Why did England stop the Rebel
Rams.

k30m0Ss
A correspondent to the Y. N. "Trib.
une" tells the. following story, which
appears to bear the impress OF anthem
ticity. It shows how . plain, blunt,s
honest man may sometimes very sa.l.
factorily transact important business,
even nstional business, without the
machinery Of the -ircunloc utiq9. Of.
fice":
II tie Editor Of the N. Y. Tribune:
r S1R: The detention Of the rebel
rams by the English government has
deem attributed to various causes, all
Of which probably had some effect in
securing the final result.-Bnt the steps
which, in all likelihood, decided the
action Of the authorities, and insured
policy favorrble to the North, has not,
so far as I am aware, been made public.
The truth Of the statement which
follows may be implicitly relied on. II
was made to me by a distinguished
American ci,iszen, who has just returned
from England where he enjoyed ! ocular
facilities for becoming acq uainted 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 tho
excursion in which he vas accompani.
ed by certain Of the diplomatic corps,
President Lincoln wrote the following
(unofic,aD letter to Mr.. Adams, our
Minister in England, Like most Of the
Presidents pi,hy letters it was very
brief, and ran substantially as follows:
"What do the British Government
mean: What do they want Do they
really cant war; 1t may be the most
disasterous thing in the world for us and
it is certainly what We most earnestly
desire to avoid; but if these rams are
permitted to leave England, the people
will force us into war whether we wish
it or not. We shall not be able to con-
troll their evaporation, and the British
Government ought to understand this"
Minister Adams. upon receiving this let
ter, called upon Earl Russell, ard said
to MIN, in substance
I do not call upon your lordship in my
official capasity. But I have received
plain, outspoken, sincere letter from
President Lincoln, which though ad.
dressed to me as a private epistle and
not as an official document, I am sure
was not to be withheld from yonr
Hc 80 ,s"gly read,he note to the Eng
lise Minister for Foreign Affairs, and
closed by saying:
This is not diplomacy, your lordship,
but the honest, straightforward dealing
Of plain, blunt man.
A few days after the order for the do
tention Of the rebel rams was promul-
gated.
