BRITISH NEUTRALITY,
CHARLES SUMNER ON THE FLORIDA CASE.
HTABTIIKRPRECBDKKTB FBOM BBIIISH HISTOBY.
In the Boston Advertiser, of the 29th, appeared a
review of the Florida ease, as Illustrated by British
precedents—generally believed to be the work of
Senator Sumner. , Nearly twenty eases are In
stanced in which England, violently outraged neu
trality. Mr. Sumner takes the ground , that neu
trality was oertalnly violated in the Florida affair,-
and quotes Bynkershook, Rent, and Halleek, to
show that “It Is by no means lawful to attack or
take an enemy In the port of a neutral, who Is in
amity with both parties.” But he does not consider
restitution necessary, or justifiable by any former ,
good character of the pirate Florida, or deprivation!
suffered by Brazil, which Is mainly the same, posi
tion as has been assumed by this journal. The fol
lowing extracts will Interest, the'great mass of
readers: -
CASES IN WHICH CHEAT,. BRITAIN HAS VIOLATED
, NEUTRALITY.
Tkreo cases of bold outrage, which, took place
between Elizabeth’s reign and the eighteenth cen
tury, precede what follows, Mr. Sumner himself
omitting a considerable period not without ex
amplest
(4.)- War had hardly begun when, in 1T93, the port
of Genoa was the scene of an Incident differing
from that In Bahia only in Us very aggravating cir
cumstances, and in the bloodshed,which ensued.
The Frenoh frigate La Modesto was quietly at an
chor in this neutral harbor when a British ship-of
the-line came alongside. Suddenly the -British
commander summoned the Frenohman to surrender.
On his refusal, the lhlgate was boarded and three
hundred of the unarmed crew wetomassaered. The
frigate was banded to England. Su|h is the acoount
given by a Frenoh author, who complains bitterly
that the British Government did nothing to punish
the outrage. The Genoese Government was power
less, and the French Convention, In a decree, marked
bygijeat moderation, proceeded to release It from all
responsibility; although at a later day .lt appears to
have paid two.mllllonis of francs as an Indemnity.
(De Oussy, Phases et Causes Celebris du Droit des
Glen, tom. 2 ,p. 70.) The reader who is curious in
dates will not fell to observe that It was dn'ttejpry
year when the neutrality of Genoa, was giusjeti at.
defiance that the Brltlshl njlnlßter Jn.the .United
States clalmod the surrender, of a ship seized by a
1 French frigate, in defiance of our neutrality., • Such,
are the Inconsistencies of human conduct. A Brßish
ship Captured by France in neutral waters was sur

(11. ) The next instance was again on this side of
the Atlantic, and In. the neutral waters of our own
coast. The French ship-of-the-line, L’ Imperious,
separated in a storm from the fleet to which she be
longed, and, much- disabled, was discovered,.Sep
tember, 1806, by several British men-of-war off Gape
Henry. The'Frenbh ship timed her head to the
land and wgsaotually aground before tho British
ships eancon shot. But, though in
this dlsahledfeoondltion, and on the very shores of
the Uniteel States, she received a British broadside.
The Frenon' oblnmande# . protested vainly that he
was on neutral territory. His crew were taken
prisoners, andhls ship wasbnrnt. This act was a
violation of the law” of naUctte,* doubly noticeable,
as the Immunity of our coast “ within cannonsbot”
had been expressly recognized in the treaty of .1704
between Great Britain and the United 'States,
As the ship w'as'burhed, there..could be no question of
its restitution." Biit' it. does ,not appear that there '
was any reparation of any kind—not even an apo
logy .—(Be C«ssy, Phases el Causes Celebres, tom. 2,

(12.) The outrage upon, the .frigalte. Chesapeake (
properlyibelongs to tbi|Mt'of4ilus£rative Instancies,
for It was a barefaced ana most Insulting violation
.of territorial jurisdiction. TMswas in June, 1807,
while the United States were at peace with all the
world. The Chesapeake having'proceeded to sea,
1 was followed by the British frigate Leopard, lying
at Hampton RoaiJs, which, after ranglng alongside
of her, commenced a heavy fire, until the command
er of the Chesapeake felt it his duty to strike his
colors, and to inform the British commander that
the Chesapeake was Mb prize. It is needless to -•
mention the details of this unparalleled enorMlty.
or the mingled anger and humiliation wMoh ensued'
in-the country, as they became known. A demand
for reparation was made at onoe ; but it was only
after four years of negotiation that the terms of ad*
justment were mutually accepted. There was no.
ship to restore s hut the men who had been forcibly
taken from the Chesapeake were, “as for as circum
stances would admit,’’ returned to that frigate, then
lying in the harbor of Boston.— (American State Pa
pers,ForeigrißeUUions,vol.3,gyp. 499, 600.)
