The United States War-steamcr De

terday morning direct from the City of
Washington, where she left on the morn
ing Of The LIST instant. 1t is with much
satisfaction we announce that she has
on board, the Honorable WILLIAM II,
SEWARD, Secretary OF The State Depart
mcnt Of the United States and Mr.. FIRE.
Derrick SEWARD, Uuder Secretary, with
Two ladies. The Honorable aud yenera-
ted Statesman and family visited our
shore yesterday forenoon, and on leaving
for ship, made known, through the Amr-
rican Consul, that he would at three
O'Clock, be willing to receive ON board
any gentlemen who might be DESTROYS of
an interview with him. lii accordance
with this lntlmatIon many gentlemen, and
most especially the greater part Of the
C0Usuls accredited here, avaiIed them
selves OF the rare opportunity of forming
the acquaintance of 50 distinguished a
parsonage. His ExceIIency the Vice
Governor, also going Oh board and re-
geiyed a salute to which Fort Christian
replied. The satisfaction experienced at
the reception given to those who went
on UOdIu we DtIlcRc, Is unanimous ana
the pIeasurabIe feelings which this. occa-
sion has brought forth, will remain indie
libby impressed on the minds of all who
participated therein. 1t would read as
stereotype were we to attempt to allude
to the courteous, affable generous and
frank manner, of this exalted Statesman,
since enough Of that is known, to make
it needless on our part. Mr.. SEWARD
purportS to be here forty-eight hours
from the time of his arrival, and it is our
most sincere wish that he may during
that term find enough on our little Isl
and TO interest and amuse. From all we
can learn the visit of Mr.. SEWARD and
family to the West Indies is one purely
of recreation, and we trust and hope it
may prove amply so TO them. From
hence we believe the De Soto proceeds
to Santo Domingo.
