These, therefore, are to declare that I do no longer recognize the said George Moore as Her Britannic Majesty's Consul in any part of these confederate States, nor permit him to exercise or enjoy any of the functions, powers, or privileges allowed to the consuls of Great Britain. And I do wholly revoke and annul any Exequatur heretofore given to the said George Moore by the government which was formerly authorized to grant such Exequatur as agent of the State of Virginia, and do declare the said Exequatur to be absolutely null and void from this day forward.

The President has the less reluctance in imposing this restriction because of the ample facilities for correspondence which are now afforded by the fleets of confederate and neutral steamships engaged in regular trade between neutral countries and the confederate ports.

You are instructed by the President to furnish a copy of this despatch, with a copy of the papers appended, to her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, J. P. Benjamin, Secretary of State. Hon. James M. Mason, Commissioner, etc. etc., London.

, excepting only those who have been twice convicted of desertion. Finally, I conjure my countrywomen, the wives, mothers, sisters and daughters of the Confederacy--to use their all-powerful influence in aid of this call, to add one crowning sacrifice to those which their patriotism has so freely and constantly afforded on their country's altar, and to take care that none who owe service in the field shall be sheltered at home from the disgrace of having deserted their duty to their families, to their country, and to their God. seal.
