Wasui.noton, Miy 2, ISfil.
M v Lotto,—I have the honor to enclose you a copy of
the note by which I acknowledged the receipt ot Mr
Bewaro’a t ot- o! the 27 h u.t., announcing the intention
eit this Government let se-t on foot a blockade of the
Southern pons. 1 was carelnl so to word my note as to
show that 1 accepted Mr. Seward's communication as an
announcement ot an iutenliou to set on loot a blockade,
not tisu notification of the actual commencement ol one.
1 believe that most ot my ctheaguis made answers in the
same sense.
1 have the honor to transmit to your h nit-hip copies
of the President’s proclamaiiou, announcing the n et
ion of the I lockadu to the ports of Virginia and North
Carolina, which have been sent to me in a blank cover
from tbe Slate Department.
1 have made n my business, since the entrance of the
present Adiuinistrat.ou into cilice nearly two mouths
ago, to endeavor to ascertain pi ready their intentions
wiiti tegatd to the commerce ot totcigu tm ions with the
States wtiich have withdtawn Ircm the Union. Up to
tbe day before the Lloekaoe waaannounced, the Govern
iu-irt nad uot itscll come to any decision on the subject.
Nor did I think it expedient to press it to make any dec
laration so long as tne cotutm re al eperatioets of British
luerchanls and Briiish vessels in the a ceded States wr. re
earned cn without hindrance and without iuconvtoicice.
But since the blockade has bceu piodaitned, 1 bate
thought myself entitled to a k, ui.li persistence, lor
difii tic tutormation respeclirg the mode in which it is
to be ctriitd into ilftCt. i had sit particular a long con
versation on ibeiuLj.ct with Mr. Seward in presence ol
tbe thiel tleik ol the State Depar.ment, ou tbo 29 b
ultimo. I ht.d j«r. pated Mr. Steward lor tbe iuterview by
huggestii g to him, ttirougli the Under Secretary ol State,
ibo hdv sablenees of diminishing the disagreeable Im
pression which the auouunee merit of tbe blockade wou.tl
make abroad, by giving, as soon ns possible, definite as
surances that it would be carried on with a l.bcral cun
sideration fur the interests ot loreiga nations.
8o far as ussurarces in gitural terms go, notbirg
eouhl be n ore satitluctoiy than Mr Sewird s language.
I Old not, however, succeed in obtaining at ibe time as
a< finite a declaration of me rules which would be ob
HCivcd us i t.ad hoped.
The principal poiut to which I drew Mr. Seward's at
leution »a» tfie extreme vagueness of the information
which was given to us. I rclcrred him 10 the notitica
lions ot tl- tkidcs madefy Great Britain during tbe la'o
war w.tb Russia, aod pointed out to him the care nna
prcc-ltiou with wl.ch every pariiculer was stated in
itiHu. i H i. d wnetntr il irminji u to issue Miniinr
uo-i.e-for tacd boulhern port as soon as the actual
blockade (I should tOtunic-.iCe.
The reply which I received wa«, that Ihe practice <f
the United S ates was not to issue such notices, but to
notilvlhv blockade individually to each vessel approach
ing me nloc'esded pen, uud to inscribe a memorandum
ol toe notice having been g.vcu on the ship’s pap. r->.
Vo rr?f :i was liable to seizure which had net bee ■ indi
vidually warned Tnis plan had, 1 was assured, been
found to b in pn-clice the most convenient and the
fairest for u!l parties. The laot cf there being blotl.
admg ship.- prooent to give the w.iruing ».u* the best no
tice ti d b« et proof that the nor. wag ectuilly and tffrcl
ually blockaded.
The principal oljection to the i Jan appeared to mo to
be, t. r.i ii might iu come costs • xpose foreign ve-acls to
