Halifax Prize Cases. Sch'oncr* Fanner, from Philadelphia, for Havannah, was lately ier.t into Halifax. The veflel was owned by an American, the by a Frenchman, who resided at Phi ladelphia. The attorney-general ui,«red the condemnation of tf e becaufe a French man could not alienate his country ; and 'plead fcr the condemnation of the veflel be cause the captain was an Er-fflifhman, apd although iiiitur ilized, married, and long a refidetu in Philadelphia ; still he could not divert himfclf of liis allegiance, nor claim for » citizen of America. The JucUe said, that the "cargo belonged to a Frenchman (altho' living in tM United States) and going di reclly to an rne—y's port, ouift be condemn ed. As to the veflel, said the Judge, (lie i( confefledly neutral, and therefore, is the claimant, must be restored ; and the captors must pay the owners full freight.

Acting that tie with his bro'.her, who "was his mate, were bwners of the bng, that they had chartered said vefltl to a Mr. H?£loi Scott of New- York ; that they were to take a cargo and carry to Curracoa. and return with another, and that t! ey had nearly completed the cen tral when taken, (being just off the Hook.) It appeared that Heftor Scott w*s a natural born fubjeft of Great Britain ; but it did not appear how hng he had resided in the United States. The right of citizenlhip ■was in this refpeft as in the last cafe, argu ed with great warmth by Mr. Uaiack, at temey general, and Mr. Stewart, attorniy for the claimants the attorney-general held up the ides that He£tor Scott was a Britifli fwl-jeft and could' not, by any a£l of his, throw off his natural allegiance; that he ■w is in a neutral country, under cover, sup plying the enemies of his country, and th;t he ought to be treated as a " ihaitoe," iiid his property confifcated. Mr. Stewart argued that Mr. Scott was an Amsrican, and as such had come into this court (by his attorney) and that neither Mr. UHiack, nor the Judge of this court of vice admiralty of Nova-Si otia had any concern in the right of establishing the mode of citiienfhip ; that it was a national mutter, concerning national cbara&ers, and that it nuift be d.cided by the two nations. The Judge tlio't pmpsr to give 30 days re lpite for farther proof, as it respected the claim of Mr. Srott hat said as to the veM'el, there appeared to him fufficient evidence -that the property was a&ually the claimant"!, who were natural born citiiens of the United States, and therefore decreed the captors do restore the velTel, and pay the captain the full of his freight, or chartei ; but the cargo is to re main till the expiration of 30 clays for judg ment thereon."
