r,esrd for the dictates of international county, Mr.
CHAMPION should, il would seem, have disclosed "a me
all Ia, assures intended TO lie pursued within the United
States BY the agents of his Government, includiag
himself in execution of she act Of Parliament foe
raising a Foreign Legion. Nay, be was expressly
command I'd by his Government to practice no con
&C alment with the American Government on the sub
ject Ifhc had obeyed these orders all ssd
ING between the two Cover would have been
prevented. Mr.. CHAMPION was the more i'm
peratvely called upon to make full explanations
The subject, aot only because be Was commanded
by his Goyenmc Mt 10 do so, but for the further
son that Immediately after the breaking out of the
war between Great Britain and France on the one
hand ard Russia on the other, he had by an official
note addressed to me- invoked the efforts of this Gov
eminent 10 enforce upon the inhabitants of the cOun
tCllZtDs or Htctseity VI
stfctest neutrality toward the beigerent parties and
especially to enoin upon them TO absts from taking
part in ornaments for the service OF Russia in any
other measure opposed to the duties OF
strict neutrality. To this application the I'M
dersieped by express direction of the President
Piled declaring that the United States, while claim
ing the full enjoy ment of their rights as neutral
power will observe the stnctest neutrality toward
each and all the beigerents Reference was made TO
the severe restrictions imposed by law not only
upon citizens of the United States, but upon all per-
sons resident within its territory, prohibiting the enlist
ing Of uen therein for the purpose OF taking part IN
any foreign war; IL was added that the president ava
not apprehend any attempt to violate the laws, bit
cloud his lust expectations in this respect be disap-
pointed be will fail in bis duty to all the power
with which be nvt sted To enforce obedience to them
In view of this formal aud solemn appeal by Mr..
CHAMPION to the American Government, and OF the
he received of its determination to maintain
strict neutrality Wa not 70, o%Gss
or believe he would be permitted to set on foot and
execute for period of five consecutive months sys
teUatic scheme to Obtain military recruits for the Brit
fb service i'll the United States.
That Mr.. Champion did enter most deeply into thi !.
.eh, me is proved by evidence already submitted to
her Msjesty's Government, but is still more concu
siv.y established by the additional proofs which &C
company this dispatch Whatever detraction from
the value Of the testimony against Mr.. Champion
nay result from the attempt to dscredlt Strobel and
Heitz is much more than made up by the additional
pI oofs now adduced. This body of sIong cumulative
evidence confirms the Presidents former conclusion
to the completely of Mr. Champion and the British
Consus at New-York, Phiac ephia and Cincinnati,
in the illegal enterprise of recruiting sol Hers Tor tue
British army within the United States, and the Presi-
cent does not doubt that when this new evidence shall
be brought under the consideration OF her Majesty
Government it will not Longer dissent ron ON

recruiting question IN far respects the action OF
the British Government ITSELF has induced MN 10 eA-

Msjesty's Miniter and C0nsuls. This examination
has not produced that effect but the contrary has

Governments require that those persons should cease
