[From tbo Supplement to tho London Gazette,
Noromher 11.1
The following corrcspondonce bus
passed between Mr. Adnms, the United
States Minister to this Court, nnd E>;ri
Russell, when Her Majesty's Principal
Socretary of State for Foreign A flairs :
KARL KU3BKI.L TO MR. ADAMS.
Foreion Okkice, l
October 14, 1805. j
Sir: I have thouRht it best to wait for
the answer to the reference you bav
made to your Government before reply
ing to your last letter. Hut I observe that
you have not cloarly understood my |>
posal for the appointment of a cornu
sion. That proposal ia made in the fol
lowing terms:
“Her Majesty’s Government nro ready
to consent to the uppointmoLt of a com
mission, to which shall bo referred a!1
claims arising during the lato ci.il war
which the two powers shall agree to refer
to tho commissioners.’'
Thero are, 1 conceive, many cl
upon which the two powers would agree
that they wore fair subjects of investiga
tion before commissioners. Hut 1 think
you must porcoive that if tho United
States Government were to propose to re
fer claimB arising out of tho captures
made by tho Alabama and Shenandoah to
tho commissioners, the answer of ber Ma
jesty’s Government must bo, in consist
ency with the whole argument 1 have
maintained, in conformity with tho views
entertained by your Government in for
mer times. 1 should bo obliged,in answer
to such a proposal, to say, “For any acts
of her Majesty’s subjects committed out
of their jurisdiction, and beyond their
control, tho Government of her Majesty
is not responsible." 1 should say fui tlior,
that tho appointment of a commissioner
for such purpose would not be consistent
with any practico usual among civilized
nutions, and that it is a principle will
known und well understood, that no na
tion is responsible for tho acta of its citi
zens committed without its jurisdiction,
and out of the reach of its control. 1
should have cleared up this point before,
but I thought that the words “which the
)wo powers shall agree to refer to the
commissioners" would put an end to uny
doubt upon the subject.
1 Ulll, &c.,
[Signed] Kussell.
MR. ADAMS TO EAUL RUSSELL.
Legation of the United Slates,)
London, Oct. 17, 1805. j
My Lord : 1 have tho honor to acknowl
edge the reception of your note of tho
14tb instant,explanatory of some portions
of a preceding one dated the 3W.h August
last. This bus reached mb just ip season
to onablo mo to dispense with the neces
sity of soliciting precisely that informa
tion ; for, although tbo Government
which I have the honor to repro-ent had
already understood your Lordship’s note
substantially in tho same sense, it lias in
structed mo to Hek tho confirmation of it,
which has now been supplied. I am now
directed to iuforrn your Lordship that
the contents of your note of the 30 h of
August have received tho most careful
consideration. With regard to tho refer
ence which you wero pleased to make to a
friendly remark contained in the note
which 1 had the honor W> addiess to your
T ..J.UIn nn lltu Ofirl of OotolkAP Mil*
that upwards of sixty Portuguese vnwe h ! stand*. In that case, what would hayo
bud been captured or plundered ; that the ' been <>ur position? We should have been
fitting out at Baltimore of the privateers reproached more than ever in America
which effected tho.r capture was notori- for tho in^ncority of our proceeding, and
ous, and that many loading citizens of! our inactivity in executing our own law.
Baltimore, including tho sheriff nnd post- ! Results would have been appealed to, tv*
mMt'T, were summoned before the courts j you appeal to them in the letter to whicU
ns interested in those privateers, add-: lam now giving an answer, in tho caso
“The undersigned begs leave to r-ay, and j of “the Hirkenhead ruins," we had first
ho submits that it was the duly of the | the evidence, in their construction, itself.
United States Government to exercise a that they wore built for warlike purposes;
reasonable degree of vigilance to prevent! n*xt, a copy of tho contract by which "*
these proceedings of its citizens, and that,
having failed to do so, a just claim exists
on tho pnrt of tho Government of Portu
gal, in behalf of its despoiled subjects,
against the United Mates for the amount
of the losses sustained by reason thereof."
Hut did tho United Htutes' admit tho
claims thus courteously preferred? I
cannot find that even any reply was re
lumed to the Portuguese Minister. 9 *
F xactly similar to this conduct on the
part of your government has been the
conduct of Her Majesty’s government in
the late war. In tho case ot tho Alabama
I nriced for evidence sufficient to obtain n
verdict, and os I could not myself judge
of the sufficiency of the evidence you ren
dered, I referred the question to the law
officers of the crown. If it is asserted that
Hullock, the Confederate agent, agreed to
sell those vessels to M. Hravny; next, the
proof that their Kryptian names. &c.,
were only a fiction, the Viceroy of Egypt
having positively refused to buy them.—
These and other circumstances amounted
to a presumptive proof that those formi
dable vessels wore intended for the pur
pose of making war on the United State?.
You are already aware of tho conduct of
the Government when they had, as in this
instance, a case upon which they could
proceed. On the other side, take the case
of tho Sea King. She was a merchant
thip, unarmed, which went from tho
Thames to a foreign porl. Our Foreign
Enlistment act, like yours, requires two
things to he proved—first, tnat the vessel
fitted out, armed or equipped for war-
I did not use reasonable diligence, <>r that like purposes; but, secondly, it i3 not
the l»»4e and present Attorney •General j enough to prov.; tbul the vessel is fitted
were either ignorant of tho law, or pur- out, armed or equipped for purposes of
po.-ely misstated it, I can only respect- war. The warlike intent must be directed
fully butdocidedly repel any such charge, against some Prince or State in friendly
both for myself nnd for the law officers ol J relations with the Crown of Groat Britain,
the crown. Yet. although our conduct | Now, on neither of these points did you
been precisely simi'ar to that of your
own government to Portugal, you now
draw an alarming picture of the conse
quences which may ariso from such con
duct. “For" you suy :
“If it bo once fully established as u
principle of the international code that a
neutral power is the sole judgo of the de
gree to which it hu6 done its duty, under
a code of its own making, for the preven
tion of gross and flagrant outragen, initia
ted in its own ports by the agent

