ONE of the meanest acts of the
Administration, is the insult lately
offered to Mr.. MORLEY, our Minister
at Vienna, through the Secretary of
State. Some low-bred American,
having enjoyed the Inequalities of the
Minister, wrote Mr., SEWARD letter,
giving whist he claims to be the con-
versation which occurred at his table
The Secretary of State sent a copy of
the letter to Mr.. MOTLEY de-
handing an explanation, who denies
all the essential allegations; but he
was a gentleman of too much self-re-
spect and good breeding, to submit to
the Insult of the Secretary, and there
fore rendered his resignation. That
was just what the President desired,
as it provided a good place for
CowAN, who had just been rejected
by the people of his State for his
treachery to the party.

accom- panied by threat that unless the money
was forthcoming. the presidents, trustees and

in trust tor ali the depositors, but although
