but at last a genleman sad, | guess ylill remain here a considerable time before y\u2019ill get any cne to come for that bag of yours,\u201d und taking the hunt, I just got ofl in time to stumble into a long box on wheels, with a double raw of most uncomfortabie seals, and a passage down the middle, where 1 found a place beside Mr.Sandford, the newly-appoint- ed United States Minister tv Belgium, who was kind enough to lake me under his charge to Washington, The night was closing in very fast as the train started, but such glimpres as | had of the continuous line of prelty-looking villages of wooden houses, two stories high, painted white, each with its Corinthian portico, gave a most favourable impression of the comfort und prospeniy of the people.\u2018The rail passed throngh 1lie mam street of most of the hamlets and viliages, and the bell of the engiue was tolled 1o warn the inhabitants, who drew up a the side walks and let us go by, Soon the white houses faded away mto faint blurred marks on the black ground of the landscape, twinkied with starlike lights, and there was nothing more 10 see.The passengers were crowded as close as they could pack, and as there wis an immense on stove 1u the centre of the car, the heat and stufliness became mos! trying, although I had bern undergoing the vrdeal of the stove-heated New York houses fornearly a week.Once a minute, at least, the door at either end of the carriage was opened, aud then closed with a sharp crashing noise, that jarred the nerves, and effectually prevented sleep, [It generally was done by a mun whose sole object seemed to be to walk up the centre of the carriage In order to go out of the npposite door\u2014oecasionally it Was the work of tho newspaper boy, with a sheaf of journals and trashy illustrated papers under his arm.Now and then it was the conductor; but the periodical visitor was a young gentleman with a chain and rings.who bore a tray before him, ana solicsied orders for ¢ gum drops, »?and ¢ lemon diopg,\u201d which, with tobacco, apples, and cakes, were cousumed in great quantities by the passengers.Ai 10 o'clock, P.M., we crossed the river by a ferry boat to Philadelphia, and drove through the streets, stoppin lor supper a few moments at the La Pierre Hotel.To judge from the vast extent of the streets, of small, low, ye! snug-iooking houses, through which we passed, Philadelphia must contain in comfuit the largest number of small house- holters of any city tu the world.At the other terminus of 1he rail, to which we drove in a carriage, we procured for a small sum, a dollar [ think, beribs in a sleeping car, an American institution of considerable merit.Unfortunutely a party of prize- fighters had a mind to make themselves cownforiable, and the result was anything but conducive to sleep.They had plenty ol whiskey, and were full of song and fight, nor was it possible to escape their urgent solicitations ¢ to lake n drink,\u201d by feigning the soundest sleep.One | of these, a big man, with a bioken nose, o mellow eye, and a very large display of rings, jewels, chains, and pins, was in very high spirits, and informed us he was ¢ Going to Washington to get a foreign mission from Bill Seward.He wouldn\u2019t take Paris, as he didn\u2019t care much abont French or Frenchmen; but he! just like to show Jolin Bull how to do it; or he\u2019d take Japan if they were very pressing.\u201d Another told us he was \u201c Guing to the bosom of Uncle Abe\u2019 (meaning the President)\u2014< that he kuew him well in Kentucky years ago, and a high toned gentleman he was, > Any attempts to persuade them tu retire to rest made by the conductors were treated with sovereign contempt, bul at last whiskey asserted its supremacy, and having established the point that they ¢ would not sleep unless they-\u2014\u2014pieased,\u2019\u2019 they slept and snored.Ateix, A.M., we were roused up by the arrival of the train at Washington, having cronsed great rivers and traversed cities without knewing 11 donng the might, I looked out and saw a vast mass of white marble towering above us ou the left, stretching out in colonnaded purticoes, and long flanks of windowed masonry, and surmounted by en unfinished cupo'n, from which scaflold and cranes raised their black arme.This was the Capitol.To the right was a cleured space of mud, sand, and helds studded with wooded sheds and huts, beyond which, again, could be seen rudimentary streets of small red brick houses, and some church-spires akove them.