SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

Congress with Recent Correspondence Be
tween the administration and Foreign
Powers.
New YORK, Sept 9, 1861.
To the Editor Of The Day Book -
1t may not be known to the public why Mr.. Lin
coin declined to furnish Congress with copies of the
correspondence between the State Department and
the powers of Europe According to Information
from a very credible source, | enabled to fur
nish explanation. You will remember that our
newly-appointed representatives to several OF the
foreign courts, Clay, Dayton, Burngame, Sanford,
and Others, held meeting in Paris not long since,
at which Clay and Burngame made remarkable
speeches, in which thev attempted to infame the
French mind against England. Mr.. Dayton also
spoke, but failing TO protest against the undpO-
matte expressions Of Burliugame and CLAY,
derst0od to tacitly endorse them. Now, it may
not be generally KNOWN but it is, nevertheless, a
fact, that shortly after, NJ. Thouvenel addressed
letters to Messrs. Clay and Burliogame, pungently
and pointedly eprebending their impertinence in
endeav0ring to fOment a hostile feeling between
France and her "near and cherished ally" copies
OF which letters sent to government at
Washington. The British Secretary of the Foreign
Office procured authentic copies of the speeches as
they appeared in Galignani's Messenger, and, en-
closing them in letter to Mr. Seward, asked il the
government of the United States endorsed these
expressions of its accredited agents. When Mr..
Clay reached st. Petersburg, he was waited upon,
shortly after his final reception by the Emperor by
the proper officer of State, who, in the of
Clay would not embarrass the Russian Government
with any such speeches as that which he delivered
in Paris.
These facts serve to show why Mr.. Lincoln de-
cined to make public the correspondence asked for
by Congress. When, in the future, this CORES
pondence shall be published it will be that the
facts as | have stated, except, perhaps, that
have not made them strong as they really are.
1t is matter of astonishment among the more
shrewd of the men that Mr.. Seward should
have made public the late letter of the Ru ssian
Emperor on our unfortunate affairs. 1t is very
strong "peace" document, and clear endorsement
of the position well maintained by the New York
Day BooE and NetCs. ONTARIO.
