OUR RELATIONS ABROAD.
The diplomatic correspondence which

Mr.. Adams, in letter to Minister
s ward, November Is, 1862, having just
returned from conference with Earl
Russell un the subject of the proposed
Convention Of European Powers in relu-
ton TO American uil'airs, says it was
" friendly and satisfactory" and adds
" IL is u lttle remarkable thot bot in
England aud France the tendency of
public opinion is gradually to fall into
the old channel of party divisions. The
advocates of strong power side with the
rebels, while the more liberal aud popu.
lar party befriend the cause OF the Gov
ernmenl. This is becoming more and
more visible as the struggle goes on
Efforts Jre now making here, with good
prospect Of success, Tor a more effective
organization OF the anti-slavcry senti-
ment in our behalf"
Secretary Seward, in a dispatch to
Minister Adams, November 80, 1862,
says:
"The great question heretofore has
been: Can the Constitution and Union
endure through the trial -! There is no
longer any ground for dependency on
that point. Whom we compare the mill
tary and naval conditions of the country
row with Whist they were, when we
compare the condition Of our foreign re-
la,ions now existing with that which pre-
vailed when Congress assembled year
ego, we see evidences of strength, pow
er and stability, which then il would have
seemed presumptuous to expect"
Mr.. Seward to Minister Adams, Dec.
8, 1862, says:
The President is Of the opinion that
the dignity Of the county aud the inter-
ests OF peace concur in requiring for.
bearance on the part OF the Govern
ment from discussing the motives, OBJ
jects, and legitimate tendency of the late
movement of France, in regard to our
national affairs. may, perhaps, without
departing from this course, inform you
that the popular judgment in this coun-
try is unanimous in ascrlbihg that pro-
ceeding to designs, on the part of the
EMPEROR "hlch are not only hostlle,
Dut aggressive. Inc P'esldent does

After further discussing the question:
the Secretary says ID CONCLUSION 'The
whole case may be summed up thus
The United States CLAIM that IN th's
war they are whole, sovereign nation
and entitled TO The same respect as such
that they accord TO Great britaln'-
Great Britain does NOT treat them as
such sovereign ana hence all the evils