\u2019 Emerging from the sation, we foun! a vociferous crowd of blacks, who were the signed me to the landlord st the bar.Our route lay through Pennsylvania avenue-a street of much breadth and lengih, fined with wlunthus trees, each tna white washen woud- od sentry box, and by most tregu'atly-butit houses in all kinds of material, from deal plank to marble\u2014of all heights, and every sort of trade, Few slop.windows were open, and the principal population cousisted of blacks, who were moving about on Jomestic affairs.At one end of the long vista thers is the Capitol; and at the other, the Treasu:y usual Arnerican c'assical colonnates, Close to these rices the grent mle of Willard\u2019s Hoel, now occupied by apphesn's for oftice, and by the members of the newly.assambled Congress.lt 18 à quadrangular mass ol rooma, six slopes bigh, and rome hundred yards square ; and it probably crn- tain st this moment more schem:nz, plotting, planing heads, mara aching aml yhal eas, than any building of tlie same size over held in the world.I was u-hered sto a bed 100m which had just been vacated by sone canli- date\u2014whether he succeeded or uot | cant tell, but if his testimonials spoke tiuth, he ought to have been selec'ed at one: for the highest office.The room was littered with printed copies of letters testifying that J} Smith, of Hartford, Conn, waz about the ableat, hicuestest, eleverest, und best ran the writers ever knew.Up and down the Jeng passages doors were opening and shuiting tor men with papers bulging out uf their pockets, who hurried as if for their life in and out, and the building almoat shook with the tread of the candidature, which dif not always in ite present aspect justly the correctness of the original appellation.It was a remarkable sigh', aud dillienlt to understand, unless seen.From California, Texaa, from the Iudian Reserves, awd the Mormon tenitery, from Nebrasku, es [rom the remotest borders of Minnesata, Iroin every portion of the vast territories of the Uni, except from the Seceded States, the trinm- phant republicans had winged their way to the prey.There were crowds in the hall throngh which one could scarce make his Way-\u2014the writing room waa crowded, and the rustle of peng rose to a little breeze\u2014the smoking room, the bar, the barbers, 1he reception roam, the ladies\u2019 drawing-room \u2014ull were crowded.\u2014 At present not less than 2,500 people dine in the publie room every day.On the kitchen floor there 18 a vast apartment, a hall withom carpels or any furniture but plain chairs and tables, which are ranged in close rows, at which flocks of people are feeding or disconra- ing, or from which they are flyimg away \u2014 The servants never cease shoving the chairs to and fro, with a harsh, rereeching noise over the floor, so ihal one can scarce hear fis neighbour speak, It he did, he would probably hear as [ did, at thi: very hotel, a man order breakfast, ¢ Black (ea and toast, scrambled eggs, fresh spring shad, wild mgeon, pigs\u2019 feet, (wo robins on toas', oysters,\u201d und a quantity of breais and cakes ol varions dena minations.The waste consequent on euch orders is enormous\u2014anf the abrlity required to conduet these enormous establishiments sue- cessfully is expressed by the common phrase in the States, ** Brow 1s a clever man, bat he can\u201c manage an hotel\u201d The tumult, the miscellaneous nature ol île company\u2014iny friends the prize- fighters are already in possession ofthe daorway-\u2014the heated, muggy rooms, not to speak of the great abominablenessof the passagesand halla despite a taost hibera! provision of &pittoons, conduce lo render these 1nsti- tutions by no means agreeable to a European.Late in the day 1 encceeded in oblaimng a sitting-room with a small bed-ruom aliached, which made me somewhat more independent and comiortable\u2014but you must pay highly for any departure from the routing lite of the na- uves.Ladies enjoy a handsome drawing-room wilh piano, sofas, and easy cliairs, all to themselves.[ dined at Mr.Sanford\u2019s, where [ was m'ro- duced to Mr.Seward, Secretary of State; Mr, Truman Smith, an ex senator, much respected among the Republican party ; Mr.Antony, 4 senator of the United States, a journalist, a very intelligent-looking man, with au lsraelit- tish cast of face; Colonel Foster ot \u2018he Iili- nois railway, of reputalion inthe S'ates asa geologist ; sud one or two more gentlemen.Mr, Seward is a slight middle-sized mun, of feeble build, with the stoop contracted from sedentary habits and application to the desk, and has a pecular 2ittiude when seated, which immediately atiracts attention.A well-formed and large head is placed ona long, slender neck, aud projects over ihe chest in an ur- gumentative kind of way, as if the keen eyes were seeking for an adversary; the mouth 1a