(13.) At the same time that these outrages were
perpetrated on our coast, another on a larger scale
was planned and executed in the Baltic. Denmark
was at the time “scrupulously neutral;” but the
British Government feared that its fleet, lying at
Copenhagen, might in some way be appropriated by
Napoleon, whose continental supremacy had recent
ly culminated at the peace of Tilsit. It was deter
mined to seize this fleet, and a naval expedition of
corresponding force was directed against Copen
hagen. The Danes made a brave resistance; bat at'
last, on 7th September, 1807, they were oompelled to
capitulate. The Danish fleet was surrendered to the
British Admiral, ‘ ( Thiers, Bisloire du Comulat et de
VEmpire. Tom. 8. Liv. 28.)
(14.) Then came the remarkable Instance of the
American frigate Essex, under Commodore Porter,
captured by a superior British force 1 In the neutra 1
waters of Valparaiso. The Essex had made a very
successful cruise, and become a terror to British na
vigation. It was important to stop her victories.
The newspapers of tho time assert that a British Ad
miralty order was ißsued “ commanding the officers
Of British sMps in the South Seas not to respect any
port as neutral where the Essex should he found."
(Niles! Register, vol. 6, p. 347.) It is Certain that the
British commander acted in the spirit of this order.
With two frigates, the. Phcebe and the Cherub, In
April,lBl4, he opened Are upon the Esßex, then'atan
chor, according to her log-book, “ in nine and a half
fathoms water, and within half-pistol-shot of the
shore.” Commodore Porter, after a desperate battle
1 ' of more than two hours and a half, was compelled
to surrender. The country was filled with admira
tion of his gallantry and of indignation at what was
called “ the glaring defianoe of the clearest princi
ple of national law.” It was.'feald that, though the '
country had lost a ship, it had loat./not'hlng else,
gut here the matter ended. The ship was never re*
stored ; nor does It appear to havebeen the subject
of reclamation, either by our Government upon
Spain, or by Spain upon Groat Britain. The Pre
sident's message, at the opening of the-next Con
gress, while commending the gallantry of Commo
dore Porter, does not even allude to the"violation of
international law In his capture. But It will be re-
parked; that fit this time the South American colo
nies were beginning io be convu'ised by Ihat Jdfig **•'
volutionary war wMch ended in their independence,
so that there was a practical difficulty in obtaining"
any remedy for this outrage. Vfe could not apply
directly to England, and neither Spain nor Chili:
was in a condition to apply. Silence on our
part was the best policy. -But the account can-"
not be forgotten among the precedents of British
history.
(15.) Then came the instance of the General Arm
strong, an American privateer,- destroyed by a.Brf-
Ush squadron, In the neutral waters of Fayal, In
September, 1814. There is a dispute as to certain
faots in this case. On the British side it is said that
the privateer fired first and killed several men. But
it is clear that the privateer was pursued and at
tacked under the very guns of the -Portuguese fort-
ress, and, after being abandoned by her crew, was
burned by the British. As war at that time ex
isted between Great Britain and the "United States,
our Government was compelled to resort for repa
ration to Portugal, whose neutral territory had
been violated. After a .protracted negotiation
for more than a generation, the. question was
submitted to the arbitration of Douis -Napoleon,
at the time President of the French (Republic,
who decided that hot Mug was due from Portu
gal. This decision* was put on the ground of err
ceptional circumstances, and, among other things’
that the American commander “had not applied'
from the beginning for the intervention of the
neutral sovereign, and that, by having recourse to
arms, to repel an unjust aggression of which he
to be the object, he had himself failed to
respect the neutrality Of the territory of the foreign
sovereign, and had thereby released: that sovereign
from the obligation under wMohihewas to &fford
protection byany other means than that of a paoifio
intervention;” .( Wheaton, Elements of International
Law, p. 721. Lawrence’s note; De Cussy, tomj 2, p.
