Mr.. seward to lord Lyons.
pEpARTMsNr On srATB,
WAsnINGToN, December 20, 1861.

WASHINGTON, UeceLnOer 20, 1901.
The Right Honorable Lord Lyons, &c.
F Ny LoRD:-Earl Russell's despatch of
November the 3Oth, a copy of which you
have left with me at my request, has been
submitted to the President.
The British Government has rightly con-
iectured what is now my duty to state,
chat Capt. Wilkes, in conceiying and exc
cutting the proceeding in question, acted
upon his own suggestions of duty, without
any direction or instruction, or even fore
knowledge of it on the part of this Gov
eminent. No directions had been given to
him, or any other naval officer, to arrest
the four persons named, or any of them, On
the Trent, or on any other British vessel,
or on any other neutral vessel, at the place
where it occurred, or elsewhere. The
British Government will justly infer from
these facts that the United States not only
have had no purpose, but even no thought,
of forcing into discussion the question
which has arisen, or any other which could
affect in any way the sensibiities of the
British nation.
It is true that round shot was fired by
the San Jacinto from her pivot gun when
the Trent was distantIY approaching. But,
as the facts have been reported to this Gov
ernment, the shot was nevertheless inten-
tionalIy fred in q direction SO obviously
divergent from the course Of the Trent as
to be quite as harmless as q blank shot,
while it should be regarded as a signal.
So also we learn that the Trent was not
approaching the San Jacinto slowly when
the shell was fired across her bows, but,
on tho contrary. the Trent was, or seemed
to be, moving under q full head of steam,
as if with a purpose to pass the San Ja-
cinto.
We are informed also that the boarding
officer (Lieut. fairfax did not board the
Trent with a large armed guard but he left
his marines in his boat when he entered
the Trent. He stated his instructions from
Capt. Wilkes to search for the four persons
named, in respectful and courteous
though decided manner, and he asked the
captain of the Trent TO show his passenger
list, which was refused. The lieutenant,
as weare informed, did.not employ absolute
force in transferring the passengers, but he
used Just so much as was necessary to sat
isfy the parties concerned that refusal or
resistance would be unayailing.
So, also, we are informed that the Cap
tain of the Trent was not at any time or In
any way required to go on board the San
Jacinto.
These notifications of the case as pre-
sented by Commander Williams are based
upon our official reports.
have now to remind your lordship of
some facts which doubtlessly were omitted
by Earl Russell, with the very proper ead
beconiias motive of allowing them 10 be
brought int6 The case, on the psG of the
United States, In tho way most satisfactory
to this Government. These facts are, that
at the time the transaction occurred an in-
surrectioni was existing in the United States
which this Government vas engaged in

THERE isaxagpe rnmor going the rounds
of the newspapers, that Englandis about
to renew her demands in regard to the
Maine boundary question, and also that she
will insistFon having now what she failed
to get some years ago in the adjustment Of
the boundary between Oregon and British
America. Such a demand at this time
that England was determined to have 9
difference with us; that she was persistent
in provoking hostilities.
Bnt we attach no credence whatever to
such rumors. They naturally grew out Of
the prospective trouble about the Trent;
and it is very reasonable to suppose that
the English seeessionists would not let slip
the opportunity to remind Great Britain of
former vexing questions ofaditference be-
tween her and the United States, as means
of heaping GOALS on the fire; but the Eng
lish Government is not to be d. ven out of
its propriety so far as to make war on us
without at least decent pretext. She
could not do 1t and retain the support,
either moral or military, of the other Euro.

peau powers, unless indeed all respect for
international law and usage, and all sense
of national justice are to be obliterated.
The pretext of the Mason and SlidelI
capture has been removed, honorably to
ourselves, and certainly in manner salts
factory to Great Britain. We do not APP
prehend any of these rumored encroach-
ments by that power. England could
make no greater mistake than to suppose
that because We didnot refuse peremptori-
ly to render reparation in that case, We
would resent nothing. Any attempt, pal
pably to provoke hostilittes on the part of
England, would rouse a deep and universal
spirit of resentment, that would be only
the bitterer for the little humiliation
which the majority Of people feel we have
suffered. s.
