When the rebels found themselves in full

ST. PE7xnsBrna, June (alay aa,) 1868.
SIR: hare not failed to place before the
Emperor, my august master, the dispatch that
yen communicated to me, BY order Of your
Government, aud which contains the reply Of
Mr.. Seward to Mr.. Dayton, relative to the
communication recently made by the French
Government to the Federal Government on
tic subject Of events In Poland.
His Majesty, the Emperor, has lively ap-
probation of the sentiments Of confidence
that the Government Of the United States
possesses in his views and intentions for the
t!cncc our august master believes he has ner-
tied, and 1t Is necessary to him In order tha:
he may complete what he has begun. It is
to his M1jeety cause Of sincere salts
faction to sec that his persevering ef
forts to direct, with order and with
ont disturbance eTcsy part Of his empire,
rs Rag by ths s
OF a nation towards which His Majesty and
the Russian people profess the most friendly
dispositions. Such proofs cannot but render
htlil more close the bonds Of mutual symPa-
tby which unite the two countries; and this
is d result which corresponds too well with
the wishes Of tue Emperor for His Majesty
not to view 1t with pleasure.
His Majesty has, in an e1ual degree. appre-
cfated the frmne:s with which the Govern
mcnt ofthe United States maintains the prin-
cjple Of non interFention-a principle OF
which the meaning is, at the present time,
but too often misinterpreted; and also the
good faith with which the United States Gov.
crnment refuses to infringe, with respect to
other States, rule, the violation Of which
that Government would not permit in Its own
case.
The Federal Government gives In this an
example Of good faith and political probity
witch cannot but increase the esteem that
our august master bears towards the Ameri,
can nation.
Be so good, sir, as to transmit to Mr. Sew:
ard the Expression Of these sentiments Of Ills
Imperial Majesty, and receive, &c.

The London Times thinks that when the
French Emperor has settled the case Of Mex

America, on very different terms from those

the Job. As for them, they arc doing quite
well with their new fashioned neutrality,
and are destroying our commerce without ex-
