More stringent regulations had been published relative to furnishing coal to belligerent American war vessels in British ports. The Solicitor General of England, in a speech to his constituents, alluded to the efforts made by the Government to preserve neutrality in respect to the American war, and to enforce the Foreign Enlistment act. For these efforts he claimed the approval of his hearers. He spoke strongly in favor of non-intervention. The schooner Yorktown, from Cleveland, Ohio, had arrived in England, after being chased by a rebel privateer off Newfoundland.

To such a man, the people of the so-called United States their lives, their liberties, their persons, and their purses, to have and to hold the same for four years, and for so much longer as he shall For it is plain that, if he so will it, he may for his natural life, and transmit the sceptre to the descendants.
