It was said that General Cass was preparing a
circular on the subject of neutral rights, and that
he does not acquiesce in the British views, but
insists that all regular articles of commerce, with
the exception of powder, lead, muskets, &c., and

that the fact of goods being on board vessels car-
rying the flag of the United States exempts them
from seizure, the broad ground being taken that
the flag carries protection with it.
