^ A . pHarATCH from Secretary Marcy ^ -to Mr . Dallas , informing him of' the aiamissal of Mr : Grampton , -was laid before Congress on the ' 29 th ult . : It is dated May 27 , and commences by stating thatthe President " has been much ; gratified by the conciliatory spirit of the' note [ addressed to Mr . Dallas on the 30 th of April , by the Earl o £ Glarendon ] , and by the desire manifested by the Earl of Clarendon to ac ^ just the existing difficulties , and preserve and strengthen the friendly relations between the United . States and Great Britain . .... The unequivocal disclaimer by her Majesty ' s Government of ' any intention : either to infringe the law or disregard the policy ; -or not respect the sovereign rights of the
United States , ' and their expressions of regret—' if , contrary to their intentions , and to their reiterated directions , there has been any infringement of the laws of the United States '—are' satisfactory to the President . The ground of complaint , ao far as respects her Majesty ' s Government , is * 'thuB removed . " The President , however , still feels compelled to adhere to his original opinion , that the Federal laws have been violated by Mr ; Cramp ton * . and by Messrs . Matthews , Barclay , and Rowecroft , then British consuls at Philadelphia , New Yorkj and Cincinnati . These gentlemen are , therefore , informed that theUnited States Government cannot continue to haveany diplomatic or , official intercourse with them . But if the President is gratified to . perceive
that her Majesty ' s Government wonld not have hesitated tor comply with the 1 request , to- withdraw these officers from their official . position if it had entertained the views here taken of their conduct in regard to . recruiting , contrary , , to the laws and sovereign , rights of the United Statw . I need scarcely say that in making this request no interruption of the . diplomatic relations between , this Government and . that of Great Britain was anticipated , but . on : the contrary , the President was and is sincerely desirous to . keep them upon a most friendly footing . " Mr . Marcy further observes , that " the only embarrassment which attends th > e case is , the di fference of opinion between the : two Governments as to the complicity of those officers ( "Mr . Crampton and the consuls } in illegal
proceedings within the United States— ... .. .:.. .. . •• . The difference of opinioa may in some . degree be ascribed to ,, thp difference . | a « iews- of ; the two Governmeata , in respect to . the neutrality law and sovereign rightaV of the Union . " It is notiproposed , however , " says Mr . Marcy , " to continue the discussion upon that subject . " But he afterwards adds that he trusts it will . not be questioned that , it lies only with the judicial tribunals of the United States to iiuterprflt the municipal laws , and , '' to determine what acta are an . infringement of those laws . TI » is , ' , ' ) Conjtinuea Mr *> Sarcy , "is a matter which concerns ¦ the , internal administration , [ of the United States Government ]; and , it cannot allow the . agents , of any foreign power to controvert that construction , and justify of laws
Seir conduct by a different interpretation our , which virtually renders them ineffective for the purposes intended . " Mr . Marcy denies that the explanation of the'offioeTff * DpHcaWtf at alt'exontirate ^ 'i -t feem . ff oni the charges . advanced by the United States Government . Their denial" ^ does ; not traverse all the allegations against them ; " and ^ tlie impeachment of the testimony of Steobel and Hertz , by which they were implicated , is of no avail ; since , whatever - might be the character of those iwrtnesses , their depositions were supported by those of several other witnesses , and it is the custom , in Great Britain , as well as in America , to receive at times the evidence of accomplices . " The competency of such persons in a given case , and their credibility , are in both countries questions upon which the court and jury in their respective spheres of jurisdiction" decide . The estab
statements of Strobel and Hertz were not only - lished by ¦ those of other persons , but , as Mr . Marcy asserts , by original letters and undeniable acts of Mr . Orampton himuelf . " An to Strobel and JlerU , however , it may be observed , tho documents transmitted by Lord Clarendon as proving those persons unworthy , of credit , are entitled to but little weight , consisting as they do chiefly of exparie affidavits * detailing matters mostly of hearsay . They were agents selected and trusted by Mr . Crampton himself , and to them he committed most important 1 concern ' s . Nor does it aoem-to . be a _ thing of much moment in relation to tho present question , that StrobeL in consequence of imputed misconduct , wan dismissed from emolument by the Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia ,: and afterwards endeavoured to obtain money from Mr . Cnunpton . The fact remains that ho held a commission in the British Foreign Legion , and
that , as it ia clearly proved , and not denied , he maintained , as recruiting officer , and for a considerable period of time , association ,. personally or , by correspondence , with Mr . Crampton . TJke employment of Strobel by Mr . Crampton , their long aesociation in tho joint work of recruiting in the United States for the : Foreign Legion , and the distinction other Majesty ' s commission of captain in the corps conferred on ; Strobel , would soem , at Uaat i to deprive , Mr * . Cxampton of tho right to deny his eradibility as a ; witness *" , (» Mfti JHaroy > then ,, proceeds to charge Mr . Crampton ^ I th iiWVingtfnaflw ttoo JwUclttli Ow otbloii 1 |« Muy , y ± H&b , decUviog ., Jihfl * i Ah «»< narvlUt >** l » > . * W «> « i ) UwfMV-7 « p n- | inuod to enlist , or cause to bo enlisted , men for tho
