RECRUITMENT OF BRITISH
SUBJECTS FOR THE YMMRAL ARMY.

An important correspondence between Earl Rus-
sell and Mr. Adams on this subject has been pub-
lished.
•On the 10th of April Earl Russell writes to Mr.
Adams:
Sir,—With referee:* to your letter of the 10th hut., in
which you repeated the denial you had formerly made of the '
truth of the report that men were befog recruited is this
wonky Lea the United States' army, I think it right to ems-
muairithe to you the substance of a report which has just
best made to bar Majesty's government with regard to the
number of persons w o are now being shipped as emignuite
frees Queeostown to New York. It is stated that within
the last fortnight 1,278 emigrate have sailed, the greater
number being strong satire young mesa ; that it cannot be
doubted that they an intended for the United Staid=
and that, in fact, many of them do not deer it. A
amber of these men ware mlittiamem from Cork and its
and they informed the amigtation oiliest that they
would get from 230 to SOO dollars boesty. It also appears
that the prcepeat of this imp bounty has bele held oat
to yoneg men by gamma rumour throughout the country
It.
la farther stated that the friends of theme persons in
America are paid so tomb far obtaining and bringing them
over to New York. Ido net think it neceseary to encumber
this hiker with further state ante of a more or less trust
worthy character whirl have reached her Majesty's (event
runt, corroborative of this asserted recruiting of her Na-
jetty's subjects for service in the Ugliest States' army ; and
I shall therefore merely gild that I as informed that about
eight hundred young men were booked to sail from Queue
tows by the steamer of the 9th ,net, it being fruit spoken
of that all the young ms were gang to join the Northers
army, and that although the Inman Compw7 have put on
adchtromel steamers, the number of soplicenta for passage is
so peat that they =sot all be accomakedated, and that
several headrests are coneequently left behind earth week.—
I am, ke., Russta.L.
Two days after Mr. Adams replies :
Legation of the United States, London, April 16,1863.

My Lord,—l am very mach obliged to you for the counney
exteaded to me in the communication of the ambition of •
capon which hes been made to bet Majesty's government
with regard to the number of persons who are sow being
shipped as migrants from Qeesanowe. The fact that a
great many people, especially ia Ireland, have been anxious
for some tasks past to find their way to the United States
has bees made known to me by the frequent applications
to tbie legatios for free peenge. A aeoskierable propor-
tion of tom aantein Mho to alai in the senile of the go-
vernment. No dosbi they are wore OE WM influenced by the
high bounties offered in America, nominal which have been
from time to time published in the isewepapers beta To all
such eolkitations the answer given from here has been uni-
formly to the effect that so arithcaity boa bent ghee by the
government to listen to any proposals of the kind or to
make coy engagements whatever. Instructiom have like-
wise been sent to the respective consuls, who have re-
similar proposals to me, to make the same answer.
rhiit no name to believe that any American noises I.
England, clothed with authority, has vectored to act in any
other way. It is proper for me to add, in earthman= of
the emigration that is taking place, that a gentleman of la.
Buenos to America, now in London, who is in annuities to
know, hem lately informed me that some of the great corpo-
rations far the exteadoe of railways in the western pert of
the limited States, having expetimed ineoaventeace
from the liability of the labourers in their employ to rbe
drafted for the war, and apprehending more, are
making efforts to procure large supplies from other countries
of aliens, who are from that circumstance exempted from
the risk of being called into service. It may be that moan
of those who desire to get num tie ocean, for the purpose
of enlisting, exploit to take edvaotege of the opporttuiity
thus placed before them. In addition to this, there is nu
doubt of the fact of a scarcity of labourers in the United
Staten. 1 learn from petrels sources that the rate of wages
this seam is very mesh advaseed. lam lad to believe that
then in addition to the alleged diatom of the ponn-
'Mon of I may explain the phenomena of emigration
to which your lordship tun been pleased to draw my Mon-
tion.—l proy, ko.,
