CORRESPONDENCE- BETWEEN MESSRS.
SEWARD AND LOTHROP MOTLEY.

The New York papers publish the following cor-
respondence between Mr. Seward and Mr. Lothrop
Motley, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni-
potentiary of the United States of Vienna :

MR. SEWARD TO MR. MOTLEY.

Department of State, Washington, Noy-. 21, 18G6.

Sir,--A citizen of the United States has ad-
dressed a letter to the President of the United
States from Paris, in which he represents that he
had travelled extensively in Europe during the
last year, in the course of which ho had occasion
to see something of our ministers and consuls in
various countries ; that most of those whom he met
were bitterly hostile to the President and his ad-
ministration, and expressed that hostility in so free
a /tanner as to astonish Americans and to leave a
very bad impression on Europeans. 4e adds that
you do not pretend to conceal your disgust, as, he
says, you style it, at the President's whole conduct ;
that you despise American democracy, and loudly
proclaim that an English gentleman is the model of
human perfection ; that the President has deserted
his pledges and principles in common with Mr.
Seward, who, you say, is hopelessly degraded
Your denial or affirmation of the truth of these re•
ports is requested.—l am, sir, your obedien
servant,

WILLIAM 11. SEWARD.
To J. L. Lothrop Motley, Esq.
MR. MOTLEY TO MR. SEWARD.

Legation of the United States, Vienna,
Dec. 11, 1866.

Hon. William 11. Seward, Secretary of State,—
Sir,—An hour or two ago I received a letter from
; you, dated 21st November, 1866, to which I hasten
to reply. You inform me that a citizen of the
United States has addressed a letter to the Presi-
dent, from Paris, stating that in the course of the
last year " he bad occasion to see something of our
ministers and consuls in various countries ;" that
most of those whom he met were bitterly hostile to
the President and his Administration, and expressed
that hostility in so open a manner as to astonish
Americans and leave a very bad impression on
Europeans. With the opening paragraph relating
generally to the United States ministers and consuls
abroad I have nothing especially to do. Other
gentlemen are fully competent to answer for them-
selves. You proceed to sty, "He adds that you
do not pretend to conceal your disgust, as he says
you style it, at the President's whole conduct ; that
you despise American democracy, and loudly pro-
claim that an English gentleman is the model of
perfection ; that the President has deserted his
pledges and principles in common with Mr.
Seward, who, you say, is hopelessly degraded."
You close by requesting me to deny or confirm
the truth of these reports. My first impulse on
receiving the letter was to content myself with a
flat denial of their truth. On a little further re-
flection, however, I do not wish that there should
be doubt as to my political sentiments as a repre-
sentative of the foreign politics of the Government.
I have done my best faithfully to discharge my
duties in strict conformity with my instructions. In
the conflict of opinions in regard to home questions,
especially that of reconstruction, my views have
never been asked for by the United States Govern-
ment, and I should have considered it unbecoming
and superfluous to volunteer a public declaration
of them, as certainly should I have deemed it
my duty to express them frankly whenever they were
e
officially demanded. That I have called " Mr.
Seward hopelessly degraded"eply thaty ison ae voillde
satleunmfno
calumny
a;
and it wounds me d
moment to such a falsehood. I u conclusion, I have
only to add that I beg herewith respectfully to re-
sign my post as United
States Minister at Vienna.
—I am, sir, your obedient servant,
(Signed) LOTIIROP J. MOTLEY.

CONVICTION OF STEPHEN JOSEPH MEANY.—On

with the Fenian conspirators both in Ireland and America,
was tried in Dublin on a charge of treason-felony, and was

LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY.
IV° understand that representatives of the debenture
holders and of the other securities of this railway have
boon in communication with the directors, and that there
is now every prospect of an amicable settlement of all
points in dispute.—Railway NEIO3.

THE FENIANS TAPPING THE WIRES.—It is more
than probable that among the Fenians who have
been recently operating about Killarney there are a few
experts—as far as tapping the wires go. In the late war
i❑ America Forrest, Stuart, and Morgan gained much popu-
larity in consequence of the manner in which they tapped
the wires, and thereby convoyed important Federal news to
the Southern authorities. One or two tricks of this kind
Lave been just enacted in Ireland, and it is stated that the
Fenians, bad there really been any serious assemblage,
could Lave tapped every wire from Fairhead to Valentia.
THE RAILWAY TUNNEL THROUGH THE ALPS.—
The official report on tho progress of tho Mont Genie
Tunnel states, that on tho 31st of December last 3.940
metres were completed on the Bardoneche side, and 2,434
metres on that of Modena; that 1,025 metres were com-
pleted in 1866 ; and that 5,849 metres remain to be cum •
pleted.

EPIDEMIC INFLUENZA IN LONDON. —Practitioners
at the West-end speak of a rather considerable epidemic of
influenza which has prevailed during the last three weeks,
although it dues not seem to have yet made any show in
the ltegistrar-General's weekly return. Violent catarrh
and great Bongo of muscular fatigue are the early symp-
toms ; and these are followed by neuralg,ia in the head and
face.--31c(lical Times.
