his opinion war is inevitable. Mercier leaves Washington to-day. Inter nos, he will tell the emperor that the Mexican expedition is a mistake, and that he ought to withdraw it; but that the national cause here is hopeless, and that the war will end in separation! This I have from his own lips. To W. E. Gladstone, Jan. 1, 1

Schleiden, May 1 Mr. Schleiden was now minister of the Hanse Towns in London.:— At last the military power of the rebellion is broken, and we are dismissing our troops. But, say the doubters, you cannot establish peace and tranquillity. This is the second line of diplomacy. Here again I reply confidently, as I once replied on the other question, We can. This will be by calling the colored population to the elective franchise. You know that for some tine this has been my demand, so that all shall be equal bef
