into Paris, in consequence of the fever having
been reported at the Tuileries He will return
to Berlin directly after the review Of the troops

triumphant entry into Berlin, where he has
gone to inspect the second army. He will re-
turn on the 23d.
THE ARMIsIIcE.
The Monteur says that the prolongation OF
the armistice would iniure the position of the
Germans. Germany is resolved TO continue the
war if compensation for the past and guarantees
for the future are not given. Germany must
insist on guarantees, and especially those pro-
durable by the occupation of Paris. No food is
now allowed TO leave Versailles for Paris.
BERLIN, Feb. 19-The German terms of peace
have been presented in definite form and are
an ultimatum. The prolongation of the armis
tee was accorded in return for the surrender Of

not opposed to this question, but Turkey hest
tates to agree to it.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Feb 19.-The porte objects

The SAN DOMINGO CoMMIssIoN.-The news
of the safe arrival of the Tennessee will relieve
much anxiety. Her voyage was prosperous,
and there has been no occasion for the alarm
which some needless OF deliberately cruel sensa-
tionalist provoked and others have persstently
kept alive. The commissioners and their party
seem to have been favorably impressed with the
natural capabilities of the island end the merits
of SANTANA as a naval station. They were re-
ceived with apparent frankness by Baez, and
every facility seems to be offered to en-
able them to make thorough and i'm
partial examination. No evidence yet APP
pears of corrupt practices on the part Of
any officer or agent of our government, though
Fabens seems to have looked out for himself
pretty well. OF the disposition of the people
toward annexation, the practicability of making
them understand and submit to one system OF
taxation, the expense of maintaining govern
ment there, and the probability of war with
Hayti, there is yet no authentic information.
That the island is fertile, its scenery varied and
beautiful, its climate at this season pleasant and
healthfuI, and its people ignorant and shiftless,
no one has had any doubt.

against excuses that had existed during the
revolutionary struggle. II 10 incredible that
Il such conkscati0ns had not been c0ntem-
plated e possible and legitimate, they
or at least restricted. We arc therefore of
opinion that neither the act Of 1861 ner that
Ut 1862 IL invalid, because. other properly
than that Of public enemies il likely to be
cOn6scated. We do not understand the acts,
or either Of them, to be applicable to any
other than the property Of enemies. AN
the classes OF persons described in the fifth
and sixth sections Of the act Of 1862 were
enemies within the laws and usages of war.
It is further objected ON behalf Of the
plaintiff in error, that under the statute of
1862 the property Of all enemies was not
made liable to cOnfiscatiOn. From this it i
inferred, that whether persons were within
the law or not depended not ON their being
enemies, but ON certain overt criminal act3
described and defined by the law. The fact
asserted, namely, that all enemies were not
within the purview of the enactment we
may admit, but we dissent from tho infer
ence. Plainly it was competent for Con-
gress to determine how far it would exert
belligerent rights, and it is quite too large
u deduction from the fact that the property
only of certain classes Of enemies was di-
rected to be cOnfiscated, that it was not in
tended to cOntiscato the property of enemies
at all. If it be true that all the persons de-
scribed in the fifth, sixth and seventh sec
tiOns were enemies, as we have ondeavOred
to show they were it Gun not matter by
what name they were called, Or how they
were described. The express declaration Of
the seventh section was that thcir property
should be condemned "as enemies proper
ty," and become tho property Of the United
States, to be disposed of ~ the court should
decree, the proceeds being paid into the
treasury for the purposes described, to wit,
the support of the army. It was, therefore,
as enemies property, and not a. that Of Of
tenders against municipal law, that the
statute directed its confscation.
Upon the whole, then, We arc Of Opin-
ion the c0nfiscatiOn acts are not uncOnstitu-
tiOnal, and we discover no error in the pro-
ceedings in this case.
Decree affirmed.

spect Of all nations but their own" So, '.if
an Englishman assist the French, and tight
against the king Of Spain, our ally. this is
an adherence to the kings enemies"
Still less is it tue that the laws of ma
tions have defined who, In the case of q
civil war, are to be regarded and may be
treated as enemies. Clearly, however,
those must be considered such who, though
subjects or citizens Of the lawful govern
ment, are residents Of the territory under
the power or control of the party resisting
that government. Thus much may be gath
cred from the Prize cases. And why are
not all who act with that party9 Have
they not voluntarily subjected themselves
to that party-identified themselves with
it9 And is it not as important to take from
them the sinews Of war, their property, as
it is to confiscate the property of rebel enc
mics resident within the rebel territory2
1t is hard to conceive of any reason for con-
fiscating the property of one class that does
not equally justify confiscsting the property
of The other. We have already said that no
recognized usage Of nations excludes from
the category Of enemies those who act with
or aid OF abet and give comfort to enc.

distinction to be made. Every reason for
the allowance of a right to confiscate in
case of foreign wars exists in full force
when the war is domestic or civil. 1t il,
however, unnecessary to pursue this branch
of the subject further. In the Amy War
wick, 2Sprague, l22, and in the prize cases,
2 Black, it was decided that in the war of
the rebellion the United States sustained
the double character Of q belligerent and a
sovereign, and had the rights of both.

VS.. TOussat, Bin, 252; DObire VS.. Napier,
Scott, 225; Santissima Trinidad, Wheat,
BOG; United States vs. Palmer. 3 Wal, 635.
We come, then, directly to the question
whether the act of 1861, and the fifth, sixth
and seventh sections Of the act of 1862,
were an exercise of this war power, the
power OF confiscatiOn, or whether they
must be regarded as mere municipal regu-
lations for the punishment of crime. The
answer to this question must be found in
the nature Of the statutes and Of the pro.
ceedings directed under them. In Rose vs..
Himely, above cited, Chief Justice Mar.
shall, in delivering the opinion of the court,
said: "But admitting sovereign, who is
endeavOring to reduce his revolted subjects
to obedience, to possess both sovereign and
belligerent rights, and to be capable of
acting in either character, the manner in
W0lcQ ne acLS must determine the character
of the act. II, as a legislator, he publishes
law ordaining punishment for certain Of.
lenses, which law is to be applied by courts,
the nature of the law and Of the proceed
ings under it will decide whether it is an
exercise Of belligerent rights or exclusively
of his sovereign power; and whether the
court, in applying this law to particular
cases, acts. as q prize court or as court
enforcing municipal regulations"
Apply this test to the present case.
It Is hardly commended that the act of
1861 was enacted in virtue. of the sovereign
rights Of the government. It defined no
crime. 1t imposed no penalty. It declared
nothing unlawful. Il was aimed exclu-
ively ct the seizure and oonfiscation Of
property used, or Intended to be used,
70 aid, abet, or promote the rebellion, then
= war, or to maintain the war against
the government. It treated the prop
erty - the guilty subject. II. can

to maintain that, in proceeding to adjudicate
upon the stocks, there was recognition Of

the stocks had been seized.
The second assignment Of error is, that

is well made must DO determined by the
record That shows an information con-
