Iho special correspondent of the London Herald In Ber
lin writes, under date of the 24th of June, to say that
Napoleon's policy towards Poland was more and more
embarrassing to tbe great German Powors ? Austria and
Prussia? every day. Should Austria sido with Russia In
a war she will have to endure all the consequences of tho
war, as well us lose forever all hope of enjoying any dy
nastic p wer on or near the throne prospective in Mexico.
If Prussia ally herself with Russia she will be Isolated
from Kngiand.and France may push an army corps across

government of France, and also whether any copy of tbe
judgment delivered by the Amertoan prize oourts bad
been received, and whether the proceedings of these
courts were being watched
Karl HrsHXLL ? I will drat answer the question of my
noble friend whether any report of proceedings of tbe
prize courts of tbe United States, especially with re
ference to tbe case of the Dolpbtn, has been received at
the foreign Office. In answer to that question I have to
state that what appears to be an authentic report of tne
judgment in the case of the Dolphin was received at the
Foreign Office last evening. I should think It right, oer
talnly, that all these cases should be watobed I And tbe
doctrines relied upon In that judgment are those laid
down by Sir W. Grant and Lord Stowell. Whether
these doctrines are rightly applied to the circumstances
of this particular case is anotber question, and one
upon which I offer no opinion. I shall not re-enter upon
a discussion which we bad upon a former evening, but I
Bill! think that tbe opinions held upon International taw
by my noble friend are not in accordance with the high
authorities upon the subject. As to tbe second question,
whether any communication has been made to tbe gov
ernment of this country by the government of the Empe
ror of the Fronch, prapnting or suggesting a recognition of
the Southern Statu , I have to say that no such communica
tion hat leen received. Upon the general lubj'd of recogni
tion, I do not think the circumstances are mwh altered
since my nnble friend Lord Stratheden brought forward
his motion in this House, and I entertain the some opin
ions which I then expressed.

