They were further1 Instructed to atk ller Majesty! Government to recognise the fact et tb4 existence of thls new Power ha the world, and also to Inform it that they were fully empowered to negotiate with it a treaty of friendship, commerce and navigation. Al aa early day after the arrival of the undersigned la London, at an Informal Interview which your Lordship was pleased te accord them, they Informed your I Lordship of tha object of their mission, and endeavor ed la impress upoa you Lordship, that the action of theaevaa Confederate States had been based upoa repeated attempts an the part of the Federal Govern-meat, aed many of tha more Northern States which composed tha late Union, during a series of years which extended over near half a century, to rale tha people of the Southern section of that tjaUa by means; of the unconstitutional exercise of power and that secession from thst Union had been resorted to as In the opinion of ef tha seceding States the best and surest mode of saving the Ubertirs.whlch.thelr.Fsiieral and State Constitutions were designed to secure to them. They also endeavored to place before your lordship satisfac factory evidence that the justice of this great movement upon the part of the cotton States, was so palp-aMc ttiat It would be indorsed by many, 11 not by all, of the Southern Suites which ere then adhering to the Union, which would sooner or lster become convinced that the security of their rights could only be maintained by pursuing the like process of secession from the late Federal Union, and acssion to the Coo-ettraUoa and Ueverament of the Confederate States America. i They were especially desirous of convincing your Lordship, and laid before your Lordship reasons for their belief, that the people of the seceding States had violated no principle of allegiance in their act of secession, hut. on the contrary, had been true to that high duty which all citlzena owe to that sovereignty which is the supreme fount of power in a State, no matter what may be the particular form of govern-aaont.

wooer which they live they were careful to anew to our Lordship, however, that the idea of American sovertHgnty as different from that entertained In Great Britain and Euroae that whereas Nho great Eastern hemisphere generally sovereignty -was mmi loezsH ia me usfcnuDcui, ute lounaers of the North American States had solemnly declared, and upon that declaration had built up American la-, sUtuuocs, that Governments weredastituted among men, deritlnr ttelr Just power from the consent of rtha governed; that whenever any form or govera-i sweat becemea destructive of these ends, (ecurtty to I lite, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,) It is the right of the people to alter or abolish It, and to instl-Mute a new Goverameat. The anderatgned assumed it to be incontrovertible, It la order to give practical vitality to this declaration, that the people who were declared to possess this fight te alter or to abolish such oppressive Govern-f raetit mast be the people whose rights such Gwreptmeat either assailed or no longer protect- ed. i Whether that Government should be ministered by one tyrant or the more heartleas and equally effectual despotism of a sectional and tyrannical maiority could make no difference In i the application of the principle. hen the people who thus atln.Mahoih'hlng" their form of Govern-meat are not mere sell-constituted assemblages of disaffected individuals, but the sovereign people of great Rules, each possessing separate Constitutions, I aa legislative and executive powers acting la modea prescribed by those Constitutions, and taking votes under form and by virtue of law, the minority yielding cheerfullr to tha dsclslonetae majority as to the que-1 tka clear that, whatever might ha European views aa to such action If developed 4 ia Europe, the seceding States were amply justified by the great American principles of kelf-govcrnmeut proclaimed by their ancestors 1776, They submit ted that, ae far from tha principle American tle glance having been violated by the people of the se-; ceding States, ta those Slates alone Is that principle upheld whereby the actions of men claiming to be the representadvee of the men of I77e are to be r' guided and jusuftsd, and that the people and Govern meat of the States upholding Ur.

They own but few ships.

II nee there has not been the least necessity fur the Government at Washington to Issue The people of Confederate States have but few ships, and not much commerce upon wbica such piltate armed ve-la could operate. The commodities produced in the Confederate States are such as the world needs more than any other, and the nations of the earth have heretofore seat their ships to oar wharves, and there the merchants buv andreceive our cotton and tobacco. But it Is fsr otherwise with the people of the present United Statt. They are a manufacturing and commercial people. They do a large part of the carrying trade of the world.

