FoRRIGR OFFICE, August IL. 1863.
GEELEMEN: have received your letter
calling attention 70 q subject of very grave
and pressing importance, namely: the 1T
ting ont or equipping two powerful iron
plated steam rams, which l am informed
are intended to commit hostihtles against
the government and people OF the United
States. My attention has long been di-
rected TO these subjects. Both the Treas
ury and Home Departments, have at my
request, made most anxious inquiries upon
the subject of these steam rams. You are
aware that by the foreign enlistment act a
ship is liable TO be detained, aud the own
ers are subject to a penalty when the ship
is armed or equipped for purposes OF war
and the owners intend 70 use her against
some state or community in friendship
with her Majesty. II is necessary to prove
both the equipment and intention. II is
necessary for conviction in q court of JUS
tice TO have the evidence of creditable
witness.
was in hopes when began to read
your memorial, that you would propose to
furnish me with evidence to prove that
the steam rams in question were intended
to carry on hOstilities against the govern
ment and people Of the United States, bu!
you have made no proposal Of the sort, and
only tell me that you are informed that SO
and SO, and it is believed that so and so.
You must be aware, however, that ac-
cording to British law prosecutions cannot
be set on foot upon the ground Of viola
ton of the foreign enlistment act without
the affidavit of creditable witnesses, as IN
other cases of misdemeanOr and crime
Such likewise is the law in use.
YouFs. &C., RUSSELL.