THB RULING Or THK CHIKF BARON ON THK FOREIGN
KNI.IHTMHVT ACT.
[Frnm the London Post (government organ), June 25.1
The trial which occupied the Court of Kxchequor during
the past three days Involved an Ibsuo the importance of
which U would be impnmble to overrate. Nominally, the
point loft for the decision of the jury was whether the
Crown or a firm of Liverpool merchants were the right
ful owners of an unflnisbod ship: but, practically, the
matter for adjudication was whether the shipbuilders of
this country aro precluded from constructing ships which
may eventually be deroted to warlike purposes against a
statu with which we are at present at peace. On the ono
tide exists the obligations to preserve intact our commer
cial rights, and on the other those which make it
incumbent upon us to prevent our ports and dock
yards being made available for the equipping and
fitting out of ships or armaments for the pur
poses of aggression against a friendly Power.
Passing from the purely legal consideration of the
case, it is manifest that, on grounds of expediency, a ma
ritime nation like Great Britain, possessing commercial',
relations with every quarter or the globe, is bound faith
fully and strictly to-fulfll the duties appertaining to strict
neutrality. We are neutrals today; we may be bell I ge
rents to morrow ; and at we do to other t to we mutt expert to
b' drne by The Issue raised in the case of the Alexandra
was one consequently not less important In Its conso
quences to ourselves than to those more Immediately In
terested in the result. We have atabliihrd a precedent to
which, when we are at%war, neutral naTiont may tuecet- ful
ly appeal. It U thus that we accept tho law us laid down
by the Lord Chief Baron and as confirmed by tbe verdict
of the jury. The Judge Interpreted tbe particular
statute intended by the Legislature to prevent
the equipment of ships for the purpose! of aggression
against a friendly Power; and the Jury, applying the
principles thus enunciated to the raets disclosed in evi
dence, decided, without a moment's hesitation, that the
act had not been Infringed. In this verdict we entirely
ooncur.
? * ? America baa for upwards of hair a century had
a Foreign Enlistment act similar to onr own, and the de
cision* of American judges allbrd a key to Ita interpreta
tion. In a case brought on appeal before tbe Supreme
Court of the United States, that grsat jtfrlst, Mr. Justice
Story, laid It down that although by the terms of the
Foreign Enlistment act the subjects of a neutral State
were precluded from equipping or arming vessels
for the purpose of aggression against a Mendly
Power, they were not precluded from equipping
and arming them for tbe purposes of sale to any
one, belligerent or otherwise, who chose to purchase
them. In other wordt, a neutral may equip a 'hip of-whr I
jutt at he may conetruet a ceumon, if he fktendt not to ute
or hate it uteti apaintl a friendly Power, tut merely to tell
it Ad'ifttno thit ruling, Ute Chler Bftro* laid It down
that a British subject might equip a sbf^of war with a
view lo telling it to either belligerent without infringing the
provitiont of the Foreifn Fnlietment act. Imleed, In the
course of tbe trial the learned Judge asked the Attorney
General whether such a course woeld not be l?Mtl, and
as the latter declined to reply, H may 0* taken that K
Is so. Tbe Chief Baron went no far as to say that tbe
object or tbe Foreign Enlistment act could not have been
tbe protection of belligerents, for other wtso the exporta
tion or oontrabrand of war would equally have been pro
hibited, and that consequently English shipbuilders had as
much right to sell armed ships to either belligerent as
they had to sell gunpowner or cannon, or other
munitions of war. In the case, however, before tbe
Court It did not become necessary to apply these princl
pies In their fullest signification. The Chier Baron left H
to the jnry whether the Alexandra was '-equipped, arm
ed, furnished or fitted oat," or whether it was the inten
tion of the defendants to "equip, arm, furnish or (It her
out" within her Majesty's dominion* for purposes of ag
gression against tbe government of the United States.
Tbe act doea not prohibit the ??building" of ships or auy
description; and as It was shown that she was not. at tbe
time or seizure, "equipped or armed.'' and there wsa
nothing to show that It was Intended that she should be
so equipred within ber Majesty's dominions, tbe defend
ants were entitled to a verdict. The Alabama was' fro
queriHy referred to In the course of tho trial, and it may
possibly illustrate the Interpretation which must he put
on the Foreign Enlistment act when we say that the Chief
Karen, In summing up, pointed out that in her case the
act was not infringed. She was built In an Eng
lish pert, but she was equipped and armed in
Portuguese waters, where of oourse the English
Crown possessed uo jurisdiction. It may be said that, ac
cording to this interpretation the Foreign Enlistment act
will prove a dead letter If the Chief Heron's views of
tbe object with which that act was framed? namely , not
to protect helllgcreuta, but lo prevent vesae's equipped
for the rival Powers In neighboring docks lighting whilst
still in our harbors or In our waters ? is correct, It will
not. If, on the other hand, Hs ob.iect was the protection
of the commerce or a friendly Power, it rerlstnly seems
(lo :-tay the le**t of it) that Its provisions Ac be very
rasliy evaded However," with consequences neither
Judges nc r Juries liave anything to do It Is, at all events,
a satisfaction to feel thai tbe I <ord Chief Baron has acted
In accordance with a high American *uthoritv in his in
terpretation of the law, and It Will be lmi??*tt)le for the
American government to question the soundness or bis
opinion without also impugning that or the greatest of

? ? ? Had the Foreign hnlialment act mentioned
rifles, gunpowder or shot and shell. Instead of ships of
war , we may be sure that the t onfederato* would have
spared no |>a<ns to intercept the consignments of Hlrm

wsa hardly requisite, for there seems to have bee a
little concealment No evidence was produced for
the defendants , beoaase they did not rely on their Igno
ranoe but on the character of tbe transaction, aa proved
by the wltaeaees for tbe Crown. It was on the latter that
the burden of proof lay, and the reaelt shows, sot that
onr courts are dlvpaeed to lavor Illegal privateering, bet

