THE-REBEL COMMISSIONERS.
The capture of the Rebel Commissioners
Slidell and Mason has, elicited considerable dis
cussion, and we present the following historical
case in point from the New York Evening Pan,
which says the earliest case of the seizure of an
envoy sent by a beligerent to a neutral is des
cribed by Thucycides, (Book ii. , c. 67,) who
says that the Peloponinesians, being at war
with the Athenians, sent messengers to Persia
to negotiate an alliance with the people of that
nation. But the Athenians caught the envoys
in Thrace, and put them to death. "This
might have been cruel," says Woolsey, (Inter
national Law, p. 222,) "but was not against
the modernist inter genlee." In the wars of the
sixteenth century Venice, France and Germany
exercised the same right of stopping hostile
messengers in transits over their own or neutral
territory.
England has been particularly conspicuous
in this manifestation of her belligerent power.
In 1744 Marshal Belleiale, who was a regularly
accredited l'itniott Miniatot Was m i litated: 6ir
English troops in Hanover, and carried a pris
oner to England. But the naval arrests are
still more lertinent and explicit. Take tliat' Of
the Atlanta (6. Robertson Admiralty Report,
440,) for one. The Atlanta was a Bremen ship,
which, on a voyage from Batavia to Bremen,
stopped at the Isle' of France, where she took
on board . 'one Colonel Richmond, an officer of
artillery and second in command in the Isle of
France, who came as a planter of the island;
also a package from the Governor, which prov
ed, when the vessel was captured, to be des
patches to the government of France, with
which Great Britain was then at war. The
captain was ordered, in case of pursuit by .a
British vessel, to give the package to Colonel
RiChMob,ll,4llo. atipe&TS Ao;liave been_ virtual
despatch bearer, but passed as a civilian, "for
the purpose, it is said, of avoiding imprison
ment tit case of capture."
On this point the British Admiralty Court—
which bonder tied - the vessel as prize for "un
neutml conduct," decided : " This might, per
haps, be the real and only inducement for con
senting to take him (Colonel Richmond) under
that.disguise ; but even that is an accommoda
tion which neutral shipmasters and supercar
goes have no right to afford." As to the "sim
.ple carrying of despatches," the Court calls it,.
"a service highly injurious to the other bellige
rents."
The Susan, an American ship, was condemn
ed in 'the British Admiralty Court in April 1,
1808, having been Ruptured on a voyage from
Bordeaux to New York, for having on board a.
packet addressed 'to the Prefect of the Isle of
France. It appeared that this package contain
ed ouly,a letter providing for the payment of
the•prefect's salary; and the captain made affi
davit Of his ignorance of the contents, and that
the packet was delivered to him by, a' private
Merchant. The defence insisted upon. "the.in--
significance of such a communication and its
want of connection with the political objects of
the war;" but the British court condemned the
vessel as prise, and though releasing the cargo,
condemned also the master's private venture.
Again, the American ship Hope, captured on,
a voyage from Bordeaux to New York, and hay,
ing on board various despatches to the officers
of government in the French Wet Indies and'
the Isle of France, was condemned in the BA
,
tish courts on the 9ffi. of April, 1808. She had
on board a. French military officer of rank, who
had been shipped in the character of a mer
chant's clerk, going to New York to settle cer
tain accounts. The master made affidavit of
his ignorance, and stated that "in answer to a
request made to him; he• had refused publicly
in the coffee howls at Bordeaux, 'to take any
public paperk" The court held him guilty,
nevertheless, of criminal intent, and he lost his
*hip.

THE CONTRABAND MINISTER
That the English newspaper writers will howl
over the capture of Mason and Slidell, says the
Bulletin of last evening on . board a British
steamer, is to bo expected :air matter of course.
The event will be welcome to them, as affording
new material out of which to manufacture
abuse of the United States. They have pro
bably heard of it , by this time, al the Trent
must be in England, the bearer of. the tidings
of what will be called arriioutrage on the
British flag."
aln the absence of the, official reports of this
important capture of first-class traitors, we do
not think it necessary to hunt up precedentli in
our own history, or that of other nations, by
which it may be justified, though this can be
done if it is needed. Commodore Wilkes anted
like a faithful patriot and public servant, whose
duty was to seize mischievous traitors wherever
he met them, without any special reference to
conventional punctilios, DiPlomacy may have
its negotiations, and even its apologies.; But
whatever course be adoptedloy the:administra
tion, the sovereign American! people wilt tnever
consent to the disavowal of an act which. has
really brought se much joy .to f their hearta as
could have been catastxl -by- the new , of a -great
victory.
Messrs. Mason and Slidell are citizens of the
United "States, although:unworthy alba name;
As such they have held high and 'responSible
positions and received iumrlikune :enzolumente
from the Federal Treasury. If they, invi. been
threatened, while on_Nthii high eetas, with vio
lence from a foreign power, they would -have
been very glad to have 'obtained the protection
of the naval power of the United States. 444-
ing committed the higtiestCrime esiainst their
country, they may have. lost the right,to that
protectiorq bet they have nUt obtained immuni
ty from punishment.: tritiffiAsee4ptains hive
no right to make theiriships.places of refugefor
American criminals.. : The English Clovemmsot
has so often insisted oh the 40449,4 the right
of visit and the -right of , match, ,evell in cases
far less momentoda+ than tti* that; , itkannot;
With any showof consistency, CoMpleshi because
the captain of an American man-of-war has vi
sited one of its merchant steamers and carried
off a party of criminals.