remarkably flexible, large but well-formed, the nose prominent and aqniliue, the eyes secret, but penstrating, and lively with humor of some kind twinkhing about them; the row bold and broad, but not remakably elevated; the white hair rilvery and line -a subtle, quick man, rejoicing in power, piven to pero- rate and to oracular utterances, fond «lf buadi- nage, bursting with the importance of sate mysteries, and with the dignity of directing ihe foreign policy of the greatest conntiy-~as all Americans think\u2014in the world.Afer dinner he told some s\u2018ories of the pressure on the President for place, which very much amused the guests who knew the men, and talked freely and pieasantly of many things\u2014staling, however, few facta positively, In relerence to an assertion in a New York paper, Inat orders had been given lo evacuate Sumter, \u2018J hat,\u201d he said, ¢ is a plain lie\u2014no such orders have been given.We will give up nolhing wo have\u2014absndon nothing that has been enirust- ed 10 us.It people would only read these stalemenls by the light of the [President\u2019s inaugural, they would not ba deceived.\u201d He wanted no extia session of Cougress.« History tolls us that kings who call extra parliaments lose their heads, ?\u201d and he informed the company he had impressed the President with his historical parallels.All through this conversation his fone was that of a mas very sanguine, and witha supreme contempt for those who thought thers was anything serious in secession.*¢ Why,\u201d said he, ¢ | myself, my brothers, and eistera, have been all secessionists\u2014wu seceded trom home when we were young, hat we all went back to it sooner or later.These Staiea will all come back in the same way.*?{doubt ilhe was ever in the South ; bul he allirmed thatthe state uf living and of society tiers wus something like that in the State ul New York sixty or seventy years ago.In the North all was life, enterprise, indoatry, mechanical skill.! In the South there was dependence on black labour, and an idle extravagance which was mistaken for elegant loxury-\u2014umble down old hackney-coaches, such as had nnt teen seen north ot the Potorr ne fer halt a century, harness never cleaned, ungroomed horses, worked at ihe mill one day and rent to town the next, badly furnished houses, bad cookery, imperfect education.No painlial could bu drawn between them and the Northern Siates hackney-coachmen of ihe place; but Mr.83 St.Paul Street, Quebce, Dec, 31, 1862.Sanford had his tarringe in waiting, and drove | me siraight to Willard\u2019s Hotel, where he con- atall.Your are all very anary, >\u2019 he raid, + about the Morrill tariff.* You must, however, let us be beat judges of our own affairs.It buildings \u20144 fine block in muible, wih the!

tn the hall, on Lhe right and left, are small roome, with ths names of the different officers on the doors\u2014inost of them persons of importance ; hall-way ni the hall a tlight of stairs conducts us to a similar corridor, rather dark, wih doors ou each aide opening into the bureaux of the chief clerks.All the appointments were very quiet, and one would see much more bustle in the pas ~age of a Poor Law Roard or a parish vestry.In a moderately sized, but very comfortable, apartment, suirounded with book shelves, and ornamented with a few engravings, we found the Secretary of Siate seated al his table, and enjoying a cigar; he received me with great courtesy and kindness, and atier « lime said Le woukl take occasion to present ma to the President, who was 10 give audience that day to the minster of the naw kingdom ot haiy, who had hitherto only represented the kingdom of Sardinia, I have already deseribed Mr.Seward\u2019s personal appearance;

bis manner is very placid and modest, and, il not reserved, lie is by no means lognacious.As we were apeak- ing, a carnage drove up to the door, and Mr.Seward exclaimed to his father, with rsome- thing like dismay in hia voice, ¢ Here comes the Chevalier in full uniform !\u201d\u2014and in a few seconds in ¢tleet the Chevalier Bertinath made lis appearance, in cocked hat, white gloves, diplomatie suit of blue and silver lace, sword, sash, and riband of the cross of Savoy.| thought there was 8 quiet amie on Mr.Seward\u2019s face as he saw his bnlliant com- punion, who contrasted ro strongly with Lhe more than republican simplicity of his own attire.* I'red, do you lake Mr.Russell round to tha President\u2019s, whilst I go with the Chev- uhier, We will meet at he White Mouse.