Seward. our Seerethry of State. dated June 9. 1866. to our minister in Great Britain. Mr. Adams: Under these circumstances yon will be expected to suggest to Lard Clarendon the expediency of the exercise of clemency to the extent. at least. of releasing all of the American citizens. native or naturalized. who are in confinement upon the condition of their returning to the United States. . While such a proceeding on the part of the British Government would seem to be an entirely safe one. it cannot -be denied that it would have a tranquilizing effect here. Thus it will be seen that both governments have recognized and adopted that policy.
