Lord Palmerston stated in the House
of Lords that the negotiation relative e
the San Juan flair had been suspended
in consequence Of The civil war in Amer.
lea, but joint provisional occupation Of
the lslssa had been arranged by both
Governments.
The British Government refuses to pro-
duce any information relative to British
vessels running the. American blockade.
GREAT BRITAIN.--In the House of
Commons on the 10th inst. Mr.. O'Dona.
hue moved for return Of the British
vessels. and Of their Captains and owners
respectively that have succeeded in run.
ming the American blockade. Also for
similar returns of British vessels captured
or destroyed in the attempt to break the
blockade and return of the number OF
British vessels that have put into Nassau
and other colonial ports with contraband
Of war and supplies for the Confederate
States, and that have bten permitted to
re6t and supply themselves at these places
in ccutravention Of tho Queens proula-
nation Of neutrality. He strongly GEN.
sured the Government for not having Ia
ken nctive steps to prevent breaches Of
neutrality by British ships.
Mr.. Ledyard said that it would be
scarcely convenient that he should enter
into discussion Of the blockade which
could come on more regularly when there
was solution Of it. of which notice had
been moved. He must decline, therefore,
to consent to the return for two reasons
In the first place the Government had not
yet got the information sought for, ana
inthe Cd place, if they had it would not
be, their Office to furnish list of wrong
doors and vioiators of the law. The pa
pers relative TO the blockade would prob
ably be laid on the table on the 24th or
18th inst, and would contain a statement
of the number OF vessels which had bro.
ken the blockade, and perhaps the ton
age, and he hoped the information would
satisfy O'Donahue. The Solicitor Gen
eral explained the misrepresentation of
O Donahue, and said that private vessels
might carry contraband Of war, but At
their own risk, and if detected they must
abide the consequences.