the loss and in convenience cf making a u-tiees voyage,
whieh a more neneral and public announcement of the
blockade would have prevented.
1 obMivtd to Mt. B-ward that the limits of the block
ade which it was intend, d to eslab.Uh wete not clear.v
star. d. It was Lot easy to understand exactly to wha’
extmtof coast the expris-on “the por'g wiihiu” the
.v.its m> ntioned was ap-lirnhle. Jdr Seward said that
n was intei did to blockado the whole coast from Cho- v
[I ttke Bay to the mouth of toe K-o Grande. I observed
,o nim that tho ext* Lt of the coast b. tween these two
points vi1.., I supposed, about 8,i*00 mile*. Surely the
United S ate*. hid no' a i.aval force suflicieut to is’sb
li-li an ill.-olive Llotkade of such a length of coast. Mr.
Sewaid, however, maintained that the whole wuU.d he
blockaded, and blotkiJ. d t Ikc’ively.
1 mar, perhaps, be allowed to refer your lordship to a
clear declaration of the principles of the United Stales
on such matters which is contained in a no.e from Mi.
Buchanan, dated 2'.*.b December, In-M, and ir.i smitled
to tin* Foreign-! flice in Sir U.chard i’akenhaui’d di.-patcb
of the name date.
Mr. Seward assured me that all forrgin vcssila al
ready iu port when the blockade ehould be set on foot
wonl.l tie al.owid to come on: will their cargoes. I
a-ked whether they would he all wed to come out «i b
cargoes shipped alter the blockade was actually estah
Is .cJ. Mr Seward did not speak positively on this
point; whut hr said seemed to imply mat the time at
ijh the cargo wa...-L.i•;il would no; be inquired ini i
I said that I tuppo-ed that it was clearly uudtratood
that foreign ships coming out t f blockaded ports iu
which there was no U iu-d S ates customs au boii.iea
would not be iuUifer d with by the blockading squad
roti, on the plea of tl eir being without clturaucea or
o’her I apt rs r< qtilred by the revenue 1 iws.
Mr Seward raid ihat it was the bora fid-intention of
G'lvervim tit to allow fort icu vessels already in p.iri when
the blockade w-a esiabli-iicd to depart without moles-ta
tlon.
lie uid not fay that any { articular term would he
fix-d alter the i xpiratiun of w hich Icreign vessels would
no longi r be showed to quit blockaded porie.
He did not repeal to me the usauraoce he give some
i it Vri arriving
without a knowledge of the blockade would be allowed
to to into a I lock ided purl atol come ou' ug tin.
Nor did he say anything of the intention, which het x
pre: s -d to another of my collengoiB, of propnsirg to the
I,, gialrtture that the l.'uit. d .mhui. should uuhere to the
ft duration of the Congress ol Pariaon Maritime law.
On v . prr v • me, her in wri
»i g, oral id cveuts by a formal veib.-l announcement,
a-me d. finite informaiiou lor the guidance of lliitiah mer
chant vissels, ho promised to send me a copy of the in
- (ructions i« u d to the i flicirs of the blockading rquad
run, and said he was confident I should find them per
.ecly tati-fueterv. He was good enough to add that, if
in anv individutl cases the tides ol the blockade slioulJ
bear hardly on HrilieU vessels, he ahould be ready to con
sider the equity of the matter, and to ncsive favorably
uiiy representations wbicli I might make on hohalf ol
the interests of British subjects.
Mr. Seward has not yei sent me the copy of the in
strmtioua. I reminded nun, nowever, yemerauv, oi uis
promise, (.Ml I hope that he will enable in- to trim ini’ »
eopy to yonr Lordship by the British packet which will
leave New Yotk on the 8 b instant.

