DIPLOMATIC CORRESPONDENCE BE
TWEEN SECRETARY "SEWARD AND
iLORD LYONS.
jThe;tsfcUowlng oorrefpondence between Lord
Lyons, repreeenting the Gorernment of Her Bri
tanie Jlsjesly near the Government of the United
States, and, Mr. Secretary Seward, representing
Iinooln's Kingdom, touching the military arrests
of two British 6nbjec!s on the ground of their ali
leged complicity in ibe existing rebellion of the
Southern States against the Constitution and au
thority of the. Federal Govern men t, as unjustly
administered by Abe Lincoln, cannot fail to be
read with interest : r .
"Lord Lyam iSLySaBafd.t.
WAsmsoTOK, Oct. 14, 1861. .
'Sir : Her Majestj 's Government were much
eoncernHl Id&od that two British fubjects, Mr.
Patrick and Mr. Rah mi ig, bad been subjected to
arbitrary arrest; and although they bad learnt
from a telegraphic dispatch from me that Mr.
Patrick bad been released, they could not but re
gard the matter as one requiring their very seri
ous consideration.
Her Majesty's Government perceive that when
British subjects, as well as American citizens, are
arrested, they are immediately- transferred to a
military prison, and that the military authorities
refuse to pay obedience to a writ of habeas corpus.
Her Majesty's Government conceive that this
practice is directly opposed to the maxim of the
Constitution of the United States, "that no person
shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property with
out due process of law."
Her Majesty's Government are willing,- how
ever, to make every allowance for the hard ne
cessities of a time of internal trouble; and they
would not have been surprised if the ordinary se
curities of personal liberty bad been temporarily
suspended, nor would they have complained if
British subjects falling under suspicion had suffer
ed from the consequences of that suspicion.
But it does not appear that Coogrees has sanc
tioned in this respect any departure from the due
course of law ; and it is in these circumstances that
the Law Officers of the Crown have advised her
Majesty's Government that the arbitrary arrests
of British suljoctaare illegal.
So far as appears to her Majesty's Government,
the Secretary of State of the United States exer
cises," upon the upon the reports of .spies and infor
mers, the power of depriving British subjects of
their liberty, of retaining them in prison," or liber
ating them, by his own wilt and pleasure.
Her Majesty's Government, cannot but regard
this despotic and arbitrary power as inconsistent
with the C institution of the United States, at va
riance with the treaties of amity subsisting between
the two nations, and as tending to prevent the re
sort of British subjects to the United States tor
purposes of trade and industry.
Her Majesty's Government have therefore fU
bound to instruct me to remonstrate against such
irregular proceedings, and to say that, in their
opinion, the authority of Congress is necessary in
order to justify the arbitrary arrest and imprison
ment of Britith subjects. -
I have the honor to be, sir, with the highest
consideration, vour.mot obedient humble servant.
LYONS.
To the Hon. William H. Seward, Sx
Mr. Seward to Lord Lyons.
Dkpartment or State,
Washington, Oct. 14, 1861.
My Lord: I have the honor to acknowiede
your lordship's note of the present date.
Here follows a minute recapitulation ef the po
sitioni assumed by Lrd Lyons which being almost
word for word the letter of the British Minister,
we deem it unnecessary to publish it.
The facts in regard to the two persons named
in your note are e follows:
Communications from the regular police of the
country to the Executive at Washington ehowed
that disloyal persons in the Stateof Alabama were
conducting treasonable correspondence with Con
federates, British subjects, and American citizens,
in Europe, aimed at the overthrow of the Federal
Union by armed forces actually in the field and
besieging the Capital of the United States. A por
tion of this correspondence, which was intercepted,
was address'! to the firm of Smith & Patrick, bro
kers, long established and doing business lathe
city of 2tw York. It appeared that this firm had
a branch at Mobile, that the partner, Smith, is a
disloyal citizen of the United States, and that be
was in Europu when the treasonable paper were
Rent from Mobile, addressed through the house of
Smith & Patrick, in Nw York. On receiving
this information Wm. Patrick was arrested and
committed into custody at Fort Lafayette by an
order of the Secretary of "War of the United States,
addressed to the police of the city of New York.
These proceedings took place on the 28th of Au
gust last.
Representations were thereupon made to the
Secretary of Stae by friends on the part of Mr.
Patrick to the effect that notwithstanding his as
sociations be was personally loyal to this Govern
ment, and that he was ignorant of the ygeasonable
nature of the correspondence which was' being
carried on through the mercantile houee of which
he was a member. Directions were thereupon
given by the Secretary of S.ate to a proper agent
to inquire into the or'rectnem of the facts thus
presented, and this inquiry resulted in the estab
lishment of their truth. Mr. William Patrick
was thereupon promptly released from custody by
direction of the Secretary of State. Tbi release
occurred on the 13ihdy of September last.
On tbe second day of September the Superinten
dent of Police in the city of New York informed
tbe Secretary of State, by telegraph, that he had
under arrest J. C. Rahmingwho bad just arrived
from' Nassau, where he had attempted to in
duce tbe oners of the schr. "Arctic" to take
cannon to Wilmington, in North Carolina, for
the Qse of the rebels, and inquired what be should
do with the prWoner. J. C Rahming was there
upon committed into military custody at Fort
Lafayette, under a mnndate from the Secretary
of State. This commitment was made on tbe 2d
day of September. On the 17th of that month
this prisoner, after due inquiry, was released from
custody on his executing a bond in tbe penalty ot
$2,600, with acori'liiioii that be should thereafter
bear true allcgiar.ee to the United S.a tf, and do
no net hostile or injurious to tbeoi wbile romain
ing under their protection.
