Sin. I have the bon*. to acknowledge the
receipt from you of a copy of a resolution-of
the Senate of the United Mates of the flat of
December, hies.. la that rrrotothm the Senate
reapeettatly reeMbate to be informed upon
what Mathes Jeff. Darla le stil held in
must, and why tubas not been Pal upon his
trial. •
When the war was at its crisis Jeff. Davis,
the CeMinantierstreChlef of the army of the
Insurgents, was taken prisoner with other
prominent rebels by the military forces of the
totted States. It We, the duty of the military
an to take them. They have been heretofore,
and are yet, held as prisoners of war. Though
active bostllities have ceased. a Gate of war
still eglats In the territory In rebellion. Go
tta peace shall come in fact, and in law, they
can rightfully be held as prisoners of war.
1 have ever thought that trials for high teen-
POD cannot be had before a military triburnal.
The civil courts have alanejestadlction of that
crime. The quelitton then arises when and
where mast the trials thereof be hell. In that
elauoe of the Constitution mentioned la the
resolution of the Senate, itts plainly written
they rated be held In the tate and district
wherein the Crime shall have boon committed.
I know canny persons of learning and ability
entertain the opinion that the Commalltler-ite
Chief of the rebel armies would be regarded
tos constitutionally rms.:a with the insurgent.
who prosecuted hostilities and made war upon
the Northern and southern border. of the
loyal States. This doctrine of constructive
presence, carried to Its logical consequence,
would mace ell who had been convicted with
the rebel armies liable to trial te nay State and
District Into w itch any portion of those armies
had made the sitght.rt Incursion. Not lee lug
remanded of the correctness of that opinion,
but regarding the doctrine maintained as, at
least, of verp 'dentate; constitutionalpy.
have thought it not proper to advise you to
eau.so criminal ,proceedin a to be Institut.)
against Jefferson Davis or against any other
Insurgent la the States or Districts to which
they were not actuallyy, present during the
prosecution of hostilities. Some prominent
rebels were personally present at the invasion
of Maryland and Dennaylvaubt, but all, or
nearly all of them received military paroles,
upon the surrender of the rebel armies, while
I think that those parties have no ultlimde
protection, for prosecution for high treason,
I have thought that It would be a violation
of the paroles to prosecute those persons for
crimes before the political power of the gov
()raiment bee proclaimed that the rebell
ion has been suppressed. It follows from
what I have ..sttid, that I am of the opinion
that Jeff. Davis, and others of the insurgents
ought to be tried In some one of the States or
Pistrieta to w filch they in person, especially
committed the crimes with which they may
b chargod.
Though active hostility and flagrant war
have not for some time existed between the
United States anti the insurgents, peaceful re
haulms between the Government and the. Peo
ple In the Kates' and Districts In rebellion,
have not yet been fully restored. None of the
Jnutires of the Supreme Court lave held
cir
cult courts in those circuits and districts since
actual hostilities ceased. When the court

He intimates that the French Minister Lo

Under date of Tebraary 6, 1655. he. further

Mr. Seward replies, under date of February

On the 10th of April, Mr. Romero communi

Mexican 'steamer Orizaba, as an additional
proof of the Identity of the political interest
which exists between the Insurgents of this
country and the pitrtisans of the French cause
in Merin,. ,
In a commanthation dated July 6th, "Romero
addutes further evidence of Mexican compli
