SEWARD.

Secretary Seward at Auburn, yesterday, elicired
his opinion on the Washington treaty. He con-
sderS thata great omission exists in the present
treaty, inaSmuch as it does not insist upon an
apology for England for the queens procama-
ton, but that war with England is impossible,
and that the time for the settlement of the Ala
Dama claims has not yet arrived. The demand
for sum OF money for consequential damages
is, in his opinion, beneath the dignity Of our
government
