exemption from the operation of the
provisions of the act, entitled "an act
concerning the commercial intercourse
between the United States and Great
Britain and France and their dependen-
cies, and for other purposes" under
which they are apprehensive the said
property maybe implicated; for reasons
stated at large in the petition. Refer
red to Messrs. Giles, Crawford, An
derson, Goodrich and Pope, the com.
mittee TO whom was referred so much
of the Presidents message, as concerns
the relations between the United States

The principles of Blockade.

A sufficient investing force to rem
der ingress or egress, by land or sea, to
or from besieged place dangerous to
neutral making the attempt after due
notification thereof by the besiepine
|power. After such notification of a
place SO circumstanccd, the ATTEMPT
to enter or depart therefrom, subjects
the property of persons concerned, to
capture and con6sca,ion.
This doctrine is justified by the prac.
tice of nations in their respective neeo-
Citations, and has been acceded to by G.
Britain.
The principles now set up by G. Bril-
tain are, that one nation can blockade
the ports, rivers, harbors, bays, or
coasts Of another, without an actual
and sufficient investing force, BY mere
proclamation, after the date of which,
all property attempting to enter places,
declared on paper only, to be in state
of blockade, becomes liable to seizure
and conhscation to the benefit of any
marauding cruizer which may happen
to interrupt it, without the actual pre-.
sence of sufficient investing or block
aiding force.-The former doc trines
have been admitted by all civilized ma.
tions: the latter have been opposed by
all civilized nations; the former were
advocated by every administration
which has been at the helm of Ameri.
can affairs; the latter is justified by
the party editors now styling them
selves federal. The conclusion ire.
sistibly is forced upon US, that the edi-
tors now called federal are not iden-
tilted with the old federal school: but
with MIR Stephens " British party in
America" in as much as the old fede.
raj school advocated doctrines which
the Essex Junto are striving to ex.
plode.-B. American.
