ADMIRALTY DECISION

A question arising out Of the famous
decree issued by B9natarfc, for placing
Grtat- britain in state Of blockade,was
decided on the 18th .Ai4gu8t last, in the
British Court of Admiralty Sir lillian
Scott. The SAMSON, an American ship,
had been captured under this decree
by French cruizer, and re-captured
by British ship of war. Salvage was
demanded for the re-capture, which
was resisted by the American, or
the ground that the decree Of blockade
was not to be carried into effect against
Americans, and that the vessel would
have been restored to the owners bv the
Free. 4 tribunal.
Sir William Scott obseryedI that the
meaning of the word blockade in this
decree must necessarily be the same
as when applied to the blocking Of a
single port or harbour, and therefore
the decree must be clearly understood
as extending 10 prevent all intercourse
ofthe subjects of Neutral States with
Great-Britain while, from the publi-
city and solemnity of the decree itself,
AZ was fair to conclude that il would DC
acted-upon. The subjects OF France
must have necessarily considered it
IN this light, and must have been
led to LOOK upon all such neutral
vessels as lawful prize and all the
authorities of that country were put
IN motion to give it effect. Such
being the state of things, it was impos-
sable not 10 say, that, trina Iacie, great
service had been done to the American
owners by the recapturc. There was
nothing III the decree 10 distiDguish
the Americans from other nations. or
to exemPtthem iromits effects. Their.
did otapPear any sort Of treaty which
at all modified the decree, with + gard
70 the Americans.
Some correspondence upon this sub-
. Ject had indeed taken place, between
the French Minister Of Marine and
General Armstrong, the American
Minister a. Paris, and between the lat
ter and Mr.. Lyman, the American
Consul III this country, from which
however nothing had resulted which
entitled 70 attention III the decision ~
Tins case. \ decree was pronounced
by SIR William Scott, giving s,Iya.-..
