, Lord John Russell said that Her Males

force for the protection of British shipping
be sent to the coast of America. The gov,
ernment had read accounts of the progress
Of the war in the United States of America
The government heard the other day that
! the Southern Confederacy had issued let
ters of marque, and that it was intended by
the u. S. Government that there should be
a blockade of all the Southern ports. There
, were some points of law on these questions

GERS of the Grown for their opinion, in order
, 10 guard its instructions TO the minister:
in America and the commandment of the
naval squadron. The Government has fell
that it was its duty to use every possible
means to avoid taking part in this amenta
BILE contest. Nothing but the imperative
duty of protecting the British interests il
the case, if they are attacked justifies the
Government in interfering at all. We
have not been involved in any way in that
contest by any act, or by giving advice il
the matter, and for Gods sake, let us, il
possible keep out Of it.
