do not find either in The opinion Of the law officers
Of the Crown or in any direetioDs that gave mysslf
anything that would justify that course; and the sec
retary of the Confederate States hgd written this
country 20 complain Of that conduct, shoEid have
thought II right to repriuRad and even dismiss the
consul who had acted in SO improper msuner. Ia
stead OF that the President Of the sesed Csnedssts
Government sent away eHr eonsuis, though these
the persons to whom the British subjects would natu-
rally have in order to obtain redress for greV
| sness. The only remedy they would have whsn the
| COp8uiS removed that suggested ben
si-aanaely that Eolders In the Held might apply to
the tribunals Of toe country might essiiy write
70 his eonsul to claim redress but that marching
| about should 60 20 court Of lew-that was thing
/ thst could not be done. / therefore thought
that very harsh aud usfsisndly proceeding the
| part of the Conft1erEte Government. A: the same
time It ought to be remembered likewise that the Con.
federats Government had good to complain Of
consul saying that he had been sa instructed the
oonfsdoras Government might at first have believed
him.
Therefore, did not enter into any complain. or an
cry remonstrEuee; bat asked Mr. hssoa WHISTLER II
consular agents. or persons under any other name,
sent to the Confederate States Intercourse might
not be carried and negotstions opened By which we
might be abe toobtsn redress where redress ought
be given have stated for its refusal Ny
bic friend does not complain Of that There has no
docbt been delay in carrying that arrangement into
4 effect II thought necessary to send letter to
Richmond to know whsthsr such persona would be Re.
eeysd and the letter the Federal Governmsn; Weuld
81 ON be sent. But think it is quite right OF
the British 90Te .nnent to endeaYor to open communi-
cations with the called Confedsrais Si2tss, without
recognizing item, yet, being Sa.es Of considerable
extent In which civil war Ia carried on, Eud in which
there L Considerable number Of British subjects say
there be nothing wrong in ende2voring to sntsr
into communication with those States. Hear, hesrl
Ny noble friend has addressed your lordships on va
rioUs other subjseiE I desired Mr. CfaniOrd when he
arrived at Richmond 70 csl the atenten OF the Gov
eminent to the intercepted correspondence core
spondenee which believed at the time 70 be genuine
and which showed that party In the country had
been employed by the COHiedsrsie GovsFament to
procure means ef carrying on wr sgsinBt 5 late In
arnity with us. Ny noble frisrd is that her
Majesty dsolAro1 at ihs beginning of this war her de-
teroiuatjon 10 preserve strfet neutrality and PRO
Sib:ts her subjects from taking part de or the
other. sorry to say the inuneiio OF her Majesty
has not been obeysd. have thought Il right Oh
every occasion when 1t appeared to 1hat there

With regard to the documents to which MY noble
friend alluded It has been the sEbjset of res desl
