> tii not oe admitted to free practice, nor ob
Wm permission to provide herself with coal,
pi ivisious, supplies, and utensils of any kiud
whatever, uor receive on board any person
whatever; he likewise requests that as this
cruiser, iu comb.nation wi;n the Alabama, vio
iated the sovereignty of the Imperial Govern
ment of Brazd, py capturing and destroying
.cssels belonging to citizius of the United
Stales of America, within ttm territorial waters

in reply to the counsel, I have to inform him
ihat as tiio said vessel belongs to the Uoufeder
tie Suites, iu whom the Imperial Government
recognized the character of belligerents, all the
ssi-tanee required by humauiiy may be fur
nished bur, which does in no wise constitute as
•isl. nee for warlike purposes as laid down by
international law, and does cot cocfl et with
i hat neutrality which this Government studi
ously seeks to preserve, aud has ai ways pre
served, in the contest between the States of
North America. The undersigned cannot,
herefore, admit the tirst portion of the claim
1 the counsel, in the general manner iu which
It was presented, and particularly iu relation to
those articles considered a6 contraband of war,
in conformity with instructions issued ob that
subject by tne Imperial Government, and ac
cording to which the said vessel will only be
nminted to remain in this port ior a length «f
time absolutely indispensable.
Iu regard to the second part of his note, it is
my duty to observe to the consul that, evsa if
it were fully established that the Florida had
ircvionsly violated neutrality, such a proceed
in'would scarcely authorize us to refuse her
ertuisMou to enter the ports of the Empire,

r*iß: The undersigned having been informed
ol tbs serious outrage perpetrated by the
steamer Wachusetts, o! the United States of
North America, in violating tho neutrality df
the empire aud contemning its sovereignty by
capturing treacherously and under shade ol the
'light, within the very port of this capital, the
stcaiucr Florida, ol the Confederate States; and,
.« la addition to the most sacred regulations «t
international law observed among civil'zsd na
tions, prohibiting the commission of such re
prehensible acts by civilized nations, thu bs
dersigued regarded as a pledge of respect for
Uie neutrality of Brazil the word of boss; ol
Mr. T. i'\ VViison, the Consul of the Halted
S 1C- oi Nlorth America, who, in the most ex
plicit terms, undertook to secure a compliant®
on the part of the Captain of the said steamer
Wachusetts with his duty by respecting the
sovereignty of the empire, and by abstaining
1 1 out all hostile nets whatever within its territo
rial waters—the undersigned cannot refrain
Irani protesting soleuiuly and energetically
against the outrage alluded to. and the mor« so
us be considers the Consni himself as irnplicat
ed therein, inasmuch as, notwithstanding his
formal promise, he has volunteered no expla
nation teudiug to dimini-h his responsibility.
And as the occurrence, aud the silence hith
erto observed on the subject by She Consul oi
Ihe United States, evidently prove that the un
(L'lsigned cau no longer coailde in the said
Consul to cause the neutrality and sovereignty
of the empire to be respected by the belligerent
vessels oi the said Slates, he has resolved to
interrupt official relations with him until the
Imperial Government, which is about to,b« in
formed of tbis unexpected aud deplorable
event, shall have deliberated upon the subject,
in lull possession of ail the facts and according
to its superior wisdom. The Consul is like

the most energetic and forcible means will be

THU SEIZURE or H UE FLORIDA.
LIEUTENANT MOKKISK jiOFBTCIAL STATEMENT.
The London Index publishes the following account
of tae capture of the Florida, written by Captain
Morris, her late commander:
Bahia, October IS, 1304.
Mik : It is with great pain that I have to report
the sejAure ot the Confederate States steamer Flori
da, lately under my command.
I arrived at this port on the 4lh inst. r at 9P. M,,
to prorure coal and provisions, and also to get some
Slight repairs after a cruise of sixty-one days. Just
alter anchoring, a boat passing uroomi us ashed the
name ot oar vesst 1, ana, upon receiving oar reply,
staled that the boat »>t from Her Brlttaunic Mahs
ty a steamer Curlew. Next morning I found that
the United States steamer Wachtisetts war at anchor
near lib, bat no English steamer, so I at once eon
clndod that the boat which had hailed us the evening
before was from the Wachusette.
We were visited on the morning of the 6th by a
Brazilian oilicer, to whom I stated my wants, and
Wu* informed by him that he would report the same
to the President, and tLatufitil hiß answer was re
reived we could hold no communication with the
shore At noon I received a communication—which
was left on board the Florida—from the President,
mating that he was ready to rece ve me. At our in
terview he interned ma that forty eight hours would
bo allowed me to flt and repair, but that should hts
chief engineer, wiiom be would send on board to ex
amine the machinery, deem the time too short, he
would grant the neeos.-ary extsn-ion He was most
urgent In his request that I should striotly observe
the laws o! neutrality, at the same time stating t«
ms that, he had received the most solemn assurance
from the United States Coneel that the United mates
steamer would do nothing In port contrary to the
laws es nations and of Brawl: and that he desired
the same frem Me, which I nnhssttal lagly gars.
