"The point! of public lfw involved in

follows :
1. The right of visiting and searching
merchant ships on the high so:u. whatever
bo tha ships, their cargoes, or their desti
nations, -i an incunteniihlt! right of the

ill 'Tar on bojrd of ireutal vjssels, it is,
from its very nature and definition, in
competent to a idato of peace, but accrues

2. To engage in the transportation of
military persons, bearers of dispatches,
ami dispatches themselves, is of tlio sams
nature with the currying of contraband
goods, and a vessel so engaged in flic ser
vice of one belligerent is subject to cap
ture and confiscation by the other.
3. A belligerent may lawfully arrest an
ambassador of the adverse bellieerent, if
155 to show that tho four points above
set forth aio correct. It also appends the
exposition of Dr. Hobort Fhillimore, in
his late great work entitled Commentaries
on Jntemation Law. He is ''Advocate of

Judge of the Cinque Torts," and univer
sally approved, lie says;

l'ngo ",()'.). "As to carrying of military
persons in the employ of a belligerent, or
be:ng in any way engaged In his transport
service, it has been most solemnly decided
by the tribunals of international law, both
in England and the United Stales of North
America, that these are acts of hostility
on tho jiart of the neutal, which sutyecls
the vehicle in which the persons are con
veyed to confiscation at tho hands of the
belligerent."
I'nge S70. "OfTieinl ommunicotion
from an official on the affairs of a tellijer
ent government are such dispatches as
presout a hostile character on tho carriers
of them. The mischievous consequences
ol suoh a servico cannot l estimated, and
extend far beyond the e flirt of any con
traband that can bo conveyed j for it is
manifest that by the carriaire of audi Jis-
patehpn the mst important operations of
ueiiigerein army may lie forwarded or
obstructed. In general cases of contra
band tho quantity of (ho article, curried
may be a nmteiiul circutn-tunoe, but the
smallest dispatch may serve to turn the
(rtunes of war in favor of a piriieuhr
belligerent."
"The penalty is confiscation o the ship
which convey the dispatches nd ol Ihe
cargo." ,
Mm Intelligencer then remarks :
"As the loregoing principle are derived
wholly from the adjudications of the Brit
ish Admiralty Courts, ami aaCapt. Wjlkes
has exercised something less than (be
scope of rjowr vindicated for a bd'igerent
fry theso rulings, it would seem idle to
suppose that his action can alTbrd any
ground for reclamation by tho British
government, which will be more likely to
express its grateful appreciation of the
forbearance displayed by that officer in
not capturing tho vessel found engaged in
"favoring the offensive projects ol the en
emy." If the British Ingisis recognize the
right of one belligerent nation to capture
on the high seas t tie ambassador of anoth
er belligerent nation, a fortiori must they
acknowledge the right of a sovereign bel
ligerent government to seize, under aimi"
lar eircuuistniices, tho envoys of a faction
to which, in the present c.tse, they hnve
conceded (be rights, and therefore the
responsibilities, of a belligerent.
' It may be proper to add that it makes
no difference in the law of the case wheth
er the master of a ve-el be ignorant or
not !' the character of the service in a hit h
he is engaged. In tho present case, how
ever, the master of the Trent must have
been well aware of the character borne by
Messrs. Msson and .Slidell, and therefore
knew that in doing a service to the Con-
j federate belligerents by fnr.vurding their
envoys to hurope, h was doing nn injury
to the government of the United States."
The Boston Traveler (rep.) take a dif
ferent view, It iys :
"It is not probable that our government
would allow a British war vessel to take
an Irish rebel out of an American vessel
in which he had taken passage from New
York toSan Francisco. Without time to
lookup any precedents, we are inclined
to hr-licve that, according to the laws of
nations, the prisoners must bo given up,
and the art of the commander of the San
Jacinto disavowed. But may not the case
of the Curoline b" applicable tothi case?
The English then actually invaded our
territory, and cutout an American steam'
bout, causing her destruction a:.d the
deaths uf some parsons, because she had
been engaged in aiding the rebels in Can
ada ; and the British steamship that was
taking Slidell and Mason to Europe, was
engaged in helping the Southern rebels.
iV here is the ditlereueo ? The act was a
bold one on tle part of the coinmauderof
the San Jacinto, and wo cannot help ad.
miring his pluck, while regretting thai he
had not more prudence.'
Speaking of the inciuenls that transpir
ed, iv lit n the arrest were made, the
Washington correspondent of tho i'hilu
delplna i'ress writes :
"When about forty miles off Malanzas,
tho old Bahama channel, the Trent hove
insight, and the two vessels were soon
within hailing distance. Commodore
Wilkes sunt a shot across the bows of l ho
Trent. To this no attention was paid,
whsn another was directed near tho bow.
This brought tho steamer to. Lieutenant
Fairfax, to whom both of tho Confederate
passengers was personally known, was
sent on beard in a boat, supported with
two more boats, filled with marines. Lieut.
Fairfax went on dock and called for Mes
s:s. Mason and Slidell, who soon nppear
etl. Lieut. Fairfax politely informed tiieni
of the objects of his mission, and aske l
them to go on board his boat. To this
they objected, Mason remarking that they
had piid their passage to Europe, to the
British Consul at lUvana, (who nets as
agent for the mail steamship lino,) ami
he would not leavo without force. Lieut.
Fairfax, pointing to his marines drawn up
on the decks of the British steamer, said :
"You see, sir, I have the force, if that is
what yon require!" "Then you mustu-e
it," replied Mason. With this Lieuten
ant Fairfax placed bis baud upon the Sen
ator's shoulder and pressed him to the
gangway. At this juncture the passengers
rushed forward, soaiewhut excited, and
attempted to inlet fere. The marines im
mediately showed thuir bayonets, and
Mason consented to the decision of Lieut.
Fairfax, usking that he might le permit
ted to make his protest In writing. Just
then a tine specimen of an Dnglishnian
rushed on deck in military or naval uni
form (the oflioer in command of the mails,
probably,) and demanded why passengers
on board that ship were molested. Lieut.
Fairfax informed him that he had stated
to f'opt. Moir, of the packet, why he ar
lestetl two of his passengers, and further
than that ho had no explanations to make.
Protests were then drawn up. and Mason
and Slidell, with their Secretaries, Eustis
and McFarland, went into the boats of
the San Jacinto."
Mimtart Punishment. The military
regulation of the United Stutcs laws pro
scribe the following punishmtnl for mili
lary ollences, all of which are applicable
to volunteers who have been sworn into
tho I'nittd Stales service:
MmIuiij, "Any oflioer or soldier who

