Free ships Make Free Goods.

WAsHINGTsN, April 27.-In the treaty
between the United States and Russia in
1854, the two parties recognized as per-
manent and immutsble the principles
that free ships make free goods, that is to
say: That effects or goods belonging to
subjects or citizens of power Orsts,e at
war are free from capture and confsca-
ton, when found on board of neutral
vessels, with the exception of
articles contrabsDd OF war, and
that the property of neutrals
on board an enemies vessel is not SUBJ
ject to contscstion unless the same be con-
traband of war. They engage to apply
these principles to the commerce and
navigation Of all such powers and states
as shall consent to adopt then on their
part as permanent and immutsble. The
last treaty between the United States
and the Ottoman Empire, negotiated in
1862, contains no such declared princi-
oles.
