 A large number of individuals in Eng. land who sympathised with the rebellion. were and still are connected with the London Times and other journals whose influence was against us during the struggle. They now have the audacity to hope the magnanimous govern. ment at Washington will feel bound to assume the rebel debt.' For their enlighte nment, it may be well to remind them of the attitude of our governmen: on the subject, as plainly set folth in the following official letter from Mr. Seward to MT. Adams :--
 ,..s.,... DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
 WASHINGTON, March l3, 1865.
 To CHARLES FRANCIS ADAxs, Esq, &e..
 Sw-An impression is understood to pre-. vail in Europe, especially among holders of the 'insurgent loan for which cotton was pledged as security, that in the event of the restoration of peace in this country this government will as sume the public debts of the insurgents, or certainly the particular debt referred to. It is believed, however that no impression could be more erroneous. There is no likelihood that any part of that debt will be assumed or recop- nized by the United States government. It is proper and advisable therefore, that by any proper means at your command you should authoritatively undeceive the public in Eng- land on this point. '.'''
 i am your obedient servant,
 WI H. SEWARD.
