the limits Of the Union for descent upon other
eontries, whilst solemn treaties exist to forbid it,
ssThe Executive il sworn to carry out the laws
s'enacted by the people through their representa-
lives in Congress- and if the people desire to alb.
"rbgate treaties they must do so in the proper
sway" There is no treaty stipulation at all with
Suain which touches this question. There is only
one provision of any existing treaty with that Gov.
eminent, which has reference to the interference
of citizens or subjects fether in hostiities against
the other. The fourteenth article of the Conven-
ton Of 1892 agrees that citizen Of either nation
shall, in time of war, take a commission from a
foreign power, 10 prtvateer against the com
MERGE Of the other. There is no clause in any Of
the treaties, which creates obligation to repress
in any way, expeditions, military or otherwise,
against either party The obligation, if any, arises
under the general law Of nations-and tits NOT by
any means settled that there is any duty to become
the police agents and executioners for foreign
government.
The duties assumed by President Taylor in this
matter are not taken under any Treaty, but as we
understand, under the provisions of statute of our
own, with which Spain has nothing to do. The
arrests have been made under the neutrality act,
originally passed in 1884, and reenactsd in 1918.
We have already published the material portions
Of the act, as they bear on such expeditions as
those in question.
The principal sections are the sixth and eighth.
The sixth enacts that if any person shall, within
the territory or jurisdiction of the United States,
begin or set foot provide or prepare the means
for any military expedition or enterprise to be car
Fied on from thence against the territory domin-
ions Of any prince State, of any colony, dis
arict or people, with whom the United States are
at peace, every persen so offending shall be deemed
guilty Of a. high misdemeanor, and shall be fined
not exceeding three thousand dollars, and impris
oned not more than three years, The eighth sec
ton makes il lawful for the President Of the
United States, or such person as he shall have en-
ployed for the purpose to employ the military or
naval forces of the United States for the purpose
Of preventing the carrying on of any such expedi-
lion or enterprise"

DAN HIcKoK's REGAFTA.-The Regatta at the
Laie-end of the Shell Road comes off on Friday
next. 1t will undoubtedly be the most exciting
and interesting race Of the season. The attendance
will be larger than at any previous regatta. All
the New Orleans people viii be down at the Frank
lin House, and bets will be in proportion to the
size of the crowd. The race is open to boats Of all
sorts, and there will probably be more variety in it
than in any other regatta we have had on the
Lake-shore during the summer. The people from
Mobile and the Watering Places may be.suFe of
good accommodation at Dan Hickok's.
