Undei date of October 18 , Secretary Bayard , attei detailing to Minister West the clicnni- stances of the seizure ot the Kveiett Steele , says : "If , as I cannot permit myself to believe , ( Ireat Biltnln should refuse to cltl- /uns ot the United States the enjoyment of the plainest and most undeniable lights , tlm conseepienccs would bo so seilons that they cannotobu contemplated bj this gov eminent but with great concern.

In com menting upon this case , the secretary sajs : "It seems hardly necessary to say that It is not until alter the condemnation by a priro court that the national H.IK of a vessel sei/ed as a prl/o of vvai Is hauled down by her ciptor. " Under date of Juno 0 , Minister T'hclps ad- diessed a communication to Earl Uosebenj protesting in thu name of the United btatos government about the seizures raadu by the Canadians as wholly unwarranted by tlie treaty of 1818 , requestine the release of the vessels , and Infoinitng him that the United States would hold horinajestj's government responsible lor all losses sustained by Amer ican clti/ens growing out of Hie sei/urcs. Tlio correspondi'iieo closes with a letter from Minister I'hclps to Karl lloseberrv in which he combats the position taken by the earl that her majesty's government cannot take action in the matter of the sei/nres he- cause the Canadian courts are considering all the cases In dispute. I'hclps maintains that thu United States must look to the home government for rediessand satisfaction , and foi such Instructions to the colonial authori ties as will prevent future sel/uiea. He sug gests as a means of preventing further col lisions between American haheimc.ii and Canadian ofllclals that an ad Interim con struction of the terms of Hie existing treaty bo reached by mutual consent , to be can led out infoi many until a more permanent tin- deistandliig Le ic.iched. - . _ . . .
