Raising the Blockade.

The Northern papers in much pepeIity as to the
effect Of breaking the blockade Charleston. They arr
discussing the question and many of them admit that
the authorities on International Law clear the
point that blockade once raised must be again mott
fed before /, is binding. zion" of the Baltimore Sun,
saws:
The national Law bearing this question is explicit.
According to Chancellor Kent, "When a blockade is
raised voluntarily or by superior force it puts end
10 il absolutely and if it be resumed neuras must be
charged with notice de Rovo and without reference to
the former state Of things before they be involved
in the guilt of q violation Of the blockade"
In the present cause, the United States authorities
may contradict the fact The neutral is bound only to
look at the matter of fact If he enter the port af
ter the bockadng squadron is removed, either vounta
y or nv the superior force of the enemy he is not an
swerable for a breach Of the blockade.
In the Charleston case if the fact of the removal Of
the blockade be admitted by Government, it will be
necessary show that accidental and not by the
enemys superior force 10 order to make neutral
ponsibe Il is clear however that if the fact existed
Il was not the result Of accident. This Government
must therefore give notice of a renewal Of the block
ade and meanwhile questions may arise as TO the re-
ponsibty of neurals under the law Of blockade for
breach Of the blockade Of Charleston. The Govern.
ment as learn has not yet received official adyices Of
this affair.
Ii ia verv possible that upon the first occasion OF
capture by the Federal blockading squadron OF neu
trail entering departing from the port OF Charleston
an immediate question will arise between US and foreign
powers Il is not improbable that the Coniederates
have this made the question by sending out neu-
trail vessel to be captured. Ion.

For some days past several rumors have reached US