\u201d We accordingly set out through a private door leading to the grounds, and within a lew seconda entered the hall of the moderals mansion, White House, which has very much the airof a portion of a bauk or public office, bemg provided with glass doors and plain heavy chairs and forma.The dutnestie who was in attendance was dressed like any other ordinary citizen, und seemed perfectly indifferent to the high position of the great pereon- age with whom he conversed, when Mr, Seward asked him, Where\u2019s the President 1\"?Passing through one of the doors on the lel, we entered a handsome spacious roum, nchly and rather gorgeously furnished, and rejoicing in a kind of \u201cdemi jour,\u201d which gave in creased eflect to the gilt chairs and ormolu ornamenis.Mr.Seward and the Chevalier stood tn the centre of the room, while his son aud I remained à little on one sie.© For,\u201d said Mr, Seward, * you are not to be supposed to be here.\u201d Soon afterwards there ¢« ntered, with a shambling, loose, irregular, almost unsteady gait, a tail, lauk, lean man, considerably over six tect in height, with stooping shoulders, long pendulous arma, terminating in hands ol extraordinary dimensions, which, however, were far exceeded in proportion by his feet.lle was dressed 1n an ill-fitting, wrinkled suit of black, which put one in mind ol an undertaker\u2019a unilorm at a funeral ; round his neck # rope of black silk was knotted in a large bulb, with flying ends p'ojecting beyond the collar of his coat; his turned-down ehirt- collar disclosed a sinewy muscular yellow neck, and above that, nestling in a great black maces of hair, brsthng and compact like a ruff of mourning pins, ross the strange quaint face and head, covered with its thatch of wild republican hair, of President Lincoln.The impression produced by the size of his extremities, and by his (lapping and wide-project- ing earn, may be removed by the appearance of kindness, sagacily, and the awkward bonhommie of his tace ; the mouth 1s absolutely prodigious ; the lips, stragg!ing and extending almost frum one line of black beard to the other, ure only kept in order by (wo deep furrows from the nostril to the chin; the noes itsell\u2014a prominent organ\u2014stands out from the face wuh an inquiring, anxious air, as though it were sniffing tor some good thing in the wind ; the eyes dark, {ull, and deeply set, are penelraling, but full ol an expression which almost amounts to tenderness; snd above them projects the shaggy brow, ronning into the small hard frontal space, the development of which can scarcely be estimated accurately, owing to the irregular flocks of thiek hair carelessly brushed across it.One would «ay that, although the mouth was mace to enjoy A joke, it could alsu utter the severest sentence which the head could dictate, but that Mr.Lincoln would be ever more willing lo temper justice with merey, and to enjoy what he consi.ters the amenities of life, than to take à harsh view of men\u2019s nature and of the world, and to estimate things in an ascetic or puritan erpirit, A person who met Mr, Lincoln in the street would not take him 'o be what\u2014necording to lhe usages of Evropean tociely\u2014in celled a ¢ gentleman ;\u201d\u2019 and, 1n- deed, since | came to the Unned Siaies, | have heard more disparaging allusions made by Americans to him on that account than Î could have expected among simple republi.caus, whete all should be equale; bat, at the res, TS TT same time, 11 would not be pussible for the most indilferent observer (lo pass him in the street withoul notice.Aa he advanced through the room, he avi- dently con'rolled a desis (0 shake hands sll out wih everybody, and smiled gond- hamouredty td! he was suddenly brought up by the staid deportment of Mr, Seward, aud by the profound diplomatie bows ot the Chevalier Bertunaui.Then, in feed, he suddenly jetked himself back, and stoud in front of the (wo inuusters, with his body shightly drooped forward, and bis honda behind lin back, tue knees tunching, and his feet apart Mr.Seward formaliy presented the minister, whereupon the President made à prodigiousis vivlent demonstration of us body im 8 bow which tad wimost the elect of a smack in its rapidity and aheap ness, and, recovering himself, proceeded to give lus utmost attention, whilst the Chevalier, with another bow, road from u paper a long address 10 presenting the toyal letter accrediting hun as ¢ minister igsiden 37 and when ba sand that ihe king desired to give, under your enlightened admin- vetration, all possible strength and extent lo those sentiments of frank sympathy whieh do uot cease 10 be exhibited every moment between the {wo peoples, and whose origin dates buek us (s1 as the exertives which have presided over their common destiny as self-go- verniug and lree nations,\u201d the President gave another bow still more viclent, ae much as lo accept the allusion.The mister tonhwith handed his letter to lle President, who gave it into the custody of Mr.Seward, aud then, dipping his hand nto his coat-poeket, Mr.Lincoln drew out a xhiéel ot paper, from which he read his reply, the most remarkable part of which was his doctrine «that the Uniicd States ware bound by duty not to interfere with the ditler- ences of fureign governments and countries.