First sentence: THE late speech of the Attorney-General of England, Sir Roundell Palmer, made in the debate to the British House of Commons on the 13th ultimo, on the question of admitting the Confederate ship Georgia into the port of Liverpool, contains so many misrepresentations, or misstatements concerning American law and statesmanship - based, for the most part, on the pretended authority of Mr. Justice Story - that, as one interested in the just record of his country's history, and in the correct appreciation of the opinions of that eminent jurist and publicist, the writer feels impelled to notice and to reply to them.
