2408 - L June 28; ed:2/1 - A very important debate occurred in the house
of lords, in which the question of federal recruiting was discussed. The
opponents of the government made a violent effort to prove that the con-
tinuation of the war is wholly due to the fact that foreigners, especially
the subjects of the queen, are enlisted into the federal army. The Marquis
of Clauricade made the statement that "if the proper measures had been
taken to prevent it long ago, the civil war in America would have ended
before now; and if the recruiting of British subjects were now put a stop
to," he believed the war would be brought to an early end.
"From these features of the discussion it is also clear that tile question
of intervention is liable to come up in a new phase before long.
"Success of our armies can alone prevent it. Every energy should there-
fore be put forth to accomplish the work to be done, this summer." (10)