Their ahi ps and commerce afford them the sinew of war, ana keep their industry To cripple this Industry and commerce, to destroy tbelr ships or cause them to be disman-! tied and tied up to their rotting wharves, are legitimate objects snd means of Having no new, no commercial marine out of which to Improvise public armed vessels to any considerable extent, the Confederate States were compelled to resort to the Issuance of lettere-of-marque, a mode of warfare as fully and clearly recognized by the law and usage of nations as any other arm of war. and most assuredly more humane and more cirilizeti In its practice than that which appears to hsve dls-tlngulsned the marrh of the troops of the Government of the United States upon the soil and among the villages of These facta tend to show that the practical working of the rule that forbids the entry of the public and private armed vessels of either party into British ports with prises operates exclusively to prevent the exercise ot this mode of warare by the Con- leuerate mates, while it is, to a great degree, a practical protection to the commerce and ships of the United States. In the interview already alluded to, aa well as in one of a similar character, held between your Lordship and the undersigned at a later date, the undersigned were fully aware of the relations of amity existing between Her Britannic Majesty's Government and that of Washington, and of the peculiar difficulties Into which these relations might be thrown if Her Majesty should choose to recognize the nationality of the Confederate States of America, before some decided exhibition of ability upon the part of the Government of those States to maintain itself had been Therefore they did not deem it advisable to urge Her Majesty's Government to an Immediate decision upon so grave a question, but contented themselves with a presentation of the cause of their Government, and nave quietly waited upon events to jus-. tlfy all that they bad said, with the hope that Her Majesty's Government would soon come to the conclusion that the same sense of justice, the same view of duty, under the law of natlonsJ-which caused It to recognize the fact Government' of Texas while yet a superior Mexican army was contending for supremacy upon its soQ, the iifaef Governments of the South American while 8pain still persisted in claiming to be their sovereign, and the it fuctn Governments of Greece, of Belgium, and Italy, would Induce it recognize the Government ot the Confederate States of America upon the happening of events exhibiting a deep-seated and abiding confidence that success will attend their efforts. At all events, reconstruction of the Union is an impossibility.

The brief history of the past confirms them In this belief. Since the organization of the Government of the Confederate States In February last, and since Mr. Ltneeur assumed the reins of Government in the United States, and commenced preparing his aggressive policy against the Confederated Slates, the moral weight of their position and cause, aided br the constitutional action and policy of the new President and his Cabinet, have caused four other great States, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennesee, and Arkansas, containing about 4,300,000 inhabitants, and covering an extent of valuable territory equal to that of France and Spain, to secede from the late Union and join the Confederate States while the Inhabitants of three other powerful States am wuu, ocwuikjj iuu punsuu 1 1, si, yuw aguaicu by the throes of revolution, and a large part of them are rising in arms to resist tne military despotism which, in the name of the Constitution, has been so ruthlessly, and in such utter perversion of the provisions of that Instrument, imposed upon them. The undersigned have also sufficient reason to believe that even in the northwestern part of the State of Illinois a part of the people have proclaimed open opposition to Mr. Liscois's unconstitutional and despotic Government, while in several other, public assemblies and their Legislatures have condemned the war as subversive of the Constitution.

