Gentlenaen:-I have received your letter
c,lling attention to asubjsc ,f grave apor
tance, namely: Fitting out or eq,lipping
two powerful iron plated steam rams, which
| am informed are intended. to commit hos
tilities against the Government ana pc ,ple
fofthe United States. My attention has
been directed tothese subjects. Both the
treasury and home departments have, at
my request made most anxious inquiries
upon the subject Of these rams Yous are
aware that, by the foreign enlistment act,
"a ship is liable he detained and the ow n
ers subject to penalty when the ship is
armed Or equipped for purposes Of war, and
he owners intend to use her against some
State or community in friendship with her
Majesty. Tt is necessary to prove both
equipment and intention. 1t is necessary
for conviction ina public court Of justice to
have the evidence of credtable Witness
I was in hopes when I began to read your
memorial that you would propose to furnish
me with evidence to prove that the steam
rams were intended to carry on hostilities
agninst the Government and people of the
United States. but you have made no pro-
posal of that sort, and only tell me that you
are informed that so-and-so, and it is believ
ed that so-and- so. You must be aware
however, that according to British law pros
ecution can't be set on foot upon the ground
ofaviolaton of the foreign enlistment act,
without affidavit of cred,table witnesses, as
in other cases Of misdemeanor and cri,ne.--
