S1R-The ship Acastus, Captain Cottle,
from Norfolk, bound to Tonningen, with to-
bacco, had been boarded by an English frigate
and was taken by French privateer and
brought into Fecamp for the fact Of having
been so boarded This was in Nov. last On
the I'd of Dec. | stated the facts to the Duke
of Bassano /; and in few days alter the snip,
anu Uar5. rere eedorod by the Emperor. to
be restored to the owners on condition mat
she had not violated the French navigation
laws, which latter question was sent to the
council of prizes to determine. The cornell
determined that no such violation had tken
place, and the ship and cargo were detnltvely
restored to captain Cotte.
To the above fact, can add that sine my
residence here several American vesselswlth
cargoes have arrived and been admittedii the
ports Of France after having touched in Ing
land, the fact being declared, and there i no
instance within that period ola vessel in ether
of the cases OF the Berlin and Milan DEGREES
being detained or mo!ested by the French go
vernment.

MS cause was argued az november lcTRHJ
and the court then gave an opinion upon the
case as disclosed by the libel Of which some
notice was taken In the Register soon after the
rise of the court. But leave having been OBJ
tanned to amend the libel, the cause came on
again to be tried upon the amended libel at
the last term. I his vessel departed from, Ocra-
cock, In the month of August, 1909, subse-
quent to the PRONUNCIATION of the Presidents
proclamation of ths 9th of the same month
and traded to d British port. TIE points made
in the cause were, lst. Whether commercials
intercourse with Great Britain and her depan-
denotes was restored by force of the Pre,i-
dents proclamation of the 18Th Of April, 1902
and II not, whether the act Of congress OF
the 2Sth OF June of the same wear, did not re"
cognlse and confirm the proclamation. %.
Ii such commercial intercourse was restored,
then whether the same was interdicted by the
proclamation of the eth Of August Aftersr-
gument on both sides. the chief Justice de-
livercd an opinion which we regret we did Tot
hear: But upon che first point he WAS very
clearly of opinion Gas we are informcd( that
commercial intercourse was restored between
the United States and Great Britain and her
dependencies, by the proclamation OF the 9th
of April--for that the President was the only
constitutional channel Of diplomatic intcT~
course with foreign nations and the only or
gan of communication to the people Of the
United States upon this subiect-that the e.
vent, therefore, upon the happening OF which
the President was to proclaim, was fact DOT
susceptible Of proof, other than that which IS
derived from this proclamation.
Upon the Cd point he decided that the trade
with Great Britain was not intcrdicted by the
proclamation of the 9th Of August; But in
this opinion he owned he had not full conf
dence--that he thought it very doubtful, from
the phraseology of the acts of congress on
| this subject, whether or not the President was
vested with power to issue the latter procla.
nation. The attorney for the United States
| took an appeal, which, we presume, will be
carried up to the supreme court for the Pur-
pose of having the question finally settled.
