Department of State, Washington, March 16,1801. i Mr. John fjorsyth, of tho State of Alabama, and Mr. Martin‘J. Crawford, of tho State oi Georgia, on the ilih Inst., through the kind of fices of a tlLiltu nished Senator, submitted to the Secretary of State their desire for un ■unoffi cial interview. This request wus, on the 12th Inst., upon exclusively public considerations, respect tally declined. fin the loib Inst., while the Secretary was pre occupied, Mr. A. P. Banks, of Virginia, called at this department and was received by the As sistant Secretary, to whom he delivered a scaled communication, which lie had been charged by Messrs. For.-yth and Crawford to prescut to the Secretary in person. lu that communication Messrs. Forsyth and Crawford inform tho Secretary of State that they have boon duly accredited by the government of the Confederate States ot America ns Commis sioners to th<- government of the L nited Slulcs, and they set forth the objects of their attendance at Washington. They observe that aeveu States of tbe American Union, in the exercise of a fight inherent in every free people, havo with drawn, through conventions of their people, from the United States,rr*a«suined tbe attributes of bovoreigu power, and formed a government ol their own, aud that lho*e Confederate States now-constitute an independent nation, de facto and dc Jure, ur.d possess a government perfect in all Its parts, and fully endowed with all the menus of sell support.

Uh The old union, for which our fathers fought aud bled, lifts been willfully sacrificed by a Black Republican despot, and he now seeks to wrench Irani us our Liberty nod Independence. Virgi nia, which led the van in tbe war of ’70, now meets him on the threshold. She has been slow to net, but shc will be slower still to retrace her steps. Tbe Union has lost Its brightest planet, but it will henceforth beam as a star of the first magnitude in the purer, brighter and grander cou&Lcllatiou of tbe Southern Cross. The Spirit of the Men in Power.—The worst days of the French revolution never ex hibited a more demoniac spirit than that which animates tbe Cabinet at Washington. The fol lowing is from their organ, the National Itepubli- can, at Washington: “Fort Pickens is already reinforced, and while tbe arrogant aud inflated leaders ut Montgomery are dreaming of un advance upon the capital, the sands are well nigh run out of their career, of which every da£ Is only one step towards exile, or the gallows; If all the rules of clvUizod warfare arc to be discarded, it is time that wo should kuow it. If the Southern leaders aro to be hung when you catch them, the Northern leaders will he hung. If JeIf. Davis and his associate# are threatened with rope, let Abo Lincoln and his Cabinet look out lor their own necks. The City ov New York.—It Is to be hoped thut the present hostile attitude of the city of New York will never, never be forgotten by the South, whose commerce has made that city what It is, aud whose Just revenge dfin nomaUo it. Appointment.—Gen. M. L. Bonham has been appointed by President Davis a Brigadier-Gene ral In the Confederate States Army. a# they their g' State t ■ay, in tnlcinents, Messrs. For- t-iose their communication, dienee to the instructions of by requesting the Secretary “f point as early a day as possible, in hey may present to.the President of the United Suites the credentials which they bi.ar:ind the objectajuf tbe mission with which they are charged, Itate irnukly confesses that ho understands’the events which have recently cc-urrud, nud the condition of political affairs hleh actuall v cxi-ns m tbe part or the Union to liith his ut rent ton lies thus been directed, very different from the aspect In which they aro pre sented by Messrs. Forsyth and Crawford. He •tees In them, not a rightful nnd accomplished volution ana on Independent nation, with an established government, but rather a perversion of a temporary aud partisan excitement to tlio inconsiderate purposes of un unjustifiable and uncoustUtttlou-.il aggression upon the rights aud the authority vested in the federal government, and hitherto bV.niunly exercised, as from their very nature they always must, bo so exercised, for the maintenance of the Union, the preserva tion of liberty, and the security, peace, welfare, happiness and aggrandizement ol the American people. Tbe Seen:tary of State, therefore,avows to Messrs. Forsyth and Crawford that he looks patiently bat confidentially for the cure of evils which have resulted from proceedings so un necessary, so unwise, so unusual and so unnatu ral, not to in cguhtr negotiations/‘having iu view new and untried relations with agencies un known to and acting in derogation ot tho con stitution aud laws, but to regulftr and consido- rate action of ilu \ t-ople of those Stales, In co operation with their brethren in the other States, through the Congress of the United States, and such extraordinary conventions, if there ahull be need thereof, as the ledernl constitution con templates aud authorizes to be assembled. It is, however, the purpose of the Secretary of Slate on th'.-A uceftslpn not to Invite or engage In any discusshm of these subject*, but simply to set forth his reason a for dec-Hhiug to comply with tie request of Messrs. Forsyth and Ornw- f °On tbe 4th of March in St, the then newly elected ProMdent of the United States, in view of all the facts bearing on the present question, ns-mmed tbe executive adminiziration of tlio government, first delivering, in accordance with nn early and Uouored custom, an inaugural ad dress to the people of the United States. Thu Secretary ol State respectfully submits a copy of this addre. sto Messrs. Forsyth aud Crawford. A simple reference to it will be sufficient to satisfy those gentlemen that the Secretary of State, guided by the principles iherclu announc ed U prevented altogether from admitting or a#j ruining that the Suites referred to by them havd; In law or'In fact, withdrawn from the federal Union, or that they could do so in the manner described bv Messrs. Forsyth and Crawford, or in nuy other manner than with the consent aud 3:15 P. M., in blank envelope. Attest, I • J> T. Pickett, Secretary the Commissioner#., THE COMMISSIONER* IN REPLY TO MU.