"English aimjr Aura "snrong"the"p"Opulation : - of" the "United States . This course was persisted in through the mo riths of Ma > V June ^ July , and August . *¦ * The Earl of Clarendoni ii' behalf of her Majesty ' s Government , disclaims all intention to violate the laws , compromise the neutrality , or dUrespect the sovereignty , of the United States by the'enliatmen . t of troops within their territory . The President unreservedly accepts and is fully satisfied with this disclaimer . Of course the unlawful acts in question were not authorized by the British Government but the fact is nevertheless well established' that thev were done , and done in the name , and at the expense of the British Government . Who , then , is responsible ' for these acts ? .... In the documents on the
subject recently laid before Parliament , it is distinctly stated that the enlistments in the United States did not stop until Mr . Crampton gave orders for their cessation on the 6 th of August . He had the power to stop the acts of enlistment . He knew the proceedings were from the commencement exceedingly offensive to this Government , and that it was devoting its active energies to arrest them . He was bound to know—he could not but know what was notorious to all the world—that , through the months of April , May , June , and July , the recruiting agents in various parts of the United States , and conspicuously in Boston , New York , Philadelphia , and Cincinnati , -were keepi ng up a most unseemly contest with the law officers of the United States For
thus giving countenance to these illegal proceedings he is distinctly responsible . But his accountability extends yet further ; for the same documents show that the official suggestion to the British Government of the untoward scheme of obtaining recruits in the United States came from the correspondence of Mr . Crampton , and of the consuls at New York , Philadelphia , and Cincinnati , and that to Mr . Crampton was the superintendence and execution of the scheme committed ; and thus it is that he who directed , had power to stop the proceedings . . ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ It does not suffice for Mr . Crampton n < rt to say that he did not intend to commit or participate in the commission of any infringement of the laws of the United States ' . He was the directing head of the
long-continued infringements of the law . " Mr . Marcy thinks " it is not the least of the causes of complaint against Mr . Crampton that , by his acts of commission in this business , he was recklessly endangering the harmony and peace of two great nations which , by the character of their commercial relations , and by other considerations , have the strongest possible inducements to cultivate reciprocal amity . " The document further states : —" consulate at New York appears to have been the point at which the largest expenditures were made , and it is pr 6 ved by documents herewith transmitted , that payments at that consular office to some of the recruiting agents continued to be made by the secretary of the consul , in the -consul ' s presence , from time to time down to the beginning of January of the present year . "
A personal matter between Mr . Crampton and Mr . Marcy is thus explained by the latter : — " I repeat now , with entire consciousness of its accuracy , what 1 stated in my letter of the 28 th of December last , that at the interview on the-22 nd of March , the only one I ever had with Mr . Craropton , as he admits , in which the recruitment , business was alluded to , he [ Mr . Crampton 3 had satisfied me that his Government had no connexion with it , and was in no way responsible for what was-doing in the United States to raise recruits for the British army . But I am quite certain that on no occasion has he intimated to me that the British Government , or any of its
officers , was or had been in any way concerned in sending agents into tho . United States to recruit therein , or to use any inducements for that purpose . Nor did he ever notify me that he was taking , or intended to take , any part in furthering such proceedings . Such a communication , timely made , would probably have arrested the mischief at its commencement . " In further answer to Mr . Crampton ' s assertion that he really did make tins communication to Mr . Mnrcy , the American Secretary remarks : — " In tho defence of hia conduct , recently sent by him [ Mr . Crampton ] to hia Government , mnkea admissions inconsistent with the allegation that there
was no concealment on hia part , and that the recruiting arrangements wore communicated to me . He says :- — ' It is perfectly true that I did not enter into any details of means which were to bo adopted by her Majesty a Government to render available tho services of thoso who tendered them to us in such numbers . There seemed to bo obvious reasons for abstaining from this ; and , even " it had occurred to mo , I aliould have been unwilling to do anything which might have borne the appoaranco 01 engaging Mr . Marcy in any expression of favour or approbation of a plan favouring tho interests of one 01 tat parties in tho present war . All I could desire , on ws part , was neutrality and impartiality . ' 11 is reasons ior withholding from me tho detuiln of the enlistment Hyfliom
—the most important part of it for this Governmen - are not satisfactory . If Mr . Crampton bolioved thai what he wao doing or intended to do in the way ot " cruiting was right , ho could have had no r « lu ' . ' ' ! ,, communicate it to me , for his instructions « equireu to innko that disclosure . " .,, „ .
