The following is Earl Russell's reply to the memerial of the Emancipation Society, relative to the steam rams in the Mersey: Formicn Orvicr, Ang. 13.

My attention has Jong been directed to these su-iects, Boththe Treasury and Home De- pa: tments have, at my request made most anx- ivus inquiries upon the subject of these steam rams. You are aware that, by the foreignenlistment Act, & ship 1s liable to be detained, and the own- ers are subject to a penalty, when the ship is armed or equipped for purposes of war, and the owners intend to gee her against some State or community in friendship with her Majesty. It is necessary to prove both the equipment and theintennon. Itis necessary for convic- tion in a public court, in justice, to have the evidence of a creditable witness. I was in hopes, when I began to read your memcrial, that you would propese to furnish me with evidence that the steam rams in ques- tion 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 you are informed that so.und-80, and it is believed that co-and-so is the fact. You must de aware, however, that according to Briush law, prosecutions cannot be set on fcot upon the ground of violation of the foreign enlistment act, without the affidavits of credi- table witmesses, a8 in other cases of misde- meanor and crimes.
