NEW YORK, April l4.-lN ne I1ofLuduu ar
rived at noon, with dates from London to
March 29th Political intelligence is of i'm
portance. The Cabinet couriers, dispatched
with the uItimatum of France and England
TO the Emperor of Russia, have returned to
London with the official announcement
that no reply would be made to the Joint
demand of the two Powers. In consequence
of this the Queen sent message to both
houses of Parliament, on the 9th, announ-
cling the failure of all negotiations carried
on with Russia, and the consequent neces.
Sity of adopting other measures to enforce a
compliance. The message concluded with
the declaration that the Queen relied on the
bravery of her army and navy under the
emergency. The message was to be taken
into consideration on the 3lst ult., and a
reply of both houses of Parliament will be
voted in answer In the meantime, an Off
cial declaration of war appears in the Lon
don Gazette of the 28th, and in all the Lon
don papers by the Hermann.
The following proclamation by the Queen
followed the official declaration of War and
is of great interest: "Her Majesty. the
Queen of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, having been compelled
to take action in support of an ally, is desi-
rous Of rendering the war as little onerous
as possible TO the powers with whom she
remains at peace; to protect the commerce
of neutral powers from all unnecessary abb
straction, Her Majesty is willing for the
present to waive part of the belligerent
rights appertaining to her by laws of all
nations. 1t is impossible for Her Ma iesty
to forego her right of seizing articles contra
band of war and preventing neutrals from
bearing dispatches, and she must maintain
the right of belligerent in preventing neu'
trails from breaking any effective blockade
which may be established with an adequate
force against the enemy. But Her Majesty
will not have the right Of seizing enemy,s
property on board neutral vessals unless il
be ntraband of war; 1t is not Her Mae
tvs intention to claim the confScation OF
neutral property not being contraband Of
war found on board enemys ship. And
Her Majesty further declares that she is anx
ious to lessen the evil of war and to res src
it's operations to the regular organized force;
of the country. 1t is not her present inten
tion to issue letters of marque for the com
mission of privateers.'
