[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 nnnvnrted our larSUC O.

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 a d@fe JAMES M.

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.

Sir: I h.vo tbe honor to ncknowleilite the receipt of your lottor of the 17th iiisl., requostin* to be informed of the precise nature of tho claims whioh her Majesty’. Government would ho willing to rtler to a commission ; anti 1 have to state that the information you roquost may take sometime in preparation, but her .Mnjea ty's Government will furnish it as soon u: they can consistently with tlio importance of tne question. 1 null &e., [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. onAloUioth street, boiwoea Raadolpjl and Ht- p s All kinds of Oouutry FrodiVe taken in ^\ , u ‘u , lr ( ;£l ,r uW. u tt:' | ° B ub ~' *m. * o. 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 I'nyCKKDINUS TAKXN WITH REGARD TO VK8SKL8.

Moreover, when Captain Osborn’s lloet. returned from China, and it was loarod that tho vossoU oomposing it might fall into Confederate bauds, her muj sty’s gov ernment iuterposed both in ludia and Kng- laud to provont their sale. When the sale and conversion of the Georgia was complained of, a custom's no tification was published, forbidding vessel* of war to bu sold and dismantled in Brit ish ports. Finally, as will have been shown by the precod ng statement, every representation of Mr. Adams was considered immedi ately on its receipt, and referred, when re quisite, to tho law officer* or other depart ments of her majesty's government, with out even a day’s delay.
