FROM WASHINGTON.


WAsHINGroN, April 26.-Some excitement has
been produced in Diplomatic circles, growing out
of the proclamation of the President directing a
blockade of the Southern ports. 1t appears that
blockade, to be respected by foreign powers,
must not only be effective, but that due notice
must be given of such intention to their represen
tatires. With Brazil and all the South American
Governments, notice of ninety days is required
under treaty. But this has not been given by our
Government. Hence consignments Of coffee and
other natural products designed for Southern ports
delayed in their transportation to that portion
of the country, the merchants not being satisfied
of the effects of immediate blockade. 1t has there
fore become necessary that specific inquiries be
made of the Federal Government in relation to
this subject that treaty rights and privileges be
not damaged. The foreign ministers will insist
that the stipulations shall be respected and observ-
ed, otherwise naval forces will be despatched
hither as means of foreign protection. The deli
cacy Of the question apparent, and from what is
known, may involve serious consequences to all
concerned at all events produce trouble now as
well as in the future.
