the Confederate States OF America cannot under the
pressure Of circumstances, be much longer postponed

Mr. Gregory and other ardent supporters OF tho Southern
reluctantly withdrew their motions in Parliament
on this subject, and the last session allowed to
without any debate upon the right Of the republic
be received into the family G nations. The subject
however is now ripe not only for discussion bet for i'm
mediate decision and the reassembng Of Parliament
cannot fail to command the tdriy duentin of both

monorolizing the carrying trade between West India
colonies and the American continent yet so,shly refused
to concede reciprocal privileges to our flag and persisted
in excluding from their coasting trade. Now when
Is borne in mind that about two thirds Of ths entire
