ADMIRALTY, Jan. 80, 1852.
Mr.. 20 giRL RrssuL-
Nr. Adams, in letter addressed lord Russell, and
dated 22d November 1861 after stating that appeared
the Nashville was not equipped under commission as
shpofwar, nor even with tho preence OF letter OF
marque, says
while pursuing its way quietly TO its destination In its
own country, seems in itself little to harmoniZe with
the general sentiment among clviliZeu ana commercial
nations when IL Is committed under tho authority
OF recognized boiligerent; but when voluntarily
dertaken by individuals not vested with tho powers
generally acknowledged to be necessary to justify
aggressive warfare, it approyiinates too closely within
the delnt0n of piracy to receive the smallest
tenance from any Christian people: Tho undersigned
government, which has voluntarily renounccd tho autho
rity to wage private war at sea- would not fail to visit
with its utmost indignation any attempt to seek shelter
under It's jurisdiction from tho consequences Of adulgng
purely partisan maco in unauthorized acts Of violence
on the ocean.
Tho purpose Of tho undersigned in presenting these
papers the consideration Of Lord Russell is request
that her Maestys government will cause an inquiry to
bo the circumstances Attending this exraordi
nary proceeding and will adopt such tho
case upon investigation, may TO demand This in
qury may be solicited the ascertanment of two classes
oil facts The first to the authority by this
sel to commit 80 aggressive an act on the citizens OF
friendly Powor and then to claim refuge and recognition
In tho harbors Of Great Britain Tho second in the
nature OF that authority bo deemed sufficient at least in
tho view Of her Maestys government the purposes
for which the ship is alleged to havo come across the
the ports Of Great Britain for carrying against
the people Of friendly nation In the former case, tho
question will arise whether tho vessel be be sub
ject to due process OF law common dsturbcr of the
peace Of the world In the second, whether recognized
belgerent shall shall not be permitted with mpunity
TO violate the terms OF her Maestys proc amation for
bidding the fitting out within the ports Of Great Britain
Of any armament intended to be used against nation
with which she is at peace.
Tho undersigned Is compelled, with great reluctance
to call tho attention Of Lord Russell the fact for
steamers nave
equipped and despatched from her Maestys ports, by
pc i'll disposed to the government Of the United
States. with the intent to supply those who
TO overthrow with further materials to attain their
object.

Ierd Russell has already given directions that no In.
frngement of the Foreign Enlistment act shall be per-
mi ted in regard to the Nashville.
On November %, Lord Russell writes -
With regard to the first point the undersigned has to
state that the Nashville appears to be Confederate
Of war; her commander and officers have commissions
in tho styled Confederate navy Of them have
written orders from tho Navy Department at Richmond
70 report TO Lieutenant pegram for duy board the
Nashville, and her crew have signed articles to ship
the Confederate navy.
In these circumstances the done by the Nashville
Of capturing and burning tho high seas merchant
vessel Of the United States bo considered as an
act volunary undertaken by individuals not vested
with powers generally acknowledged to bo necessary
Justify aggressive warfare does il all "approxi.
mate within the definition Of piracy"
Such being the OF her Majcsty's government on
the first point raised by Mr. Adams the undersigned
passes to the second.
The undersigned stated to Mr Adams in his informa,

jssy jurisdiction in conravenon Of the Foreign Enlist
with respect 10 the allegation made by Mr. Adams,
that OF the officers OF the Nashville be put
command Of vessels fitting out in British ports
for purposes hostile to the government Of tho United
evidence can be procured 70 that cect all parties con-
who shall be acting tho Foreign
Enlistment act shall be legally proceeded against with