TUB ALL IKS PROPOSITIONS TO RUSSIA AND 0HAN019
or A WAR.
[From the London Timet, Jane 25 ]
Tbe alx propositions ror an accommodation between
Russia and Poland to which England baa made herself a
parly have oome upon us with all tbe abruptnesa of a
surprise. They were produced by Lord Parmerston to
the House of Commons witbont pressure, and apparently
from a wish to gratify the not unnatural curiosity of his
audience. We are ao little In the habit in this country of
being taken Into the oonfldenoe of the government daring
negotiations with foreign Power* that we feel some em
barrassment In availing ourselves of the liberty of crltl
clsm which Is thus offered. ? ? ? But, should
these overtures be reieotod, what* la our position?
We are acting in concert with Prance, but with
different views and different interests. We both wish
to 'save Poland, but there tbe agreement be
tween ua necessarily enda. Wa have no wish to re
conquer, or to see France reconquer, the frontier of the
Rhine; no desire to take advantage of the present weak
ness of Pruaaia. caused by the Infatuated folly of ber
king and his ministers: no wish to overthrow tbe l.alance
of European power by humbling or crippling Russia. We
have nothing to gain by war; wo have every reason to
wish for peace. There may, of course, be sometblsg
behind all this which would . If we knew It. remove the
difficulties we feel. We have been informed what our own
course is: we do not accurately know the coarse of France
or of Austria. Thil slate o f affairs appears tout full of
danger, but there may be means of escaping from It with
out war and without discredit, which we, with tbe im
perfect Information we possess, have failed to appro
head.
RUSSIAN CKUI8ERS AND INOLISH TRADERS.
[From the Moscow Gazette, June 10.]
All the commerce of Kngland is on the sea. Thirty
thousand merchant vessels convey on the ocean Kngllgh
property which Mr. Cob jen estimates at one hundred to
one hundred and twenty millions sterling. Tbe coarse
which these ships follow In tbe Atlantic, as well as on tbe
Indian Ocean and the Pacific, is so well defined, thanki
to the indica'itmi of Captain tfaurv. that it is like a high
road. That Power which, traversing these parts, should
seize English vessels appe irlng there wouM deal a terrible
blow at British commerce, and this la what our
sailors and vessels of war would be perfectly able t"
do in case of a war with England A vast field
for their activity would then be open to onr vessels with
out presenting any very great dangers. The space Is auch
that tbe pursuit of an enterprising cruiser would
be very difficult, and a good captain cotild destroy scores
o: cargoes without having to engage in combat. Daring
the war in the East, after the affair of Potropaulow
ski, an American merchant ship, on ita arrival at Shang
hai. announced that it had been stopped at sea by a Kus
slan frigate, and that it was only released in consequenco
of its American nationality being proved by tbe papera
onboard. Tbo rumor of this affair spread In the com
mercial world, and tho merchants In the Chinese ports
would only entrust their merchandise to American ves
sels. Hong Kong at once expected an attack from the
Kusslan fleet. Admiral Sir J. Stirling, commanding tbe
English uaval force In those regions, was unable to com
ply with all the demands for escort which were addressed
to him. The rumor wax, however, false; there was not
then a single Russian ship at sea. If a false report led to
I such a panic, what would b* the effect produced by twenty or
thirty cf our cruisers?

the Chamber yesterdav by M Sella, having declared that
he could not retract tbe word* "It I* false, moat false,"
which he uttered In replv to assertions of M. Hattazzl, a
meeting became Inevitable.
Yesterday morning, at eight o'clock, M Tbcchlo and
Oeneral Malenchinl, seconds chosen by M. Rattazzl, wait
ed upon M. MingbotH's friends, General Claldmi and
Prince ^Imonetta The latter, having the choice of arms,
derided tbat the duel 9bould be fought with cavalry
sabres. M. Rattan! , who had never bad nssbrs In his
hand In his life, took two fencing lesjons with that arm
In the oourse of the day. M. Mtnghetti was nearly aa on
skilled as hi* adversary.
At Ore o'clock this morning MM. Teoehlo and Molenchi
?I, l>r. Splfino, and M. Rattazzl went to Stualnigi, the
plaoe ebosen for the rencontre. They found MM. Claldlnl,
Slmonetta aad Mlngbetti already on the ground.
The two first parses produced no result. M. Rattazzl
seemed to tight wrth desperation, while M. Mlngbetti ap
peared mora anxious to defend himself than attack.
At the third assault M- Rattazzi was slightly wounded
In the right arm. a little below the shoulder.
Notwithstanding this wound be continued to fight, but

set at re* those continued objections raised against my
having discovered "tie source of the Nile'" Tw l<v hive
1 plodded through Africa to satisfy the public in regard
to the origin Of this great river, and in doing so
have determined that the Victoria lake is the groat
??reservoir" of the Nile, u Ms ill tturct * mnnatn
from the rUmdt. The Kit&ngule river is. doubtless,
a very considerable affluent to the lake, but I have i<een
th.it above the ferry where I crossed, It origlnatee not In
one lake, hut In a number of small ones, lying In valleys
separated one from the other by spurs of the Mountains
of the Mooa. A look at the map published by Mr. Stan
foru for the Royal Ceograpbical Society will show you
what I mean. Should anybody, after this notice, wish to

