In q letter from Mr.. Seward to Smith O'Brisn,
in response 30 the lstter's recently profsred
advice, Mr.. Seward urges Mr.. O'Briea, if he
would promote the cause Of America, Of Great
Britain, and Of humanity at large, to speak aad
act in every case and without qualification for
the American Union. Mr.. Stewards tone is
highly patriotic for the Union, and friendly to-
wards the European powers, in regard TO whom
he is determined to stand always, not only in the
right, but upon the defensive.
George Thompson has been lec1Uring again at
Manchester on American affairs. His remarks
were mainly in response to q late speech Of Nr.
Massey, at Stafford, whose statements he branded
- absolutely false, and q grieYous injustice to
the North. The lecturer said the breaking Of
the blockade would be q wicked and = fendish
act, and no greater crime could be committed
against any country. He had faith, however, in
the neutral policy of Earl Russell.
The Times, IN an editorial on M. Summers
speech, protests against any suggestion that
England had budged one step from her former
position with respect to her rights, either neutral
or oellgerent. What she agreed to at the Con
gress OF Paris she viii stand by, and wha. she
had before, limited only by those concessions,
she has still. The case Of the Trent has made
no new phase whatever.
Th Londsn Times, in another editorial. saws.
We need not be eager to NEEDLE with Ameri-
c:n affairs. This is the time for waiting, and we
can afford to wait quite as easily a. the North
and South can afford to look across the Potomac,
at a cost of two millions pounds : week, each of
them. If there does come any real cause of COM
plant, it will tell all the more for our present
patience and forbearance."
Atslegram of the 22d, from Algiers, saws. "on
Monday a prolonged c~anuonsdfng was heard
here, proceeding apparently from q distance Of
about six miles from shore. A vessel was sight
ed this morning which is supposed TO be the
Sumter. 1t is supposed chat she sunk her ad-
versary." The above is considered doubtful. as
an Algisrs telegram Of the 24th saws the Sumter
has been seen in Genoese waters, a few Leagues
of the port Of Genoa.
The Gibraltar Chronicle says the United States
Consul at Cadiz protested against the assistance
given the Sumter at that port. The authorities,
however, considered themselves bound to afford
such aid as WAS indispensable. The Sumter
having sprung a leak near the screw, she was
therefore permitted to effect necessary repairs in
the arsenal.
More fears were realized relative to the acci-
dent at the Hartley coal mines. Mob, one Of the
buried miners, was found alive.

PRUssA-A rupture was anticipated be-
tween the PUssiAn government and the Arch
bishop Of Possn, who, in a letter to the minister
of public worship, defends the national attitude
assumed by his counrymen.
The latest French papers conclude from the
attitude Ct the English press that tie Trent az
FAIR YVES only a PCstext for war, and that Eng
land wants to force the blockade OF the southern
ports.
The Paris Temps, replying to an assertion of
the blockade being Ineffective, recalls tho fact
that Russian vessels ran the Blockade of the
Baltic, in 1854, as now happens at Charleston.

Pspers for their hidden southern sympathy, and
