I LL.TR.k:ATMENT OF A BRITISH SUBJECT IN
NORTH Ait ERICA.
The Earl of CARNARVON was mutes@ to ascertain the
truth, or fatten to °Maim from bar Majerty's goverament •
contradictiost of &stony which Lad bees to circulatitio during
the lest week or tea days. That story awns! ;to him no
moustrous is the shape in which it had reached this country,
that be we almost conlideat it must he full of ezaggera•
two. It wee to the effect that a Cessna& gentleman, a
British subject, whilst thweltieg tin en American railway,
was .rreeted by over of Mr. Reward, Secretary of Mate of
the United Stater ; that ha was taken to the guard house,
sti.ppeil and watched. and subjected to very great and grow
indignity, under the pretence that he was connected with
some persons engird its the war in Use Confederate States
Nothing was found to inculpate him is the slightest degree,
but he wee takes to prism in New York, where he
was immured fur overeat weeks, while typhus fever was
raglog in tbe Own, and carrying off its victims daily. He
was detailed without being Lt....slit to trial, awl without,
in fact, *charge being made against him.
Earl RUSSELL., who wee very indistinctly heard, was
naderstood to say that no thu -"Jth of October • letter was
written to Lord Lyme by a Mr. 3bepperil, 'eying that while
travelbeg by radway—be had bees aa agent of the Greed
Trask Railway—he wee erneted sad seat to a prima in
New YerlLosi a charge of conspiracy egoista. the United
Rates Tbst geatleaue further stated the charge was
quite untrue, sad that be was a loysl British subject. It
further appeared that be was asked to take the oath of
allegi,mat to the United State* and refired to do
DA Lord Lyme soot a representation to Mr.
tieerar.l, and on the nth of November he wrote
• reply, saying that he had ..t first been led to
believe that the gentleman wat • citizen of the Veiled
States, and that it WAS under such an impression he bed
*Awl him to take the oath of allegiance. Rut whoa it
turned out that be wee a Waist, subject, his release was
still withheld on the grimed that be was • spy in the employ
of the Confederate Stets. Mr. Sheppard gave en indignant
denial to that accusation, and he was then asked to enter
into certain trooditioes, use of which was, that he ems not
to enter tn. Caufederate State. sharing the war. Soh. I
'aim oily he was liberated. The house would understand
that Mr. Seward &mimed the right of the Proudest
to order the arrest of any person during war at his plums,
whether a titre's of the L sited States or sot, and the law
officer* of kis government contended that such a power
attached se the President under the coestitutioa of the
States. He had au ohjecitios to produce the uurnapoodeace
upon the saWsct.
The 'Pori el CARNARVON was sorry to hear that the
facts of the are, as he had Sabel them, and which he could
@utterly Wits himself to believe, were borne out by the
stet riiient ..f the noble lord the Secretary of State fur Fureige
Alfu.s. It seemed to him strange and monstrous that the
government of the rotted States should oe such a pretense
have violated the ordinary decencies which regulated the
intercourse between friendly mations. He should wove for
the ronespondenor, because he thought the house ought to
molerriand the matter in all its beanegs. He hoped it
would be found that when remonstratieg against the pro-
ceeding. of the American goverument. the noble lord load

THE AMILKICAN BLOCKADE

Mr. GREGORY seat that he bed hew unwilling as the
prereotis erasing to letroduce any sullen% which give
roe to a debate, but there was eta topic which was as
the lips of every one. and that wee the effect which this
leseetable Aaserican mot had produced epos the pope's-
Soo of Eitibiod. (Year, hoer) It WWI BO{ hie leteetiee
to eider as deal taws the que.tion oe Net eseee bet
there was use putot cones.tdwith the wet wb he
was justified is elladioi to, sod that wee the condition of
the blockade of the ftuothera ports. (fleet, beer.) He
did so, laroiase last peer, on the 6th May, he pot throe
gerstion• to the Friretis Skerrtarr, nee el which referred
to the estrpst. He thee asked Lord Reseal whether hie
rzareeet had &rimed the gusweeteet of the Utrited
that their blockade, if sot effeelfeth ovoid wet hit
nolgaird is lama Lied Russel replied this Irs be& tab

though it necessary to give any epeeist instruction to our
?Moister at Washington, but that Loral Leon* end the
United duster government both knew that nu blockade
could be ireognized unless it was effective. Now, doeu-
meeta bad been placed in his (Mr. Cregory'v) Minds nation
the last few days, which showed admit:aside doubt to
salt with refersoce to the etfectiveoem et the blockade.
lie regretted to be obliged to express his CMlViC-
tins that the blockade wan only a leper docksole,
but he should not then anticipate the discussion which
must take place am the production of the papere. He had
merely risen that evening to announce his intention of
twinging the whole uuestion of the bluessale butane the
house, became if the tames which he should be prepared to
quote should turn out to be true, then be thought the
House of Commons would pronounce the blockade to be
ineffective. tin the other baud, it would rest with the go-
vernment to pronounce whether it WWI effective or not.
Whilst they looked at all these MAUS?, from • con-
ciliatory point of view as reganled the United States,
although he should be the last men to advocate any act of
hostility, still. es this country had acknowledged two bel-
ligerent parties, he thought that iu justice to loth, sent to
the suffering people of this country, no time should be lost
in diva:nosing the subject—(bear. beer)—awl ascertaining
whether this blockade was in reality effective. (Hear.)

Admiral WA lAA= took that opportunity of compliment-
ing the government on the efficiency of their arrangements,
and of commending the Canadians for the loyalty they had
evimaid in the crisis. He alto thought that the Naval Re-
serve bad turned out to be of meet value in the emergency.
31r. DEN TI NCK was glad that the question of the block-
ed.: of the Southern ports of America was to be brought
under the notice of the house. There were two questions
involved in the couideration of the subject—namely, its
conimercial bearing. and its bearing upon the character of
this country. Upon the commercial question be would at
present say nothing. but it appeared to him perfectly clew
that if his hen. friend (Mr. Gregory) was able to substan-
tiate the statement he had foreshadowed—namely, that
the blockade had bean nothing more than a paper blockade—
then the character of this country was to a great
shunt involved in its. recognition. The recognition
of a paper blockade would. as was admitted on
all heeds., he a violation of the rules of internatiimal law ;
and assuming that such could be shown to be the character
of the blockade of the Southern porto, he should like to
know what became of the principle of nonintervention of
which they had heard so much ; for if the blockade wu not
eeriest, its recognition would be an intervention in favour
of the Northern States. (Rase, bear.)

Mr. D. UR IF FITH observed theta lota had been oontracted
la Loodon, which would enable the Emperor of Morocco to
mete the payment seminary for the possession of Tetuan ;
and be (Mr. 4 triftith) wished to learn from the government
whether that peyment was in coons of being made. and
wt ether the transaction would be immediately completed.
The report upon the address was then agreed to.
