SEWARD AVERTED WAR.
Sir Il. j. MonsOn Says American
Statesman Prevented Clash
with Britain.

Sir Edmund j. Monson, the British
ambassador at Paris, takes exception
to Naval Lieutenant j. S. Trotter's
ascribing the happy escape of Great
Britain from war with the United
States in the Slidell-Mason affair as
due to Admiral Mines influence on
William II. Seward (then secretary of
state under President Lincoln). The
British ambassador, who was at that
time an attache of the British lega-
tion at Washington, writes to the
Spectator: THE happy result of the
negotiation was principally due to Mr..
Seward, who was almost alone in the
American cabinet in seeing that It
was not only good policy, but con-
sistent with the principles always
held by the United States, to concede
the demand of Great Britain. At this
distance of time it can do no harm
for me to state that that demand, as
formulated by Lord RUSSELL was de-
livered TO Mr.. Seward by me, private
ly, Lord Lyons having charged me,
after his first interview with Mr.. Sew
ard, TO go at once to the state de-
partment and place copy of Lord
Russell's dispatch in the hand of the
secretary of state for his official pc
rusal."
