STUART TO MR. SEWARD. SeeremPer, 1862. The undersigned has received instructions from her Britaanic Majesty's Principal Secretary of Stato to ad. dross to the Secretary of State of the United States a fur ther representation Fespecting the restrictions Imposed by the United States government on trade-betweea Now York and ports in the British West Indies. The under. signed is lustructed to say that her Majesty's government consider the question to be one of great importance, and that, however desirous they may be cf making every allowance for the difficulties of the position of the United States government, Ht is tmpogsibie for them to acquiesce in the eystem of interference with the legitimate trade of Great Britain which is now practised by tho United States authorities, sven interference being not only in cou traveation of tho'existing treaties between Great Britain aud tho United States, but boing also contrary to the es- hed principles of International law, It appears that hh vessels iawfuily trading between New York and ahamas are i some instances refused clearances at others, after baying been rogitlarly by the United States authori- » board, are detained and searched, and sro required either to reland portions of their cargoes or to give honds that no part of the cargo shall at any in- definite time be used by the enemies of the United States, and these proceedings are not claimed to be prescribed by Any general law or regulation of commerce, but are avow} ed to be wholly discretionary with the Collector of thé Customs, to be enforced by him wheosoever he shall enter tain the euepicion and belief that the real destination of the cargo ie mediately or immediately to some port in the possession of the enemies of the United States, or if bo «hail be satisfied that “there is imminent danger that the goods, wares and morchan‘lise, of whatsoever descrip. tion, laden on such vessels wii! fall into the posression or f the control of the insurgents,” &e. The Collector cnstoms in his report of the 12th of Jone states that ‘in the exercise of the discretion devolved upon him as anofficer of the govermment of a sovereign people, he hud prohibited the shipment of coal and dry goods and shoes, ‘end quinine aod drogs, and tinware and munitions of war, and sundry other articles to Nassau and the Weet Indies, and to other foreign ports, when he had reason to suspect that they Were intended by individual enterprise or the special contracts of British subjecta to contribute firectly to the welfare of the enemies of the United Statos.”’ The andersigned is instructed to state that hor Majesty's government cannot cail to mind any prin. Siple of mternational jw , nor any t approved by international law, to jostify such interfer. once with the trade of neutrals. would sabmit to the consideration of the net of Woshington that ae ae ee nak anes a the Mnited States—at least as to ports the undisturbed esion of tl ted States—is oot in any degree affected by the state of war in which the United States are ongaged; and moreover, hat trade botween Great Britain and am enemy of the Coited Statoe—the former preserving a strict nev- \y oF indifference between the belligerent par. ties of the articles « ties—can be alected only in the manner and to the extent ‘ded by tho international law of blockade.

