Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Correspondence Respecting the Removal of British Consuls From the So-Styled Confederate States of America: Presented to the House of Commons by Command of Her Majesty, 1864 I Have the honour to inclose herewith the copy of a despatch and inclosures written by me to Lord Lyons, dated the 6th instant, from which your Lordship will gather that this Government has annulled my exequatur. I Have the honour to inclose to your Lordship the copy of a letter addressed to me by Mr. Benjamin, Secretary of State, under yesterday´s date, together with Letters-Patent (copy also inclosed) in the name of the President, Mr. Jefferson Davis, revoking my exequatur as Her Majesty´s Consul for the State of Virginia, for the reason therein assigned, that I had corresponded with the Secretary of War here, on matters beyond my Consular jurisdiction, after receiving an intimation from the Secretary of State not to do so. I am very happy to state that my last crowning Consular act was consummated yesterday morning before I received this ungenerous withdrawal of my exequatur, by which measure I have checked the attempted conscription of British subjects, under various pretext, namely, for having voted, for having declared their intention of becoming citizens, for holding real estate, and for having married in the country, so that numerous British subjects got their release from captivity in a military camp yesterday, and it will stay I trust for a time this source of anxiety to them. If I am to leave Richmond it will be absolutely necessary that this Government should allow the unshackled departure of all British subjects; and it military exigencies should be pleaded as an excuse for objecting to allow them to cross their military lines, I beg to suggest whether means could not be resorted to to have steamers sent to City Point, on the James River, for their conveyance to Baltimore or New York. There are numerous British workmen in the different Government workshops who are very anxious to leave, at their expense, but they are refused passports.