[Extract] Wahhikotiih, May 4.
In my dispatch cf the 2d inet. 1 hud the honor to re
port to your lordship that Mr. Seward bud premised, on
tbe 2'J.li ult. to senJ me a copy of tbe instructions issued
in the officers of tbe squadtou to be employed in block
ading the Southern ports.
I u* k miosur*s, thia moraine, to remind Mr. Seward
privately of his promise. In return I received the fol
lowing communication from the State I) •pariment:
“ The Secretary cf the navy has famished us with a
copy of i is instructions nbcut the blockade, but as we
have not been able to tird a precedent lor cotr.muuicu
tiog them to the Ministers of Foreign Governments, you
must not expect a copy at present. You may, however,
be thus informally assured that the blockade will be con
ducted as bitictlv according to the recognized rubs of
public liw, und with as u.u:k liberality towards neutrals,
*s any blockade ever was by a belligerent."
Upon this. I caused Mr Buchanan's note to Mr. Pakett
ham cf the 20th of December, 1816, to be pointed outto
M.-. iowtrd, as supplying a precedent for the coulidcntial
communication oi instructions couceruit g a blockade.
The following was written to me iD answer:
“l have showed Mr. Seward the precedent to which
you refer, but he does not tLiuk it would justify him iu
furnishing a copy of the instructions; for, if given tc
one, they must be given to all, which might lead to thi ir
inconvenient pub!ic!ty. Tho blockade, however, will be
in strict conformity to the principles mentioned by Mr
Buchanan. The proclamation is mere notice ol an in
tention to carry it into ifleet, aud the existence of the
Mmkade will he unde knoan iu proper form by the
blockadirg vessel?."
I nave the henor to transmit to your lordship coph s
of a note add ess.d by Mr. Seward to the Spanish Minis
ter hen; and of an article inserted in the Washington
newspaper which is regarded as the organ of the Adtuin
ts'ration. These documents appear to contain ail the
positive information which h»s hitherto been elicited
ctDeeming the mode in which the blockade wifi be con
ducted.
I have been informed, but not directly or officially that
in no case will levs than fifteen days Irom the effective
establishment cf the blot ksde at each point be allowed
for merchant vessels already in pert to take their de
parture, and that the tflective blockade of the mou'ks
of the Mississippi will not begin until the 25 th of thi.'
month.

