Lord Lyons TO Mr.. Seteard.
WAsHINeToN, October Il.
SIR: Her Majesty's Government were much
concerned to find that two British subjects, N r
Patrick and Mr.. Rahming, had been subject Il
arbitrary arrest; and although they had learnt
from telegraphic dispatch from me that Mr..
Patrick had been released, they could not but
regard the matter as one requiring their very
serious consideration.
Her Majesty's Government perceive that
when British subjects as we'll as American ci
tlzens are arrested they are Immediately trans
erred to a military prison, and that the militia
ry authorities refuse to pay obedience to writ
Of habeas corpus.
ller Majesty's Government conceive that this
practice is directly opposed to the maxim Of the
Constitution Of the United States, that no per
son shall be deprived Of life, liberty or proper
ty, without due process OF law"
Her Majesty's Government are willing how
ever to make every allowance for the hard ne
cessities OF a time OF internal trouble; and they
would not have been surprised if the ordinary
securities of personal liberty had been tempo
rarily suspended nor would they have complain
cd if British subjects falling under suspicion
had suffered from the consequences Of that sus-
picion.
But it does not appear that Congress has
sanctioned in this respect any departure from
the due course of law; and it is ia these circum-
stances that the law officers OF the Grown have
advised her Majesty's Government that the
arbitrary arrests OF British subjects are lille.
gal.
SO lar as appears to her Majesty's Govern
ment, the Secretary OF State of the United
States exercises, upon the reports of spies and
informers, The power of depriying British sub
jects OF their liberty, of retaining them in pris-
on, or liberating them, by his own will and
pleasure.
Her Majesty's Government cannot but re-
gard this despotic and arbitrary power as in
consistent with the Constitution OF the United
States, and at variance with the treaties OF ami.
ty subsisting between the two nations, and as
tending to prevent the resort Of 81 itish subjects
to the United States for purposes Of trade
and industry,
Her Majesty's Government have therefore
felt bound to instruct me to remonstrate against
such irregular proceedings and to say that, in
their opinion the authority of Congress is ne
cessary in order to justly the arbitrary arrest
and Imprisonment of British subjects.

| REsPECPED BRoTHER:--I am we'll and hone
you ere the same. We left Camp Robert An
derson last Thursday, and came here on last
Friday night. There was not one soul in this
camp on last Thursday morning. and by Fri
day night there was about 1900, and another
regiment is just coming in. Company A., OF
our regiment, was on picket guard last night,
and was attacked by about 100 rebel Cavalry.
and our men retreated about forty yards 10 the
woods and opened fire and killed twelve and
took five prisoners without any loss to u.s.
Gen. Buckner is within forty miles of us, with
about 10000 men, but their advance is within
twenty miles. We will attack their camp this
week-about the last Of it, suppose. We are
encamped on the farm OF old Daniel Boone, in
his old orchard, and forty five miles from Ten
nessee, twelve miles from the Mammoth Cave
think that we will push on to Tennessee -
We would now make an attack if we had more
artillery. By the last of the week we will
have about $4,000 men in our own army -
There are about 10000 Union men within
twenty-tive miles Of u.s. to count our own and

fifteen miles southwark of Eiizabethtown.
and that Buckner is advancing northward
from Bowling Green; with force variously
estimated at from 1000 to 10000.

Information has just reached me that
Buckner is approaching with about 1000
men 200 cavalry, and twenty-one pieces
of artillery.

probably at Elizabethtown. The men are

The Lsavenworth, Pawnee and Western
Railroad

AS the public have great interest in the
speedy construction of this Railroad, the
undersigned has been requested by the Di-
rectors of the Railroad to make q statement
of what has been done by him, in the city of
New York, to secure its certain construc-
ton.
In the last of July past, the undersigned
was sent to New York by the President and
Directors of the above named company, to
negotiate, if possible, a loan sufficient to
make sure of the completion of the Railroad
as far at least as Fort Riley.
The mission was undertaken with great
hesitation and many misgivings; while the
boldest and most sanguine scarcely dared
hope for success. Many West and East
thought it was at least folly. if not mad ness,
to make the attempt. in these dreadful times.
But such were the liberal and magnIfc
offers, the Company authorized me to make
Eastern men of capital, that our fullest
hopes were realized and our most ardent
wishes met. The whole Road to Fort hi
lev, can now be put under contrac', and the
contractors have the assurance that from
ten to twenty of the wealthiest and most
honorable men in New York are pledged TO
foot the BILL In other words they are pledg-
ed to loan the Company all the money they
may need TO construct and complete the
Road to Fort Riley. And this. with the
full understanding that they expect to do
the same, at least. to Denver.
Therefore. men who wish to purcesse
lands of this Company, may be assured that
the Road will be constructed at the earliest
day. safe and practicable from the disturbed
state of the country. But for this unhappy
state of things, there might be put to-day
from three to five thousand men and teams
to work on this Road; and their money
would be ready as fast a. their contracts
were completed or they called for II.
Hence, just as soon as it is safe to COM
mence this great enterprise, the Company
will commence it in good earnest. To this
end they are ready to put under contract all
that part of the Road. whether to Lawrence
or Topeka, as soon as surveyed and the
survey adopted. To give the more conf
dence to this statement, will add, if desir-
ed by any, the names of the gentlemen in
New York and other places, that have
made the above pledge. and who stand ready
to execute the said loan, so soon as the
money can be applied with safety to the
construction of said Road.
WILLIAM W. BAcKUs.