% TIIE Undersigned is
proparedeto supply
I'ublio with
belligerent in co-operation with numbers
of iia own subjects, and perpetrated upon
ifio commerce of tbo other on the high
schs ; if it be conceded that tho neutral
upon reclamation made for the injuries
thus done bj’ reason of tho mnnifest ineffi
caey of its means of repression, which it
has at all imes tho power to improve at
will, can deliberately decline to respond
to any such appeal, fall buck upon the lit
tle that it has attempted as an excuse, und
thenceforward claim, with justice, to be
released from tho inevitable consequence*
that must ensuo from this inaction, then
it must surely follow that the only com
petition between neutral powers hereafter
will be, not which shall do th« most, bui
which shall do tho least to fulfill its obli
gations of interdiction of the industry and
nterprisa of its people in promoting th*-
onfhets that take place between belliger
ents on the ocean."
Yet, ns far as 1 can judge, your Secre
taries of State always maintained thut the
United States as n neutral power, were
“tho sole judges of tho degreo in which it
had done its duty under a code of its own
making." Hut now as to the code. I ful
ly admit that tho laws of Congrc*? of 1817
and 1818 differ from tho act of 1791. The
chief difference nppeurs to ine to lie in the
piovision that, besides Princes and States
specified in the act of 1794, the act of 1818
extends to ‘ colony, district, or people."
Hut so does, in othor words, our act ol
1719. Thero are other differences, howev
er, und to those I suppose you allude.
But, for tho reason which 1 proceed t<-
state, these other differences tof which 1
did not lose sight while stating in my for
mer letter that the main provisions of the
act of Congress of 1818 had been adopted
in our legislation of 1819, so far as they
wero considered applicable to the circum
stances of this country) have never ap
peared to her Majesty’s government to be
of any very muterial importance. The
10.h section of tbe act of Congress of Uic.
20:h of April, 1818,. requires bends to b*
given “by the owners or consignees ol
every armed ship or vessel sailing out ol
tho ports of the United States, belonging
wholly or in part to citizens thereof," in
double the value of tho si ip and cargo,
against tho employment of such ship or
vessel, “by such owners," to cruise or
commit hostilities against tho subjects,
Jcc., or any province or Sluto with w hom
the United States aro at peace. The 11th
section of tbo act of Congress of April
‘20, 1818, is in these words:
“And be it further enacted, that the
Collectors of Ihe Customs bo, nnd they
are hereby respectively authorized and
quired, to detain any vessel manifestly
ish us, nor did we possess, a tittle of
evidence against the »Sea King. Y’etyou
hold us responsible for all the depreda
tions she may have committed on the high
seas. It must not be forgotten that in »
free country the crown cannot act upon
mere vague suspicion, without 6ome evi
dence to submit to a jury; and that trial
by jury affords to British subjects the
same protection which, ia an ordinary
state of peace, American citizens enjoy in
>«»ur own country. Her majesty’s gov
ernment desire t<» be on tho most friendly
terms with tho United Stat -s, but aro not
prepared to accede to any demand which
aims at tho diminution of our freedom, or
wuich assumes, without warrant from any
previously recognized authority or prac-
existence of an extent of obliga-
huilt for warlike purposes, and about to
depart for the United States, of which the
cargo shall principally consist of arms