(Trom the imblln Freeman's Journal, June 9?.)
Mile. Antonletta Frtocl. who baa Jnst spreared in Lon

now in ber twenty fourth year. When she was only four
teen she frequented the (tmservatory of Mus in. In order
to aoquire the tlrst knowledge of the art: and afterwards
becoming acquainted wjth Mme Marcbesi, she began to
study singing under the direction of that ronownsd song
stress The rapid progress she made, and the taieit sbe
evinced, clearly showed that some day she would take a
high position In her art. She made her iMmI at Flea In

she was afterwards called, our readers mist know tbat

Is very hard to please. The brilliant (ureses sbe met
with there made her name known throughout Italy and
after having charmed by ber clever performances Lrvumo
and Florence, sbs was engaged to sing at Turin, and
at tha San fanrlo, Naples. Hbe passed from one triumph
to another, each public acknowledging her latent and the
more than extraordinary feeling (what Hie Italians call
irntimmto) that sbs put into ber * ting. After having
sung at Hologna and Lisbon, sbs was nugaged for tbs Im

Mr 9. ? Tht United Stain ?i. Ike Steam* Mp PderKof,
her Cargo, Jackie , dk.? la this case, the reading of evi
dence taken in prepara/oru) having closed, Mr. K. Dela
fleld Smith, the District Attorney, produced and oflhred In
evidence a circular letter from Bennett ft Wake, char
terers of the Peterhoff, addressed to shippers, whioh had
been attested In London, forwarded to Washington, and a
certified cepy sent here by the Secretary of State.
Counsel for the dlaimanu? Mr. A. F. Smith and Mr. L- 1
Sherwood? opposed the admission of the letter, on the
ground that It did not oomefproperljr before ths Court.
The District Attorney relied upen a similar owe? that of
the Romeo, 0th Robinson, 881. After argument the
Court received the paper, without passing upon Its legal
elTeot. It is ss follows: ?
Kq. 77 Coamiix, & 0., Loraoir. Wot. M. lMt.
Data Sib? We may state for (he guidance of any friend*
who may be desirous of ahipplng to Amerlaa that arrange

to the Rio Qrande about first week of December; that
cost of freight and Insurance goods can be paid at the

