The GIVE war IN America has given rise TO appre-
tensions that French trade may suffer ineonyen>
fence and loss from one or other of the beligerents
and endeayors made to obtain the limitation Of
the evils within as narrow limits az possible. The
continued threatening aspect Of Affairs IN America,
and the apprehension that the Northern States may
seek 70 patch up truce with the South BY war
with Span on the pretext of her annexation q st.
Domingo, exercise depressing influence upon the
trades OF Lsrls and lyons, whose principal markets
are precisely an those countries now menaced with
war. --4. --si

by all the maritime Powers go that there should be
on the outbreak of war no doubt what does or does
not constitute contraband These efforts have been
successful and il is evident that they relate to cues
tons the settlement of which can only be effected by
a geneI al consent Yet iurists have attempted and
nat without success. to effect a classification of
those articles of commerce which are generally
held 10 be centraband of war These have been
defined TO be- 81 -f
l. Those whose use is solely applicable to pur-
poses of peace.
2sThose which are of direct use in war,

These, it will be observed, which are nothing
ore than general classications or divisions leave
undetermined the large and constantly recurring
questions of what articles should be included in
or other of the divisions. The fact is that has
been long since laid down by Lord Stowell anyt ing
n the shape of merchandise may be regarded as
or han Of ia nded the
aid or comfort of an enemy. Until of late years,
pals were never heard of as included amongst ar
tcles contrabaDd of war. Goals, however, were
regarded by the Russian government in 1854, and
by the Austrian government IN 1859. In fact, the
iw of nations recognizes the right of either belig
erent to declare any article contraband Of war pro-
vided due notification be given to that effect On
us subject of contraband of war the European
Powers have from time to time come to arrange
ments amongst themselves Such an arrangement
WAS included in the treaties of Ryswick Nimeguen
and Utrecht: and at considerably earler period an
understanding was arrived at on the subject of cor.
.abaud of war between France and England There
Il nothing to preyent such an understanding beng
entered into between the European Powers or any
of them. and the beligercuts on the other side OF