In addition to these striking evidences of the Increased strength of the Confederate States, and of great internal weakness and division in Mr. Likcols's Government, the undersigned can proudly and confidently point to the unity which exists among the people of the eleven Confederate States, with the solitary snd unimportant exception of the extreme north-west corner of Virginia, lying between Ohio and Pennsylvania. and settled almost exclusively by Northern emigrants. Whatever differences of opinion may have been entertained among the people of the United States as to the policy of secession, there wss little difference ef opinion as to the unconstitutional causes which led to it, and often, by a fair decision at the polls, by the majority in favor of secession, as the means of expressing their liberties, the great mass of the people at once yielded ail objections, and are now engaged with their wealth and their persons in the most patriotic exertions to uphold their Government Jn the course of independence which had been de- Whatever tribute of admiration mav be yielded, for the present, to the people who submit to Mr. Lucolxi's usurping Government, for energy displayed in raising and organising an immense army for the purpose of imposing the yoke of that Government upon a people woo are struggling tor tne inestimable right of governing themselves, in order to a' preservation of their liberties, a just and impartial history will award to the people of tne confederate states an unmixed admiration for an effort which, in the space of atx months, has thrown off the authority of the usurper naa orgamzea a new government, oased upon the principles of personal and public liberty; has put that Government into operation has raised, organ-, Ized and armed an army sufficient to meet and defeat la a fair field, and drive In ignominious flight from that field the myriads of invaders which the reputed first General of the age deemed fit to crush what he termed a rebellion.

The undersigned call your Lordship's attention to the tact thst Mr. Lucoui'S Government, though possessed of all the. advantages of a more numerous population, of the credit due to a recognized Gov ernment ot long continuance, the enure navy of the late Union, has not been able to retake a alnele fortification of which the Confederate States pos- aeed themselves but. on the contrary, haa been. driven out of a mighty fortress upon the Atlantic, and from several forte oa the Western frontier, by the Confederate arms that it haa not been able to advance more than five miles into tha territory of any of the Confederate States where there waa any serious attempt to prevent it and Is in dsnger of losing three great States of tha Union by insurrection.

Even at sea. upon which the Government of Luoou possesses undisputed way, tt haa not been able to make an effectual block-ace of a single port but tnose which find aa outlet through the aaoutik of the Chesapeake Bay vessels of avery class, public and private, armed vessels belonging ta the Confederate States, and traders, having found their way la and out of every other port at which the attempt haa beea made. In everything that constitutes tha material of war, thus far the Confederate States have supplied themselves from their own resources, unaided by that free Intercourse with the world which has been open to the United States. Men, arms, munitions of war of every description, have bean supplied la ample abundance to defeat all attempts to successfully invade our borders. Money has been obtained ia tha Confederate State in sufficient quantity.

Every loan that has been put upoa the market has beea taken at and above par, and the undersigned but state tit universal impression and belief of their Government and their. fellow-citizens In the Confederate States, that, no matter hat may be the demand tor meana to defend their country against invasion, sufficient re-m' ofevery character, and sufficient patriotism to furnish them, exist within the Confederate Slates for that purpose. The undersigned are aware that an Impression has prevailed, eveala what may be termed well -ta termed Circles in Europe, that Ue slave holding States are poor, and wot abla to sustain a prolonged wha tha non-siawebohitiig Stales of tha North.

As the army commenced Its march, the commanding uvnerai an order that no slaves should bere-ceived into, or allowed to follow, tha camp. The great object ot the war, therefore, as now officially announced, it. not to free the slave, but to keep hlnv in subuM-tinn to bis owaer. and to con trol his Ulior through the legislative channels which the Lincuin 1 1 Government derurns to force unou tlie master.

The undersigned. theiefure. submit with confidence that as far as the atiti-SlRverv vMimeritPt England is concerned, it can hare no with the North nay, it wlil proo- ably Kirurted with a canting hypocrisy which oult! i hox- sympathies on false pretences. Tbe underM- re me, however, not Insensible to the sur mise that iru- ii coin Government may, under stress of clii-itin. r.ef, change its policy, a policy based at present more upon a wily view of liht to oe its effect In rearing uo an dement iii tiiu Confederate States favorable to the of the Union than upon any honest des.ie to upheld a main provi sions ol wnuu has most shamelessly violated, but they confidently submit to your Lordship's eonnldera- uon, tnai in producing so abrupt ana violent destruction of a system of labor which has reared up so vat a rommtrce between America and the great Smtesof En-orie.

which, it ta supposed, now irivea bri-ad to of the population of those States, which, it mav be safely assumed, Is intimately blended with the husls of the great manufacturing and navigating prosperity that distinguishes the age, and probably not tne ieot of the elements of this prosperity, would be visited with results disastrous to tbe world, as well as to the master and slave. Resort to seirile war has. tt Is true, a we have here tofore stated, not been proolatned, but officially abandoned. It a been, however, recommended by per sons of influence in the United States, and when alt other means shall fall, as the undersigned assure your Lordship ihey wUl. to bring the Confederate States Into subjection to the power of Mr.

