LORD RussELI'S INTERVIEW WITH THE SOUTH
ERN siISSIoNERs.
Lord Russell, IN 3 dispatch addressed TO Lor6
I.yons on the 1lth May, gives an account Of q" "a

My LORD: On Saturday last received OF my
house Mr.. Yancey, Mr.. Mann, and Judge host, tnS
three gentlemen deputed by the southern Con,e
erscy 10 obtin their recognition as sn
State Que Of these gentlemen, speaking nor tns
others dill tied tie czuses which had ipduced tns
Southern States 70 secede from the Northern. los
p.iucipal OF these causes, he said, was not slavery
but the very hish price which, for the sake Oh pr,
teotiog the Northern manufacturers, the SCUM wee
Obliged 10 pay fer tie manufactured goods wLlccs
thoy required. One of tie first acts Of the southern
Congress- W 10 reduce these duties a1d TO prove
tber siocerity he gave US au instance that Louhane
had given up altogether SHAT protection on her sa~
gar which sbe enjoyed by the legislation Of I-s
United States.
As proof Of the riches Of the South, be stated
that of $1)00) 90 OF exports of produce 20 foreigr
countries, $Ao,o0,O 900 were furnished by the South

with tho delegates Of the Southern States. list,
however. when the question OF recognition came H
Le formally discussed, there were two points upco
which inquiry must be made: fret, whether us
BODY seeking re- ,nion could maintsia it's position
Az AN independent State; secondly In what manner
it proposed 10 maintain relations with fore'ss
States.
Aftor speaking ut some length on the first Of these
points and ailnding to the news OF tho secession o.
Virginia and other intelligence favorable 10 their /
cause these gentle men called my attention TO Tue

the Slave States found HAT they could not compete
successfully with the cotton Of other countries ney
would revive the tlave-trade for the purpose "
diminishing the cost OF production. lhey said thit
was suspicion unsupported by any proof. Inc
fact was that they had prohibited the slavetrsfs
and did not mean TO revive H. Iney poinIea 70 az
new tariff Of the United States as = proof taaa
British manufactures would be nearly excluded foij
the North, and freely admitted in The South.

great inheritance. The delegates concluded ~
stating that they should remain in London for no

Southern Conederaey would not be long delayed.
