Earl Russell said that. from Lord Lyons's
dispatches, the government believed the pro-
clamation was authentic; but with respect
to any action Of the U. S. Government in the.
way of approval or disapproyal they had no
information. Lord Lyons had made no
Representations to the American Government
on the subject. aud he did not appear to have
any official Information concerning the pro-
clamation upon which he could do so. For
his own part. he Earl RusselD hoped the
American Government would, for its own
sake, refuse its sanction to it, and disay0w
| il. The proc lamation was important TO the
whole world. The usages of war should not
be aggravated by proclamations OF this cha
racter. Helhought that such proclamation,
addressed to force that had just captared
hostile city, was likely to lead TO great
brutality. lie thought there was no defence
for this proclamation, and he sincerely hoped
the American Government would disayow
It.
