A General Order, dated Camp, four miles north of

ortenres, and reconsideration of the sentence, says,
" The Comenandine-General approves the finding
and sentence of the Court in the case of A. Arbuth-
not, and approves t►e 'riding and grit sentence of
the Court in the case of Robert C. Andoritter, sod
disapproves the re-consideration of the senteoce of

" It appears from the evidence and pleading of the
Prisoner, that be did lead end command, within the
territory of Spain (being a subject of Great Britain),

rations toning at peace. li is ao established princi-
ple of the law of nations, that any Individual of a
nation making war against the citizens of any other
nation, they being at rare, forfeits his allegiance,
and becomes an outlaw and pirate. This is the case
of Robert C. Ambrister, clearly shown by the evi-
dence adduced.
