Mr.. Ed!0r-You will have received, before this
letter can reach you, an account of what Lord
John Russell said on the 7th il the House Of Com
mons-that the Government of England would re-
cognize you as q belliserent power-that is, ell
gagged in lawful wartare-which will secure to your
priyateers those maritime rights which the United
States Government has heretofore so streuuously
maintained in its own case but would now gladly
abolish, if it could. Should your people, when
captured, be treated as pirates you will only have
to retaliate, by treating pirates those whom you
capture This indeed, would be rendering the con-
test too sanguinary for our notions Of modern war
fare but the responsibility must rest with those who
begin it, That some persons here will accept your
lie tiers of marqRe, appears to me to be quite prob
able The Times goes far to say that they
have done already; but this, think, is prema-
ture. Meantime, they should be offered to every
European nation. 1t will compCate matters in a
way to win the support of every such nation which
will not consent to see its citizens hung as pirates
while engaged in a kind of warfare that the United
States Cabinet has itself sanctioned. To be sure.
Government here says that subjects of Great
Britain accepting letters, mast also accept the re-
sponsibility. This, however, cannot extend to
their being treated as pirates, after the declaration
that prvateers are to be recognized as regular war
obvious to be passed over. But proclamation will
be issued torbddnG British subjects to enlist in the
armies OF either power, Or OF taking sides as such
against the North or the South; for in this case,
they make Great Bflfain party 10 the contest.
lou know very well That DO not place much
reliance upon what is said by the newspaper press
mere as an expression OF governmental opinion.
