wss anxious that before lie vent
home he should be made a parta ker
Of the hospitality Of the White House
and to thar end suggested II State
dinner by tho President. This was
agreed to; and, had Mr.. Seward been
ss wise in domestic as he is Suppo sed
to be IN national affairs, he would
have mado4no further snggesti0Gs.--
But he rashiy wcnt to Mrs. Lincoln,
aud commeDced to tell her how the
fast ought to DC prepared. The un.
fortunate Prime Minister had not
proceeded very lar with his instruc
lions when he was met with rebuff
like THE, Mr.. Seward, when | want
to ccnsaIt you on such subject as
this, will send Tor YOU" The best
eyldence that Mr. Gnward'S advice is
not deemed Indispensable on such
matters is. that, from that day to this
