Mr. Peacock called attention to the case of the Tuscaloosa, and criticised the action of the Government in her case. He charged the Government with adopting the views of the Federal agents, and moved a resolution that the instructions contained in the Duke of Newcastle's dispatch of the 4th of November, 1863, to the Governor, of the Cape of Good Hope, which remains still unrevoked, are at variance with the principles of international law. A general debate ensued.

In the case of the Tuscaloosa, as she had unwittingly entered the port and been seized through a misconception of instructions, the only proper and fair course was to release her. Speeches were made on the opposite side by Mr. Whitehead, Mr. Elphinstone, sir II Cairns, and others, who charged the Government with favoring the Federals at the expense of the Confederates. During the debate the House was very thin, and a motion was made to "count out," but a considerable number of members came in and made up a requisite quorum.
