In ne Houss Of Lords the Earl Of KlIsnbOr
Ough asked the Government EhstheF the term
lawful bi Jekade used in the recent proclamation
was to be interpreted literally or with qualifes-
tiOns, as, according 10 the strict meaning Of the
Paris agreement. it was impossible TO maintain
an effective blockade He complained Of the
vagueness Of The proclamation respecting articles
Ihu Earl OF Granville replied that lawful
blockade must maintained BY suheiont force,
but il was ROt absolutely necessary 70 render all
diGlcult.
Lord Derby said there were TIVE points upon
which 4 was desirable that the Government
shoCld come 10 an understanding with the Unit
cd States. They proclaim & blockade Of the
whole Southern coast, which they have not the
fOroe to maintain. Although they could lawful.
~ blockade certain ports, h was not desirable
that they should proclaim universal blockade,
but Only proclaim partial enc. The Northern
states also declare they should treat privateefs
as pirates, but they could not do 80 by the law Of
nztions, and Il Was desirable, notwithstanding
the proclamation, that 1t should be declared such
penalty on British subseots would not be viewed
with indifference BY England.
Lord BrOugham said prlVateeFing, according 70
international law, was not especially plrntloal,
but u Jain an expedition against 3 Power at
peace with England was plratlcal act To con
stitute aa efficient blockade sueh force must be
maiutaiaed as to make the passage Of it sbsOIute-
