In the House of AoIis, Lord &c ,npbeIi
called ATTENTION 10 the ineficiency of the
American Blockade OF Oonfsdsra.e ports, and
moved fer the publication Of correspondence
on the g ubject. Lord Russell replied in proof
agsipst the charges advance BY Lord Camp
bell Of ineficienoy in the blockade, and re-.
counted the efforts made BY the North to
render II effective. He considered that the
autofcott In the English market was the
best test that the blockade was not an empty
one.
He, however, added, that a renewal Of the
old feeling between the North and the South
was impossible, and hoped that the North
would consent TO a peaceful separation Of
the Southern States. He trusted that within
three months the war would close, believing
that emancipation might possibly be effected
by gradual and peaceful means. He said that
no formal commu nication had been made by
the French Government In relation to The
igefhGleney of the blockade.
