1--we have already spoken Of the deed of
trust by which Mrs. Dudley. Of Albany, N. Y
conveyed to two children Of Rutger B. Miller all
the properly she possessed, reserving to herself
only an annual income Of IS 600 during her life.
The circumstances under which the paper WIS
executed seemed TO have no doubt that Mrs Dud-
ley never Intended such disposition OF her estate
Indeed, she denied ever having executed such a
paper Under these circumstances 1t was deter
mined by the parties interested-(the estate, by
her will, was to be divided among five fami
hes)-to contest the validity Of the deed. Pre-
limihary proceedings were had, when a commit
tee was hintsd at Ex-Governor King was chosen
mediator and aftersome negotiation it was agreed
that Mr. Miller should assent TO a revocation of the
deed, he being paid $1,000 cash for the interest
of his children. But this has now been upset by
the refusal Of Mrs. Dudley, acting by advice OF
counsel, to Pay the sI0OOO. SO the matter goes
to the Courts, where the life Of the old lady and
the estate may both be exhausted.

Cass' Explanatory Letter.
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
WASHINGTON. lime I6


SIN: In answer to your letter of the 9Th inst, I
have to inform You that the brief letter from this
Department, TO which you refer, dated the 7th of
May last and addressed to Felix lie Clerc was in re-
ply to an application for information, and was prin-
cipaly intended 10 recommend caution to our natl-
razed fellow citzcns natives of France, in return
ing to that country the operations of the French
conscription law Were positively known, and might
bear iniurousy upon that class OF American cit-
liens Most of the continental European nations
have system of military organization by which
their citizens compelled 10 serve in the army by
conscrpton, and not rs in France, where the duty
is designated by lot draft In Prussia every per-
son is required to take his turn as asoder.
The condition of American naturalizcd citizens
returning TO their native country, where the system
of compulsory service prevails and who had left
before such service has consequently been the sub
ject of discussion with some Of the European pow
crS. Quite recently it has risen between the United
States and Prussia and the Representative of this
country, at the Court of Berlin, has brought the
matter TO the attention Of the Prussan Government
In the instructions sent him. May II, 1859, it was
explicitly stated that this Government opposed the
doctrine of perpetual allegiance, and maintains the
right of expatriation and the right to form new po-
litical ties elsewhere. Upon this subject it is OBJ
served, that in this age of the world the idea of
controlling the citizen in the choice of a home, and
binding them by mere political theory, TO nhabit
for his liie-tme, country which he desires to
leave canhardly he entertained by any Government
The United States, therefore maintains the PROPOSE
ton that naturalized citizens returning to the coun-
try of their birth, are not liable to any duties or
penalties, except such rs were in existence at the
period of their emgraton.
If, at that time, they were in the army, or actu-
ally called INTO it, such emigration and natunliza-
tion do not exempt them from the legal penalty
which they incurred by their desertion But this
penalty may be enforced against them whenever
they shall voluntarily place themselves within the
local jurisdiction of their native country, and shall
be proceeded against according TO law But when
personal liabilities exist against them at the pc
riod Of their emigration the law of nations in the
opinion of this government, gives no right to any
country to interfere with naturalzed American cti-
zens, and the attempt to do so would be considered
an act unjust in ITSELF and unfriendy towards u.s.
Jurisdiction cannot of course arise in the of the
naturalized citizen who remains in the United
States. 1t is only when he voluntarily returns to
his native country that its local laws can be enfor-
ced against him.
