The sea, extends TO The distance Of cannon
shot, or lhrse marine miles from The shore,
this icing the supposed limit TO which de.
f'nco Of The coast from the land itself, can
be extended.
The whole discussion. therefore, must
turn upon this, viz: the Lobos Islands, ".
ing in the open ocean, so far from any con-
Iinenta possessions of Peru as no. 10 be-
long TO that country by The law of proxim.
l'y or adjacent position, has The government
of thai country exercised such unequivocal
acts OF absolute sovereignty and ownership
over them, as 10 give 10 her a right to their
exclusive possession, as against the Uniied
States and her citizens. by the law Of indis-
Iputable possession? And the undersigned
repeats that this is not a question between
Peru and other governments, who may have
more or less distinctly admilted her rghl;
bur il is question between Peru and The
United States. who have so long exercised
that right and demonstrated against lis In.
lerruplion. ..., --....
The Government of tie United States,
however, is prepared 10 give due considera-
ZION 10 all facts tending 10 show possession
or occupancy of The Lobos Islands by Peru,
and is not inclined 10 stop or preclude dis
cussion until the whole malier shall be
thoroughly investigated If there are any
facts or arguments which have NOT been
brought 10 It's consideration, they shall re.
ceive the most respectable and friendly a,-
len,ion. If it shull turn out that, as hao
been n,imaed above, those Islands are UNI
inhabited and uninhablable, and therefore
incapable of being legally possessed or held
by any one nation. they and their contents
must be considered as the common properly ,
Of all. Or if, unprotected by the presence
OF Peruvian authorities, and without actual
possession, their use has been by Peru aban.
doned or conceded, without limitation of
time, TO citizens Of the United States for a
long period, or yielded in consequence Of
the remons,rance Of this Government or It's
agents, then no exclusive ownership can be
pretended, as against the Uni,ed States at
least. ,..E .... .t.t ,.. .-...,
Under all the circumstances, the Presi.
dent thinks il most advisable that full IN.
ssruclions on this subject should be dispatch.
ep to the Charge d'Atfairs at Lima, and .ha.
proper order should be given to The naval
forces Of the United States in .ha. quarter,
TO prevent collision until further examina-
ZION Of the case. No counlenance will be
given to the authors oil such enlerprizes,
claiming 10 be citizens of The United States,
who may undertake 10 defend themselves or
their vessels by force, in The prosecution Of
any commercial enterprise 10 these Islands.
Such acts would be acts of private war, and
their authors would thereby justly forfeit the
protection of their own Government. M

Mr.. Wendover sustained the bill in a

some debate, it was ordered 10 a third read.
