In the House of Commons on the 13th, Mr. White put in a question as to whether the Govern= ment intended to withdiaw belligerent mybts rom the so called Confederate States. Lord Pola retos said the course of the transaction with regard tothe betiigerent rightafof the two par- ties was this: The President of the United States issned @ proclamation declaring the blockade of all the coast and certain ports of the Southern Contederacy, in accordance, he said, with the law of nations, Now, a blockade, areording to the law of nations, is a belligerent right which can omy accrue to States whieh are at war. Whew the President declared that a blockade was established, the only course was to acknow- ledge his night tu do se as a belligerent, and sub- wit to it. That necessarily invelved that the other party, Who was @ belligerent, was eutitled to be so considered. Ot course, whenever the United States ceased to exercise the right they now claimed, there would be no necessity for ace kuowledying belligerent rights either ov one side ov the other.

In the House of Lords Lord Houghton made a similar ingtiry, the term * congession of belli- gerent rights.” Ear] Russell repiied in substance similar te Lord Palmerston, but objected to the wording of the question and to the time of patting it as must inopportune.