It haaa right within its own ‘urisdiction fo emu joy all the means necessary to male these prohi- bitiong cifective. It doce not appear to the u-dereigned that tho United States have surrendered this right by the convention between themselves and Creat Britain which has been rectted. Tt is trae that by tho iirst articte of the co tion Of 1615 Rritish merchants have Wberty fully and freely to come with their shins and car- 008 into ports, rivers, and places within the Zerritories: Of the United States, ani to be pretacted in their com- merce there: but this right is expressly restricted to the ports, rivera and places only into which other toreigners ace permitted to enter, and jn which they aro permitted to resido and trade; and they are moreover oxpressly do- Aared, while entering, residing and trading in auch ports re pnd pinces, to i? Bubject to the laws an staTutos ot thé ad EniMeries, 0, by the third article Of the convention of 1815, it ia.atipulated that prohibitions shall not be imposed on the exportation or Importation of auy articles the growth, produce or monufacture of either country; this atipulation. however, is mot absolute, but only a stipulation that any sucb prohibition shall ex- tond equally to all other nations as weil as Great Britain. Tho law of Congress secme to be free from the apocial objections which are raised by Mr. Stuart, Is doos not confine its prohibitions or its requiroments to British vessels trading between New York and tho "ahamas, but applica thom to all vessels of all nations, including the United States, wherever trading, whether with the Vana- mas or any other part of the worid. The prohibitions and requirements are not uncertain as to the authority which prescribes thom or the ‘orm of the prescription, but they are declared and nizated ip solemn enactment by the Congress of the United States. The conditions on which the prohibitions requirements are suspended are not Jeft to capricos.suspicions or beliefs: but they are do- pendent on satisfactory evidence of ascertainable facts. ‘They involye no question of neutral rights, because no houtral has or can have a right moro than any citizen of the United States to do an act within their exclusive ju- risdiction which 1s forbiddén by the statutes and laws of the country. Tho act has nothing to do with the biock- ade of the insurrectionacy ports, because it confines ita prohibitions and requirements to transactions occurring and to persons residing or being within the ports actually possessed by the United States, and under their unquestioned protection aud control. o* * % + Fuily admitting tho principle for which Mr. Stuart 80 ovrnestly contends that a Preppeaibes and oven recula. tons and Jaws of the United Statos which affect foreign commerce must not discritninate to theprejidice of Great Britain, the undersigned finds no adequate grounds for supposing that the principle is violated in the regulations. ‘The instructions issued on the 14th of April and tho 18th of May, prohibiting the exportation of coals to ports within geographical limits, which toave freedoin of export to more than one half of the world, may seem to furnish ground for exception. But the probibition applies to all American and all foreign merchants, v and cargoos, ag well as to thosctof Grent Britain, ard to all the States which are sitaated within the assigned limits, ag weil as to British dependencies situated therein. It is understood to be an accepted maxim that no law reaches in effect beyond the sd where the reason of the law fails, especially if the law so extended ahonld be productive of injuries withont object and without compensation and ‘Venelit. There is not the slightest reneon to suppose that the insurgents of the United Ktates could in any way do- tive a benefit from the exportation of anthracite coal. to Archangel, or to Shanghae, or to Japan, Nor fs it mani fest that the British nation, ils merchants aud vessels, do not, in common with other nations, their merchants and ‘vessels, derive benefits and advantages from the exports perthitted to all ports, of whatever nation, beyond tho limit assigned by the Secretary of the Treasury. Never. theless, the President, desirous to remove all pos- sible grounds for misconstruction, bas directed that those two instructions shell bo reacinded, so that the case will tnd altogether = upon the act of Congress and the general instruction of the Treasary which have been recited. In regard to tho special proceedings of the Collector of the Customs at New York which are complained of, the information pre- sented. to the undersigned is vague and ancertain: there 1s no satisfactory evidence in the papers under considera. tion that he has in any cage denied a clearance or exacted abond which involved any infringement of the law of Congress ‘and the regulations of the Treasury. This government will cheerfully examine upon its merits any caso of tufringement which may be presented to it, and will promptty render the redress which shall be due, if the complaint should be sustained; it will further cheor- fully instruct all its collectors that, in performing thotr duties, they will be governed by not mi the letter, but the spirit of the regulations of the Treasury and of the act of Segre 80 a8 to make no injurious or invidious discrimwation to the prejudice of Great Rritain.

Her Majesty's government do not conceive that apy real donbt or Obscurity can rest upon the facts, eapecially after the broad and goneral avowals contained in Mr. Barney’s letters. The distinction, however, now draw by Mr. Seward may Lam the hope that although the proceedings of the New York Custom House towards tae Bahamas trade have not been hitherto disavowed or condemned by the United States government, the remon- strances of her Majesty's Government "may, ‘novertheless, have tho practical efiect of preventing the ctatinuance or repetition of similar proceedings in apy future caso in which British trade may be concerned. Mr. Seward comments on this despatch at considerable ee, and says he most again declare that he is unable to find in the papers which the discussion has produced any evidence whatever that the act of Congress had been administered 80 as to apply invidiously or even discri- minatingly against Great Britain. MR. SEWARD TO LORD LYONS.

