my note, with profound regret, to your Government, you, nevertheless, do not controvert the principal positions assumed in that note. You do not deny, first, that it is lawful for her Majesty's subjects to lend money on securities, or otherwise, to either helligerent, or secondly, that it is also lawful to sell, to either belligerent, munitions of war. Upon this subject I beg to call to your notice that no longer ago than the 20th of last November, in answer to the remonstrance of Mexico against an alleged organized system in the United States of aiding France in the war in which she is engaged with that republic, but in which the United States are neutral, Mr. Seward replied by this, among other citations: [After quoting from Mr. Webster's dispatch to Mr. Thompson, Earl Russell proceeds]: It seems clear, on the principle enunclated in these authorities, that, except on the ground of any proved violation of the Foreign Enlistment act, her Majesty's Government canno

ent thinks that the responsibility for that painful result will not fall upon the United States. England responsibilityEarl Russell to Mr. Adams Foreign Officer, Sept. 11, 1863. Sir --I have received your letter of the 5th inst., and have read it with great regret. It has been the aim of the Government of Great Britain to maintain a strict neutrality between the parties who for two years have carried on a civil war of unusual extent and loss of life on the continent of North America. Her Majesty's Government have, for the most part, succeeded in this impartial course. If they have been unable to prevent some violations of neutrality on the part of the Queen's subjects, the cause has been that Great Britain is a country which is governed by definite laws, and is not subject to arbitrary will. But law, as you are well aware, is enforced here, as in the United States, by independent courts of justice, which will not admit assertion for proof, nor conjecture for

My Lord: I have the honor to transmit copies of further depositions relating to the launching and other preparation of the second of the two vessels-of-war from the yard of Messrs. Laird, at Birkenhead, concerning which it has already been my disagreeable duty to make most serious representations to her Majesty's Government. I believe there is not any reasonable ground for doubt that these vessels, if permitted to leave the port of Liverou are well aware, is enforced here, as in the United States, by independent courts of justice, which will not admit assertion for proof, nor conjecture for certainty. * * * * * * In the case still pending of the iron clad steam rams at Birkenhead, Mr. Seward, with his knowledge and perspicuity of judgment, cannot fall to acknowledge that it was necessary to show not only that these vessels were built and equipped for purposes of war, but also that they were intended for the so called Co

In respect to the Egyptian Government, it was only on the 5th instant that her Majesty's Government received a dispatch from Mr. Colquhon, her Majesty's Consul General in Egypt, which is conclusive on this subject. Ismail Pacha refused to purchase these vessels. From this example, and that of the vessels built for the Emperor of China, whose name was alleged all over the United States to be a mere sham to cover, the real destination of the vessels, the President will gather how necessary it is to be dispassionate and careful in inquiries and statements upon subjects involving such great interests, and affecting the good faith and character of a Power so honorable as Great Britain. These matters will no doubt, be duty and dispassionately considered by the Government at Washington, however they may have been understood
