ernnlent at the port Of New York aS to yes
sells trading to the Bahamas. The cores
pondence originated in May last year, when
complaints were made By merchants aud
others in Nassau that the Castouf House at
New York required shippers there for the
Bahamas to give bonds that none Of The goods
would be delivered at Confederate ports, and
this they complained of asau undue fcsffic,
ton upon trade. IT appeared that tho re,
stnetiens were directed by an act Vi Con-
yrcssSof 1861
Earl Russell accordingly directed reiaon-
strances TO be made az ainst such restrictions,
as violating the treaty Of 1915 between this
country and til United states, giving Eas
lish ships freedom 10 trade IN American
ports, and in August aud September last
Lord Lyons demonstrated with Mr.. Seward
Mr. Se5sard replied by maintaining that the
restrictions complained of were internal
acts of administration, applying equally ID
American and English ah ps; aud he pointed
to the vast increase of the commerce OF Mass
sau since the outbreak OF the war rs q proof
that the restrictions did not interfere with
the slegitiinates xra,le to that port
Earl Russell replied that this ss.ts iii, sstl.
swer To his complaint, and il WIS perfectly
lawful for British ships at Nassau 10 transhi.,
their cargoes for American pniis. In his
dispatch, dated December II, he, however.
expressed the hope that, Notwithstanding
Mr. Stewards defence, the re.uonstrauce
wonld have the practical effect of preventing
the continuance or repetition Of similar pro
ecedin@s. Mr.. Seward rejoinea, ON January
y, but at the close OF his arguments he gaye
the assurance that tie laws OF The UHtct
Stdtcs would continue to be executed in such
way as to afford no last grou.d for com
plaint of rartiality or Injustice.
Earl Russell, however, having discontinued
the correspondence, hoping that his r.laur,
strance would have practical effect, wrGte H.
s4ord Lyons on the 18th July, noticing the
representation of Mcssrs Tootal, BroasiLurst
Y Co. that such boud had been required OF
them when making Il shipment to Nassau On
the 18th OF June last. His Lordship con.
sidcfs this as proof that tho interference Of
