by different and equally effective means, and a

The American governnxnt have been so mpch in the
habit Of late Of playing fast and loose with desposm
and Observation-Disclosures they may almost be excused
for supposing that yainisiry responsible Parliament
and tho country would have hesitation in following
their example We rsay however, assure Mr Seward
and hts colleagues that, although they may affect TO
despise the decisions which the municipal arbanals or
Great Britain have the presumption pronounce,
English government is oound TO respect them.

From the London Spcciator]
Mr. Seward instracis Mr. that the United
must haye the cotton that reached England ia the Pro
cau, and which Vice Chancellor stuart adu,cd 10 be-
long the United States government but principles
which would also make the United States responsible for
the Confederate debt We have little Doubt that those
principles very unsonnd but this declaration of Eng
lish law has irrtated Mr.. Seward somewhat naturally.
and he declares the United states government will not
be responsible for the Confederate debt Out
Vice Chanc Ior Stuart perhaps, ever dreamed they
would be He adds that the United States never re-
gaxed the Confederate government dc tac,0 gov
This absurd II they had '.bcllgercnt
rights against aeurals at ALL Any Power that can SO
carry to give its opponent belgcrcnt rghts'
must be a d. fdfo government. Mr.. Seylrd insists on
pronting by both the alternatives Of the dilemma which
call logical ipacty. Either he had International
enemy in which case merchants have right
pcation for all they lost by the blockade or he had
international enemy and that enemy de faco govern
ment.
Mr. Stewards letter 10 Mr. Adams will probably set at
rest DOUBTS which the most sargunc OF bOndhoders
may have entertained 70 the probability Of
sumption OF the Confederate debt by The United States
government When that government has recognized the
Services Of general Rober E. Lee given him place
beside General Grant when II has redeemed the paper
money Issued At Richmond, rased il % par; when II
OF Mr. Jefferson Davis and his colleagues, then IL may
think Of che usfornnes Of the bondholdcrs. Estah-
lished governmcnts however. would not thank II for
setting premium nsurreetion by Introducing prin-
cple which would always insure supply OF ready
money 70 insurgents by making their creditors safe In
any contingency.
Mr. seward intimates, IN his despatch of August 10,
that the government OF the United States reImdatcs the
proposition contained in Vice Chancellor Woods inter-
locntory decree in It's suit against Polca and Others
that she United states the succesors Of the rebel
lion. Mr. Seward declares that the United States claim
sfhroueh the action Of the British government the
restoration Of the cotton which the object or s
against Prioleau and others, and which had been
signed account OF the deiunct Confedcracy. This
being the case, IL seems pity that the United states
should have sought the aid OF Court Of Chancery
the subject II Is of conrsc, competent any aggricvcd
persons 10 decline the jurisdiction Of British court bat
II is neither friendly nor respectful for any TO resort
TO one OF courts and then wien disappointed With
the result, TO complain OF the presumption OF the
Judge aud confess that he intended TO abide by
impartial decision. Vice Chancellor Woods judi ment
may be and probably is liable correction; hut in
dcrng he has not beyond the limits OF his occ,
as Mr.. Stewards words imply
From the London Solicitors Journal
