Cassius M. CLAY.


The London Economist speaking Of the late

Russia, says it ia % very model of feeble reas-
oning and questionable taste. That is the &c.
cepted opinion here among sensible men. The
Cincinnati Pysss says sissii1 90 lia b 3
eve can hardly believe that he was com.
missioned by the Government to proclaim to the
world that the Administration Of Mr.. Lincoln
proposes to subjugate tho seeded States; or that
Il really desires 70 be placed before the world in
that light His official character gives to his
productions an Importance 70 which otherwise
they would lave no title, and 1t is easy to i'm
agine difficulties that may grow out Of his habit
of loose writing, and his greed Of notoriesy,
which will render it advisable for the Govern
ment to dispense with his services and disavow
his declarations.

from Canada, CLAY from Russia. and We ma!

his Foreign ministers with special reference t
their extreme abolition sentiments
