The United States and the European

WASHINGTON, June s.-The Administration
has not yetful!y determined On its course Of ac-
tion pending the war in Europe. but has under
consideration declaration or statement Of the
principle by which the United States Is neu-
tral power will be governed.
twill clearly set forth the just rights Of Amer
iesn citizens engaged in peaceful pursuits Of
commerce, which as far as possible The admin.
istration designs to protect. The precise rosi-
tfons which will be assumed cannot be ascer-
taincd, but they approximate to the principles
heretofore declared, viz.
Teat free ships make free goods, eontraband
o{ wss excepted, mud that The goods Of friend
captured On board the vessels Of an enemy, with
the like exception, shall not be subject 10 con-
fiscatiou, and that the rights Of war ought not
in the nature Of things to extend further than
to the interruption Of all trade with blockaded
port and to subject articles contraband ofwar to
capture and contiscation.
The official exposition will involve the dis
cussion Of important questions including that Of
bloctade, and Us to how far this beligsrent right
should be exercised.
