RRITISH PRECEDENTs.

The spBsm OF indignation which seized the
London press when ii heard Of the capture of the
Flo,ida might be alayed by citing some British
precedents. This will doubtless be the Office of
the able writer on international law who has been
enlightenipg the London Times over the signature
of "IIistor Gus" A correspondent of the New
York Ercn gPov. mentions the following British
preccdcnts:-
On the l4tli OF September 1908, the British
seventy -four gun ships Bcl!eiSie and BcNOB0 with
the trigste n laWlYs, detached from their
squadron for the search of the Cesar discovered
near Cape Henry, in the United States, the
seventy -four gun SHIP LRpetHel,', which was, next
TO the FoodroyG"t, the most disabled ship of NJ.
Willaumezs squadron. The commander Of the
French slip having no alternative but to bear up
towards the land, hlsted the French cOlOrs and
, ran himself on shore. Soon afterwards, the
heiampus fred her bgoGisiie az the French ship,
which lhereupOn hahled down her ensign and
pendant, when the boats OF the British ships took
possession of the koibstuet,, and after removing
the French prisoners, SCI fire 10 her.
The capture and destruction Of the ialpctUotr
was certainly Il breach Of neutrality but the
United States took very little notice Of i.
The ESStr frigatc, commanded by ID avid POr-
ter, the father Of the present gllldn- Admiral
Porter was attacked aud captured in the Bay Of
Valparaiso by two British shipsot-war, in the
war of 1872.
The Gencal .irmsrong, priyatesr, wa attacked
in the Bay OF Iayai by the bpSty OF the British
fleet there. Captain Reid WHO commanded the
Aymsi,Oag, after gallant defense and ropusing
the enCmyH scut,lcl bis yesSe she was after
wards set on fire by the English. This was in
September, 1914.
10 these may ue added The destruction Of the
steamer CaiOliRe in the waters Of the United
States, by an armed force lifted out in the Pro-
vince of Upper CanadG-au atilir which is an apt
parallel for the seizure OF the Florida.
