THE Sim, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENlrif GI, MARCH 13, 1862.

Mr. SEWARD'S despatch thus far, however, the
reader finds himself at length brought face to face
with its gist or gravamen 1 After the Minister at
Washington has written furthermore to the Ambas-
sador at Paris—" But when these suggestions aro
made in compliance with the rules of the Court, it
is not to be claimed as matter of right, or even as
matter of national comity, that the presentation or
audiences shall therefore be granted"—Mr. SEWARD
adds, with scornful emphasis, " I have dwelt upon
the subject longer than was due to any importance
that it can claim." He writes disdainfully—" It is
peculiarly uncomfortable at this moment to find
American citizens leaving their country a prey to
faction and civil war, disturbing the Court of a
friendly Power, and embarrassing our representa-
tive there with questions of personal interest and
pretension." Nor is this all. " Let the Emperor
and Empress of FRANCE," continues Mr. SEWARD,
" receive whom they will, and as many or few as
they will, and let all others, as well as those who
are admitted turn their attention to the question
how they can serve their country abroad, and f
they find no better way to do it than by making
their attendance in the saloons of the luileries,
let them return home to a country that now, for the
first time, and not for a long time, needs the
active efforts of every one of its loyal children to
save itself from destruction." And in conclusion,
" above all things," he writes to the diplomatic
representative of his Government at Paris, " have
no question with the Government of France on
this subject. Rather"—he cries out in noble
accents, half of anguish, half of derision—" rather
introduce nobody, however justly distsnguished,
than let a question of fashion or ceremony appear
in the records of the important period in which we
are acting for the highest interests of our country
and of humanity."

MADRID, MARCH 12.

The Government has determined upon assuming
a firm attitude in regard to the question of the
Melilla frontiers. It has also decided not to receive
Mr. Roos, the Commissioner of the Confederate
States of America.

BERLIN, WEDNESDAY.

The semi-official Preussische (Stern) Zeitung of
to-day publishes an article upon the circumstances
which led to the late crisis, and the reasons for
which the Ministers tendered their resignation.
The article states that the resignation has not
been accepted by the King. " But by maintain-
ing the resolutions take:. in November, 1858, and
by dissolving the Chamber of Deputies, his Ma-
jesty again affords the country an opportunity of
proving its determination to support a policy
which is in conformity with his Majesty's inten-
tions to continue the gradual development of well-
considered reforms. The Government, in making
an appeal to the country, remains firmly resolved
to act in conformity with the general interests of
the nation, and having settled the question of the
taxes on landed property in a satisfactory man-
ner, thinks it will be able to vanquish the less stub-
born resistance which is offered to the projected
measures of reform, and to insure their satisfactory
accomplishment. In view of the instructive events
of the last few days all thoughtful men should strive
to secure the return of prudent deputies at the
approaching elections."

THE GREAT _ASSEMBLY OF ITALIAN

LIBER.ALS AT GENOA.

Letters from Genoa contain a fall report of the
first sitting of the General Assembly of the Prov-
vedimento. These accounts dwell upon the un-
bounded admiration of the Genoese for Garibaldi.
Flags hung from every window, and cries of "Viva
Garibaldi" resounded through the streets. The
appearance of his calm and dignified countenance
in the carriage which conveyed him to the place of
meeting excited the people to the greatest pitch of
enthusiasm. The platform in the hall was crowded
with Garibaldian heroes—members of the cele-
brated " thousand," the comrades of Garibaldi at
Massala, Calatafimi, Palermo, Naples, and Capua.
The General appears to have been much moved on
seeing himself surrounded by his old followers.
The verification of the powers of each delegate
having taken place, Garibaldi rose and spoke as
follows :
