Her Ma jesty herself is so desrous to observe
To that question: as the noble Earl has stated
an answer has already been given in another
place. viz: That it is the intention of the
Government, according to CUSTOM to issue
proclamation giving such warning to all the
subjects of Her Majesty. The precise wording
of the proclamation is a matter of consider
able Importance and difficulty, requiring
sound deliberations but | may state that the
Government are anxious to make it as plain
and emphatic as possible. Hear, hear
The Earl of De"by-Perhaps the noble
Earl will inform your lordships whether, in
the event of the Northern States acting upon
their expressed intention to treat privateeling
as piracy, and British seamen being sentenced
TO death, it is to be distinctly understood that
such persons will not be entitled to claim
protection from their own country
Earl Granville-lt is quite clear that after
the proclamation has been issued no British
seaman will be entitled to claim the official
protection of his Government. Hear, hear.
Lord Brougham concurred in every word
that had been addressed to the lordships upon
this subject. Pricateerjng was piracy By tile
lar Of nations, and any British subject en-
gaging in 1t, whether belonging to the seroice
Of Her Majesty or not, naaSt take the cOnSe-
quences Of his crime.
The Earl of IIardwicke wished to express
his individual opiuion--in opposition to that
of the noble and learned lord-that priva-
teering did not, in all cases, constitute piracy
Without referring particularly to the United
States, he might observe that he thought a
teebler power engaged in a maritime war has
perfect right to avail itself of its merchant
ships for the purpose of aiding in the contest
in which it might happen to lie involved

Of the loyal Atlantic States to assemble At
Now York for consultation, in order 10 in
sure greater concert Of action. They were
thereby afforded an opportunity Of inspect
ing vessels fully equipped for The African
slave-trade, and Of seeing tho arts and dc.
vices employed to disguise and conceal the
real object Of their voyage, thus enabling
them TO detect and prevent the clearance of
vessels designed for this trade. 1t is graf.
flying to know that unprecedented success
has crowned the efforts Of tho past few
months. Five vessels have been seized
tried and condemned by the courts. One
SLAYER has been taken on the coast Of Africa
with about 900 negroes on board, who
were conveyed TO the Republic Of Liberia
One person has been convicted at New
York as the Captain Of SLAYER having on
board 500 captives, and two others (mates
of different vcssel,) and another one at
Boston for fling out vessel for the slave
trade. In the first named case the penalty
is death in the other it is fine and inipris.
onment. Hitherto, convictions under tho
laws prohibiting the African slave-trade
have been very rare.
This is probably the largest number ever
obtained, aud certainly the only ones for
many years. 1t is believed that the first
mentioned case is the only one involving
capital punishment in which conviction
has been effected.
The full execution Of the laws in these
instances will no doubt have n most salu-
tary influence in deterring others from the
commission Of like ofenses.
A number Of other indictments have been
found which are yet to be tried.
Within little more than year the Gov
ernment has sent 10 Liberia 4,5o0 Africans
recaptured on the high seas by vessels Of
our navy They were received under con
tracts made with the Rebublic of Liberia,
through the agency Of the American Colon
ization Society. The report says:
They are supplied with food clothing,
and shelter, medicines and medical atten-
dance, for one year from the date oflanding,
and are thus brought within the civilizing
and Christianizing influences of r Govern
ment founded and administered by inteli-
gent and nghtminded persons of their own
race. a.
They are under the special charge aud
supervision of an agent Of tho United
States, the Rev. John Seys, who has beer
a devoted missionary in Africa for many
years. His report, when received, will NJ
doubt afford abundant evidence of the wis
dom and philanthropy of the policy adopt
ed by the United States in regard to these
unhappy victims of cruel and relentless
cupidity, whose misfortunes have thrown
them upon the fostering care and protection
of the American people.

Gov. Pierepont, Of Western Virginia,
states in his recent message, asa result Of
inquiries which he has taken pains to make,
that large proportion of the slaves in the
eastern part of the state have been sent
south for security; that all the live stock
within the rebel lines have been seized; that
farms have been stripped Of horses, wagons,
fencing and timber, and the houses Of people
Of blankets, and even clothing whatever,
in short, that could be made useful to the
soldiers. The property of men known or
taken without compensation, and they re-
gard themselves fortunate if thier lives arc
spared. The property which is pretended
to be paid for is paid for in treasury notes
of the Confederate States, or in bank notes
issued on the deposit of such treasury notes.
This currency, even at Richmond, is already
at discount of not less than thirty per
cent, and the papers there are seeking to
maintain its credit by denouncing the pen
alties of death or cou6scation against mer-
chants and bankers who make any distinct
ion between such notes and coin. Yet this
circulation is really valueless. If the rebell-
ion fails to sustain itself, the notes must go
down with it. it succeed, from the i'm
