Excerpt from Papers Relating to the Blockade of the Ports of the Confederate States Papers relating to the Blockade of the Ports of the Confederate States. No. I. Consul Lousada to Lord J. Rusell. - (Received May 17.) (Extract.) Boston, May 3, 1861. Yesterday I learnt from a high naval authority at Charleston Nary Yard that the blockading of tIm ports of Virginia will be effected on Monday next by a Neel between Cape Charles and Cape Henry, and that Commodore Stringbam´s general blockading force will consist of, at least, fifty vessels, accompanied by a sufficient number of steam-transports for the accommodation of a land forte of 20,000 moo. It is supposed that this will prove ample to make an efficient blockade of every inlet on the Southern coast into which a vessel drawing six feet of water might otherwise enter. No. 2. Cana Bunch to ´Ara Russell.-(Iteceised Jane 3.) (Extract.) Charleston. May IA, 1801. I HAVE the honour to inform your Lordship that this port and the adjacent coast were blockaded by the United Slates´ steum.Argate "Niagara " on Saturday the I Ith instant, in conformity with the Proclamation of the President of the United States dated the lthh of April last.

The people of this city are very indignant at the blockade. It puts them, however, to but little practical inconvenience, as the business season is entirely over. But its pressure will be greatly felt towards the autumn. when the importations for the winter are made, and the new crop of cotton is in the =whet. It is to be hoped that some favourable change may have occurred before that period. The detriment to British trade, both export and import, will be very considerable should the blockade be prolonged. Inclosure I in No. 2. Consul Danch to Lord Lyons. (Extract.) Charleston, May 13. 1861. I HAVE The honour to acquaint your LonIship that on the morning of Saturday, the 1 lilt instant. a blockade of this port was instituted by the United States´ sleatn-frif,wte "Niagara," Captain McKean, nod it was currently reported that several vessels, both English and others, bad been wanted off by the Commander during that day.
