Laird Brothers to her Majesty’s Foreign Office and Treasury, October 31, 1863
[Telegram.—October 31, 1863.]
Laird Brothers to her Majesty’s Foreign Office and Treasury.
From Laird Brothers, Birkenhead, to Earl Russell, Foreign Office, Downing street, London.
Admiralty write that they have referred to the secretary of state for foreign affairs our telegraph and letter of 29th instant, protesting against the removal of the ironclads into the river Mersey. We renew our protest against moving the vessels from the dock, where they are now in perfect security either from forcible abduction or sea-risk. The weather is now most boisterous, and always uncertain at this time of the year.
A similar telegram sent to the secretary to the treasury.
