Copy instructions and warrant to Clarence Randolph Yonge, as acting paymaster of the Alabama.-(Vide p. 72 of Report.)

LIVERPOOL, July 28, 1862. SIR: You will join the Confederate States steamship Alabama, temporarily under the orders of Captain W. J. Butcher, and proceed in her to sea. The Alabama may have to cruise several days in the British Channel, and to touch at one or two ports. During this time you are strictly enjoined not to mention that you are in any way connected with the Confederate States navy, but you will simply act as the purser of a private ship. In this capacity you will keep account of all money paid, and you will assist Captain Butcher in any manner he may desire. You have been provided with an invoice of everything now on board the Alabama, as well as the cargo shipped on board the brig Agrippina, which vessel you will meet at the port to which the Alabama is bound. The invoice of the Agrippina's cargo gives the mark and number of every case and bale, the contents of each, and the part of the vessel in which it is stowed. You will endeavor to make yourself fully acquainted with the invoices, and examine the store-rooms, so that you will be able to give efficient aid in getting everything in its proper place when the transfer of stores is made. When the Alabama is fairly at sea you will mix freely with the warrant and petty officers, show interest in their comfort and welfare, and endeavor to excite their interest in the approaching cruise of the ship; talk to them of the southern States, and how they are fighting against great odds for only, what every Englishman enjoys, "liberty." Tell them that at their port of destination a distinguished officer of the Confederate States navy will take command of the ship,

and he will ask them to ship for a cruise in which they will have the most active service, and be well taken care of. I do not mean that you are to make the men set speeches, or be constantly talking to them, bat in your position you may frequently throw out to leading men hints of the above tenor, which will be circulated upon the berth deck. Seamen are very impressionable, and can be easily influenced by a little tact and management. When Captain Semmes joins, you will at once report to him, and act thereafter under his instructions. He will be a stranger to the ship and crew, and will be in a position of great responsibility and embarrassment. You have it in your power to smooth away some of the difficulties in advance, especially in having all the stores and cargo of the ship in an orderly state, and the men settled and well disposed, and I confidently rely upon your exertions to bring about such a state of things. You will consider yourself as temporarily under the orders of Captain Butcher, in whom I place great confidence, and by strict attention to your duties and the display of zeal and judgment in their execution you will evince a just appreciation of the trust reposed in you, and will prove that your appointment to so important a post has been deserved. Wishing you every success,

I am, respectfully, your obedient servant,

C. R. YONGE,

Acting Assistant Paymaster.

JAMES D. BULLOCH, Commander Confederate States Navy.

LIVERPOOL, July 30, 1862. SIR: By virtue of authority granted me by the Hon. S. R. Mallory, secretary of the navy of the Confederate States, I hereby appoint you an acting assistant paymaster. This appointment to date from the 21st day of December, 1861.

Very respectfully,

CLARENCE R. YONGE,

JAMES D. BULLOCH, Commander Confederate States Navy.

Acting Assistant Paymaster Confederate States Navy.

Abstract of proclamation.

BY THE QUEEN-A PROCLAMATION.-(Vide p. 5 of Report.)

Whereas we are happily at peace with all sovereigns, powers, and states;

And whereas hostilities have unhappily commenced between the government of the United States of America and certain States styling themselves the Confederate States of America;

And whereas we, being at peace with the government of the United States, have declared our royal determination to maintain a strict and impartial neutrality in the contest between the said contending parties;

We therefore have thought fit, by and with the advice of our privy council, to issue this our royal proclamation;

And we do hereby strictly charge and command all our loving subjects to observe a strict neutrality in and during the aforesaid hostilities, and to abstain from violating or contravening either the laws and statutes of the realm in this behalf, or the law of nations in relation thereto, as they will answer to the contrary at their peril.

And whereas in and by a certain statute made and passed in the fifty-ninth year of his Majesty King George III, intituled "An act to prevent the enlisting or engagement of his Majesty's subjects to serve in a foreign service, and the fitting out or equipping in his Majesty's dominions vessels for warlike purposes, without his Majesty's license," it is amongst other things declared and enacted as follows (the second section is here given at length; vide Appendix, page 139.)

And it is in and by the said act further enacted, that (the seventh section is here given at length; vide Appendix, page 142.)

And it is in and by the said act further enacted, that (the eighth section is here given at length; vide Appendix, page 143.)

Now in order that none of our subjects may unwarily render themselves liable to the penalties imposed by the said statute, we do hereby strictly command that no person or persons whatsoever do commit any act, matter, or thing whatsoever contrary to the provisions of the said statute, upon pain of the several penalties by the said statute imposed, and of our high displeasure.

And we do hereby further warn all our loving subjects, and all persons whatsoever entitled to our protection, that if any of them shall presume, in contempt of this our royal
