Why did England Stop the Rebel Ramsl

| To the Editor Of the ~ Y Tribune:
| SIR: The detention of the Rebel rams
by the English Government has been at
tributed to various causes, all of which
probably had some effect 10 securing the
final result. But the steps which, in all
Ike lihood, decided the action Of the au-
thorities, and insured policy favorable
to the North, has not, SO far as am
aware, been made public.
The truth of the statement which fol-
lows may be implicitly relied on. 1t
was made to me by distinguished
American citizen, who has just returned
from England, where he enjoyed peculiar
facilities for bee )misg acquainted with
the less public affairs of the two coun-
tries, and who had the facts of the case
from headquarters.
While Mr.. Seward was absent on the
excursion 10 which he was accompanied
by certain of the diplomatic corps, Presi-
dent Lincoln wrote the following (unofh-
ciaIl letter to Mr.. Adams, our Minister
to Engand. Like most Of the Presi Dent S
pjthy letters it was very brief, and rar
substantially as follows:
What do the British Government
, mean? What do they want? Do the,
. really rant war: 1t may be the most dis
astrous thing in the world for US; aud i
is certainly what we most earnestly de-
, sire to avoid; but if those rams are per
! United to leave England, the people wi
:, force US into war, whether we wish it ,
-. not. We shall not be able to contr,
y, their evaporation, and the British Go,
e eminent ought to understand this"
~ Minister Adams upon receiving til
- letter called upon Earl Russell, and sal
~ to him, in substance:
nd Il do not call upon your lordship i
nf my official capacity. But have recei,
ed plain, outspoken, sincere letter fror
President Lincoln, which, though ad
dressed to me as private epistle and nc
~ as an official document, | am sure wa
not designed to be withheld from you

or He accordingly read the note to tn
CT English Minister for Foreign Affairs, an
o, closed by saying:
A. "This is not diplomacy, your lordshil
ne but the honest, straightforward dealin