ri niE undersigned beg leavo to inform their
1 friends aud the publio generally, that they
have built a first class kouudry and M a oh ine
munitions of war, whon the number
of men shipped on board, or other circum
stances, shall render it probable that sticn
vessel is intended to be employed by the
owner or owners to cruise or commit hos
tilities upon the subjects, citizens, or prop
erty of any foreign Prince, or State, or of
any colony, district, or people with whom
the United States are at peace, until the
decision of tho President be had th* r *on,
or until tho owners shall give such bond
and security as Is required of the owners
of armed ships by tho preceding section
of this net."
Now, I contend, first, that for ten years
iheso provisions proved utterly ineffica
cious to prevent the fitting out of priva
teers at Haiti more, as shown by tho fact
that tho complaints of tho Portuguese
ministers of captures and plundering by
American privateers wore inoro frequent,
nnd extended to a larger amount of prop
erty af er 1818 than they had dona from
1810 to 1818 Hut, secondly, l observe
that the tenth section applies only to vos-
.;.0s which uro already armed before they
sail out of tho ports of the United Slates,
end which bolong (wholly or in part to
United States’ citizons; and the security
taKcn under this section is only against
their employment, “by such owners,” to
cruise, &c., leaving those owners at liber
ty, without forfaiting their bonds, to trans
fer the vessels to othors who might after
wards so employ them. The eleventh
section applies only to vessels “inuniu»lly
built for warliko purpose?," and "of whioh
the cargo .shall principally consist ot arms
and munitions of war," and 1 think i'. i?
quite clear that hud wo so amended our
law, and had it boon found applicable in
any cases, the owners of tho vessels might
easily kavo given tho bonds required, and
might as easily havo sent their vessels to
sea, forfeiting or not forfeiting, as the event
might have turned out, thu Amount of their
bonds. Tho groat armies equipped and
led by the confederates; their vast maga
zines; tho money advanced for tho Hirk-

nature of tho claims whioh her Majesty’.

[Signetl] Russell,
KARL RUSSELL TO MR. ADAMS.
Foreign Office, November 3,
Sir: Her Majesty’s Government ban
duly considered your letter of the lstli of
Soptember, and, however unwilling I
may be to prolong this discussion, 1 ilnd
it absolutely necessary to clear up some
misconceptions ns tn tho course ami con
duct of Grout Britain during the re
contest in America. 1 do not consid
incumbent upon mo, however, to repeal
or enlarge upon my arguments in refer
ence to the alleged precipitate recognition
of bolligertfnt rights, or tho contrast you
draw between tbo conduct of her .Mi,jus-
tv's Government in tho late civil war and
that of France during tho American war
of independence. Tlio existence td bel
ligerent rights is, as Mr. Canning said, a
question of fact rather than of opinion ;
and if the fact of a vast insurrection is
developed suddenly, rapidly, and com
pletely, the cuse must, 1 conceive, ho
treated by other nations in n different
manner front tho caso of a rebellion
breaking out partially, slowly and gradu
ally, Nor do 1 conceive it is necessnry to
point eut the difference betweon the con
duct of France ncknowledgiDg the i nitod ,
State, of Americo as an independent her majesty s government had relied on
Sute* and forming treaties with tho Gov- 1 - ' — ““ ••>* -■>'•
ernmerri of that State within two years of
tho declaration of ihdepondonco, nnd tho
patient neutrality of Grent Hrilnin, not-
withsUoding tho interruption of her
oommerce and the immonso losses suffered
by her people during four years, and un
til victory had doclared in ffivor of the
Go\ rnmont against which tho insurrec
tion was directed. 1 cannot forb'* *■
bow ’ver, to express somo eurprii
tion on the part of neutrals toward bellig
erent? going beyond an3» which the cov*»
eminent of a free country could navo
power, though acting with entire good
laith, punctually to fulfill. Yet it appears
to me. I con fee.*, that as neither the law of
the United States nor our own Foreign
Enlistment act havo proved uppn trial
completely efficacious, it is worth consid
eration whether improvements may not ho
made in the statutes of both nations, so
that, for the future, each government may
have in it* own territory ns much security
h? our tree institutions will permit against
tho-e who act in defiance of tho intention
of the Sovereign ami evade tho lettor of
its laws. I have the honor to incloso a
memorandum in regard to our own con
duct during tho American war. in refer
ence to a passage in your letter (inclosure
No. 1), and a second memorandum show
ing in what manner your various com
plaints during the recent civil war have
been disposed of (inclosure No. 2). 1
have, in conclusion, only to repeat, in this
the lmt letter which I shall Imvc the honor
to add.ess you on this subject, my slncora
and earnest hope- that our two countries,
now beta relieved from the stain and guilt
of slavery, may perform (heir part in thu
world in peace und good will.
I am, &c., Bussell.
The first memorandum appended to tho
correspondence relates to the measures of
coercion adopted by Great Britain during
her contest with the rovol ed North Amer
ican colonies, on thoir declaration of inde
pendence. This memorandum is a reply
to a letter from Mr. Adams, uated the 18th
of September of the pre-ent year. Lord
Russell draws from the details of the conn
duct of the Govern merit of France during
nn early period of tho war the conclusion
that it u as actively hostile to Great Britain,
and that Mr. Adams ia not justified iu
contracting that conduct favorably with
the neutral course of Great Br,.ain in thu
present civil war between the two portion*
of 0 e American Republic. Great Hrtthin
did not, by nny uct of hers, confer on her
revolted colonies any belligorent charac
ter, nor did she enforce such rights against
neutraft. On tho contrary, for a long po*
riod she dealt with those colonies as re
volted provinces, by acts of ordinary le
gislation, and by restrictions on thoir
trade. Hut the United States, within a
few months alter tbo commencement ot
the insurrection,contorted upon tbe South
ern States belligerent rights, by the pro
clamation issued by the President on the
19ih of April, 18G1, establishing the block
ade of tho Southern States, in pursuance
of the laws of those States und tho laws of
nations in such cases provided.
The second memorandum sots forth in
minute detail tho steps taken by her mu-’
j city’s government on every caso of sup*
posed infraction of tho Enlistment net, of
which a complaint was lodged by the
American Minister.

