prospect OF Intervention sc. I! appears
from one Of tho many letters written By
Mr.! Dayton to Mr.. SeEard, and dated
ment informed M. Drouyn De LHuys
that an American vessel had been taken
by the Confederates as prize and sold to
an Englishman, and that after this she had
been re-tsken by one of our own ships and
that therefore Mr.. Seward had refused to
recognize the validity of the purchasers
letter, coming as it did through Confedsr-
ate sources. The English Government
thereupon resolved that it would not recog-
nize the rights OF the United States Gov
ernment to make prizes of Confederste
vessels, and submitted the proposition to
the French Government, with view to
adjust declaration to that effect. The
French minister made reply that he did
not know what course his government
would take in such an event, and he did
not wish 10 a..G;4ipate.
Secretary Seward in letter 10 mr. ns,,-
ton, said he was very thankful that the
French Government declined the PROPOSE
tion that the insurgents had never made a
lawful prize and never lawfully condemned
vessel, aud he has erred little IN saving
that under no circumstances was the Gov
ernment of the United States likely to
recognize any captured or any condemned
vessel they might mskeor procure.
In letter to Mr.. Dayton the Secretary of
State said he was authorized to approve of
his renewed remonstrsnces to the French
Government concerning the prosecution
of the work on the rams which were
being built in French ports, and the hospi-
talilies extended to the Florida and Rap
pahannock, and he added for ali the losses
and damages which the government and
and citizens sustained by the depredAtions
Of the vessels in question, the United
States, as they believed, justly held the
government OF ihe countries from which
they have proceeded responsible whenever
they have been duly forfeited, and have
omitted proper measures to prevent the
depredaiions of said hostile expeditions.
Mr.. Dayton, in letter dated March,
1864, informed Mr. Seward that NJ. Druyn
De RHayes assured him that France would
not take Texas as gift, even if it we're
accompanied with 3 handsome douceur
besides; that she does not want it, and
would not have it. a 7a