\u201d Alter some words of compliment, the President shook Lands with the mn:ieter, who scon alter- wards retired.Mr, Seward then took me by the hand and said\u2014o M.President, allow tne to present to you Mr.Rus: ell, of the London \u201cTunes.\u201d Ou which Mr Lincoln put out His hand io a very fneudly mauner, and said, \u201c Mr.Russell, | um very glad to make your acquaiotanee, and to see you in this country.The London * Times?16 one of the growest powers in the world, \u2014in fuer, 1 don\u2019t know anything wluch has much wore power,\u2014ex- cept pertiaps the Mississippi, 1 am glad to know you as its minister \u201d\u201d Conversation ensued for some minutes, which the President enliveneit by (wo or three peculiar little aal- Hien, and 1 left «greeably impreseed with his shrewdness, humour, aud natural sogacity.In the evening | dined with Mr.Seward, in company with his son, Mr.Seward, junior, Mr.Sanford, and a quaint, natural specimen of an American, runte lawyer, who was going to Ifrusrels ns Secretary of Legution.His chiet, Mr.Sunford, did not appear altogether happy when introduced to his secretary, tor he found that ha had a very hmited knowledge (if ay) of French, and of other things which Lis generally considered desirable thal secra- tartes should know.Very nalurally, conversation turned on politics.Although no man can foresee the nsture of the crisis which ie coming, nor (he move In which it is to be encountered, the fauh of men like Mr.Sanford or Mr.Seward in the nltsmate success therr principles, and in the integrity of the Republic, 18 very remarkable ; and the boldness of their lan gunze in reference io foreign powers, almost wnounts to arrogan-e and menace, if not temerity.Mr.Seward asserted that the ministers of England or of France had na tight to make mention of tha civil war which appeared imminent ; and that the Commissioners who had been sent abroad could not be received by the governinent of any foreign power, oflicially or otherwise, even tv hand in a document, or ake a representation, without ineerriog the risk of breaking off relntions with the Government of (he United States.An regnrds the great object of public curiosity, the rehef of Fort Sumter, Mr, Seward mam- tains u prtound silence, beyond the mere declaration, made with a pleasant 1wimkle of the eye, that \u201cthe whole policy of the Gove erument, on that and other questions, is put forth iu the President\u2019s maugural, frum which thera will be no deviation.\u201d Turing to the inaugueal message, however, there is no such very cerluin indication, as bir.Seward pretends to discover, ol the course to be pursued by Mr.Lincoin end the cabinet.To sn ouleide observer, like mysell, it seems as,it they wera waiting for events to develop themselves, and rested their policy rather upon acts that had occurred, than upon any definite principle designed lo control or direct the future.1 should here add that Mr, Seward spoke in high terns of the ability, dextenty, and personal qualities of Mr.Jetlerson Davis, und declared hia belie! that bat for hin the Secession movement never could have suv- ceeded ns (ar ag it has gone, and would, in all probability, indeed, have never taken place at all.Alter dinner cigars were introduced, and a quiet little rubber of whist followed.The Secretary 1s given to expatinte at lage, and told us many snecdoles of foreign tiavel ;\u2014 it Iam not doing him injustice, 1 would say further, that hie remembers his visit to England and the atiention he received ihere, wirh peculiar satisfaction.He cannot be found fault with because he has formed a most exalted notion of the superior intelligence, virtue, happiness, and prosperity of his own people.114 suid that it would not be proper for bim to hold any commumcartion with the Sonthern Commissioners then in Washington ;

bo then sat down upon his cot ; he turned very coutrary on his comrades, and would not speak to them ; when he was asked a question, he would not give a decided answer, and sometimes one having nothing to do with the question, 1 know the prisoner to have been chnoged into three different rootus in consequence of his conm- plaints of the conduct of the men;