If _ nt tho
t confidence you express that Her
laj fty's Government will Acquiesco in
dt-ciriiio which tho United Slates, du
ring moto than thirty years, declared to
be opposed to tho law umTpractice of nn-
Horn, and that her Majesty*s Government
will grant reparation on grounds which,
when urged by Portugal iu a similar caso,
the United States positively, constantly
and solemnly rejected. Thus I find that
in November, 1860, tho Portugese Minis
ter at Washington, * in an ablo summary
of tha Portuguese claims, aftor relating
»h provisions as the tenth and eleventh
sections of tho act of Congress, many ves-
bels, probably including tlio rams at Birk
enhead, would havo escaped nnd have
been employed in breaking tho blockade
of Charleston and other Southern poits.
lie that as it may, however, those provis
ions of tho act of Congress, clearly would
not bo applicable to the Alabama, Florida,
Georgia, Shenandoah, and vessels of that
clivus; nono of which, when they left this
country, were either “armed ships or ves
sels," or hnd on board any cargo, consist
ing “principally" (if nt all) “of arms and
munitions of war;" neither would they
havo been applicable to the ships which
carried out arms, Arc., to thoso vessels,
but which woro themselves neither armed
nor “intended to bo employed by the own*
or or owncis to cruise or commit huslili-
tiof."
If, tboreforo, such provisions had boon
contained in the British statute,they would
have proved simply nugatory, and would
have added nothing in any of the cn*o»
which have actually happened tothepow-
„rb of pievontion given by tho act as it

When it was found that such vessels ns

reconverted into Con federate cruisers, in-
strurtions wero given that no more ships
should bo sold out of her majesty's navy.
Moreover, when Captain Osborn’s lloet.

that tho vossoU oomposing it might fall

A Nut for Gkolouists.—A gentleman
of Springfield, Mats., recently returned
from California, brought with hint a piece
id’ tlio auriferous quartz rock about tho
size of a mr.u s lUt. On taking it out lor
exhibition to a friend, it accidently fall
upon tho floor and split open, whon there
whs discovered near the center of tho mas*,
firmly imbedded in tho quartz, and slighu
ly corroded, a cut-iron nail, of the size oi
A sixpenny nail. It was ontlroly straight,
and had a* perfect head. By whom wm
that nail made? At what period was it
planted in tho yet uncbrystalizad quartz '

tbul nail could speak, we should learn
something more ot American hi-tory than
we are likely ever to know.
