W lCH (WHICH
men, loaded by Englishmen, despatched
by Enslishmen, manned by Englishmen
continue to leave English ports, under
English colors, under the very eyes @
the American Legation and the English
Foreign office, full of goods of contra
band of war, in aid of those in open re
bellion against the Federal Government
when Lord Palmersten replies TO Mr.
Adams, Yes, we know it--catch then
if you can; when it becomes generally
known that the English army is seces
sion, the English navy is secession, the
English Church is secession, the Eng
lish Parliament is secession, the English
aristc oracy is secession, the English
mercantile Marne and the English bank
ers are secession, as you may any day
see by reading the secession articles in
the English secession daily, weekly and
monthly press-I say. when you see the
entire dress circle of England is seces-
sion to the back bone, it is time to de-
clare, from personal observation, that
the English pit is sound, and goes for
| the Union to the last.
L
galleries are true to the Union cause.
! War between England and America is
absurd, simply because when the war
Cabinet declares war, the peace people
will demand peace. The people of Eng
land will not fight the people of Amer
lea; but the leaders are doing their best
to egg them on to bloodshed. The dri-
yer of the stage coach can place all the
passengers in the river if he chooses,
but the Premier fears that he cannot
jump off in time to save his own neck.
English politics are in rotten state
nobody knows ybody; German politics
are equally mixed, French politics are
muddy, Russian politics are rather hazy,
while American politics are divided into
the party of traitors and the party of
patriots.
There are more of the former in Eu-
rope than the latter, l regret to say
Secession seems fashionable with many
of our merchants and bankers abroad
They think it for their interest to be
| neutral, as they call it. [ consider
neutrality the basest kind of treachery
AN open enemy is preferable to a neu-
tral friend. The highwayman who de-
mands your money or your life in open
road is nobler than the scamp who fires
at you from behind a tree and robs you
afterward.
England's neutral position is con-
temptible. | have seen one, two, three
vessels load under my very face with
ch r.
the Southern conspirators.
Tessier took in eighteen large rifed
guns, two one hundred and twenty
pound Whitworths, 1900 Enfield, 49,
900 Belgian rifles, 10000 pairs of shoes
and 10000 overcoats in the Bermuda.
The Fingall left the Scottish shore
fortnight since with duplicate cargo.
The Thomas Watson, I am glad to see,
has been sunk off Charleston. One or
two other vessels are now due at the
pirate rendezvous; but this letter, made
public through your columns is to make
sure and stop the Gladiator, 500 horse
power, 600 tons; steams nine and half
knots; old Lisbon screw steam packet;
sold by Bake, Adam e. Co.; loaded by
the '.private Joint Stock Company"
(unlimited) of English and Southern
secessionists, with 600 cases rifles, can
non, shoes, blankets, provisions and
large quantity of gunpowder, which she
took in last night at Erith. She clears
to o-day for Tencrife and Nassau.
l have given all these particulars to
A. B. Marchard, Esq, Commander
United States steamship james Adser,
j est arrived at Southampton via Queens
town and Falmouth, 1G3 men and nine
guns, who is fully alive to capturing
this English estimated value of
cargo 960,O00-having on board the
requisites for an army of 25,O 600 men,
The chief men in the company are re-
ported to be Sabel passenger and ship
broker, LiverpooD Capt. W. D. Hughes
(Southerner), Prieleard Charleston
firm of Frazer, Hewholm & Co, Liver
pooD, Bake, Adam & Co. purchasers
and dispatchers of the steamer, and
Isaac Campbell & Co., (army outftters,
Germyn street, London,.) The bust
ness is done in shares, and is SO profta-
BILE that if two ships are taken the Ber-
muda's profit will cover the loss of the
others. Capt. Bird will go in command,
Harrop as mate, Hughes as supercargo;
bales and cases marked w. D. III. in
triangle beneath.
If your gunboats get this information
on the arrival of this mail, they can
in case she escapes the James Adger-
catch her at Nassau. There they will,
no doubt, discharge into schooners, not
wishing SO many eggs in one basket
She will be twenty days in getting out
ample time to catch her.
The foregoing facts may be relied
upon as far as possible. A defective
watches all their movements, and these
pirate merchants may possibly find out
that they are watched and all their plans
known by some of the loyal Americans
in England.
England permits these ships to leave;
yet last March, you remember, the
British Government seized the cargoes
of arms dispatched from Italy to the
Dardanelles, even before she knew or
yet knows anything of their projected
destination; but when the munitions of
war are against the Government at
Washington, Lord John Russell writes
to Hayman, Of Liverpool, that they
must take upon themselves all the risk
of the hazardous enterprise.
Free flag covers free goods; but rifles,
cannon and gunpowder are not free
goods when bound to the American
coast, where war is raging against the
England recognizes the United States
and is bound to give moral,
if not physical, support to our Legation.
Is England ambitious to be the fitting
