SUPREME COURT.
FRIDAY, MARCH y.

FRIDAY, MARCH 9.
The case of Iced, vs.. The Marine lnsu-
rance Company, was argued by MIR. Swann
and Mr. Jones for the appellant, and by Mr..
Lee and the attorney General fur the re-
apondent.
In the case Of the cargo Of the Spanish
ship La Conception, decided on Thursday
last. it should be added to the note of the
judgment of The Court. contained in our pa
per Yesterday, that, if the case had stood
solely upon the evidence before the Circuit
Court, this Court would have bad no diff
Guilty in affirming the decree of the Circuit
Court, restoring the goods to the captors;
but, upon the new proofs taken since the ap-
peal il appeared that the privateer wasnot
only originally built, equipped, armed, and
manned, in the United States, but that
pretended sale took place at Buenos Ayres,
OF which there was no sufficient evidence to
shew that il was a real 6sna yfde transfer:
so that the privateer still continued to be
owned by citizens of the United States
when she sailed on the second cruize from
Buenos Ayres, in which the capture in
question was made. The case therefore
fell precisely within the authority of the
Bello Corrunes, decided few days since.
