It will have come to your knowledge, by the reception of my despatch No.
131, of the 13th of March, that I had already acted in conformity with
the suggestions contained in your No. 207, dated on the 11th, by
- addressing, a note to Earl Russell in remonstrance against the
- notorious activity of the subjects of Great Britain in efforts to set at
- nought the blockade. To that communication I have not yet received a
- reply. The reception of a letter from Mr. Dudley, the consul at
- Liverpool, containing additional information to the same effect,
- supplied me with a new occasion to write to his lordship in the spirit
- of your despatch No. 196, of the 27th of February. A copy of this latest
- note, dated the 26th instant, is herewith transmitted. After a full
- conversation with Mr. Morse, we both arrived at the conclusion that the
- evidence in our possession would not sustain so broad a position as that
- contemplated in your letter; for, whatever may have been the purposes of
- the confederate emissaries and their friends pending the difficulties
- connected with the Trent case—and I am inclined to believe they went to
- the full extent indicated—I fancy they have shrunk within much smaller
- compass since that speck of war has disappeared. The activity is now
- mainly directed to the expediting of every species of supply through the
- means of steam vessels, which may themselves be turned to some account
- in the way of illicit trade or of piratical warfare. Of these last the
- Oreto seems to be the only one likely to prove formidable. I thought it,
- therefore, a good opportunity to place upon his lordship the
- responsibility of the consequences of permitting himself to be deluded
- by what I cannot help thinking the wilful blindness and credulous
- partiality of the British authorities at Liverpool. From the experience
- of the past, I have little or no confidence in the success of any
- application that may be made of the kind. It is not the less important,
- for all that, to perpetuate the testimony for future use. That Great
- Britain did, in the most terrible moment of our domestic trial in
- struggling with a monstrous social evil she had earnestly professed to
- abhor, coldly and at once assume our inability to master it, and then
- become the only foreign nation steadily contributing in every indirect
- way possible to verify its prejudgment, will probably be the verdict
- made up against her by posterity on a calm comparison of the evidence. I
- do not mean to say that such has been the course of the whole people. A
- considerable portion of them in all classes have been actuated by nobler
- views. There is, throughout England, a great deal of warm though passive
- sympathy with America. But there is likewise an extraordinary amount of
- fear as well as of jealousy. And it is these last passions which have