Lixcoui's Government, It Is by no means improbable that it may be Inaugurated. Whenever it shall be done, however, the niotite, tt Is now rendered clear, will not be that high philanthropic consideration which undoubtedly Deau iu tne hearts oi many in cngianu, out tne base feeling of selbsh aggrandisement, not unmixed with-a cowardly spirit of revenge. The undersigned call your Lordship attention to what is nw so publicly known as a fact to the great battle of Bull Run. three miles la front of Msnassas Junction, in which a well-appointed army ot 52,000 Federal sol Hers gave battle to the Confederate States at my of Inferior force. After nine hours' hard fighting, the Federalists were defeated and driven from tle field in otn fight, and were pursued by the Con tederata States army to tentreviue, ine position of the Federal reserve.

The enemy lost honor and nearly all the 'arms, and munitions of mar which had been so Industriously gath ered together for months for an offensive cam paign In Vliglnla and they did not cease their flight until, under cover of a stormy night, they had regain ed the shelter of their intrench roenta tn front of Washington. The Confederate Mates forces have commenced offensive movements, and have driven the vaunting hosts of the United States behind in-trenchments upon the borders of Virginia, and so far fioin threatening tha Integrity of the territory and the existence ol the Government of the Confederate States, the Government at Washington seems content at present, and will be rejoiced, If it can maintain a successful defence of its capital, and preserve the remnant of its defeated and disorganized forces. Tbe undersigned would also ask your Lordship's attention to tlie fret that the cotton-picking season in the cotton-growing Statea of the Confederacy has commenced. The crop bids fair to be at least an av erage one, and will be prepared for market and delivered by our planters and merchants as usual, on the wharves of the ports of those States, when there shall be a prospect of the blockade being raised, and not before. As a defensive measure, an embargo has been laid by the Government of the Confederate States upon the passage of cotton by Inland conveyance to! the United States.

To be obtained, It must be sought for in the Atlantic and Gulf ports of those States. They submit to your Lordship the consideration of the fact that the blockade ot ail tne pons oi we womeueraie states waa declared to have commenced by the blockading officer off Charleston, when, in truth, at tbat time, and for weeks after, there waa no pretence of a blockade of the ports in the Gulf. They submit for considera tion that since tne estaoiunmeni oi tne oiocnaae mere have been repeated instances ol vessels breaking it at Wilmington, Charleston, savannah, aiooue and Orleans. It will be for the neutral Powers, whose commerce has been so seriously damaged, to deter mine how long such a blockade shall be permitted to Interfere with their commerce. In closing this communication, the undersigned desire to nrge upon Her Britannic Majesty's Government the just claim hich, in their opinion, tbe Government ot the states naa at wis Time to a recognition facto whether Its internal peace, or its ter ritory, iu population, it great resources for both domestic and loreign commerce, ana lis power to maintain Itself, are considered or whether your Lordship shall take mto.conslderauon tne necessitv of commercial relations being established with it, with a view to the preservation of vast Interests of the commerce of England.

If, however, in the opinion of Her Britannic Majesty's Government, the Confederate States have not yet won right to a place among the nations of the earth, the; undersigned can only assure your Lordship that while such an announcement will te received with surprise by the Gov ernment they represent, and while that Govern ment is to be left to contend lor interest which, it thinks, ate aa Important to commercial Europe as to Itself, without even a friendly countenance from other nations, Iu citizens will buckle themselves to the great task before them with a vigor and determination that will iustlfv the undersigned in having pressed the question upon her Britannic Majesty's Government and hen peace shall have been made, their Government will at least feel that it will not be iiistlv responsible for the vast quantity of blood which shall nave been sned. nor tor xna great and wide-spread suffering which so prolonged a conflict will have entailed upon millions of the human race, both in tbe Eastern, as well aa upon tha North American Continent.

