Mr. Seward to Mr. Adams.
Sir: The European mails which arrived yesterday were followed by those brought by the Scotia this morning. I have now the duty of acknowledging your despatch of the 21st of April, No. 661. I thank you for your enlightened observations upon the visit of General Garibaldi in England. I am, however, under no temptation to dwell upon the incidents which attended his sojourn there, since he has already left the island, and the marks of attention which were bestowed upon him will very soon fade from the national memory of Great Britain.
I shall follow with much interest the debates of the conference upon the war between Germany and Denmark. The success of the allies at Duffel seems to render difficult any settlement that would gratify the British nation by a rescue of the Danish kingdom from the danger of dissolution.
I am,sir, your obedient servant,
Charles Francis Adams, Esq., &c., &c.,&c.
