ENLISTMENT IN THE UNITED SLATES.

The Boston International Journal has an article
exculpating Mr. Crampton from having violated or
intended to violate the neutrality laws of the
United States. The Journal says :
We have said that Mr. Crampton took the opinion of
a high legal authority of the United States, and sent
that opinion to the different Consuls. The following is
the circular accompanying that opinion. It will most
forcibly strike the mind of every reader how anxiously
he sought to make all persons respect the law in this
business :

Washington, March 11, 1855.
Mr. Crampton to her Majesty's Consuls at New York,
Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, Norfolk, and New
Orleans.
Sir,—l enclose for your information and guidance the
copy of an opinion which I have caused to be drawn up
by an eminent American lawyer, in regard to the bearing
of the neutrality laws of the United States upon the
subject of my de,patch on the Ist of December last.
You will bear in mind that, however desirous her Ma-
jesty's Government may be to obtain recruits, they are
still more anxious that the laws of the United States
should be scrupulously observed. I am consequently
instructed to recommend to you the utmost caution in
order that no cause of complaint on this ground be given
the United States Government.
I would particularly draw your attention to that clause
of the act of 1818, which renders it penal to " hire or
retain" any person to go beyond the limits or jurisdic-
tion of the United States with intent to be enlisted.
But notwithstanding all efforts to prevent infractions
of the law, persons who had volunteered their services to
persuade men to proceed to Halifax, had, without autho-
rity from any one, gone to improper lengths, partly from
their zeal and partly from their not understanding the
nature of the business, which was not to " enlist, hire,
or retain," but to give advice to what point volunteers
could go to enlist with legality and propriety. Mr.
Crampton, to put an end to such irregularities, at length
undertook the long journey to Canada and to Nova
Scotia, to put matters right, and at the last place he
issued the following instructions :
Memoranda for the guidance of those who are to make
known to persons in the United States the terms and
conditions upon which recruits will be received into the
British army :
1. Those parties who may go to Buffalo, Detroit, or
Cleveland for this purpose, must clearly understand
that they must carefully refrain from anything which
would constitute a violation of the laws of the United
States.
2. They must, therefore, avoid any act which might bear
the appearance of recruiting within the jurisdiction of the
United States for a foreign service, or of hiring or re-
taining anybody to leave that jurisdiction with the in-
tent to enlist in the service of a foreign power.
[Both these acts are illegal by the act of Congress of
1818, sec. 2.]
4. There must be no collection, embodiment of men,
or organisation whatever attempted within that jurisdic-

tion.
5. No promises of contracts, written or verbal, on the
subject of enlistment, must be entered into with any per-
son within that jurisdiction.
6. The information to be given will be simply that, to
those desiring to enlist in the British army, facilities will
be afforded for so doing on their crossing the line into
British territory, and the terms offered by the British
Government may be stated as matter of information
only, and not as implying
.any promise or engagement
on the part of those supplying such information, so long
at least as they remain within American jurisdiction.
7. It is essential to success that no assemblage of the
persons should take place at beer-houses or other similar
places of entertainment, for the purpose of devising mea-
sures for enlisting : and the parties should scrupulously
avoid resorting to this or similar means of disseminating
the desired information, inasmuoh as the attention of the
American authorities would mot fail to be called to such
proceedings, which would, undoubtedly, be regarded by
them as ais attempt to carry on recruiting for a foreign
power within the limits of the 'United States ; and ti
must certainly be borne in mind that the institution or
legal proceedings against any of the parties is question,
even if they were to elude the penalty, would be fatal
to the success of the enlistment itself.
8. Should the strict observance of these points be
neglected, and the parties thereby involve themselves in
difficulty, they are hereby distinetly apprised that they
must expect no sort of aid or assistance from the British
Government--this government would be compelled by
the clearest dictates of international duty to disavow
their proceedings, and would, moreover, be absolved
from all engagements contingent upon the success of the
parties in obtaining by legal means soldiers for her Bri-
tannic Majesty's army.
