Lord Palmerstoh said the course .of transac tions wifh regard to the belligerent rights of the two parties was this: The President of the United States issued a proclamation declaring a blockade of all the coast and certain parts of ftht Southern confed racy, in accordanoe,hhe said, with the law of nations. Now,; ft block ade, according to the law of nations, was a bel ligerent right, which could only' accrue to-a o. a r. ' i. ' i. . .i '-r r a ' i oiaie wnicn was ai vrar wnen tne rresiaent ae clared a bloekade was established.' The only; course was to acknowledge' his right to da so as belligerents, and .to submit to it, but that necessarily involved that the other party, who was a belligerent, was entitled to he so consid ered -of course. Whether the United States ceased to exercise the rights they now claim there would be no necessity for the acknowledg ment of belligerent rights, neither one side nor the other. ' In the IIouso of Lords, Lord. Houston made a similar inquiry, but used the term,) conces sion of belligerent rights. Earl Russell jeplied in substance similar to Palmerston, hut objected to the. wording of the question and to the time of putting it as most inopirtune. It was not a question ot conces sion)ut of actual fact. The question was uu fortunate as to time, because at present, it was verydifiScult to "fay. what--was the state of the 'case, and the government was anxious to know what course the United States government in tended to pursue. Until they knew, it was im possible to give an answer. Ii I The London' Times points .out that if Galves ton is still blockaded, the federals still exercise belligerent rights. : v MODIFICATION OF THE KJHJTR4LITY ORDERS. Earl Russell- had addressed a letter to the heads of the various departments, dated May 11, stating that in the existing state of the civil war in America, and the uncertainty as to its continuance, it appears to her Majesty's govern ment that the time has arrived for ceasing to enforce so much of the orders given m ter of January dl, 1802, requiring blligerents vessels to leave British! ports within .twenty EfiBiKD.

He converses freely, and doesBot appear At sll like a prisoner of war. Us says he never saw so marked a change in four years, in any two men, as in Abraham Lin coln and Jsfferson Davis.' He expressed great regret at the President's assassination, admitted the Confederacy was played out, and seemed anxious to have peace declared, and the matter settled as speedily as possible. His idea . was to haye the different rebel States repeal the or dinance of secsssiopf and accept the Constitu tional Amendment. Mr. Stspheaj expressed ho cpisioa to attack the city of Washington these and a few I additional facts are all that are; necessary to put the great conspirator on trial before the Stir perior Court of this District. .

After Congress had reorganized -the routes of this district; and legislated oat the old judges, President Lincoln, anxious to secure men ot ripe experience, capacity, and unchal lenged loyalty, appointed Judge Cartter at the head pf the new Court, and associated with hiui the Hon.
