The steamship Arago from Southampton
LIST, arrived at this port yesterday 2. NJ
bringing an average cargo, $50, 900 10 specie
and 337 passengers among whom was d. j.
Holland, bearer Of dispatches TO the Govern
ment Of the Southern Coniederacy.
The steamship Kangaroo, Capt. Micrhousc
from Liverpool on lst, and Queenstown on
2nd instant also arrived here yesterday. She
brings S80, geo in specie. In house of
Commons, Mr.. Ewart had asked whether
seeing the possibility Of pryatecrlng being
permitted and encouraged by Southern Con-
lederacy, the American Government
had placed sufficient naval
force in the Gulf Of Mexico for the protec-
ton Of British property in American ships,
and if priyateers sailing under the Tag OF an
unrecognized power would be dealt with as
pirates Lord John Russell said that her
majesty's government had directed that
naval force for the protection of British
shipping DC sent to the coast OF America
The Government heard the other day that
the State Of Southern confederation had
issued letters Of marque, and that 1t was IN
tended by the [. 5. government that there
should be q blockade OF all the Southern
ports There were some points OF law on
these questions, and they have been
referred to the law officers
Of the crown FOR their opinion, in order to
guard the Government, in its instructions to
the Minister in America and the Command
ant of the Naval squadron. The Government
has felt that it was its duty to use every
POSSIBLE means to avoid taking part in this
iamentable contest. Nothing but the i'm
perativo duty of protecting British interests,
in case they are attacked, justiiies the Gov
eminent IN interference at all. We have not
been involved in any war i'll that contest, 10y
any act OF by giving advice IN the matter,
and for God sake, let US, II possible, keep
out of it.
The London Times in an editorial, says
that the excitement in northern and southern
sections Of America, apparently has had no
parallel since the early days OF the French
Revolution.
LArER.-St. Johns, n. F., l4th. The
steamship Parana from Galway on +. NJ, OF
7th inst, arrived here at 3 this Z. NJ. The
Parana brought no mails. As to the Federal
Government committing an infringement OF
international law bv collecting dues from
foreign ships before breaking bulk, the law
officers of the crown said 50 much depended
on the circumstances that no definite instruc-
tions had been sent the cruisers. The govern
ment believed that collection is i'm
nracticaIe Relative to the block
adc he said it could only be recognized
when effective. Regarding letters oil marque
the government were OF the OPINION that inc
Southern confederation must be recognized
as bellicerents. Other important questions
are still under consideration.