8.) In this case the ship waf.destroyed, so that, there
was no question'of restitution. But Great. Britain
made no reparatlonof any kind.
(U.) Thtilong Interval of peaoe which ensued after
the Outrages lost mentioned caused a lull In British
destined, however, to he awakened by
toe blast of war. la 1887’Oaaada was disturbed by a
rebellion, which was 10Howed.soon.by toe lnvasion of
.-our territorial j urisdiction atNlagara. I refer to toe
ease of too steamboat Caroline, which, whHe mbored
to toe American shore, was entoroi ln toe darkness
of night by a British expedition from Canada, set on
Are, and pnshed into toe rapids to'be precipitated
over toe cataract. Some persons on board were klUed
and otoers wounded. For thlsunq: uestionablo viola
■ tlon-of our territory, there was no. .offer of repara
tion—” no atonement audno apology,” as Hr. Web-’
ster expressed It, until, nearly five years afterwards,
* Lord Ashburton, on his special mission, expressed'
aregret“that some, explanation and apology was
not immediately made,” The amiable language of
too British Minister was accepted promptly by Mr.
Webster, who was at toe time Secretary of State,
and the controversy subsided. The steamboat had
beendeslroyed; hut there was no offer to restore its
value, nor was this, question raised by our Govern
ment.— (WebsteiSs Works, ml. 6, p. lW; ml. bfpp.
201-300,)'
(17.) iThe latest instance in point of time, which It
may be worth while to name, in this list, is that of
toe Brazilian ship Santa Crus, which, in 1850, was
seized and burnt, with all her papers and contents,
by a British cruiser in the Brazilian waters. - Tho
excuse for toe seizure was that the ship was engaged
In toe slave trade, and for toe burning, that she was
unseaworthy; but bothtoeße assertions were denied
point blank by too Brazilian Government,,which
branded .jhe transaction as one of “ vandalism,” and
gave notice that ltwould demand an Indemnity for
the loss of the ship*/-' s the ship was destroyed, there
: was no question of its restitution. But there was a
formal protest against what was oaUed “ a violation
of too law of nations by acts contrary to too digni
ty, the sovereignty, and the Independence of Brazil,
a nation as sovereign and independent as England,
although it may not have the power to prevent,
similar proceedings.” (He Cussy, tom. 2, p. 369.)
THU CASS AT ISSUE BETWHBH POMBAL AKD PITT
A biraious passage of history.
(IS.) . There is another-instance, which, though
earlier- in time, I have reserved for the last, on ac
count of too authentic declarations of an eminent
British Minister 'bearing on the veiy question now
In issub between Brazil and toe United Stajhi. I

merous friends of Gaptaih Charles Francis Hall,
the American Arctic explorer, have anxiously waited
to hear from Mm since Ms departure from New
foundland, anchasthe season is so far advanced, it
is .barely possible that he will he.-heard from
until some , ten months pass away. The following
letter from the owner of the vessel In wlitoh he took
passage totholcy regions will be found- of interest:
'“New (uondon, Saturday, Nov., 26,1884,
“ 11, S. Orion, Esq., New' Ymk:
“ Bear Sir : * * *. Thelastlheardof Mr.
Hall andpartywas about August 27th, bound up.
‘ Rowe’s‘Weleome,’ in the schooner Helen F., tender
■to theMohticello. The vessels from Hudson’s hay
are all in-for this year. No further tidings are ex
pected until September or October next. The Mon
tlcello will winter at Two Brothers’ hay, just north
of Chesterfield inlet, and the schooner at Marble
ißland, probably, I think it quite mtrange that no
late - letters were reoeived fiomMr. Hall, Three-,
vessels have arrived,in New Bedford since my.brig
got In. I think, however; that Hall was farther
north than they, and the Bchooner he wont In had
not comedownwhenthey left. . > ,
, i “Fours, truly, Richard H.Chapsll.” ■
Henry GrinneH, Esq., of New York, has received
a letter from Hannah (Tukllltoo), in wniob she says
that Captain Hall had engaged an additional guide,
andthat joe (Ebelrping) has recovered-his health,
and that the whole party were in,first-rate health
andspirits. Possibly we may hear of Captain Hall's
rdovOmentsOil.tbe way of England; but this is only
abare,chanee?
