LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 29, 1862.

ECCE ITERUM SEWARD ! but this time, if such
pun may be pardoned, Lord RUSSELL has fairly
" despatched" him. He survived the very cour-
teous demand for the release of the prisoners, and
a long writhing and wriggling reply showed that
the SEWARD vitality was hardly touched. This
time our Foreign Secretary has seized on each
portion of what we may in courtesy term his argu-
ment, and fairly crushed all life out of it. To be
sure the English part of the English press had em•
ployed several of Lord RUSSELL'S arguments, but
they are unquestionably worth more as Foreign-
office-coin than bullion in private hands. The in-
trinsic value may be the same, but the value is now
certified by the highest English authority. Our
readers will, therefore, just glance at them again

with pleasure.
Lord RUSSELL observes that it is only in the
Commissioners' capacity of belligerents, and on the
grounds of international law, that he can argue the
question with Mr. SEWARD. On this ground, at
some length, and quoting authorities which have
already been cited in this country, he shows con-
clusively that a neutral country, as England is, has
an undeniable right to maintain her communications
with both belligerents, and that the interest of her
numerous subjects residing in each requires her to
do so. He shews the necessity of agents being free
to pass between England as a neutral and the two
Confederations; and, above all, proves the impossi-
bility of anything whatever, much less persons,
being contraband of war when the destination was
neutral. The contraband must always have an
enemy's port for its destination. He shows the
utter irrelevancy of the reference to Sir WILLIAM
SCOTT'S dictum that "You may atop the ambassador
of your enemy on his passage ;" it had nothing to
do with an ambassador to a neutral country, and in
a ship of that country. You may stop an enemy's
ambassador in placer or ships of which you
are master, or against which you are in hostility,
but to stop them in a neutral vessel while proceed-
ing to the neutral country to which the vessel be-
longs, is an act not sanctioned by any writer or by
any precedent.
Lord RUSSELL notices the shameless assumption
of Mr. SEWARD that, according to British authori-
ties, the fact of the Trent's destination being from
one neutral port to another makes no difference in
regard to the right of capture. He admits that, if
the destination were only colourable and fictitious,
but the real destination hostile, the right of capture
would not be modified; but he denies that
any British authority, or, so far as he
knows, any American one, can be found
which would countenance Mr. SEWARD'S assump-
tion. His lordship gives illustrations which Mr.
SEWARD will not certainly be able to dispose of :
" For instance," he says, "in the present war, ac-
cording to Mr. SEWARD'S doctrine, any packet ship
carrying a Confederate agent from Dover to Calais

or from Calais to Dover, might be captured and

carried to New York. In case of a war between
Austria and Italy, the conveyance of an Italian

minister or agent might cause the capture of a
neutral packet plying between Malta and Mar-

seines, or between Malta and Gibraltar, the con

detunation of the ship at Trieste, and theAcuosntfirinae-
n
ment of the minister or agent in an
prison. So, in the late war between Great Britain
and France on the one hand, and Russia on the
other, a Russian Minister going from Hamburg to
Washfngton, in an American ship,
might have
been brought to Portsmouth, the ship might have
been condemned, and the Minister sent to the
Tower of London. So also a Confederate vessel of
war might capture a Cunard steamer on its way
from Halifax to Liverpool, on the ground of its
carrying despatches from Mr. SEWARD to Mr.
ADAMS,"

With another remark of Nr. SMVARD'St Lord
RUSSELL deals as it deserves. All our readers
