Earl Russell on the X rbel Rams.

The following is Earl Russell's reply to the
Eemerial OF the Emancipation Society, relative
TO the steam rams in the Mersey:
FOREIGN OFFICE, Aug "a
Genfiemea-I have received your letter calling
attention to a subject of very grave and inn
pressing importance, namely: the fitting ont
or qulpplng two powerful iron plated steam
rams. which am informed are intended to
commit hostilities against the Goyernmrntan6
people OF the United States
My attention has long been directed to these
su.lects. Both the Treasury and Home De-
pai tments have, at my request made most anx-
lous inquiries upon the subject of these steam
rams.
. You are aware that, by the foreign enlistment
act a ship Is liable 10 be detained, and the own
ers are subject TO penalty, when the ship is
armed or equipped Tor purposes of war and tho
owntrs intend to use her against some State OF
community in friendship with her Majesty.
III IS necessary TO prove both the equipments
ana 1he intention. 1t is necessary for con VIC
ton III public court, in jus tice, to have the
evidence OF 4 creditable witness
l was In hopes, when began to read your
memorial, that you would propose to furnish
me with evidence that the steam rams in cues
non were intended TO carry on hostilities
against the Government and people of the
United States; but you have made no propo
sal OF the sort, and only tell me that Won are
informed that so.and-so, and il is believed
that o-aHd. so is the fact
You must De aware, however that according
TO British law, prosecutions cannot be set on
loot upon the ground of violation of the foreign
enlistment act, without the aflidavits of credi-
table witnesses, as in other cases of misde
meanor and crimes. Such like wise is the la "
In use. Yours, &c, RUSSELL.
