In the House of Lords, on the 18th of

correspondence which had taken place
with the Government Of the United States
in reference to the rccaptnrc Of the Emily

Federal Government for running the
blockade, and which had been brought TO

there was no power i'll England to sur

there was precedent. The British
Government had demanded from the

In the House Of Lords on the 10th June, Earl
Russell said he was anxious to give an explhna-
ton of some circumstances in connection with
Mexico which had excited some attention aud
dissatisfaction in France. The British Govern
ment had heen accused Of deserting the French
Government when it became necessary u carry
out the convention for the occupation of Mexico,
ID was said that the british troops had been
withdrawn from Mexico together with the Span
ish troops, and that the French troops had been
left alone to contend with the difficulties. This
was All entire Misrepresentation. No doubt the
/ French Government had resolved to send large
reinforcemeuts 10 Mexico, hut that resolution
| was not in any way founded on the course taken
| by the British Government. In the original
convention there was specific engagement ns
to the number of troops which were to he STINT
by the different Governments. The Spaniaris
we're to send 5000, the French 2,buO and the
British Government 10 send u naval force.
In addition to naval force, they had cent out
700 marines, which was the force they had since
withdrawn rs there was no immediate danger
