Great Britoin.-In the House of Commons
Mr.. Ewart asked whether seeing the possi-
bility Of privateering being committed and
encouraged by the Southern Confederation,
the American Government had placed a suE-
fCient naval force in the Gulf of Mexico for
the protection of British property in Amer
can ships, and if privateers sailing under the
flag of an u~nrecognized power would be
dealt with as pirates.
Lord John Russell said that Her Msjesty's
Government had directed that q naval force
for the protection of British shipping be sent
TO the coast of America. The Government
had received accounts of the progress of the
war in the States of America. The Govern
ment heard the other day that the Southern
Confederation had issued letters of maruue,
and that it was intended by the United
States Government that there should be a
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 opin-
ion in order to guide them in its Instructions
to the Minister in America, and the Com
mandant of the Daval squadron. The Gov
eminent has felt that it was its duty to use
every possible means to avoid taking part in
this lamentable contest. Nothing bat the
imperative duty of protecting British inter-
ests, in case they are attacked, justifes the
Government in interfering at ali. We have
not been involved in any way in that con-
test by any act or by giving advice in the
matter, and, for Gods sake, if possible, keep
cut of 1t.
