dressed by to the Hon w. Fl. Seward Secre-
tary of State of the United States, that contain an
explanation of the nature and result of an nterven-
tiOn by in the intercourse of the Com mmissiOners
Of the Confederate States with that officer | con-
sidered that could perform no duty in which the
entire American people, whether of the Federal
Union of the Confederate States were more in
terested than that of promoting the counsels and
the policy that had for their object the preservation
Of peace. This motive dictated my intervention.
Besides the interview referred to in these letters
informed the assistant Secretary of State Of the
United States INT being able to see the Secretary
on the llth of April, ut, of the existence of des-
patch of that date from General Beauregard to the
Commissioners, in which he informed the Columis-
snners that he had demanded the evacuation of
Sumter, and if refused, be would proceed to reduce
it.
On the same day had been told that President
Lucoln had said that none of the vessels sent to
Charleston were war vessels, and that force was
not to be used in the attempt to supply the fort
L had means of testing the accuracy of this in
formation: but offered that if the information
accurate | would send despatch to the authori-
ties at Charleston, and it might prevent the disas-
trOus consequences Of a collision at that fort be-
tween the opposing forces. 1t was the last effort
would make to avert the calamities of war. The
Assistant Secretary promised to give the matter
attention, but had no other interview with him or
any other person the subject, nor have had &ny
reply to the letters submitted to you.
Very respectfully,
