MIR. sEw,RD's NOTE TO Mr.. ADAMS or Noy. 30.
A strange and unacoountabe misstatement oil facts
appears in Tie Loadoa Post, which says the reason
why Secretary Stewards note 10 Minister Adams,
dated Nov. 80 relative to the Trent affair, was not
laid before the British public, is that Mr. Adams did
not communicate it 70 that Government, bat with
held il in the exercise OF his discretion. SO far
from this being tue. Mr. Adams in dispatch re-
ceived By the latest European mall says he not only
stated its contents TO Lord Russell, but read every
word Of il 10 him on the Both of December. This
nisstatenent has here given rise TO the question
whether The Poa is really the organ of Lord Pal
merton. or does !, wliully impose itself AS such On
the cgedg!iy OF the British public.