- An AmcßirEW to Assassinate Gen. Grant.—
A gentleman who was a passenger on the train
which brought General Grant from Baltimore to
Philadelphia, on Friday week, relatesdhs.foliowlng -
' rather remarkable Incident., The General had been
sitting for a longtime at one of the windows of the
car. During the evening he left bis seat and passed
; into-a forward oar, where he remained. Another
gentleman, who had seated Mmself in,the position
vacated by the General, was subsequently startled
by. two leaden bullets that came crasMng through
the window-pane add lodged in the other-side ofthe
car. Fortunately these messengers of death strnok
a-little too high to .do any Injury. Whether
.was the, result of accident or was a doliborateat-,

(from fifty thousand citizens of Illinois will be pre
sented at the coming session of the Legislature of
that State for the repeal of the black laws of DU-'
. note. Mr. Jones, of CMcago, a colored man of great
-energy, formerly a Blave, but now the.owner of one
of thejfinest buildings in the city, is among the most
‘ active in urging this matter.
The FsospHOEtrs Trade The Boston Trans

standing with the dealers in this dangerous sub

be traced, so that It will be almost impossible to ob

The stock market continued dull yesterday. Money
Is In ample supply, at d lenders find it impossible to ob
tain deployment for it, except in schemes of specula
tion. No better time than the present could be selected
by the Government for the negotiation of a loan. Many
parties are purchasing railway shares simply from their
inability to use their surplus funds in any other way,
and Government securities have been purchased
largely for the same reason. The various Government
loans sold to a considerable extent yesterday at steady
prices, the 1881 s at 112%, the 10-40 bends at 98#, and the
6-20 s at IC6#—thelatter a slight advance. There was
little said in State loans, and prices were lower. City
6* were also weak, and the new sold at 101#. Com
pany bonds were dull, and generally lower in price.
Borth Pennsylvania 6s declined 2; Camden and Amboy
mortgage 6s 1, and 2d mortgage Pennsylvania Baliroad
%; the first mortgage was steady at 112, Beading bonds
5 70,at 101, Susquehtuma Canal 6s at 61#, Camden and
Ambpy 6s of 1870 at 107%, and Sunbnryand Erie 7s at
IC7. The share list was very dull; Beading declined #,
Pennsylvania Bailroad was at 67#, Minehillat
60, Northern Central at 56#, Norristown Railroad at
69#, and Lehigh Valley at 80; Caiawisaa pret sold at
38, a decline of #. There was less doing in-oil stocks,
and prices were generally off. Curtin and Walnut 1
Island are agaiu lower. We received, late on Tuesday
evening, a despatch from the agent of the associated
press; dated Pittsburg, which stilted that an ißima^ TO
oil well had been struck on the premises of the Seneca
Oil Company. The despatch bore upon its face" the
•marks of. a stock-jobbing operation, and The Press,
of couree;, did not pnbliah it in its .telegraphic
columns. It found its way into some of the other city
papers, however, and the consequence was that before
the regular board yesterday the stock sold at an advance
of 3. Later in the day, however, when the facts of the
case became known, the stock had relapsed to its old
'price. The despatch, it is said, was written in this
city, instead of Pittsburg, and those who were in the.
** ring,’ ’ho doubt, made a handsome profit out*of their
speculation. Gity Passenger Baliroad shares are dull,
with sales of Thirteenth mid Fifteenth at 26, an advance
of 1; and Bace and Vine at 12; 68# was bid for Second
and Third, & decline of # ; 24 for Spruce and Pine, a
decline of #; 40 for Chestnut and Walnut; 66 for West
Philadelphia; and 15 for Arch-street, a decline of #;
55 was asked for Fifth and Sixth, a decline of 2; 48 for

! The whole number of National hanks now organized N
is five hundred and eighty-seven. The amount of cur
rency issued during the week, ending on the 26tli lust,
was $2,032,880," which, added to that previously issued,
makes an aggregate of $66,5(8,800 of the new national
currency now in circulation. A majority of the national
hanks now being authorized are conversions from State
institutions, and, as the new currency in. a great
measure takes the plajjp of the old issues, the addition
‘to the paper circulation is not so great as it would ap
pear Without taking this fact inJto.consideration,and the
same maybe said in regard to theapparenfc increase of
bulking capital. *The'follow in#additional banks have
been designated by the Secretary of the Treasury as de- :
positaries of public znoneysr First Bank of ChQicothe,,
Ohioi'Pirst Bank of Paterson, N. J,iHarrisburg, Pa.,
National Bank; Indianapolis, Ind., National Bank.
