It was commonly reported (and no contradiction is known to have been made), that she was built in part, if not Avholly, by a subscription of British merchants and capitalists. After she was launched, and while fitting for sea in the port of Liverpool, the American Minister, on the 23d of June, called the attention of Earl Russell to the fact, that she was believed to be fitting out for the especial and manifest object of carrying on hostilities by sea, and was to be commanded by an insurgent ag...ent. On the 25th, Earl Russell referred the matter to the proper department ; and, on the 1st of July, the commissioners reported, that " there loas no attempt on the part of her builders to disguise, ivhat loas most apparent, that she was intended for a vessel of war ; " '' that she had several poicder-canisters on hoard, ^^ but, " as yet, neither guns nor carriages ; " that the current report was, " that she had been built by a foreign government, which was not denied by THE Messrs. Laird, but that they did not appear disposed to reply to any questions respecting the destination of the vessel after she should leave Liverpool ; " that they, the commis- sioners, had no other reliable information ; and that, having referred the matter to their solicitor, " they concurred with him in opinion, that there was not sufficient ground to warrant the detention of the vessel, or any interference on their part.
