SEIZURE OF A BRlTIsH VEssEL.--The
New York Herald states that dispatches
have been received at Washi@gion from
the squadron in the Gull OF Mexico, sta
ting that British merchant vessel, of
light tonnage, 9reigAted with merchandize
for an English merchant, resident in
Mexico, has been seized aud condemned
as lawful prize, on the principle that a
merchant permanently residing in Meki-
co, no matter of what power he may be
subject, is to be treated in time Of war as
a citizen of the country in which be re-
sides and does business.
This proceeding is sustained by the
practice of the British admiralty courts
during the war between France and Eng
land, and alse during the war,,of 1912 and
rs, between the United States and Great
Britain.

A ScAMP.-A fellow named Chase has
recently made tour through the northern
part ofihe State OF New York, represent
ing himself, as he went, as being an a.
gent OF one OF the factories at Lowell.
for the purpose of engaging some thirty
young women TO proceed 10 that city, to
be employed in said factory. Several fe-
males were induced to go 10 Howell, and
he managed to get their trunks into his
possession and decamped, leaving the
poor girls, in some instances, penniless.
The rascal deserves to be whipped with
a knot made Of apron strings, while
strength existed in the pretty arms Of
those he had robbed.
