IMPERIAL DECREE,

Declaring the British ISIS in q state of Blockade.
IMPERIAL CAMP, Berlin, Nov. 81, 1906.
Napoleon, Emperor of the French, and King Of Italy
Considering:
/. That England does not admit the right of
Nations as universally acknowledged by all CT
vilized people:
Q. That she declares as an enemy, every indi-
vidual belonging to an enemy State, and in con-
sequence, makes prisoners of war, not only the
crews of armed vessels, but those also Of mer-
chant vessels, and even the supercargoes of the
same:
s. That she extends or applies TO merchant
vessels, TO articles of Commerce, and to the pro-
perty Of individuals, the right Of conquest,
which can only be applied or extended to what
belongs to an enemy State:
4. That she extends to ports no: fortified, to
the harbors and mouths of rivers, the right of
blockade, which, according to reason and the
usage of civilized nations, is applicable only to
strong or fortified places.
That she declares blockaded, places before
which she has not a single vessel of war; al
though a place ought not to be considered
blockaded except when it is so invested as that
no approach 10 it can be made without immi-
nent hazard:-that she declares even places
blockaded, which her united forces would be
incapable of doing; such as entire coasts, and a
whole empire: =
5. Tha, this uneqaalled abuse of right of
blockade has no other object than to interrupt
the communication of different nations;. and to
raise the commerce 'and industry Of England
upon the ruin Of those of the continent:
6. That this being the evident design of Eng
land, whoever deals on the continent in English
merchandise, favor that design, and become an
accomplice:
q. That this conducti in England, (woTthy on,
ly ofthe tirs, ages of barbarism) has benefited
her to the detrilnent of other nations:
8. That 1t being right to oppose to an'enemy
the same arms she makes use Of, 10 combat as
she does; when all ideas of justice, and every
liberal sentiment, (the result OF civilization a
mong men) are disregarded:
We have resolved to force against England
the usage, which she has consecrated in her
maratime code:
The present decree shall be considered as the

NO. XVII,

During the invasion of Eeypt bv Por,..
IN the year 1899, be entered into a con,r,,,
with a commercial house at Algiers. to snno.
the French army with grain. r"'
These supplies it appears were regularly f.,
nIshed TO a very great amount; but difHcpI,i,
having arisen with respect to a settlement .,
their accounts, a large sum remained due f.
them, at the time Bonaparte left EpyDt.
Finding no prospect Of obtaining their law.
ful demand, the House at .Algiers at length IN.
piled to their own government to %interpose i,
authority in supporting their claim.
1t is understood that Napoleon offered 70 IN.
demnify them, provided the AIgerine goyen.
ment would adopt some hostile measures :,
gainsr England.
BE this however as itmay, under various Df.
texts, payment was never made during NaDO.
Icons reign.
After the restoration Of the Bourbons, this
claim was renewed by the .AIgerine governn,n.
and was eventually admitted, and provision
made Tor 1t in a treaty between France and Al.
giers. The French Minister Of Finance. in his
annual budget for the year 1890, asked and oh.
tanned of the TWO Chambers, a grant of six mil.
lions Of Francs, to carry into effect this treaty,
or in other terms, to provide for this claim,
which was actually pad.
Thus we see, that not only the subjects Of all
the European monarchs have been indemnIfej
by France, but the piratical government Of Al
giers, has obtained indemnify for its subjects,
whilst the citizens Of the United States, who
have been robbed of millions, of the fruits q
their industry, are alone left without redress
Spirit Of 76, whittier hast thou hed?
Phenix gazette. [volume] (Alexandria [D.C.]) 1825-1833, 1826-10-31
NO. XVIII,

At the commencement ofthese essays, severa
| important parts Of the Convention Of 1900
were quoted as a foundation, upon which 70
build our rights to indemnity from France.
Through oversight, the 9Th article of tina
Convention, which is permanent in lis nature
was omitted.
That article is in these wordS:-"Neither Tx
debts due from individuals Of one nation, TO III
dividuals OF the other, nor shares or monies
which they may have in the public funds, or Il
public or private Banks, shaN ever in any tH.
of War, or NatiOna! difference, be sequeatgd u
con fScated"
If, in the event ofwar, private property, which
had arrived in France previously thereto, could
not be sequestered or conhscated, how mgt.
greater right have we 10 restitution of thai
which came in, under the protection ola Tree
,y, during profound peace-a peace which h-
never since been interrupted?
But without a Treaty, the established usage
of Nations is, to respect private property, 'ouo'
on land, when war is declared. At the com
mencement Of hostilities between Great BrIla.
and France, in the year 1898, the French GOV
eminent seized all British property louNd i"
France. Convinced Of that injustice, the pr
sent French Government stipulated 10 mas.
restitution, by the Treaty concluded at Par,~
May, 1914. This stipulation which formed :.
additional article to the Treaty OF peace m-3
be found in Niles Register, for August 1917
and is in the following words:
"There shall be granted by both the foT T'',
Immediately after the ratification OF lnIS isI
ty Of Peace, a release of all sequestratlons "D.s@
may have been put since the year w. Gp
all the funds, revenues, credits, or other e"',
whatsoever, of the high contracting paF"'' "
their subjects" #
Although this article had the dii9eafa'' ~
being mutual; it operated altogether III i""'
of Great Britain.
By virtue of this article of the Treaty, ab,IL h.
sum was paid by France to Grea: BrI'aI",
appointed Commissioners to divide II a".o' S,,
the claimants. Thus we see that franz
done an act Of Justice TO her old enemy waited
she denies to a Nation, who has always "e"'
her as a friend.
