announces the purpose of refusing to permit
American commerce hereafter to be taxed to
any such end. From time immemorial the
governments Of Europe have permitted their
merchant ships to be taxed for the privilege of
passing through the Sound, which is really as
much a" high sea" in law, as the Atlantic
ocean. When Mr. Buchanan was Secretary OF
State, he offered some 5000, 900 to get rid of this
tax hereafter. 1t seems to be understood, how
ever, that the present Administration having
caused a thorough examination into Denmark

our ships shall no longer pay them, as they
are based upon no sound principles of right OF