1 have to regret that, after so long an official j
intercourse between the Governments of tbe Unl- j
ted States and Great 'Britain., it should be oeeec
eary now to inform ber Majesty ' Miniters that j
all executive proceedings, whether of the Sacrta- J
ry of War or of tbe Secretary of S ate, are, unless )
disavowed or revoked by tbe President, proceed
ings of tbe President of tbe United Slates.
Certainly it is not necesnry to announce to tbe
B.-itUh Government now that an insurrection, at
tended by dvil and even social war, wm exist
ipg in tbe United States when tbe proceedings
which I have thus related took place. But it
doea teem neceesary to ktaie tr. Von information
of that Government that Congress Is by the Con
stitution invested with no executir power or re
sponsibility whatever. md, on the contrary, that
the Pre Went of tbe United States k, by the Con
stitution and laws, invested wftb the whole exec
utive power o Iha. Government, tut .charged
with the supreme direction of all municipal or
ministerial civil agents, as well aa of , the . whole
land and naval forces of the Union, and that, in- '
vetted with those ample powers, he is charged by
the Constitution and laws with the absolute duty
of suppressing insurrection as well as of prevent
ing end repelling invasion ; and that for ' theee
purposes be constitutionally exercises the right of
suspending the writ of habeas corpus, whenever
and wheresoever and in . whatsoever extent tbe
fiublic safety, endangered by treason or invasion
a arms, in his judgment, requires.
The proceedings of which the British Govern
ment complain were taken npon information con
veyed to the President by legal police authorities
of the country, and they were not instituted until
after he had suspended the great writ of. freedom
in just tbe extent that in view of the perils of the
State he deemed necessary. For the exercise of
that discretion he, aa veil as hi advisers, among
whom are, the Secretary of. War and the Secre
tary of 8tate, is responsible by law before the
highest judicial tribunal of the Republic, and amen
able also to the judgment of bii countrymen, and
tbe enlightened opinion of the civilized world.
A candid admission con tained In your letter re
lieves me Of any necessity for showing that the
two persons named therein were neither known
nor supposed to be British subjects when the pro
ceedings occurred, and that in every cateeubjecta
of her Majesty residing in tbe United States, and
under their protection, are treated during the
present troubles in the same manner, and with no
greater or lets rigor, than American citizens.
The military prison which was used for the
temporary' detention of the suspected parties Is a
fort constructed and garrisoned tor the public de
fence. The military officer charged with their
custody has declined to pay obedience to the writ
of habeas corputt but the refusal was made in
obedience to an express direction of the President,
in the exercise of his functions as Commander-in-Chief
of all the land and naval forces of the
United Slates. Although it is not very impor
tant, it certainly is not entirely irrelevant to add,
thr t, so far as I am informed, no writ of habeas
corpus was attempted to be served, or was even
sued out or applied for in behalf of either of the
persons named ; although in a case not dissimilar
the writ of habeas corpus was issued out in favor
of another British subject, and was disobeyed by
direction of the President.
Tbe British Government have candidly con
ceded, in the remonstrance before me, that even '
in this country, so remarkable for so long an en
joyment by its people of . the highest immunities
of personal freedom, war, and especially civil war,
cannot be conducted exclusively in the forms and
wth the dilatory remedies provided by municipal
laws, which are adequate to the preservation of
public order in a time of peace. Treason always
operates, if possible, by surprise, and prudence
and humanity, therefore, equally require that
violence concocted in secret shall be prevented, if
practicable, by unusual and vigorous precaution. '
I am fully aware oi the inconveniences which
result from the practice of euch precaution, em
barrassing communities in social life, rd aff-ct-ing,
perhaps, trade and intercourse, with foreign
nations.
But the American people, after having tried in
every way to avert civil war, have accepted il at
last as a stern necessity. The chief interest,,
while it lasts, is not the enjoyment of society, or
the profits of trade, but the savinlg of national
life. That life saved, all iheotber bTes-inga which
attend it will speedily return, with greater assu
rance of continuance than ever before. The
safety ct tbe whole people has become, in the pre
sent emergency, tbe supreme law, and so long as
the danger shall exist, all classes of society equal
ly, the denizen and the citizen, cheerfully ac
quiesce In tbe measures which that law prescribes.
This Government does not question the learn
ing of tbe legal advisers of the British
Crown or justice of the deference, which her
Majesty pajs to tbem. NevenheJess-ib British
Government will hardly expect that the Presi
dent will accept their explanations of the Consti
tution of the United Sta'ee, espciaily when tbe
Constitution, thus expounded, would leave upon
him the sole executive responsibility of suppress
ing the existing insurrection, while it wojld
transfer to Congress the most material and indis- '
pengable power to be employed for that purpose.
Moreover, these explanations find no real support
i n the letter, much less i o t be pf r it, of tbe Constitu
tion itself. He must be allow ed, therefore, to pre
fer and be governed by tbe view of our organic
national law whicj, while it will enable him to
execute bis great trust with complete success, re
ceives tbe sanction of tbe highest authorities of
our own country, and is sustained by the general
consent of the people, for whom alone that Con
stitution was established.
I avail myself of this opportunity to offer to
your lordship a renewed assurance of my very
high consideration.
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
The Right Hon. Lord Lyons, &c.
