The North Star had arrived at New York from
Aspinwall,;with 953,340 dols. in specie.
A petition for the expulsion of Mr. Russell from
the United States having been presented to Mr.
Seward, he replied as follows :--
" Department of State, Washington, Sept. 21.
" Many intelligent and patriotic citizens have ap-
plied to me by memorial, asking the attention of the
Government to what they represent as treasonable
matter, contained in a letter bearing the date of
Washington, August 10, published in the London
Times, and they express their conviction that the
statements made in that communication are untrue,
and that it is the design of the writer to bring the
credit and fame of this Government into disrepute
in foreign countries. It has been a habit of the Go-
vernment of the United States to take no notice of
representations, however obnoxious, made by the
press of foreign nations, or even injurious utterances
made by Ministers or other agents for foreign Powers,
in the ordinary transaction of their own affairs. The
Government, on the contrary, has hitherto recognised
as worthy of its observation only the language and
the action of the executive organs of foreign States.
For myself, I confess I have not read the publica-
tion complained of, and I am quite sure that it has
not arrested the attention of any other member of
the Administration, engrossed, as we all necessarily
are with urgent public duties and carer. However
erroneous the facts or the inferences of the writer
may be, they nevertheless stand on his individual
authority, while the whole patriotic press of our
country is free, and is interested to refute them.
The Government of the United States depends, not
upon the favour or goodwill of foreign nations, but
upon the just support of the American people. Its
credit and its fame seem to me now, more than ever
heretofore, safe in their keeping. If it be assumed
that the obnoxious paper may do any harm here, is
it not a sufficient reply that probably not 50 copies
of the London Times ever find their way to our
shores ? If it be said again, that the obnoxious
communication has been widely published in the
i United States, t seems to me a sufficient rejoinder
that the censure of a magnanimous Government in
that case ought to fall on those of its:own citizens
who reproduce the libel, rather than on the foreigner
who wrote it exclusively for remote publication.
Finally, interference with the press, even in the case
of an existing insurrection, can be justified only on
the ground of public danger. I do not see any such
danger in the present case, even if one foreigner
does pervert our hospitality to shelter himself in
writing injurious publications against us for a foreign
press. A hundred other foreigners as intelligent,
as virtuous, and as respectable as he is are daily en-
rolling themselves in the army of the United States,
to defend and maintain the Union as the chief hope
of humanity in all countries and for all ages. Could
there be a better illustration of that great funda-
mental truth of our system, that error of opinion
may safely be tolerated when reason is left free to
combat it ? " WILLIAM H. SEWARD,"

The following important documents respecting
the seizure of property belonging to Southerners
had been published : _ _

"Washington, Sept. 21.
" Sir,—ln order to prevent seizures of property
belonging to citizens of insurrectionary States, not
warranted by the Acts of Congress relating to that
subject, it is thought advisable to,direct the special
attention of the Marshals and District Attorneys of
the United States to the provisions of these Acts :
" The sth section of the Act of July 13 provides
that all goods and chattels, wares and merchandise,
coming from or proceeding to a State or place de-
clared to be in insurrection, together with the ves-
sel or vehicle conveying the same, or conveying
persons to or from such State or place, shall be for-
feited to the United States. This section obviously
applies to all property in transit, or purchased, or
provided with a view to transit between loyal and
disloyal States, and especially to property forming
the subject of commercial intercourse. Such pro-
perty, wherever found, is liable to seizure, and the
only redress of parties who think themselves
aggrieved is by appeal to the Secretary of the Trea-
sury, who is invested by law with full power of
mitigation and remission.

" the first section of an Act, approved on the
6th of August, declares that if any person or per-
sons, his, her, or their agent, attorney, or employe,
shall purchase or acquire, sell or give any property,
of whatever kind or description, with intent to use
or employ the same, or suffer the same to be used
or employed in aiding or abetting or promoting
such insurrection, or any person or persons engaged
therein, or if any person or persons being the
owners of any such property shall knowingly use
or employ, or suffer the use or employment of the
same as aforesaid, all such property is hereby de-
clared to be lawful subject of prize and capture
wherever found.

" No doubt can be entertained that this section
was well considered, and that its operation was in-
tended to be limited to property used in further-
ance of the insurrection only. Seizures under the
Act of July 13 should be made by the officers or
under the direction of the officers of the Treasury
Department, and all District Attorneys and Mar-
shals of the United States should afford all practi-
cable counsel and aid in the execution of the law,
" Seizures under the Act of August 6 should be
made by the Marshal of the District in which such
property may be found, under the general or par-
ticular direction of the District Attorney, or other
superior authority.
" For such seizures there is such non-power of
mitigation or remission in the Secretary of the Trea-
sury; but the District Attorney or other superior
authority may direct the discontinuance of any pro-
ceeding in relation thereto, and the restoration of
the property seized.
" It will be seen, from an inspection of these pro-
visions of the Acts of Congress, that no property is
confiscated or subjected to forfeiture except such ar
is in transit or provided for transit to or from in-
surrectionary States, or used for the promotion of
the insurrection. Real estate, bonds, promissory
notes, moneys on deposit, and the like are therefore
not subject to seizure or confiscation in the absence
of evidence of such unlawful use.

"All officers, while vigilant in the presentation
of the conveyance of property to or from insurrec-
tionary States, or the use of it for insurrectionary,
purposes, are expected to be careful in avoiding un-
necessary vexation and cost by seizures not war-
ranted by law.
Wm. H. SEIVARD, Secretary of State."

The Government having accepted the military
services of the Count de Paris and the Duke de
Chartres, they had joined Gen. M'Clelland's staff.
The young Count de Penthievre, son of the Prince
de Joinville, would enter the United States' Naval
Academy. Major Bausenwein, late Aide-de•Camp
to Garibaldi, had been commissioned in the military
service. Prince Sahn Salm of Prussia had been
appointed Colonel of the Kentucky Cavalry.
Beyond a few reconnaisances, some slight skir-
mishes, and a couple of reviews, nothing of interest
had occurred on the Potomac.

Messrs. J. W. Wall, of Burlington, New Jersey;
G. L. Browne, of Cooperstown, New York; Pierce
Butler, of Philadelphia ; and ltoss Winans, of Bal-
timore, had been released from Fort Lafayette,
through the influence of friends. Their places in
the fort had been taken by ex-Governor More-
head, of Kentucky; H. E. Johnston, of Baltimore;
and John Bateman, a person who had arrived at
Portland from Liverpool and Quebec.
The Federal military authorities continued to re-
turn escaping slaves of loyal Marylanders, though
not a few made their way into the free States. On
the Virginian side the negroes had all long since
disappeared, but very few were within the Federal
lines.

crisis is undoubtedly approaching. The Confede-

the Federal lines in Kentucky, the neutrality pro-
clamation notwithstanding, and the long-threatened
attack on Cairo, may actually occur at an early
period. That Kentucky, as well as Missouri,' will
be the scene of a bitter civil war would seem to 'be
beyond chance. The reverses which the Federal
forces have sustained in Alissouri have produced a
very unfavourable impression in trade circles here,