1, Proclamation of the President of the United Sfi'es,
dat'd April 27, announcing his intention to blockade

MR. BUSSELL’S CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE
LONDON TIMES.
CuaKLEsroii, S C., April .'id.
Nn-hlng I could say can ho worth one fact which
has forced itsell upon my mind in reh recce to thesenti
raents which prevail smong the gentlemen of this Bute.
1 have been among them for several days. I have visit
ed their plantations; I have conversed with them freely
and fully, and I have enjoyed that frank, courteous a- H
graceful intercourse which coustitu es an irresht b e
charm of their society. From ail quarters have come to
my cars the echoea of the same voice; it may be f.igned
but there i» no discord in the note, and it sounds in
woudorful strength and mot ot <uy all ovtr the touii
rv. S ades of G -orge III., ot North, of Johnson, of til
wrtio contended against the great rebell ou which tore
t iei! colonies from Euglaud, can you hear the eberc*
»hich rings through the State of Marion, Sumter a ,d
Pinckney, and i Lp your ghostly hands iu triumph v That
voice savs: “If we could only get one ot the royal race
0f England to rule over us, we should be conteut.” Let
ib re bo naiuirconcepion ou this point. That svnti
ment, varied in a hundred ways, has been repeated to me
over and over again.
Tin re is a general admission that the me .ins to such
«n end are wanting, uud that the de-ire cannot be g-ati
tied. Hut the adm ration for monsrchical itistitutioi a on
the K gtirh rncdel, for privileged classes, and for a land
'd aristocracy and gentry, is undisguised, and apparent
lv gcuuine. VS i’ll the pride of having achieved their
independence is mingled in the South Osro!iniaon’ l ent
a strauge regret at the results and consequences, and
raanv ate they who “would go bai k to motrow if we
could.” An intense affection lor the Bri ish conueci on.
s love of Biiti-h habits and cuttonw, a r.sp-ct for Brit
ish sentiment, law, authority, order, civil r .tion and lit
erafttre, pre-eminently distinguish the inhabitants ol
this Stair, who, glorying in thrir descent from andent
families ou the three islands, whose fortunes they still
follow, and with whore members they maintain not un
frequent1 r fa mi hr editions, r. gard with an aversion, of
which it is impassible to give an idea to one who has ro'
s en the in mtestaione, the p ople of New England ai d
the populations of the Northern Slates, whom they regard
as tainted beyond cure by the venom of “Puritanism ’
Whatever may he the cause, this is the fict and .he
• fleet. “The State of South Carolina 1 am told,
“founded by gentlemen." It was not established by
witch-burning Puritans, by cruel, persecuting fanatics,
W.o implanted in the North the standard of Torqui mails,
and breathed i ito the nostril* of their new I , born colo
nics ull ibn feicci'T, blood hirsliuess, and tabid intoler
anee of the Inqui-itton. It is absoiuldv asuiundmg to
a stranger, who aims at the preservation of a deceut
• eutrrlty, to maik the violence of th. se opinions. “II
that confounded ship had sunk with those-Pilgrim
Fathers on board, ’says one, "*e never should have
been driven to these extremities!” “We could have
got on with the fanatics if they hed been ei her Chris
tians or gentlemen," nays another; “for in the ttret case
they would have acted with common charity, and in the
second, they wou'd have fought when lh*y insulted us,
but there are neither Christiana nor gentlemen amoi g
them!" "Aoylhieg ou the eartb!" exclaims a third,
“auy form of Government, any tyranny or despoti.-m
vou will; but”—and here is an appeal more terrible than
a .i,.ration of all the Gods—'“nothing on earth shall
ever induce us to submit to any union with tbe bruttl,
bigoted blackguards of the Nr* England States, who
neither comprehend nor regard the! t lings of geutlemei.!
M^u, wotutu, and child, we’ll di.) first." Imagine
these and an infinite variety of similar sentiment*
uttered b> courtly, well-educated men, who set great
stiiro on a nice observance r f the usages of society, at.d
who are only moved to extreme bitterness and angvr
when they spi>.k o! the North, and ton will fail 10 con
ceive the iu.ensity oi the dial ke of the £outu i .in*l i.i.n 8
lor the free Stales. There are t ationul antipathies on
oar side of tbe Atlantic which are tok-eab'y ationg, and
have been uufortm.at.ly pertinacious and lot" live'.
The hatred of tbe l alieii f..r th<> TedescO, of the Greek
for the Turk, of the Turk for the Russ, is waim and
fierce enough to satisfy the Prince of Darkness, not to
speak ol a lew little pet aversions among allied powers
,.ud the atoms of composite empires; bat they are all
mere indifference and neutrality of f.-eiiug comparod to
the animosity evinced bv the ‘‘gentry" of South Carolina
for the “rabble of the North.”
The contest of Carrier and Roundhead of Vcnd. au
ai d Republican, even the Orangeman and Croppy, h »ve
been elegant j matings, regulated by the finest rules of
chivalry, compared with tln.se which North and South
will carty out if their deeds support their wotdj.
“Immoit.il hate, tho study of revenge," wiil actu*t*
every blow, aud never ia the history of tbo wn ld,
perhaps, will go forth such a dreadful t.r u' tit
ss that which may be heard before the fi^ht has
begun. Theie is nothing in all tbe dark ewes of
humAn passion so ciuel aid dead.y as the hatted
he South Carolinians prof.ss for the Yankees.—
That hatred has been swelling for years, till it is the
very life blood of tbe State. It has set South Caro iea
to wo-k steadily to orgvuize her resources lor the stmg
qle which she intended to provoke if it did not come n
the course of time. “Incompatibility of temper" would
have been sufficient ground for the divorct; and I am
siti-fied that there has been a deep rooted df sign, con
ceived iu some men’* minds thirty yearsrg >, and exumd
ed gradually, year after year, to otheis, to break away
from the niiio’n at the very first opportunity. The North
i. to South Carolina a corrupt and evil thing, to which,for
long years, she hid been bound by burning chaius, while
monopolist* and manufacturers fed on her teuder limbs.
Sh* has b;en bound in a 41tzjntian union to the olj-ct
she loathes. New England is to her the iscarcaticu of
moral and political wit k-daees and social corruption. It
is the source of everything which South Carolina haVs,
and of the lotrsnts of free thought and taxed ma t ifae
tures, of abolitionism and of filibustering, which have
Hooded the land Believing a Southern man as he b< lieves
himself, and you must regard New England and the
kindred £ la tea as tbe birth-place of impurity of mind
among men and of oncbaatiiy in women—tbe borne
of free love, cf Fourierism, of ir fidelity, of abo‘i
iioniser, of fils:* teachings in political ecooomy ard social
life; a land saturated with tbe drippings of rotum phi
losophy, with tbe poisonous infection* of a fanatic t res*;
without hotter or modesty; whose valor and manhood
hare been swallowed up io a corrupt, bowling dema
gogy, and in the marts of a dishonest commerce. It is
the merchants of New York who fit out ships for the
slave trace, end carry it on iu Yaakee ships- It is the
capital of the North wtkh supports, and it ia Northern
I men who concoct and ex,cut**, the filibustering cxpe i

