New YoRK, Nov. I5.-Ths World
Washington special sass it is understood
that Secretary Seward has prepared and
transmitted to the Brazilian government
letter wherein he tenders most ample
apology for the recent violation of the
neutrality law BY the Wachusett seizing
the Florida; while, at the same time, he
does not offer to return the captured yes.
sci 70 the port where she was seized.
His letter, it is hoped, will allay any
irritation which may be fel. at the con
duet Of the Federal officer.
The opinion at Washington is that
the seizure Of the Florida was a gross
violation Of The law Of nations, aud
strict PREPARATION would include the re-
turning Of the vessel, tks dismissal from
service Of Captain Collins, and the Con-
sUl at Bahia, together with 9 full apology
for the uujest6sble conduct Of the
United States.
Mr. Seward will endeavor 10 save our
national pride without such humiliation,
and at the same time satisfy the Bra
lillian Government that the act was not