Ntioard, Secretary "f Slai\ of the United States, Washinytan :— Tho “memorandum,” dated Department of State, Washington, March 15,1801, with post script uuc'ler date of 8th Instant, has beeu re ceived through the bunds ot Mr. J. T. Pickett, Secretary to the cotnmU^lon, who, by the ln- sirttQllouS of the under#i,Ti»e*b tv DU yesterday at Ihu department. In that memorandum you correctly state the purport of the official note addressed fo you bp the undersigned on the 12th ultimo, WiihoUt repeating the contents of that note In. full, it is enough to soy litre that It* object whs to invite the Government of the. United States to a friend ly consideration ol the relations between tho United States and the seven States lately of the Federal Union, but now separated from it by the sovereign will of their people, growing out of the pregnant and undeniable fact that those peo ple have rejected the authority of the United States and" established a government of their own. Those relations had to be friendly or hos tile. The peoplo of the old and new govern ments, occupying contiguous territories, had to stdud to cacti other In the relation oi good neigh bors, each seeking their happiness and pursuing their national destinies In ihciFown way, with out Interference with the other, or they bad to be rival and hostile nation*. The Government of the Conledorato States had no hesitation iu electing b# choice in this alternative. Frankly and unreservedly, seeking the good of the peo plo who had entrusted them with this power, in the. spirit of Immunity, of the Chris'*:an clvlllr t- - thm ot the age, nnd of tb/It Americanism which regards the true welfare aud happiness ot Ibt^ people, the Government ot the Confederate btates, among its first nets, comuilfshuied the undersigned to approach the Government of the United 8tales with the olive branch of puuce, mid to otter to udjtiai the great questions pending between them in mo only way to be Justified by tho consciences nnd common sense of good men who Imd nothing but tho welfare of mb people of the two confederacies at heart. Your government baa not chosen to meet the undersigned in the conciliatory spirit iu which they nro commissioned. Ferslsteuily wedded to those fatal theories ot construction ol the fede ral constitution always rejected by the statesmen ot the South, and adhered to by those of tlio administration school, until they have produced their natural mid often predicted result of the destruction of the Uniou, under which wo might have continued to live happily and gloriously together had tbe spirit of tho ancestry who framed the eouirtion consfltmlon.animaied the hearts of all their sons, yon now, with a,persist ence untaught nnd uncured by tbe ruin which has been wrought, refuse to recognise the great tact presented to you ofacoini 1 :lert and sue o~s- I'ul revolution; you close your i-ycs to the exist ence of the government founded unoii It, and ignore the nigh duties of moderation and hu manity which attach to you iu dealing with this great fact. Had you mol these issue* with the frankness and manliness with which tbe under signed were Instructed to present them to you and treat them, the undersigned had not now the melancholy duty to return houm and tell their government nnd their countrymen that their earnest aud ceaseless tlio its in behalf of peace had been futile,aud that the government of; ifie United Slates meant to subjugate them, by force of arms. Whatever may be the result, Impartial histo ry u -iiLr««—iu me Innocence ot tbr government of the Confederate States, and place Hid re.snon slbility of the blood aud mourning Hint- may en sue upon those who have deniud ibo great funda mental doctrine of American liberty, that “gov ernment* derive their Just powers from the con sent of the governed,” and who have .set naval and land nrmameuu.ln motion to subject the peo plo of one portion of the land to the will of ano ther portion. That that cau never bo done while a freeman survives In the Confederate States to wield a weapon, the undersigned appeal to past history to prove. These military demoustra- lions against tho people of the seceded States are certainly fur from buiug Ui keeping nnd con sistency with tho theory pf tho Secretary of State, maintained in his memorandum, that these State* are still component parts of the late American Union, ns tbe undesigned are