THI PRvATsEas BEING CossrRUcrsD IN ENG
LAND.-Aocording to the striot letter Of the law
it may be right that the English government
should allow the construction of rebel priva-
teers in its dominions; but we don't see the
matter in that light. We behaved very diffe-
rently during the Crlmean campaign, our
administration showing the most truthful
and earnest desire to defeat all attempts on the
part of those who were inclined to evade our
neutrality laws. The English blockade runners
which congregatc at Nassau must open the eyes
of the English government to this violation Of
neutral laws, and hence We naturally blame
England for affording aid 70 the rebels. Were
the Queens government really desirous to OBJ
serve her Majesty's neutrality proclamation
they would soon put stop to this privateering
and prevent the sailing Of the rebel vessels now
in British ports.