The Treasury Department has just replied to a protest
of the National banks against the Imposition of a license
tax, under the Excise law. of June 28. of the current
year, denying the right of exemption, .in accordance
with section 79 of the act, whichreads thus:
Ssc. 79. And be it farther enacted, that there shall be
paid annually; for each license granted ,the sum herein
stated Any number, of persons, except
lawyers, conveyancers, claim agents, physicians, sur
geons, dentists, cattle brokers, horse dealers, and ped
dlers, carrying on such businesses copartnership nay
transact such business at the place specified in their
licenses and hot otherwise, that is to eay : '* '
1 Banterß übluk or employing not oxceeitaE
tie f nin of fifty thousand dollar. 6iall pay one hundred
dollars for such license; when using or employing a :
capital exceeding fifty thousand dollars,for everyaddi
tion&lthousajiddollars in excess of fifty thousand dol
lars, twodoliars. Every person* firm, or company, and
'every incorporated or otber b&nk, li&ving a j>lace of
business credits are opened,by the deposit or
collection of money or currency, subject to be-paidor
remitted upon draft, check, or order, or where money
Is advanced or loaned on stocks, bonds, bullion, bills of
exchange, or promissory notes, or where stocks,bonds,
bullion, bills of exchange, or promissory notes are re
ceived for discount or sale, shall be regarded a banker
under this act: Provided, That any savings bank having
no capital stock, and whjse business is confined to re
ceiving deposits and loaning the same for the benefit of
its. depositors* and which does no other business of
banking, shall not be liable to pay for a license as a
banker.
4nd the currency act had become a law a month be
fore the above was apprehended. The official reply
goes on to say: *
It is said, however, that the currency and the reve
nue bills were before Congress at the same time; that/
it wax generally supposed that the latter would -first
become a law. and that the provision aUudetfcfco *’ih
lieu of existing taxes,’’ in tie bill last paesedTwould
.prevent the assessment of national banks for licanses.
It isfbut just to Congress, however, that it
did precisely what it intended'to do. But if, for any
reason, it failed to do so, it is not competentfor this,
office to override or suspend a ciearly-expressed pro
vision. oi the.-laws it has updn-mother
grounds, too, I am persuaded that the proper con
struction of this provision limits its application to the
tax upon capital, circulation, and deposits. It is found
only in that section of the currency act which -levies
these taxes, and the corresponding section of the
excise law. Section ene hundred andtemprovldes
that.the tax assessed therein upon, capital, circulation,
and. deposits shall not apply to associations taxed under
and by virtue of die currency act.: Tn© taxes udder one
law are payable to the Treasurer of 'theWhited States;
those under the other to the.Commmissionar.of ihtarnal
Revenue, and the double taxaiionof nattoiial-bafiksis
guarded against by express provision. Section ojwhun
dred and twenty of the excise law levies a, tax of five
per centum upon all dividend a and undistributed earhr
fngs of all banks. There is no exclusion of national
banka, as in the one hundred and tenth section* above
referred to; but it will not be argued for a moment, I
imagine, that it was ever designed that they shouM.De'
relieved from this taxation. Yet it is difficult r to see
how the same construction which would exempt them
from the operation of the seventy ninth sectionef the
statute would not save them also from its one h-apdfftd
and twentieth section. If theymre not subject to license
duty their dividends and additions to surplus are free
from taxation. They are, as I have stated, shielded by
name in the excise iaw.from what were otherwreeufax
upon their capital, circulation, and deposits; and, for
the reasons I have given, I am constrained, to' believe,
them subject to asiessment for license.
The protesting parties complain £h& they are sub* .