not aware of anv constitutional power iu the Presi dent of the United Slates to levy war, without the consent of Congress, upon a foreign peoplo, much less upon any portion of the people ol the United Slates. The undersigned, like the Secretary of State, hnfc no purpose to “invite or engage in discus sion” of the subject on which their two govern ment* are so irreconcilably nt variance. It 1A this variance that has broken up tbe old Union, the disintegration of which has only begun. It Is proper, however, to advise you tnnt it were well to dismiss the hopes you seem to entertain that, by any of ths modes indicated, tho peopU- of the Confederate States will ever be brought to submit to the authority of thogovcrnimmt of the Unitud States, You are dealing with delu sions, too, when y° u 8 ‘ :u ^ to separate our people from our government and to characterize the deliberate, sovereign act of that people as u “perversion of a tempot^rv and parttoiu excite ment.” It you cherish these dreams you will be awakened from them nnd find them as unreal and unsubstantial as others In which you have recently indulged. The undersigned would omit the performance of an obvious duty were tbev to fail to mnku known to the government of the United States that the people ol tbe Con federate States have declared their independence with a full knowledge of tlio responsibilities of that act, nnd with as firm a determination to maintain it bv all the means with which nature has endowed’them ns that which unstained their •fathers when they threw off the authority of the British crown. The undersigned clearly understau^ that you have declined to appoint a day to enable l ” t,n ' n with which-St« addition that any contemplated change na re spects F6>t Plckcna would he notified to ub.~- On the 1st of April we were again informed that there might be an attempt to supply Fort Sumter with provls(oni t lijU. that Governor Pick- ens should lmve previous not)co of this attempt. There was no suggestion of any reinforcement. Tho undersigned did not hesitate to t^UOYO that these assurances expressed tho fntcntlons of tbu administration at the time, or at all events of prominent members of that administration.— This delay was assented to for the express pur pose of attaining the gfeat end of tho mission of tho undersigned, to wit: A pacific gelation of existing complications.

A PROCLAMATION* Whereas, seven of iho States formerly c> posing a part of the United Stales have, by ihority of their people, solemnly resumed the powers granted by them to the United States, and have frumed a Constitution and organized a Government for themselves, to which the people ol those States are yielding willing obedience, and have so notified the President of the United States by nil the formalities Incident to such ac tion, and thereby become to the United States a separate, Independentund foreign power: And, whereas, the Constitution,of the United States has Invested Congress with the solu»power “to declare war,” nnd until su» h declaration Is made, the President has no authority to call for an extraordinary force to w<jge offensive war ngnltwt onv foreign power; and whereas, on tl 16th Inst., the President ol the United States, plain violation of the Constitution, issued thousand ine.fuJ^ 4 ^* 00 v '‘ u 1 . . qu«ir uc duly executed over a people who are no longer a part of the Union, and iu said proclamation threatens to exert thin unusual force to compel obedience to his mandates; nnd whereas, the General Assembly of Virginia, by a majority approaching to cut Ire unanimity, de clared at Us lust session that the Slate ol Virgiuia would consider sneb tw exertion of force as a virtual declaration of'War, to be misted by all thb power nt the command of Virginia; nqd subsequently tho '.Convention, now iu session, represc.uliug the sovereigqty of the State, ha* re affirmed In aubstnnch the same policy, with al most equal uimu'.inlty; .and whereas, the State of Virginia deeply sympathizes with the Southern State* in the wrongs they havo Buffered, and In the position they hnvis assumed, and having made earnest efforts peaceably to cbmuose the differ ences which havo severed tho Umon, and having failed in that attempt, through this unwarranted act on the part of the President, and it i* be lieved that the influences which operate to pro duce this proclamation against the seceded.
