AREEST OF MESSES. MASON AND
SilEELL.
Views and Speculations of the Press.
From the Baltimore Sun.
The arrest of tho two Confederate Com
missioners to Europe MesMS. Mason and
Slidcll by Captain Wilkes, of the United
Stateii friguto San Jacinto, elicits u variety
of opinions t.nd dissertations upon inter
national lair. As it is a buljdct of consid
erable national importance, uud not gen
erally understooil by he great mass of the
people, we subjoin eotne further extracts
of the views expressed by several of our
exchanges. The National lnelliyeHcer com
mentSHt some length. After narrating
the circumstances under which the arrebt
'as u-.ade, it pioceeds as follows:
"Such being the faots in the case, wheth
er Capt. Wflllos acted with or without the
orders of the national government, it re
mains to inrtuire into thu grouude by which
this iroceoding is justified In the light of
iiitei natiotiulTinv ; for, however expedient
may aaem the success gained bv the arrest
and detection of these Confederate tep
reentatiea, whether regarded in point o!'
political of military etratecv. it would be
dearly purchased ii Iho cobt of a single
principle 'of that public morality whoso
rules govern, or should covern, the con
duct of Civilized and C'luiaUaii Stales in
iheir mutual intercourse iu peace and in
war.
'"Those, therefore, who are not already
familiar with tho principles involved iu
the proceeding!! ol dipt. Wilkes, w ill leain
with interest that if is fully justified by
the rules of international law, as those
rules have been expounded by thumo.it
illustrious KritUh jurists and compiled by
the most approved writers on tho Laws of
Nations. iSo fur from having transcended
the poweia with which he was clothed by
that code, Capt. Wilkes did not exhaust
the full measure of his authority, for ho
not only had nn undoubted right toa.'i est
alicse "ambassadors' cf the Confedeiate
goveruii'eut on their passage to Europe,
but might have justly captured the vcsm-I
on which they were found, and brought
her iritn port to be concUinued as a lawll 1
prize.
"The points of public law involved in
the case, nud ou which it turns, arc as
folio n :
1. The rijjht of visitini' and seurchinjt
merchant ships on the high sein. w hatever
be the ships, their cargoes, or their desti
nations, is un inconteslible right of the
lawfully comiiHsjioned cttiU-ers of a beiig
erent nation. 15-ing a purely beligerent
l ight, essential to the capluie of enemy's
property and the discovery of oontruhand
of 'var on board of i:eutal vessels, it is,
from its very nature and definition, in
competent to a Mute of peace, but accrues
to each belligerent on the outbreak ol war.
2. To engage in the Irnn-poriation of
mihiaty persons, bearers of dispatches,
and dispatches themselves, is of the am3
nature with the carrying of contraband
goods, nud a vessel so engaged in the ser
vice of one belligerent is subject to cap
ture and confiscation by the other.
3. A belligerent may lurfully arrest an
a ubassador of the adverse bellirereiit. if
! found at sea in a neutral vessel on bis pas
sage, and therefore in-lore lie ihia nrrivcu
in the neutral country, or has assumed the
functions of his ollico near lh government
to which he w accredited. Hut, when ha
I has arrived and beet, admitted in hisofli
'cial relatiuii, he is protected by bis repte
sentutive and inlernationHl character.
J 4. The fact that the voyage is made to
a neu'.ral port does not change the legal
! character of the trausnclion, w;here con
traband of war- including of course milit
ary persons, dispatches, - tihd their bear
ers is found on a neutral ves-el.
"Theso principles are Ix-lieved to cover
' complete y the case presented by the cap
Iture of Messrs. Mason and Slidell."
I The Intelligencer then proceeds toquote
at tome length from Wheaton's "Elemc
mentsof International Law" edition of
15j to show that the four points above
set forth are correct. It alsoappf mis the
exposition of Dr. Robert l'hillimore. in
his lalecrent work entitled Commentaries
on Internation Law. He is "Advocate of
her Majesty in her office of Admiralty as
Judge of the Cinque Torts," uud univer
sally approved, lie says.-
l'age oM)8. (Vonlniband.) "It is, indeed,
competent to a belligerent tostop thenm
bussfldor of his enemy on his passage."
l'ugo oG'J. "As to currying of military
persons in the employ of n belligerent, or
bo:ng in any way engaged iu histrenspori
service, it bus been most solemnly decided
by the tiibtinals of international law, both
in Kuglund arid tho United Stales of North
America, that these are acts of hostilily
on the part of the neutul, which suljects
Iho vehicle iu which tho persons are con
veyed to confiscation at tho hands of the
belligerent."
I'nge o70. " Olliciul eommunication
from an official on the affairs of a belliger
ent government are such dispatches as
preseut a hostile c.haruotcr on th? carriers
of them.' Tho mischievous con sequences
of such a service cannot be estimated, und
extend far beyond the effect of any con
traband that can ho conveyed ; for it is
Dianilest that by the carriage of ueh dis
patches tho mst important operatifm of
belligerent army may be forwarded or
obstructed. In general cases of contra
bnnd the quantity of the article carried
may be a niateriul circumstance, but the
smallest dispatch may serve to turn the
fertunes of wnr in favor of a particular
belligerent."
"Tire penalty is confif :on o the ship
which conveys tho duipatcb.es and of the
carRO." ,
J'he Intdligencef then remarks t
"As the foregoing principles are derived
wholly from the adjudioations of the IM it
ish Admiralty Courts, and asC'upt. Wilkm,
has exercised something less than the
cone of power vindicatved for a belligerent
y 'these ruliDgs, it would seem idle to

