Il IN we'll known that Admiral Eoo!e was IN tho
hsb. of receiving letters from the second King OF
Siam, with whom he became acquainted when IN
command OF our fleet in the Kings waters. TIE
letters are autograph, sad evince much intelligence,
especially with regard TO our affairs. Tnis 10 apps
rent in the letter which able to present To-
day. Considering It's date, we may be surprised q
the clear appreciation which it shows OF the resa'
tions Of Slavery to the war. The King does MOI
hesitate to speak Of the forces Of the enemy =
" Rebel forces;" and he earnestly wishes success
to the United States Government, and the complete
suppression of the reckless Rebellion" Then again,
mark how clearly he eees the fatal consequences d
failure to deal with Slavery. "If Slavery" b
says "reman unimpsred, you will be exposed 70
all the perplexing difficulties Of the past" lie thea
declares himself for "the complete annhiauon d
Slavery"
Ii is interesting to read such generous words q
sympathy from q foreign sovereign. No sucb word
have como from England or France; but then they
are civilized.
