The question has been asked, "Has the
United States ever abandoned the right OF
privsteeringr'-
No. Mr. Marcy, secretary of state in 1856,
when most.civiiized states abolishedit it by the
declaration Of Paris, offered to have the
United States join in the whole declaration
If 1.-THE clause abOlishing privateering were
amended By adding that tho private prop
erty OF the subject or citizen Of beligereut
on the high seas should be exempted from
seizure by public armed vessels Of the other
belligerent, except il be contraband Of war"
This kind offer was declined without thanks.
Mr.. Msrcy's idea was that il privatsering
was abolished, tho property Of a nation
maintaining a small navy would be entirely
at the marcy Of a nation maintaining largo
navy. In 1861, when the Confederahes were
thinking Of issuing letters Of marque to
privateers, Secretary Seward offered To join
in the declaration, without the Marcy amend
meut; but the French and English govern
ments declined this kind offer also, except
on condition that it should not take effect as
against the Confederate States So as re-
CARDS privnteering the United States stands
with the late Bsrbary states. not Ia any very
snviable light
