Sir-Since my No. a, of 9th inst, further
information has reached the Department, illus
trating most forcibly the necessity for the nc,
ton taken by the President on the subject of
Her Britannia Majesty's Consuls, resident
within the Confedcracy, rs explained in that
despatch.
On the 18th May, Mr.. Cridland, who had
occasionally acted as Consul in Richmond du'
ring temporary absences of Consul Moore.
sought an interview at the Department, and
on being admitted, called my attention TO an
article in the Richmond "Whig" of that date,
which announced that Mr.. Cridland was
about to depart for Mobile with the commits
sion of Consul, and that he was accredited to
Mr.. Lincoln, not to this Government. Mr..
Cridani assured me that the statement was
err ,neous, that he was going to Mobile rs
a private individual, unoffcialy, to look at-
ter certain interests of the British Govern
mcnt, that had been left unprotected by the
withdrawal of Consul Magee. He further
stated that as be was going there unofhcially
he had not conceived that there was any
impropriety in doing so without commnnieat-
ing his intention to the Department, and hoped
thar such was my own view of the matter. l
informed him that all neutral residents were
at liberty to travel within the Confederaey and
to transact their business without other re-
strictions than such as the military authorities
found it necessary to impose for the public
safety, and that this Department saw no rea-

yet it s clear from the cIamor raised by many of the

that The will be great danger of OVERRIDING this bust
of forcing producers into the army, and go, from
lack Of food the count SHALL be more e3ctually sub

plenty of good food to sustain armies in the field,
and their families at home and there fear OF
