Som ething About tho Attitude OF Great
Britain During tho Late Rebellion.
New YoRK, May 7.-Frederick Ban.
croft, librarian Of the State Department
at Washington, spoke last evening be.
fore the Academy Of Political Science on
"The Efforts OF the Confederacy to OBJ
tain Recognition from England" Mr..
Bancro:t's remarks were based on Con-
federate dispatches now in possession OF
the government. He spoke Of tie COM
mission through which it was REPRESENT
ed to England that secession was dine
chiefly to the differences on the tariff
question and that Confederate success
would be signal victory Tor free trade,
and would open 10 England an immense
market, which she would not have
otherwise. Through the efforts Of Secre-
tary Seward, the British Secretary OF For
eign Affairs refused to give the Confed-
crate commission an official audience.
Aiterward the Confederate Government
sent Mason and Slidell abroad. Mason
found there was willingness on the
part Of England to recognize the Con.
federacy. but that the moral sentiment
against slavery had SO developed that
Lord Palmerston was afraid to take the
final step, fearing loss OF party pres.
,ige. The defeat OF the motion in Par
lament in favor Of recognizing the Con.
federacy was disheartening and Mason
was withdrawn In August, 1868. OF
the three Secretaries OF State OF the
Confederate Government, Robert
Toombs, R. NJ. 7. Hunter, and Judah 2.
Benjamin, the lecturer regarded Benja.
min as the ablest and most efficient.
The dispatches showed that late in the
war France made an effort to get Russia
and England to urge the North and
South to declare an arlnistice for siz