Fleming A Co., at Matamoroa. bare been secured. also those
01' -Mr. Red gate, Lloyd's agent, an expert In cotton, and who
bus been resident nearly forty years In Texan and Mexico;
that gentleman's eei vie s will be of great value to shippers
In re-pect to his local knowledge and InCuence, as also as
regard* acency of the lnlan-1 transit and landing and ship
in* of goods and cotton. Mr. Harding, of the linn of Menu *.
ardlng, I'ullalu & Co.. o: this city, baa been named, and
coiiM'nte l to ait as factor for the receiving of the proceed* In
cotton, and the equal distribution of same to the slui p rs ao
eordimt to \alue of resiiective shipments, and who will e licet
the ne essary insurance Kurther, a Mr Besbre. of the Con
federate States of America, hold* a contract from that gov
ernment wheieby he Is to receive 1> 0 per cent on Invoice
cost, payable In ootton at specie value, clear of all charges
of freight, .tc., for any goods he may deliver Into the Con -
federate State*, said contract having been authenticated by
Mr. Mason and othera He is willing to share sain*, sav to
the extent ol fifty per cent, with any houses who may feel
inclined to ship. Moreover, said parties are at liberty to
send out their own supercargoes, and If the goods can meet
with a better market snippers by our vessel may avail
themselves of said contract or not; but In the latter case
ther* will be no certainty of getting cotton baok. as the
wagon traffic cannot be properly carried on without the aid
of government support in shape of teamsters to attend to
cuttle, and which the Confederate government will supply
from the army to facilitate the inland transport or goods
and Uie bringing back of cotton for the contract. In the
event of peace or cessation of hostilities the Confederate
government by the contract bind Itself to receive good* that
aie shipped hut not delivered, and lor any order* not ship
ped ; but In course of same, ten per cent proper upon invoice
cost and charges. Any further information you mar require
we shall be bai py to give our best etloru to obtain from the
respective parties Interested. We remain, dear sir, vonrs,
truly, J AS. J. BKNNETT A WAKK.
Hufore counsel for the claimants opened their anru
ment the District Attorney, at the suggestion of the
Court, stated the points upon which he should rely in
asking fur the condemnation of the vessel and cargo ?
We claim In the first place that the real object of the
voyage of this vesaeliwas to supply the forces in rebellion
a.:altist the government of the United states with articles
essential to the continuance of hostilities against the gov
ernment; aud we cite the ca?e of the Commerces 1
When ton, p. 38. We claim that the vessel and all her
c:irgo must be conuemnedjupou th- principles applicable
to contraband of war. 1st There was contraband of
war on board, and we allege against the owner of the
ship privity to tbo contract. I refer to Hnlleck's Inter,
national Law, p. 872, sec. 5, and to the onset) there cited,
which aro very numerous. We do not claim that ali the
goods on board the vessel are contraband, of cource; but
we do claim tint there are no goods on board owned by
any person who Is not an owner of contraband artielos,
and, therefore, we say that the Innocent articles must
be coodemnud as well as toe contraband. I cite
the authorities which are stated at p. 673 of Halleck's
"International Law," sec. 8. We claim that the true d?s
tinatlon of this cargo was the section or the United States
in which the war is raging against the authority of the
government, and under that head we claim:? First. That
the evidence in the cause establishes that the ostensible
voyage to Matamoroe was false and simulated . and that
the evidence demonstrates that the true destination was
such blockaded port In the dlaailected section uf this
country as the vessel might succeed in entering. So
cond. That, even tbongh It be true that the vessel do
signed to go to Matamoro*. yet the true destination or the
cargo was Texas, and that the voyage to Matamoro* wax
a mere contrivance to do by Indirection what it was not
regarded as practicable to do directly; and I
maintain that ths circuity was rteorted to to
carry out Ue illegal attempt, and so far
frosn relieving the vesael from condemnation, it only ac
cumulates th* evidence of illegal Intent 1 refer to l>uer
on Insurance, vol. I., p. 630; the Commeroen, roPbeaton,
pp. 888-0; Wheaton's Klenents of InteBatHinafljtw. oh.
4. sec. 38. I maintain that such a voyage, even though
the destination be to a neutral port, carries with it all the
consequences of condemnation as legal prize of wsr, if it,
be true that the object of the enterprise m to carry con ?
traband to the enemy, no matter how clrcuitously ; that
th* circuity and indirection do not aid the claimants, but
on U>e contrary form cumulative evidence agaiusl then.
< ourt ? You do not take the ground that if the voyage
was really au honest voyage to terminate at any neutral
port, it is to be condemned)'
District Attorney? So, sir; ws admit that If th* de
sign and object of this enterprise was simply to carry a
cargo of goods for sale and final disposition in a neutral
port the voyage might be perfectly .ogai. even though the
market at Matamorns may be improved by the fact of
proximity to the enemy 's country . but we claim that the
"ourt is bound to look into the substance and e-ssncs of
th* whole transaction; and If th* direct trauslt ol these
foods through Mnamor s inioT-xas was in contvmplstlon
by those who undertook the voyage or regarded hy them,
and was in fnot necessary to the success of their enter
prise, aud te the gain which was ths object of their *n
Urprwe, It uoer not help them that they took th* good*
to a neutral port. 1 suppose we must admit that if the
goods were taken to a neutral port, there to
be sold and disposed of In the regular couise of
business; to retoaiu there a reasonable time, ao as to
enter Into the legitimate commons of that place, tbe y
could not be condemned Ihe line of demsr< ation is ex
veediiigly narrow, there is no doubt, but the r0urt will look
Into the essensr and substance of the whole transaction,
snd, I re) eat. If It was necessary to the success of this en
terprise If it was contemplated by tint** who projected
th* enterprise that these goods should go through Mala
moras into Texas, why then they must ha condemi ed
And we shall claim that these good* would uever have
been taken to Matamoras no such nak would have been
undertaken no eaterprise of tbi* magnitude would hav*
been pro ected at all with the idea that the*e goods
wer* to remain any substantial length of time In Matv
moras. because the uncertainly of the rabeUioo. tfee i act
Aat it is ciumbling to a fall? all these notorious fae** be
ing considered by men of the saga< Ity of these shippers,
would lorb d such an Idea.
Court ? bo you say that, suppose th*** goods wsr* to be
landed In a neutral port as the property of neutral owners,
you ean i ny n i re as to what the subsequent purjmse was*
District Attorney ? Perhaps the counsel for tne captors
(Mr. Upton) may claim, but I do not undertake to ci.nm ,
that there is any piotabilnm In the law of nations to a
legitimate trade to Matamoras I suppose that centrals
have s right to trade there Out I do claim that If matters
of puklic notoriety present the tart in such a way to the
Court that it must see these parties coriiemplatrd the
Immediate transit of these goods through Matamoras into
Texas, and that all the incentive to Hie enterprise was
founded upon the Idea that these goods were not intended
as legitimate trsde to Matamoras, but that that port was
to be an entrepot, and they were Intended for T*xss,
then they are so biect to condemnation. In other words ;
whsriss it I* true that goods cannot b* taken directly to
tbe enemy, even though th* port were not blockaded, and
If they were taken under lite circumstances I have sup
posed, they would be comlesined ? so they < annot
be taken by circuity or indirection The? >ouid
not take them to Matamorss, although they there took
their hands of! from the goods, and there left them to be
disposed of, if It was In contemplation of tboee who took
them to Matamoras that thsy wsrs to be sent by other
persons to Texss We say that constitutes s case of
carrying contraband of war to th* enemy. I refer to
Duer on Insurance, p. 678, see. 11. I Reads from the
authority, j
Ths Court will lock Mo the essence or the transaction .
snd It doss not matter whether a ship of war was at
Matamoras , with which the goods could he transferred to
ths (oof sder a t*s , or whether from the narrowness of th*
river, the proximity ef Brownsville snd the Onnfederats
forces, or the sass wMh which the goods coold be trans
ferred In lighten, the principle to be derived from this
aethorty , it sesm to me, Is clear, that If the goods were
take* is s neutral port with a view to thetr transhipment
to ths enemy's port, that Is Mifraad of ths helllgsrsnt
right. It certainly ? on principle, for there never was
an instance m ths history of maritlma warfare wbsrs
sa eoemv would heve been more esa*ntisiiy
asserted than by this very transaction it ths enterprise
had succeeded. We nlsim in respect te contraband of
war, that where it is attempted to redoes ths snemy by
famtns there I be doctrine sf contraband ef wsr is to bs
extended and enlarged And that principle applies
wherever there 18 s blockade, because tbe very ewence of
a blockade Is to deprtvs the eoemv of means sot only of
carry leg on Ihe war with shot and shell, but so to reduce
'them ss i hat they cannot carry it on st all. and that their
b<?tlle attitude may be reduced to the attitude of sup
pliants for the necessaries of life We claim the doc
trine of contraband of war. as tattled bv thaed indicated
eases sad slementary authorities, applie* hertV condemn
as contraliar.il of wsr sverytbing which can bs of any

