leaves no doubt abOnt the language o. the in-
struoIions with which Epccial commission cent 70

The essential points TO attain if the opportunity Of

from being resumed in the Spring. ii al ibis epoch
fu effect new campaign could open, u would bee
difficult 20 arrost il course and the consequence
would inevitably be disastrous in all respects. One
confederation ought also 10 have come weight ihnt

Your Excellcncy knows that the Secretary Of
State has alwayH shown himself very desirous 70
procure cotton for the European market, aud that
unhappy all bic good intentions in thus respect have
miscalTled, mp 10 e time, before the eXgencics OF
Ito war and the determination OF tho Confederate
20 burn thercotton rather thanfoe j! IN danger o. fall
ing into the hands OF tho fodcrds. AZ this moment
the Cabinet at Washington proposes new expert
ment which ID TO BE- no thc same time NJ ,Iey hope,
a powerful means Of coercion. II consists IN scizng
cotton, nee, tobacco and nigar upon the plantations
