Perhaps it may not be out of place to present a few examples by which to show the true nature of the neutrality professed in this war. In May, 1861, the government of Her Britannic Majesty assured our enemies that the sympathies of this country [Great Britain] were rather with the North than with the South. On June 1, 1861, the British government interdicted the use of its ports to armed ships and privateers, both of the United States and the so-called Confederate States, with their prizes.

There were gathered Phelps's Vermont regiment, and another from Troy, N. Y.; and soon afterwards they were joined by a well-disciplined regiment of Zouaves, under Col.
