Ny Iopp-I have the honor ackncwledsn the recep.

Earl Russell dated tho ID inst, In reply which
addressed 10 him on the 18th OF september last on GER
important questions under consideration be.

II is with the most profound regret that am thur
compelled 10 open my relations with your iortshp Ia
spr, Of controversy can only urge in ext nnaton of
this proceeding the great Importance of the subjects
ger consideration, not simply as between two countries
an tne oivhkaa nations ON the globe. Futhermor~
latter myself that from the contraction necessarily
ing on 9l 'ne topics under treatment we may before
long arrive at some sort OF termination OF discussion
already my part, fear rather tedoly protrscted
HIS lordshps note appears TO he Aoensn,sy confined
To the consideration OF two classes " facts bath them
bearing upon the establishment general prinoipa
OF the law OF natonso wit the obs aiion a neutral
country TO bellsercnts TO do every ihlng within its

ordshp appears 20 maintain 20 b. fully acquitted by the
adoption of such the neutral itself may
Judge sufficient, without regard 40 any

into argument on the abstract question, he con

taken by Great Britain and complained of by the
United states In the progress of the lace The chief
OF the relied upon by his or,ship NJ that in
gard 10 certain claims for indemnity FOE injuries done to
in the United States. .t-
In order to define the nature OF tho question thus
raised would seem TO be proper rst 70 note how far
made more clearly to appear wherein We are 80 unor
tunatc as 10 diner.
But oonsenting tho language and the action q,

freely as bis lordhlp does precedent 10 Justify The
latter OF her Maesty's government now dtasn
into question, II is obvious that mus, gwen

On my side, have already, in preceding note ef.

1t nece.arlly iollows that this point We az. fully
agreed Where there is no difference u 10 obviously

Here would beg permit To observe t,si all the
previous examination of this topic have carefully
abstaned from the task of affirming that neutral Power
absolutely Responsible for the Injurious
OF any and every violation OF neutrality that may orR
nate within s territorial limits vithont regard w the
circumstance attending each cbse. The proposition
which have affirmed, and .til do continue Ia insist
upon ~ that neutral ~ responsible for all injuries
which may 10 ensue 10 friendly nation whcn II falls 10
exercise all thc IN s power for prevention aud
constitutes isch the sole Judge OF the sx1nt which
VIII refuse stronger wi.hin iis reach,
when the old ones proved by the injured party %

With the light shod by this explanation I now propose
very briefly set forth thoss points IN tue respective
acon Of the United states towards Pousd and Of Crest
Britain towards the United states wherein they appear

impossible to bring them within reasonable parallel
