CASE OF MIL DREW,
The Marquis of WESTMEATH wished to call the akin-
tics of their lordships and the govenonat to awe ro-
ts the mating newspapers of a slew named
d Robert Drew who wee called up at the Hasseruolth
Police-court before Mr. Daymaa to answer a charge of
*gin a bell at • religions ostabbanuot of the Carmelites
at Kensington. It appeared that this person bad rag the

rot to wooyaisos tied*, the night by the wean tolling
of a large bell. He thought this was a proper subject for
inquiry by the Homo floceetary, as it was very hard that the
paawl& ',Area of her lajenty should be disturbs" in
this way during their hours of net.

who salted whether it was the Wanks of her Majesty's

they should give up afore* the blockade, from that time
this country would Winn from acknowledging the boa.
swot *chimed tile Caledonia I wish to call attentioo
to that week, and to the way is which it is to be
to tonneau with the proclamation lately feenaTthe
President of the United States. It was stated that certain
ports were to be open. but that others for various sad par-
ticuiar. resew were ocesidera to be eking for the *sat,
and that any. peruke attempting for mereastik purposes Is

well defined, and such an offence OIRDOR be ossetneed
into the crime of piracy. The forcing a saws, into
these ports can simply be regarded as unaggEng. and
nothing else, but the pretence that in such aeon parties are
to be treated as pirates es• Wog which it is impasible to
pass unnoticed. I wish to ask the noble lard, Ont. whether

whether it has Ws consnakated to him, end if UN

knowledge' I would also ask the able earl how he as
work the letter withdrawing belligerent rights front the
Coeicalerates before the war had wad with the reply he
gave to the noble haw (Lord Houghtoo) the other day,
that those alligereet rights would not be with-
held so long as the tinted Slates put forward a
claim to interfere with neutral cossesetes ? I wend further
ask the *obis earl whether he is prepared to lay ow the
table the circular he as addressed to his colleagues, the
reclamation, if he has remind it, and any answer he may
have written on the subject!
Ali RUSSELL (who was very indistinctly heard is the j
pillory) was uoderstood to any that with respect to the
*ter to which the aohle earl had alluded he would state
the Ok0111011t&DOM wider which it was written. It appeared
that the able lord had hard from time to time what
led him to believe the Ossfederates would be able to
keep up the cootest, but he was sew Wooed to
believe that they were unable to cope with the
armies of the United States, and that la • few days
a warrander most be expected. It was under titlO, drew-
*boss that this cowry had to welder what policy should
to pawed. There was some diMoolty in regard to the
matter, because we had received no regular commogicatioo
from the Vatted Stake governmest that belligerent rights
had bean abandoned. There was also another difBealy in
going on with the woessfon of belligerent rights—aamely,
that though the war had entirely owed on the continent of
America, there had been two vessels, the Shenandoah and
the Stonewall, which were supposed to be cruisers of the
Ooofederate party, one of which was at Haw-
nah, and was understood to have hoes disarmed
and given up to the Federal., and the other,
the Shenandriab,had put into several ports in the Australia
colonies. It would be we obvious anomal, when the war
bad virtually ceased on the coals*
ofAmerica and the
whole frontier resin possession of the [Tailed States govern-
ment, that vessels should go about from port to port, in
calving coals and marina ander her Majesty's order of
186 L Before this state of Cider was brought shoat he had
bad an interview with Mr. Adams, and hod asked him
whether tho United States merament wen nay to abaudou
the search of neutral veeaal. Mr. Adams wore& him that
though there were no positive instnicatows be was
cononced that that would be the we. Under
thane circumstances he bad written the kW to which
the noble earl referred. and he should have no
objatioo to lay it on the table of the bow. A similar
eocomnaleation, bat in general terms, bad hoe made to the
other maritime powers of Europa and had remised Pasts,
Madrid, and Copenhageo. With regard to the proclamation
to which the noble earl referred, it was mainly a very
serious document. (Hew. bear.) It was, no doubt, right
enough in the statement that from the lot July these ports
in the South should be open to foreign oommenne, and the
law why that date was mentioned was that the custom-
house annegemente would by that time be completed. The
statement with regard to piracy was certainly somewhat
startling. (Haw, hear.) Sir Fred. Brine had expressed
the opinion that such an ahem under this tion
could clearly sot be considered piracy, and that no aeon in
the United State, would hold it to be such. He was bound
to my that her Majesty's government, feeling that the war
wee at so end, coin not but express • hope that the
American goverment would act with clemency to those
who had takes up arms. Hs took occasion when
speak% to their kedahips upon the aseaselnation
of President Lincoln to express a similar hops,
and be had taken the opportualty of observing that
President Lincoln was so jest • man, and bad so pledged
himself to a course of mercy, that it was most unfortunate
be should hays bees taken from the world at the moment
when he might have applied those principles to which
he had expressed his adherence. He hoped the United
States for their own sake sad for the sake of the rest of the
world would act In acoordsoce with those sentimentu

The Earl of DERBY asked whether the proolusation

threatooed penalties net anthoriad by iaternationd law,

roam' The noble earl had not stated whether the
American government bad communicated the connate of
the document to her Majesty's government, sod whether
be bad asked for explanations respecting threats
which it was not competent for the Presidia of the
United State. or any other ruler to earry out.
The document had been published in an official form to the
whole world, and it was hardly eel istest with oar position
that we should take no seas of it.
Earl RUSSELL thought it could hardly be end we bad
taken a notice of it, as we had this aorta of Sir F.
