prietisa he describes - having been commit.
I'd b. Mr. CridlAnd, or some other Consul,
wss tie telling az British subjects that they
wsgo mot to resist their enlistment in thu
Confederate army, but to desert their colors
IN the moment Of action" That he (Earl
RJsaid was very improper advice. Believ
Ing that the Confederate Government hac
csase Of complaint, Notwithstanding its sum
mary dismissal Of the Consuls, Earl K. says
he did not center into any complaint OF ar.
cry remonstzs1ce; but he asked Mr.. Ma
son "whefher II consular agents, or persons
under any other name, were sent to the Con
federste States, intercourse might not be
carried on, andnegotiations opened by which
We (they) might be able TO obtain redres
where redress ought to be given" He does
not ~ what answer was given by the Rep
ressntative Of the Confederscy, who had
besn treated 90 rudely BY the Earl himself
But he intimates that It was determined to
sand Q representative 70 our Government, in
the person Of one Mr.. Crauford, who may
be ct this time cropping his way through the
dark belt Of the blockade with which the
enemy has ensirdled the Confederacy.
It Il amusing to see with what pertinacity
the noble Earl adheres to the phrase $50
cslled' when alluding to the Confederacy.-
He even moved to amend the motion Of
Lord C.anricarde BY inserting $50 called"
before Confederate Government" and IN
referring to the measure of sending Mr..
Csau6ord to Richmond he says: 81 think it
quite right of tho British Government to
epdaevor 70 open communication with the
so-calle6 Confederate States without rec0g-
MIXING them; yet - being States of cOnside-
rsblo extent. In which civil war is carried
On, and In which there Ia considerable
number Of Britain subjects, l say there can
Be nothing wrong In sndeavoriug to enter
iRto communication with those States. -
Most decidedly not, save in the manner pro-
poeed-i e, to communicate with them
while denying their Confederate existence.
10 much trouble does the British Govern
mat take to avoid the honorable acknow
1adGmant Of . palpable fact! 1t first sent a
letter 70 the Confederate Government. ask
ing whsther NJ. Crauford or some one else
w0aA be received. As it had to come via
Warrington, Lincoln coolly sent this back
to Fan Rmsell; and now we ore given TO
understAnl that Mr.. Crawford has been sent
to get here - he may. Suppose Lincoln
catches him, what win be done then?
tits ssinsplar circumstance that the Brit
ish Government, which has treated our
representative With 40 much discourtesy,
and our Government with 50 much unfair !
neas. should be forced to dispatch an agent |
to ''negotiater with the Confederate Execu-
tive The diplomatic troubles Of the British |
xinistry must increase. Their timidity and |
Deanneas in their relations towards the
Federal and Confederate Governments very
naturally engeuder difficulties which manly
and honorable policy would avoid.
The Esrged Naval Report.
Ia debate In the Honse of Lords On the
5th ult., Earl Russell stated, with reference
to the fraudulent paper purporting to come
from the Confederate Naval Department,
that 'tit MAS said to have been published in
y New York paper as genuine; but Mr..
EeAssd states that, having made further in
asiry, 10 6ndssit to have betn altogether
forgery" It is no wonder that in the report
"a laugh" and shear. hear" shoald have
followed this statement. It 10 not surpris-
Ing that the Foreign MiniAter of the present
6faush Cabinet should be drawing his inior-
nation CONCERNING The C0nfedaranu Trono q a