The undersigned finds no oceasion for maintaining #0 broad @ proposition as that which {s in s.me sort attri- bated to Lim by Bar! Roesell, namely, that no what. ever done within the territory of the United and ‘authorized by Congress, can be inconsistent with the en- kagements Contained in the treaty betwoen the two countries which was concluded in the year 1815, The undersigned has intended simply to inset that Con- gress may, without violating that treaty, direct within the jurisdiction of the United States any modification of commercial intercourse necessary in & state of civil war, which, not being in violation of the law of nations, is ea. sontial to the public safety, provided that it imposes no prohibition upon sabjects of Groat Britain which is not equally imported upon the subjects of ail foreign Powers ‘end upon citizens of the United States, “ The undersigned is happy to agree with Farl Russell that Congress conld not, consistently with the treaty, enact alaw which should prohibit any trade with the Ba. hama#, unless ber Majesty would engage to protibit and preveut all trade between the Babamas and the Confede- rate Btater, But tho undersigned does not find in the despatch of Earl Russell any satistrctory demonstration that what bas been done at the Custom House of New ‘York waa tho use of the machinery of an act passed in ‘ve su0 and general terms for practically the same purpore, and therefore, in trath, the same thivg. The undersigned algo fully admite the principle for which Fart Russell contends, that the laws and statutes to which the trade ander the treaty ts to be subject must be definite lawe and definite statutes, which foreigners can understand and observe as eroment while within the y; not laws, 80 called, which gathorize subordinate officers of the government to give or withhold at their discretion those rights which the United States have engaged by ibe treaty 0 secure to Heh subjects, But wnders goed he act of Congress which has elicit: Russell ts in all respects just toch a definite statute as the principle thus aeknowledved contemplates, The object of the statute is to authorize the Cotleetor to refuse mite for merchandise which may de der inte the bands io the fret of of the insurgents. Tho existence of dosia these cases, and the oxistenoe of imminent danger in the other, are facts which must frequently, 4 mot always, Be determined by an exumination of ctroumetances.

All the world knows tnat if t no part 0° the pro- — of the South to atempt to subjugate the North. This nevther would, should nor can do. Again, almost all the statesmen , either of Fngiand or of the continent, who have watched the progress of events since the war began, admit that the Union, the bond of which was voluntary fraternization, cannot be restored by force of arms, ‘Since, then, the Union is gone, and neithor party can subjugate the other, « follows that the war is net to be ended by the sword. Other agents have to be ealled in play, What,are they? Let us inquire. They are, divisions in the camp of the enemy, diasensions among the people of the North. here is already a arty there. All the embarrass. ments with which that party can surround Mr. Lincoln, and all the difficulties that ican thraw in the way of the war yar'y in the North, operate directly as 0 much aid and comfort to the South.

The fact is, public opinion in this country would no more tolerate a Joiorson Brick on the press than it would tolerate a Cas- sus Marcellus Ciay aa the Oneen’a representative at a first rate court. And in America there fortunately exists a Jarge vlass, composed of men guided by. an exalted sense of henor, whose cheeks tingle with shame and indignation at the valgar and malignant gasconade which streams from their newspaper offices ond from the lips and pons of so many of their countrymen whom the exigeucies of universal suffrage have pushel into positions of the gravest responsibility.

The Peterhoff's Condemnation, THE TESTIMONY AT THE LATE TRIAL AT CROYDON, [From the London Times, August 20.) Mr. Seward willenvy Mr Bevill the opportunity he en- joyed in the Assize Court of Croydon on Monday last of crosa-examining tho charterer of the Peterho. Of course, Mr. Seward knows very well in 2 general way how these matters are managed. People like tw back their opinions and to render their sympathies proft- able; and they make a purse, and they choose a swift ship, and they stuf her hold with’ gunpowder and quinine and other articles equally contraband for their powor to kill and their power to cure, and then they get a desperato crew, a daring captain, and’a shrewd superearge, and away she goes to break the blockade ifsnecan, to get to Matamoros if she must, or to land her combustibies et some conveniently proximate port if every other attempt fails. Mr. Seward knows all this; but neither he nor Mr. Adams has been able to get at the details of these arrangements. Mr. Adams is kept in such Egyptian darkness that it is said the very ship to which he had actually granted that famous pass to Matamoros has just been taken and found crammed with contraband of war, Mr. Seward cannot be exported to know any more than Mr. Adams knows; bat might have got a great deal of information out of that Mr. Kahoweiler, ‘‘of Frankfort and of Wiimmgton, in the Confederate States of America,” who was discontented with the ulmate appropriation of some saitpetre and ir which be ha: desined for Charleston, but which arrived at Now York.
