changing from its original partiaity for
the rebel States. The Government is
yet anything but friendly to the Union

ity as it was before the arrival of M.

to doubt that the ministry had once de-
termined upon recognizing the Southern
Confederacy, and they were endeavorlng
to precipitate such action before the ar
rival of our mes minister.

had with Lord John Russell. the former
very distinctly expressed the belief that
the British Government mediate such a

an opportunity to the administration of
explaining the position in which the Gov
ernment Of this country was placed, the
object of the rebels and the power of
the Government to suppress the rebel
lion.

cognzing the rebels and to warn him
that this Government would perm it the
interference of any foreign government
to prevent the snbjugation of the rebel
States Of the Union.