Supposing, however, that Mr. Ltaoour, acting under bad advice, should endeavor to provide excitement for tlie puh'ic mind by raising questions with 'Great Britain, Her Majesty's Government feels nohesutlon as to the policy they would pursue.

They would, in the first place, be very forbearing. They would show by their acta how highly they value tbe relations of peace and amity with the United States. But they would take care to let the Government which multiplied provocations, and sought for quarrels, un derstand tnat tneir loroearance sprung irom tne consciousness of strength, and not from the timidity of weakness. warn a Government which was making political out of blustering demonstrations, tbat our patience might be tried too far. If this tone is taken when necessary, and only when neces- sary, I have no feara that tbe American Republic will seek a quarrel with a nation sprung from the same Sarents, and united by languaie as well as by tics of indred, and a long period of friendly intercourse; in uay j.

Russell reports the substance of a conversation he had held with Messrs. Yamcbt, Rom and Mass, the delegates" from the Confederate Slates: tons i. bcssxll to Loan irons. jroaaiaa Ornce, May 11, 1661. Mr Loan: On Saturday last I received at mv house Mr.

Yaacar. Mr. Mass. and Judce Rose, the three gentlemen deputed by the Southern Confederacy to obtain their recognition as an independent State. One of these gentlemen, speaking for tbe others, dilated on the causes which had Induced the Southern States to secede from the Northern.

Tbe principal of these causes, he said, was not Slavery, but the very high price men, for the sake oi protecting the Northern manufacturers, the South were obliged to pay for the manufactured goods which they required. One of the first acts of the Southern Congress wa to reduce those duties, and, to prove their sincerity, be gave as an Instance that Louisiana bad given up altogether that protection on her sugar which she enjoved by the legislation of the United Statea. As a proof of the Tidies of the South, he stated that of $330,000,000 of exports to foreign countries, ,270,000,000 were furnished by the Southern States. I said that I could hold no official communication with the delegates of tne nouinern states, i nau nowever, wnen tne question of recognition came to be formally discussed, there were two points upon which Inquiry must be made: first, whether the body seeking recognition could maintain its' position as an independent State secondly, in what manner it was proposed to maintain relations with i foreign States. After speaking at some length on the first of these pointj, and alluding to the news of the secession of Virginia and othe intelligence favorable to their cause, these gentlemen called my attention to the article in their Constitution prohibiting the slave-trade.

I said that it waa alleged very currently that If the 81ave States found that they could not compete successfully with the cotton of other countries, they would revive the slave-trade for the purpose of diminishing the cost of production. They said this waa a suspicion unsupported by any proof. Tbe fact was that they had prohibited the Slave-trade, and did not mean to revive it. They pointed to the new tariff of the United States, as a proof that British manufactures would be nearly excluded from the North, and freely admitted in the South, uther observations were made, out not of very ereat importance: The delegates concluded bv statine that they should remain In London for the present, in the hope that the recognition of the Southern Confederacy would not be long delayed.

There are several dispatches relating to the mission of a secret agent of the Federal Government to Canada, and his recall in consequence of remonstrances from Lord Lions, and with regard to the closing of the Southern ports by decree, which neither the British nor the French Government were prepared to recognize. The arrests of Mr. Patxici and Mr. Rah mix the visit of the Sumter to Trinidad, the alleged violation of British territory by United Stales soldiers, and an attempt to enlist men in Canada, afforded matter for much conversation" between the Cabinets.

I replied that the two Governments were constantly in confidential communication on the present state of this country, but that I did not know of anything of a special character which had lately passed between them oh the subject.

