Of The lssh of April last, aeA cssaaiss repest a

said that DO had 10 information on The subject.
The matter 10 u no great moment, yet It 10 de-
sirabc that there b no misrepresentation Of the
true state Of the Government In the preseut emer-
gency. You may, therefore, recall that converse
ton to Thouvenels memory, and then assure him
explicitly that there 10 no difference whatever be-

ers, or among those advisers themselves, concern
ing the policy that has been pursued, and which

TO the unhappy disturbances existing In the cOun-
try. The path Of executive duty has, thus far,
been too plainly marked out by stern necessity to
gcncy and the responsibility Il involves have ex.
tinguished in the public councils every emotion
but those Of loyalty and patriotism. Il 10 not in
the hands Of this Administration that this govern
ment is to come to an end at all, much less for
want Of harmony in devotion to the country. N.
Thouvenels declaration that the United States
may rest we'll assured that NO hasty or precpitatc
action will be taken on the subject Of the apprc-
hendcd application Of the nsurrectionists for rec
ognition Of the independence Of the socalled Con-
fedcratc States, 10 entirely satisfactory, although
it was attended BY reservation Of views concern
ing general principles applicable to cases that
need not now be discussed.
In tho unofficial conversation, Mr.. Faulkner says
that he himself expressed the opinion that force
would not be resorted to, to cOerce the so-callcd
seeding States into submission to the Federal
thorty, and that the only solution of the difficult
ties would be found In such notifications Of the
constitutional compact a. would invite the seced-
ing States back into the Union, or peaceablc ac-
quiescence in the assertion of their claim to sep
aratc sovereignty The time when these questions
had pertincncy or plausibilty has passed away.
The United States waited patiently, while their

insidious preparations, willing to hope that mcdita
ton, offered all sides, would conciliate and in
ducc the disadected parties to return 10 better
mind But the case 10 now altogether changed.
The insurgents have instituted revolution with
open, fragrant, deadly war, to compel the United
States to acquicscc in the dismcmherment Of the
Union. The constitutional remedies for oil the
complaints Of the insurgents are still open to
them, and will remain SO. But, ON the other
hand the land and naval forces Of the Union have
been put into activity, to restore the Federal
minority and to save the Union from danger.

lam, sir, respectfully, your ohedient servant,
The above despatch very plainly fore
shadows the policy and intentions of
our National Administration. Ofcourse
similar letters have been sent to our
Ministers at the other European Courts.
The United States were in peaceablc
and authorized possession of their forts
and arsenals on our Southern frontier
this was the period for compromise
but the insurgents, by the violent and
insurrcctionary conduct threw away
the olive branch, trampled the emblem
of our country's honor in the dust, and
thus left the path of executive duty too
plainly marked out by stern necessity
to be mistaken. No compromise can
now be made, until al the public prop |

cessionists il fully restored. We APP
