Three letters from the Foreign Office to the Home Secretary concerning the imprisonment of certain American citizens in Ireland.
A letter forwarding a letter from George Bancroft, American Minister, regarding the imprisonment in Ireland of an American subject named James Bergen, who was arrested at Dublin on charges unknown to him.
A second letter forwarding a copy of a letter from Lord Palmerston to Bancroft, regarding the imprisonment of James Bergen and Richard Franks Ryan, accused of treasonable practices, in connection with an attempted outbreak in Ireland, backed by certain associations in New York. He notes that it is well known that private associations have been formed and public meetings held in the United States to encourage, assist and organise rebellion in Ireland. The British Government is taking precautions regarding the arrival of Americans in Ireland.
A third letter sending a despatch from Crampton, Chargé d'Affaires at Washington, containing a letter addressed to the New York Herald by Bergen, one of the men imprisoned [despatch and letter not enclosed].