THE UNION.
Most of our readers have doubtless read
that a Heeling passage in the bod; of Kuth
head, if might but death fhould part
them. 'And it is thus every true patriot
now feels towards the Union. And why
should not every Amcricun eili' ii.ivlietli-
or h" bo n native bum or naturalized, love
it,' It has been our bulwark in war, and
in peace it has made us the freest and
most pro.-perous mil ion on the face of
God's eartli. It has been a benevolent
.md kind parent to all, and has spread tho
panoply uf protcdhri over tin) lowest as
-veil as the higWest citi.en. It is the leg
acy of Washington, Jclfeison, Madison,
and the other revolutionary patriots, and
statesmen who h.ive gone to their reward,
and we should cherish itnsajovel beyond
all price. Lit us therefore, with ono
heart and one soul, guard, protect and do
feuit. With it wo aro citizens of a great
mid free Republic without it wo would
bo outcasts upon the earth, and a by-word
and reproao'i to all nations. It is con
trolled ot the present time, it is true, by
men who bavo labored diligently to create
thai sectional warfare, which bus des
troyed it. and by men who are not equal
to the task confided to them ; but this is
no reason why we should abandon it. It
is freighted with all that ia dear to us as
men, find as American citizens we should
prize it above all earthly good. Tho
nomocracy have uhvuys becu true lo tho
Union, and in this trying hour, when the
earth literally rocks beneath our fcet, wo
are confident they will .still be found cur
rying tho glorious flag of our common
country, and keeping step to the musio
of the Union. Tho Union as our fathers
made it, must Be preserved. JyiiOr.
