who Was at one time clerk in the Department
OF state, did, In book written by him, and
called a " Diary from March, 1861, to November
eG2,' use the following language:
Yesterday N - dined with Lord Lyons,
ana during the dinner an anonymous note an
nounced TO the Lord that the proclamation OF
the blockade Is to be issued on Tomorrow
n, who has romantic turn, or rather who
seeks Tor midi IAN heuys, specialized what
Fiat"
II rather think 1t comes from the Ministry,
or, as they call It here, tho department. About
two years ago, when the Central Americans
were so leased and maltreated by the flibustsrs
and democratic administration, Minister OF
one OF these Central American States told me-
In New York, that in 3 chief Of the Depart.
ments, or something the like, the Central Amer.
ica.s have valuable friend, whs any time tn at
trouble is brewing against them in the Depart
nent, gives them secret and anonymous notice
OF u. This friend may have transferred his
KINDNESS to England"
In another part Of the book other alleged
Dbellous language IL used, as follows:
"This chief clerk made Mr.. Seward make IN
pas de clerc and this at the start. As Lord
Lyons took great interest In the solution of
the question OF blockade, and as the chief clerk
was the orocuium In this Question, these com
bined facts may give some clue to the anon.
ymous advice sent to Lord Lyons and men,
TONED in the month Of April"
Mr.. Hunter was then, and Is now, the Chief
Clerk OF the State Department, aud the tndict-
ment alleges that the said Adam euro wski did
write the language above quoted for the pur-
pose OF inducing the belief that the said Chief
Clerk violated the confidence rsposed in him
