We wish that the facts in relation to the effort
TO raise the Galveston blockade were equally
satisfactory. II is asserted that Mr.. Seward hAs
sent to Lord Lyons despatch in which he int
mates that "the blockade At that port may have
been interrupted, but that It was resumed ia-
mediatsly, and will be continued until furthee
notice." This Is regarded a. an admiration -
the blockade had been substantially broksu0
and mag give rise to some Troublesome qnss-
tious Of international Law with England N -.
