M&. tJKWAKD'd LETTER-PREtlRUKi FOR TBE
9T0&M
from all quarter* wo have rewired intelligence of
tha **i>“uileo and«*cileu»iit produced by Mr. Seward a
circular letter to the Ooveraora of the Iryal Bates on
the anaboard and lake. It waa prepared on Monday,
and on Mfednuday It wae telegraphed aimuluneeualy to
tbe loyal prse* of tbe North, On Its appearance here
yesterday W.U street was thrown Into terrible commo-
iioo; Federal stocks went down two and a half to three
per cent, tbe bears were in high glee, aod the bulls ut-
tered curses deep, if not loud, against the anthor. It
wjt urged, in condemnation of the polloy o! tbe letter
Bret, that them waa no neoeeaity for the feriMoatloea re-
commended; »eco> d r, il there was, that the beet way to
accomplish the object was by means of prirate Utters to
Ur* governors, woiob would not create alarm.
Wbat weight there » In these objections we shell
shortly see. Meantime let ns enquire how It U that this
letter has produced such remarkable- tffrcts. It is be-
csio-e the public miod was in a loverish state, snaoepti-
ble of excitement. The news comes as upon the vrry
beel< of the announotinent that the steamer Nashville
had effected her ercipe through the blockading fl tel at
Charles on, urd was on her any to Kuropj, ha'icg on
board, ex-Scna.or Slidell, aa Minister to Fiance, aod ex-
vmttir Uasoo, aa Mims!*.- to Eugliud from tbe Con-
f derate Govt r.iment—two wily diplomatists, well ad.pt-
ed for ibe mission oa which they have been sent. Tr,e
moral effect, indeed, of a Confederate vetael of-war on-
vetiDg these plcnipotentia-ies to Europe, in the esth of
a blockading tquadron, will necessarily be verj great, far
nisbing a* il does powerful evidence to demonstrate the
n ffldet cv and consequent invalidity of the blockade.
To nhinte that effect, die is probably tbe bearer of the
or-ws of the defeat of tn# Federal iqaadron In the Mis-
sissippi for tbe action lock place on Friday. Tbe Ntabvill'e sailed the same night, and could have had the
news by telegraph. But In order to make assurance
doubly sure, and that the Intelligence might be trans-
mitted at the tame lime f y the regular mall* to Europ >,
so as to reach there about the same time as the Nash-
ville, the military authorities at Norfolk made some ex-
ouso for sending a flag of true J to Fortress Monroe, in or-
d, -o have a local p .pjroiitaluiug tbe dispatch of Capt.
ill nine, forwarded to Biltimore, whence It iHund lis
w iv to New Ytnk. It is worthy of remark that, on the
o,-riai m of the Federal victory at Ohloarnecomioo, the
Norfo k Confederates aearcht-d all pan anger*, and would
not perm t a newspaper to come North. But ahether
founded In troth or not, the report of the natal engage-
ment at N-w Orlewni has prodeosd a temporary ffa -t
hcie, and ia likely to do tbe same In Europe. Connected |
in the public mird with the news is the Hnnonnocment
that just before tbe^a.liug of the Nashville, two mem-
bers of the British Parliament were at Rchmot.d, in
dip'.oraaro ccm.nuucat.oQ sitli Jilfrtitiu Davis. Due cf
these gentlemen deulea too o.iatge, but admits he ctr
ried open letters, which only Serve* >o strengthen the
litst iuipreesloii lu regard to his Tisit to the Uoni'sde-
r»te Capital.
The ruwnt declarations of British journals and s'stes-
roen in farorof a permanent division of the United
Sates into two oontedcraniea, corroborate this view oi
ibe mis ion of Sir J tmeu Fergusor And in thn news
by the Glasgow, which wr published yesterday, It was
t .ted that Mr Lmdsav, M. P, at a public meeting in
ot p-cc-iriug a pre«eut r apply of cotton e'tewbcro that
iu me Southern Stales, ”he comJdeied it the duty of the
Hri ish Cabinet to endeavor to induce the Federal ibv-
eminent, in the cause of humanity, to riruove the block-
ade CotiiH.'* ring tho bold stand made by the Confede-
rates, and the strength of the South, he thought it almost
time that the governments ot Ei-1 tnd and Franco
thought of recapturing the independence of so numerous
a body of people,"
It u in consequence of these fac* < and tho »arlike
preparations ol England iu aend.rg a lirge cavsl iorcc
to cur seaboard and continual rointorceiueuta to Canada,
Hl the aatne time that n.,r anna have doDe little or
nothing to redeem the defeat at Manassas, but ou the
contrary have sulFered lurther revtr »* in Missouri, that
thu public mind became affected and «as just iu a con-
dition to be evltcd by the letter of Mr. Seward; and it
is under three ilrcunutaueea tha' Mr. Howard calls upon
ti e (lovemora of tt e loyal Stales to tafce me icnreowo tor-
I tlfy the Northern frontier and every vulnerable point on I our co&jt Jh'ow we think this i« acund advice, and that
I the State GoverniuC.pt eannot set about it a moment too
.non. is tho language pf Mr. Seward, One of the
| .nst obvious pretautioua to that o.r porta aod harbors ! on the seta «id bites should be p it iu a condition ol

ririlv incur dang.r in teinpegtaoaa a asona when it faiia

The following are the comments ol the Washington

I 8 ward’s circular, which r* take trom that paper ol the