The undersigned. Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign A flairs, has the honor to in lorm Mr. Ams, Eavoy Extraordinary aad Minister Pteiiipoteniiaiv of the United Stales at this Court, that his note of the 22d lost, has been the subject of careful and anxious consideration of Her Majesty'a Government, Mr. Adams, after reciting the capture and destruction by fire of the United States merchant ship-on tna high aeas by order of the commanuer of the armed steamer called the JYesftsuile, ami the aubaeqeeni arrival of the NoMkviUt in the port of Southampton, asks for an Inquiry as to two classes of facts th first, as to tlie authority possessed by this vessel to oora-mit so aggressive an act on tha citizens of a friendly power, and then to claim a refuge in the harbors of Great Britain the second, in case the nature of that authority be deemed sufficient, at least tn view Her Majesty's Government, as to the purposes tor whichthe ship Is alleged to have come across the ocean, to tha making more eilectlve preparations in the ports of Great Britain lor carrying oa whr against the people of a friendly nation." Her Majesty'a Government have directed their ln- Sutnes to both these points, and also to the state of te law as applicable to the facts thus by them ascer-talned. With regard to the firat point, the undersigned has to state that the Nashville appears to be a Confederate vessel of war.

her Commander and officers have, commissions in tlie so-styled Confederate navy i some, of them have written orders from lhs Navy Department at Richmond to report to Lieut. PaaaaaM for duty "on board the Nashville, and her crew have signed articles to ship In the Confederate navy. In these circumstances tlie act uuue oy tne xaf Ule, of capturing and burning on the high seas a merchant vessel oi tne uniieu states, caunoi cuu-shiered as an act voluntarily undertaken by Individ uals not vested with powers generally acknowledged to be necessary to justify aggressive warfare," nor docs It at all "approximate within the definition of piracy." aiK-n being tne answer oi xxer a uuveru-rnent on the first point raised by Mr. Awns, the un- deraigwed passes to the second. he unuersuraed staiea 10 ir.

apimj, in uis informal note ot the 83d Inst, thst he had already given directions that no infringement of the Foreign Enlistment act should be permitted in regard to the A'esh-vtile. In fact, directions had already been given to prevent the Nashville from augmenting her warlike force within Her Mates y's jurisdiction, in contrarcn. tion of the Foreign Enlistment act. With respent to the allegation made by Mr. Adams, that tome of tbe officers of the Nashville are to be put in command of vessels now fitting out in British ports for purposes hostile to the Government of the United Slates, the undersigned can only say.

that if reasonable evidence can be procured to that effect, all parties concerned, bo shall be acting in contravention of the Foreign Enlistment act, shall be legally proceeded against, with a view to tbe punishment of tne persons ana 10 me loneirure oi ine vessels. Havinc thus answered Mr. Adams upon the two points to which his attention was called, the undersigned has only further to say that, if, in order to main tain inviolate the neutral character which tier Majesty has assumed. Her Majesty'a Government should nod it necessarv to adopt further measures, within the limits of public law. Her Majesty will be advised to adopt such measures.

It is the earnest desire of Her Majesty to preserve intact the friendly relations between Her Majesty and the United States of America. The undersigned, etc. MB. adams TO iarl BtBSELL (Received Dec. 3.) Lsoatioii or tub Utrrrxn Statu, Lorooa, Dec.

I think it necessary to state to you that, except in case of stress of weather forcing them to land, her Majesty's Government cannot permit armed men In the service of a foreign Government to land upon British ground.

therefore, request that you will inform the Captain ot the Federal steamer in Southampton Water that he must refrain from acta of this kind, which may lead to a collision between his men and the British au-Lhoritities. I hare also to Inform you that no set of hostility ean be permitted between the Federal steamer and its enemy within British waters, and that orders to that effect will be issued to the Board of Admiralty. In the case of the Naskviile leaving British waters, the Federal steamer of war will net be permitted to start from British waters, in pursuit of her, till after the expiration of 24 hours. The same rule will be applied to the vessels of the so-called Confederate Statea. I am, Ac.
