 Tine Correspondence Between Secretary
 Frelinghuysen and Minister Lowell.
 WASHINGTON, May 22.-A message was sent to the House to day conveying further corre- spondence between the State department and the British government relative to American citizens in British prisons. The documents are very voluminous and contain much that has been already published. The most inn portant however, are the letters passing be- tween Secretary Frelinghuysen and Minister Lowell during the past few months. MT. Lowell writes that on April 25th in consul tation with Mr. Forster, he assented to a Sy1coaStiOn that American G0Ennntg inn prisoned should be offered their liberty on condition that they would return home.

Frelinghuysen and 1 Mir. Lowell From these it is learned that | all except O'Mahoney had refused to accept l the terms of release by which they were to return to the United States, and that he was still undecided The communication also conveys copies of long instructions from Mr. 1 F Frelinghuysen to MT. Lowell, in which he l says that in the of American citizens who have been for a long time absent from the country and who are holding office office ! in the country of their nativity, this country ] can only be demanded that the same laws be applied to them which Great Britain applies to her own subjects; but where American l citizens who are such in the full sense of the | word are arrested and held without trial this 1 government must do as Great Britain did re- garding her subjects during the late war in | the United States-demand their trial or re- '
