did set think be lead. As to the law of Ragland the mi
shmashes Wm clear ammo, bet it was iliffareut with regard
to that part wbieli feasted of the law of 'Rations. A grout
deal of doubt smelled as to the meaning of the proclamation
sw that point. Her Illanely's subjects were "warned Dot
be husk or endeavour to heath any blockade lawfully and
meth* established by either of the belligerent parties."
Now, be wasted to know is whet sense they were to understood
the impression lawfully arid actually established.
Rad GRANVILLE said the queetions put by the noble
Mr' Wire very imperteist sad very dittlerdt to answer. At
the amine time it was his duty to give the noble earl all the
isiormation is his power. If, however, he fell into soy mis-
take es the subject he should feel groteful to any noble and
Lamed lord as either side of the hour to correct him.

to the soured questioa put by the adds earl. But the
govenimest pursued the mew enure un the present °ma-
son as had formerly been pursued. The noble earl had
wholly answered ken owe quatioo, because he admitted
that the messing of cositraband of war most vary with