suppose that his uction can afford any
ground for reclamation by. tho liiitish
government, which will be more likely to
express its grateful appreciation of the
forbearance displayed by that oflicer in
not capturing tho vessel found ennaged in
"favoring tho offensive projects ot the en
emy." If tho lliitish legists recognize the
ritjht of ono belligerent nation to capture
on liie high seas the ambassador of anoth
er belligerent nation, a fortiori must they
acknowledge the right of a sovereign bel
ligerent government to seize, under simi
lar circumstances; tlio envoys of a faction
to which, in the present case, they have
conceded the rights, and therefore tho
responsibilities, of a belligerent.
"It may be proper to add that it makes J
no tiillerence in the law of the case wheth
er the master of a veel be ignorant or
not ef the character of the service in n hie h
he is engaged. In the present case, how-
eor, the master of the Trent must have
been well I aware of the character borne by
Messrs. Mason and Slidell, uud therefore
knew that in doing a service to the Con-
iederftto belligerents bv for-vardinu their

GENERAL JIM LANE.
One of the n-opt disgraceful and impolit
ic acts of the President was the appoint
ment o' the notorious Jim Lane, of Kan
sas, a Urigadiur General, and sending him
to renew his career ol murder, rapine and
robbery in Missouri. If it was tho pur-
pose ofthe President lo drive tho whole
people of Missouri into rebellion, then
I the employment of Lano end Montgom

the object in view, but it can be justilied
ou no other ground. Tha St. Louis Jo;

not fit to bu trusted, with responsible mil

deciiicy and feeling due, not only lo the
: interests tind welfaie cf Missouri, but to
' 1 1 1 o rights of humanity and the good
name of our countrymen, demands, that,
if be is suffered still to hold that com-
mand, ho should be compelled to exvrs
ciso it outside of Missouri. Anybody,
who, rending what ho writes, and seeing

ports of what he says, cannot half perceive
tliat ho has before him the evidences of a

I would wish to have continued to him the
power of hounding on his followers to
new deeds of devastation, waste and ruin.
Such men and presses have but liltlo re
gard for tho iiiteresls of this tate or of
humanity; but seem animated only by
an insane thirst fcr destruction.. Their
spirit is that of a Comanche ; and if prop
agated widely among our people, would
i make ihcm until to enjoy any institutions
lot their republicanism or civilized society.
' They are foes of loth.",

fieeilom-shriekcrs in the border lulliuu

to incite ho-tilities between the North
' and South. Hois now as great u terror
to loyal men iu the West, as he is to the
rebels. Indeed, tlovcrnor Robinson of
Kansts (a member of the late Republican
party) says in a public letter ; " know of

Thus we see what a similaiiiy there i
between n secessionist and an ultra aboii

'they can, with a high hnnd.
