to prolong the late unhappy strife anc to

Minister Adams, in his correspondence
wish Earl Ru sell, has ably and CLEARLY
placed the facts on record. and thu annals
Of our civil war cont ain no da' ksr chapter
than that recording the per6dy Of the

Minister to tn" aimsy sub'crfuge OF the
Briti.h Premier: -

lordship has gone thu length ofcouccdig
that Her Majrsty's Government actual'!
adopted this mos; grave proceeding with
out The evidence in It's possession of any
fact whatever upon which to rest it. The
statement is simply that declaration of
intentions to act had been, made by the
respective p .r.irs preparing far struggle.
Hence I feel constrained respectfully TO
submit it to your lord.hip whether in the
history Of civilized nations there can b.
found singl. instance in which st-p Of
such importance was ever taken by ons
friendly Government in regard to another.
