Mr. Adams to Earl Russell.

Legation of the United States, London, November 18, 1864.

My Lord: I now have the honor to submit to your consideration a copy of a letter from the consul of the United States at Liverpool, T. H. Dudley, esquire, covering the depositions of two seamen on board of the steamer Sea King, who have returned to that place. It will be seen from these that the statement which I had the honor to make to your lordship in my note of the 10th instant, on the subject of Captain Semmes, is sustained in every particular.

I pray your lordship to accept the assurance of the highest consideration with which I have the honor to be, my lord, your most obedient servant,

CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.

Right Hon. Earl Russell, &c., &c., &c.
