sailed from Liverpool to commence her plrat-
ical course. Instructions wcr. then given to
intercept her Mt Cork, but, Of course, her

than to admit that the neutrality laws could
lie easily cyadcd. but constantly rcitorating
that her Msjesty's Government could not 70
beyond The letter Of the statutes. And this
