NAsmSGroS, Oct. IA, 1861.
Sir: Her Naiesty's Government, wee
much concerned to find that two British
subjects, Nj. Patrick aud Mr. Rahrirg.
had been subjected to arbitrary arrest I.
and although they had learnt from q tel.
1gfhpmc dispatch from ne that Mr.
Patrick had been released they could uaj
but regard the matter IA cue requiring
their very serious consideration
Her Majesty's Government perceive
that when British subjects, as we'll as
American citizens, are arrested, they are
Immediately transferred 90 military
prison, and that the military authorities
refuse to pay obedience to writ OF
haJeas corprs.
iiet Maiesty's Government conceive
that this practice is directly opposed to
the maxim of the Constitution OF the L
), that no person shall be deprived OF
lille, libe- ", or property without due
process Of law
Her Majesty's Government are willing,
however, 10 make every allowance for
the hard necessities If time OF inter

has sanctioned ia this respect any de-

Law Officers ot the Crown have ADVISED

June il, 1861.

Governor of Vermont
SIR Yours Of the 10th inst. (relatiug 70 Sur
gcon and Surgeons mate) IS received. l have
occupied II iiiards iI0Jei, wuivu as s1uuI Ing
goth Of May, and have seen the Surgeon many
times every day since that time--aLd the assist
ant Surgeon, also, except a few days that he was
az the Hospital at the Font, since we en-.
camped here, and have repeatedly been present
at their examination of the sick, aud repeatedly
in tho Hospital, and during all that time l have
never seen the slightest appearance of in
toxication in either Of them. Ii the fact had ex-
listed, it could not have escaped my observation.
Dr. Sanborn has mad many difficulties to con-
tend with. lie has been compelled to organize
hospital, many times without sufficient room or
conveniences; there has been great deal of sick
ness in our camp frequently, at the morning re
port Of the sick, a large number have been await
ing his examination, many times since VIC came
here the hospital has been entirely filed and no
ro0m-an1 he would be more than human if lie
had not at times found his patience exhausted.
But he has, so far az my observation extends en-
deavored faithfully to perform his duty. Our ac-
eommodations are now enlarged. our necessities
for the comfort Of the sick are now supplied, and
they are as well cared for as Is possible. Both
the Surgeon and assistant Surgeon attentive,
careful, and earnest, and the people need have no
feeling Of apprehension that their friends are not
well cared for.
Some other motive besides an honest one must
exist for giving such information, if it is derived
from one who professes to know the truth Of the
fact which he alleges.
l am, with much respect, your obt serv't
