2lst ult., and went to Paris the next day.
During his brief stay in London, as The Tablet
informs US, he visited several influential per-
.sonages. The same journal adds tina. the pur-
pose of bis visit to Europe is not known. We
learn, however, upon very good authority, that
the country TO which Mr.. Seward has really
given him secret mission is Spain. There, it
is presumed, and apparently not without reason,
that he viii be able TO exercise a considerable
influence over men in power, which can hardly
be the case in France or England.
