from Liverpool Is, and Queenstown March lst, ar
rived this evening, bringing two days later news.
seward Dispatch, rejecting Napoleon's proposal,
has attracted general comment. The Times says,
Seward, II not preternaturally right, is compreheu-
sively wrong and after criticising and dissenting
from his views on affairs, says it is at least consistent
with all he has written from the commencement Of
the war; but, whether he is consistent with facts, the
Times would rather leave events to decide.
The Morning Post is very bitter, and looks upon
the letter as mere buncombe, but emauating from
the Washington Cabinet, il says il is truly incredible
that that body should be sunk so low as TO endorse
so much arrant falsehood and absurd nonsense.
The Star praises the dispatch, and thinks ii un-
answerable, and shows that henceforth not even the
mildest form of interference can have the least hope
-E~~-r~-~-
1t is stated that the Confederate loan was freely
taken IN the Continental market.
