England and the North. The reported determination of the English Admiral off the American coast to break the blockade is giving special uneasiness, as well it may, in those Northern cities which have sought to take away our liberties for the benefit of their commerce. That such an interposition by England will take place, sooner or later, is what they feel to their heart's core. The extraordinary exasperation manifested towards Great Britain by the Northern press finds its solution, not in anything she has done, but in what with good reason, they apprehend she will do. In declaring her perfect neutrality between the two sections, and even in acknowledging the South as a belligerent, whilst, as yet, she has accorded us in relation to prizes taken by our privateers, none of the rights of a belligerent nation, she has given no just cause for that outburst of indignation which has issued from the whole Northern press. The real motive of all this outcry is that the shrewd, com

r his acceptance. Privateering. The following preamble and resolution, touching points of maritime law decided by the Congress of Paris in 1856, were adopted by the Congress of the Confederate States on the 8th inst.: Whereas, it has been found that the uncertainty of maritime law, in time of war, has given rise to differences of opinion between neutrals and belligerents, which may occasion serious misunderstandings and even conflicts; and whereas, the Plenipotentiaries of Great Britain, France, Austria, Prussia, Sardinia and Russia, at the Congress of Paris of 1856, established an uniform doctrine on this subject, to which they invited the adherence of the nations of the world, which is as follows: 1. That privateering is and remains abolished; 2. That the neutral flag covers the enemy's goods, with the exception of goods contraband of war; 3. That neutral good is, with the exception of contraband of war, are not liable to capture under the enemy's flag

By the recognized universal public law of all the earth, war dissolves all political compacts. Our forefathers gave as one of their grounds for asserting their independence, that the king of Great Britain had " dicated Government here by declaring us out of his protection, and waging war upon us". The people and Government of the Northern States of the late Union have acted in the same manner toward Missouri and have dissolved, by war, the connection heretofore existing between her and them. The General Assembly of Missouri, the recognized political department of our Government, by an act approved May 10th, 1861, entitled "An act to authorize the Governor of the State of Missouri to

ly opposed to their existence a separate and independent nation. His last speech in the House of London was delivered in opposition to a proposal to recognize the thirteen Colonies as States. According to his view, it was the true policy of Great Britain to keep them in leading strings — to discourage all attempts on their part to establish manufactories of their own — to keep them forever dependent on the mother country for every necessary of life that did not spring immediately out of the ehe water, or that required the skill of the artificer to render it fit for use. His ruling idea was, that the British Colonies were useful to the British Nation only in so far as they contributed to develop and extend the commercial system of Great Britain. America was a great market for English productions. It boasted a population of nearly three millions, and of these all were purchasers. It was a suicidal policy, he thought, to imperil the continued existence of such a market, merely for
