submitted　to　Congress　as　soon　as　assembled。



In　the　meantime　I　earnestly　invoke　the　co…operation　of　all　good

citizens　in　the　measures　hereby　adopted　for　the　effectual　suppression

of　unlawful　violence；　for　the　impartial　enforcement　of　constitutional

DEPARTMENT　OF　STATE。

WASHINGTON；　May　21；　1861



SIR：…Mr。　Dallas；　in　a　brief　despatch　of　May　2d　（No。　333）；　tells　us

that　Lord　John　Russell　recently　requested　an　interview　with　him　on

account　of　the　solicitude　which　his　lordship　felt　concerning　the

effect　of　certain　measures　represented　as　likely　to　be　adopted　by　the

President。　　In　that　conversation　the　British　secretary　told　Mr。

Dallas　that　the　three　representatives　of　the　Southern　Confederacy

were　then　in　London；　that　Lord　John　Russell　had　not　yet　seen　them；

but　that　he　was　not　unwilling　to　see　them　unofficially。　　He　further

informed　Mr。　Dallas　that　an　understanding　exists　between　the　British

and　French　governments　which　would　lead　both　to　take　one　and　the　same

course　as　to　recognition。　　His　lordship　then　referred　to　the　rumor　of

a　meditated　blockade　by　us　of　Southern　ports；　and　a　discontinuance　of


them　as　ports　of　entry。　　Mr。　Dallas　answered　that　he　knew　nothing　on

those　topics；　and　therefore



　　　　　（The　President's　corrections；　both　in　notes　and　text；　are　in

　　　　　caps。　All　matter　between　brackets　was　to　be　marked　out。）



could　say　nothing。　　He　added　that　you　were　expected　to　arrive
