1t has been the subject Of frequent remark and little
surprise amongst northern politicians that the people
the South have of late manifested less Of excitement and
indignation at the successful progress of antsavery anat

temper has been mistaken for indifference to the sa

AN IMPORTANT ERROR CORRECTED.

The French organ published in New York, the Courier
des Eas U in its issue Of the 18th instant places at
the head of its columns the following statement:
The State Department has just made very important
decision 1t has adopted the principle that Russian ship
sold foreigner and then bought by American citizen
cannot be nationalized As American vessel
The editors of the Courier omit inform their readers
where they found out this important decision Of the
State Department We venture that inquiry
it will be found that the State Department has decided the
very reverse of what is stated in the article in the Co
rier des Flats Unis.
BY the laws of the United States no foreign-bu ship
obtain register but when such ship has been pur-
chased by an American citizen then becomes American
property and begerents has all the rights and
privileges of an American-bult ship.
We have heard that in the beginning of the pending
war in the East the French councils published sort
Of declaration prohibiting the purchase of Russian vessels
by neuras but it is hardly necessary to remark that
declaration like this based upon decree issued by the
French government have no force in country.
The state Of between two parties cannot prevent
trails from buying goods from either of them Hence the
French government has right to forbid prevent
our citizens from buying vessels any other articles be-
longing Russian subjects than Russia has TO prohibit
them from purchasing French silks wines. This posi-
ton was recognised by of the late Congress which
authorized an American citizen get register for Rus
sian ship bought by him in New York.
During the existing the United States have observed
scrupulousy all the rules prescribed by established inter
national law and will continue to adhere strictly them
They will not go beyond these rules win they submit
to arbitrary regulations whatever may be the submission