' know how to think, a> d they are the e ay victims ol the

assuredly the New Ho;*land demon, who has been perse

the statement may appear to bo. I: is impossible to
Enow whit is going ou in the North, and it is almost the
sitne to learn what is doing ill the South out ol eyeshot;
it is us-’less to it quire wba-. news is sent to tou to Bag
land* The telcgiApbio communications are now broken,
so ate the nuil routes. Newsptp* rs and let'ers now and
then reach well known people here from New York in
six or seven dsys. Events Lurry on with tr-mendaus
rapidity, smlev' n the lightning lags behind them
The people of the South st last are aware that the
“Yvikees” are preparing to sunport the Government of
the United tfrat.s, and that the secession cm only be
maintained bv victory in the lield. There has been a
ohang" in their war policy. They now aver that “they
only want to be left alone,” and tney declare that they
rio "not intend to take Washington, and that it w«a nitre
ly as a feint that they tpoke about it. The fact ij, there
are even ia the com pad [and uuued Sou h in. n of mode
rite and extreme v.ews, and the general (one oi me wi ole
it regulated by the preponderance o! ono or the o her
at the moment, i have no doubt ou my mind that th
government here intended to attack and occupy Wusl
ington—not the least that they bsd it much at heart to
r. duce Fort P.ckrns a- sorn as possible. Now, some ol
•heir friend'* say that i. will be u mere nutter of conve
nience whether they ainuk Washington < r not. md 'ha
is lor Pickens, thev will certainly let it alone, at all
events lor the present, inasmuch as the meuacing atti
tude of General liragg obliges the enemy to keep a squad
ron of their best whip* there, and to retain a force of reg
ulars they can ill spars in a position wh»re they wu4
aoon lose enormously from di-cases incidental to the
climate They have discovered, loo, that the position
is of little value bo long as the Uuited States hold Tor
tugas and Key West.
They firmly believe the w*r will not last a tear, and
that 1862 will behold a victorious, compact slaveboldiog
Confederate Power of filtceu States under a stoug gov
e nment, prepared to hold its own against the world, or
that portion of it which may attack it.
I now but repeat the sentiments and expectations ol
tho.'e around me. They believe in the irrerUtible pow
er of cotton, in the natural alliance betwe u manufaotur
iug Eaglaud and France and the cotton producing slave
States, in the force of their timpie tariff, and in the In.
terest which arises out of a system of free trade, which,
however, by a rigorous Irgi-Ution they will interdict to
'heir neighbors in the free States, and only open for thr
benefit of tueir foreign customers Commercially, and
politically, and militarily they have made up their minds
and never was there scab ot fi ieuce exhibited by SD)
p< ople in the future as they have, or pretend to have, it
their destiny.
Listen to their programme;—
It it in tended to buy up all the cotton crop which ce'

give b >uds of the Conti d"»Us Urate* lor tbe amount,

The newspapers contain the teat ot me ticc.ai .moo of

of this war measure is o depreciate ibe value ol the

The governin'lit here conceive they have a right to dc

Bower. The refusal to admit the piitatecrs of the Con

the rkh; of search will be taken m an act of war, and a*
a proof of a'.lunc- with the emnty—tbs’ is, the govern
