NATURALIZED AMERICAN CITIZENS ABROAD.
The alledged want of protection to natural |
Zcd American citizens from arrest for political
or other offences, oil their return to the roulI-
tries from which they previously cmigratcd has
lately formed the subject of comment upon the
part of some of the press; and rrn>ures upon
the course pursued by our Government have
been EXPRESSED, which 4 more correct under
standing of the facts show to have been unjust
A prominent case TO which reference has been
had was that of Frederick Leopold, natural
izpd citizen and resident of Charleston South
Carolina, who. on his return to Hanover, WAS
arrested aud it was stated held 10 seven years,
service in the Iianoverian army The National
Iutelligencer, however, learns from al anllIrI'-
tic source that he was promptly set ut liberty
from arrest, but upon bail, on the incrposl;lnn
of the American Legation ut Berlin aud Tie
Government hns since rcnquiSird
& u upon Mr.. Leopold for service in the
49, >army, on the ground that he hnd
brroS&& su Of the United States. IL
turned outsSoM >~>in his ease, that convic-
ton had been rssssrdfS.7sainst him in Hanover
for the crime Of dcseasSIiun before he became Il
citizen of the United StStes, and since lie mas
returned. and voluntarily PLACED himself with"
its jurisdiction, that Governmcnc>lS DISPOSED 10
hold him responsible to the e1tcnt>& eSac'i"s
from him some pecuniary satisfaction. 3
A similar case had occurred in the arrcstlo
Mr.. Hrirns. ana al application had also bcrn
made for his release, though with what result is
not yet known. The Intclligcnccr, in cSpiana-
ton of the causes of arrests, says lhnt the
European Governments have never consented
to nuliiy the old rule of international law
which makes the right of expa,rialioa depend
OH the will of the Sovereign, and which holds
the subject liable for violation of the laws of
his country who departs without kroprr per-
nit of cmigraion whenever haIITS Snal sovcr-
rign can lay his hands legally upon HIM In
these countries one of the FIRST duties OF every
subject is that Of military service: and though
permits of emigration are freely given, YET ii Is
hiyh offence for young man to leave his coun.
lrY without permission. and willa view to avoid
his military duty.--Baltmor American.
