WASHINGTON, September 22.-The Secre-
tary of State, in reply to memorials asking
the attention Of the Government to what
they call reasonable matter in Russell
letter of August 10, to the London Times
says it has been the habit of this Government
10 take no notice Of representations how
ever obnoxious, by the press of foreign
nations.
The Government of the United States does
not depend on the good will or favor of
foreign nations, but upon the Just support of
the American people-that it seems to him
that censure ought to fall upon those papers
which reproduce these articles in this
country rather than on the foreigner who
wrote the articles for remote publication,
and, finally, that interference with the press
even in case of existing insurrection can
only be justified on grounds of public
danger.
This Government has only recognized, as
worthy Of observation, the language and
actions of the executive organs of foreign
States; andsays the publication complained
OF bad not arrested the attention of himself
or any member of the Administration, and
these representations stand upon the indi-
vidual authority of the person making them.
The Secretary of State has issued a circu-
lar IN order TO prevent seizures of property
belonging to citizens of insurrectionary
States not warranted by acts of Congress
relating to that subject, and directs the
special attention of the United States Mar
shals to the provisions of those acts.
FRANKFORT, September 22.-The proceed
ings OF the Legislature are unimportant,
