 hip--Ern portant Decision.
 A short time since application was made to the State department, through Mr. II. II. Rlce clerk to the superior court in New York, for foreign passports for eleven persons of color, composing troupe of minstrels who were about to start on q professional tour to Europe. The necessary papers and certificates were for warded with the application. From these it appears that nine of these persons were born in the State of New York, one in Philadelphia, and one in Portland, Maine. Concluding that there would be no difficulty in obtaining pass ports from the department, the troupe left on Saturday last by the Hermann, with the inten- ton of remaining at Bremen until they receiv- ed their credentials, which their agent here was instructed to forward after them This expec- tation has been disappointed by the receipt of the following communication:

DEPARTMENT OF STATE,

'' 1'0''t''y-''' uCsN4''Sj ANON' I.
 Il. Il. RicE Esq, New York cty-Sjr- Your letters of the 29th ult. and Sd inst, re- questng passports for eleven colored persons, have been received, and am directed by the secretary to inform you that the papers trans mlyted by you do not warrant the department i'll complying with your request.
 A passport is a certificate that the person to whom it is granted is citizen of the United States and can only be issued upon proof of this 1act. In the papers which accompany vour communication, there is not satisfactory evil deuce that the persons for whom you request passports are of this des9ripuon They are represented in your letter as colored," and described in the aflidayits as "black," from which statements 1t may Ee fairly inferred that trey are negroes If this is 50, there can be no doubt that they are not citizens of the United States.
 The question whether free negroes are such chzens Is not now presented for the first time, but has repeatedly arisen in the administration of both the national and State governments.- In 1921 a controversy arose as to whether free persons of color were citizens of the United States, within the intent and meaning of the acts of Congress regulating foreign and coasting trade, 50 as to be disqualified to command ves- selS; and Mr. Wlrt, Attorney General, decided that they were not and moreover held that the words, " "cltizenS of the United States,' were used Tn the acts ot Congress in the same sense as ID the constitution This view is also fully sustained ln recent opinion of the present Attorney General
 The judicial decisions Of the country are to the same effect. In kenr'S Commentaries, vol. :, ?. 211, It iSstated that in 1883 Chief Justice Da-Set, oi Connecticut, held that free blacks are not "citizens' within the meaning of the term as used in the constitution of the United States, and the supreme court of Tennessee, in the case of tEe State against Claiborne, held the same doctrine
 Such being the construction of the constitu- ton m regard to free persons of color, it is con- celHed that they cannot De regarded, when be- yond the jurisdiction of this government as en- ttied to the full rights of citizens; but the se- cFetary directs me to say that, though the de- paFIineht could not certlIy that such persons are citizens of the United States. vet if satisfied of the facts, it would give a certificate that they were born in the United States and free: and that the government thereof would regard It to be Its duty to protect them, if wronged by foreign government, while within its jurisdic- tlon for legal and proper purpose
 am, sir, respectfully, your ob't serv't,