abould take judicial am ice of the Incidents and circum

1'ialrict Attorney ? Undoubtedly tbe Onort will take
coguixance of the nature of thla war. TbU war M not oue
cuch as would be waged against a commercial country,
where the reduction of a few oil lea would end it B t here
tho reduction of Mobl'e, Charleston aad New Urieans does
not end tbe war with tbe confederate* It muat be
ended by tbe application of blockade ? by tbe strict en
forcemeat of tbe belligerent right of blookado, and tbe
right of exchidlDii frim tbern Such articles as are neoes
nary to their support Thuy must be reduced, and prob
ably cannot be without the enforcement of the blockade
and inhibition of all attempt* ol neutrals to carry contra
band of war to ibetrjaMialauGa. We claim that the property
of Mr. Rednate is in a predicament which calls for its
condemnation As the, Court la very well aware, the que*
tlon of the personal status of Mr. KedgaU Is not miterial
to tbe issue The question has do refersoce to Mr. Kad
gate himself, exoept to establish that he is a resident of
the enemy's country. We aay he la a resident of the
enemy's country. Then ail Inquiry as to htm ceases.
It d'es not matter whether he is loyal or disloyal; as soon
aa it lacatabliabed that he ia a resident, bis property ia
liable to condemnation ; and if there ia any reason why It
abould Oe restored to bim, that la a consideration t? be
