From tl.s NoRgH Austrian.

The following extract OF Z letter. from gen
teman at Washington to the editor, IS a
faithful picture of the present political cri-
sis. We recommend to our readers to give
( it an attentive perusa, and on account OF the
means OF information aud luminous obser-
walton. of the writer, to consider 1t as an
epitome of the politics that actuate and
control tie cabinet of Washington.
Iss-ashingfon, 2ad FEB, 1893.
a-Eor some days total stop has been put
to tae negotiations betweent the executive ana
Mr.. Rose. The ind;sposition of Mr.. Mati-
son had delayed tie final cessation. The
British packet and the American advice-boat
have at length orders TO sail; and the mes,
sengers were. ses.t OF on Saturday morning,
to carry the dis patches Tor these several vas-
sells. The British packet viii sail with those
of the minister to Lis government, and the
Usage, with those Of our government to
France.
It vas not until Friday evening. that Mr..
Rose surrendered the hope Of making an
accommodation with our executive. Every
thing that honor, and justice could demand,
has been offered. An appeal was made to the
common interest of the two countries a COM
mon danger was represented to threaten both
that alike in the possession of "a FREE
government, the same fats would attend both;
that the downfall of the supremacy OF Ing
land on the ocean, would only be the prelude
to the subiugation of America; that England
might remain free and maintain her own IN
dependence. waen America was overwhelmed
by a confidence in her own security. Our
government, has taken high ground, and re-
cedes not an inch. The spirit of accommo-
dation exists only on the. side of the British,
and on ours temper is manifested that tor
bids even Humiliation to hote. Nothing but
the destruction Of the mistress OF the ocean
seems to be. able to appease the lnfiexlbie
pride Of the cabinet of Washington. In the
RANGER Of ther personal enlpity. they would
first degrade Great Britain and then suffer
her to be destroyed, although we follow her
destinies pand find our o"n siestr3ctlon, In

British, that suspension OF the operation OF
the proclamation should be. made, whilst. the
negotiation was. pending: that as the procia-

Another point made by our executive, was

NORFOLK, MARCH Ia.
WHILE the distressed citizens Of Nor
folk we're occupied in deyising means
for the relief a the seaBen already out
Of employ, it was with grief that they
understood that upwards Of one hundred
and tzventy men, discharged from the
gun.boats on Saturday are to be added
to the number Of unfortunate for whom
some provision must be made.
We were never more astonished,
than when we understood that the gov
eminent had ordered these men TO be
discharged At time when it must have
been known that they would be left
without the means of subsistence-to
enlarge upon the cruelty of fuch a
measure, would be to insult every feel
ing and generous heart-but We must
remark, that this measure proceeds
from men who if you would believe
them, are ready to expend the last dol
lar, and TO shed their last drop of blood
in support oftheir "injufed seafaring
fellow citizens" And yet they can We
ry philosophically deprive their dear
fellow citizens Of the means of subsist-
ence, and leave them to perish or de-
pend on the bounty of a community al
ready bowed down by their own suffer
ings. In a political view this measure
is not less absurd than it is cruel in
moral sense. With the recollection Of
this transaction, can country govern
ed BY men with such feelings, expect
defenders in the hour of danger and diff
hculty the remembrance must chill
the warmth Of patriotism, and damp
the ardor OF courage.
