The question of the right of .belligerent
powers to interfere with the commerce
of neutral nations has been a much dis.
oussed one. Here are the laws bearing on
the subject: Subsequent to the Crimeap
war in 1856, six of the powers of Europe
met and drew up the set OF rules, known
as the Declaration of Paris. By these
rules privateer becomes pirate, the
neutral flag covers enemy's goods" and
neutral goods are not liable to capture
unaer the enemy's flag" in both cases
contraband OF war being excepted. I'M
aer these rules goods not contraband of
war could BIZ shipped from an
u ti port in foreign vessel, and
pc safe from seizure.
ne exceptional circumstances attend
United States is that the Declaration of
faris althou4h signed by ell the leading
naulons OF the world, WIS not signed by
ths United States, Spain, or Mexico.
Ing = ni0eo States was willing to sign
the declaration of Paris with the c1anse
prohibiting privateering struck out. but
Inls the oUnef nations would not agree to.
consequently Dotn spain and the United
States are at liberty to send ont rr;,,a
teers to prey on the others commerce RI

the Declaration of Paris, neither Snain

The United States has announced tina,
it will not authorize privateering, how
