restrictions imposed on the trade III Brush vessels
from the ports Of tie United S'stes to the bahamas
have now to state 10 you that The gravity of the
circumstances in thls If, In the opinion Of her
Msleatye Government, Iather increased than dilain-
nhed by tho grounds On which the proceedings Of
the New-York Custom-uouse are explained end
sought to be justified in the letter from Dir. Collector
Barney TO Mr. Chase, Of which copy ia incOsed IN
Mr. Stewards note, end which proceedings are. as ID
appears, approved and sanctioned BY the Govern
ment Of the United States.
Il ia admitted in this letter tina, the prohibitions
aud restrictions in question are directed exclusively
against the commerce OF one particular British pos
'esson, namely Nassau. l. is therefore clear thai
unless they can be justified by the law Of nations,
they violate tie terms OF the sabsktiug CONNIE clsl
treaties between the United STATES and this country
and furnish ground FOR international complsint.
The position assumed by tho United States Coy
eminent is this: that it Is entitled to pco'i IT. OF
place under restrictions equivalent to Prohibition,
the expectation from New York Nassau OF ar,iciet
which are neither il .her nature contraband II
war nor made contrabaat for the purpose OF tha
pres sut hosttiss, by any general and public decla.
prevent British subjects resident at Nassau make
ing that colony depot for purposes OF commerce,
from trading in those articles with tie so-styled
Confederate States. The inference that the articles,
though having really and bona tde British destins<
ton are likely 20 be aterward used for the purposes
Of the trade between Nassau and the so.styled Con-
federate States is drawn, explained by Collector
Barney, from tic magnitude OF the conslgnnents,
from comparison between the amount OF the trade
IN similar articles carried on between New FORK and
ffsfrfr
present war, from the notorious existence Of ex.
tensiYe trade during the between the so-styled
Confederate States and Nassau, and from the known
or repu.ed correction Of c9rain merchants or mer.
camille houses in England aud ct Nassau with that
trade The possibility or probability being thus az.
rived az that such II use may be made Of some OF
these articles after their arrival at Nassau, i. is
Guided that the United States Government arc en-
titled to stop them AZ Nswl York. From this ccnelg-
sion her Msjesty's Government dissent.
The trade between Nassau and the so-styled Coa-
federate States is subject TO thoss limitations which
tie law OF nations bas established legitimate as
the trade between Gregt Britain and Gny otler par.
OF the world. Even u the Government OF the United
stRtes were in ccalsi "a to ask other nations 20
