The question referred by the case to
the court was, Whether the plaintiff was
entitled to recover for a total le>s ?
Bii'wle and Lewis argued fur the defend-
ants, 1st, that the stopping of the Manhattan
on the 10th February, by the Busy William,
and ordering her to Bermuda, did not con-
stitute a loss so as to authorise an abandon-
ment. It was not a capture by an eneni3r,
but merely a stopping on the high seas of a
neutral by a belligerent for search ; and a

" Although the faithful relations which
have incessantly existedbttween the sublime
Porte and the court of England could not
have given rise to any coolness between them;
and though the sublime Porte, justly offend-
ed at the strange propositions which the
English minister made a fVw days ago in a
conferenc ¦' ; it has contented itself in reply-
ing: that "• it was actually at war with Rus-
sia and at peace with En-gland ;" at the mo-
ment when we could Saner .ourselves that
after the rtiost mature reflections the, Eng-
lish envoy would desist from, pretensions so
derogatory to the dignity of nations and the
honor of powers; that envoy has, on the
contrary, renewed them in a note to which
is demanded a written answer ; and after-
Wtirdsj without anuctmch'g his departure,
and without any knowi cause, he embarked
suddenly with his suit and some of the
merchants of his nation in an English-frigate
whicn was in port, and which, cutting her
ca'bles, sailed at midnight. It was only in
a note he left, to be given after his depar-
ture to the- sublimj Porte, that, he declares
as the principal'cause Of hi?discontent, the
refusal of a passport for a courier which he
wished to send to the Dardanelles. As he
had not received on that occasion a negative
answer, this supposed refusal could not have
been the motive for his departure ; and it is
well known that neither he nor any other
English subject, have had cause to complain
of any act by which their safety could be
endangered.
Though this conduct would have suffici-
ently Kutijorised the sublime Porte to act in
a manner suitable to the provocation of the

NORFOLK, May 21.
Arrived, schr. Huldah & Anna, Fitzhngh,
4 days from New-York ; schr. Experiment,
Sebrey, 20 days from Tobago ; schr. Three
Friends, Fisher, 3 days from Philadelphia ;

Burnt Anchor, Rising, Christiana ; Cyrus,

Mr. Hrllins, of Baltimore, who arrived
here on Tuesday, gives us the following
account of the friendly conduct of the Bri-
tish armed vessels off our Capes :
That he was passenger on board the schr.
Messenger, belonging to Mr. Thomas Tenant,
cf R Itimare, from which place she sailed
on Thursday last bound to Barcelona, loaded
with sugars on the owner's account, and that
on leaving the Capes of Virginia, was chas-
ed by the British frigate Melampus, captain
Hawker, boarded in sight of land, and after
taking Mr. Hollins, the mates, and all the
hands before the mast on board the frigate,
without further ceremony, put a prize-mas-
ter and hands on board, and send her for
Halifax.
A few days before, the same frigate cap-
tured off the Capes, a Baltimore brig from
the East-Indies, bound to Baltimore, and
sent her to Bermuda under the kind protec-
tion of the Bermuda sloop of war. Mr. II.
adds, *hat he knows the above captured ves-
sels and their cargoes to be American pro-
perty. They would give no cause for their
unwarrantable proceedings, but say, *•"*
sending in for further examination. As the
abandonment was made on the information
of this taking only, without any knowledge
of the subsequent proceedings : as it was
made for this cause only,—as this cause
did not authorise it,—and as no other aban-
donment has been since made, the subsequent
transactions cannot relate back so as to give
the plaintiffs a right against the under-
writers.
2. The mere institution of judicial pro-
ceedings against a neutral vessel, unless fol-
lowed by condemnation, gave no right to
abandon.
3. That though after the vessel was ac-
quitted on the 20th April, an appeal was
entered as to the cargo, yet by the entry of
security on 8th May, the vessel was virtu-
ally restored to the owners, and in perfect
safety ; and was known so to be by the
owners. As therefore, no loss existed at
the time of the action brought, the plain-
tiffs could not recover ; for they argued that
the state of tne loss at that time was the
rule.
4. That though not before action brought,
yet as before plea pleaded, the vessel had
arrived in safety at the port of her destina-
tion ; had performed her voyage ; and had 1
earned her freight ; the plaintiffs had no' I
right to recover.
Ingersoll, Hopkinson if Tilghmzn for the
plaintiff argued : ist. That the capture of
the Manhattan by the Busy William was
not an exercise of the knowledged right of
search ; but a capture as prize. Her crew
was taken oat -/British pmcers and seamen
put onboard ; she was sent to Bermuda and
libelled aS prize. The plaintiff was there-
fore authorized to abandon on the 2d March.
2. The state of the loss at the time of
the abandonment is to d#cide the right of
recovery. By the abandonment, the pro-

mily were, in consequence, thrown into pri-
son, and James's wife went into mourning
for lier murdered husband. On the 29t!i of
September, while the family was in confine-
ment, a letter was received from James by
a friend at Vaigouffrey, which stated that
he was in p;ood health, but had been obliged
to leave his residence. This letter, how :v«r,
was supposed to be a fabrication, to save the
family, and they were brought to tii.tl va
bloody shirt was even produced, which had
since been found on the mountain, and eve-
ry thing seemed so strong-against the fami-
ly, that they were on the eve of condemna-
tion ! While the examinations were going
on, a man rushed into court in a paroxysm
of despair declared that he was the identi-
cal person, supposed to have been murdered,
and demanded the release of his father and
brothers. The magistrates, overcome with
surprise, sent for his wife, who flew into
the arms of her husband and every doubt, was
decided. The father and his two sons were
instantly acquitted ; but their grief, occa-
sioned by the charge, had afflicted them
with a serious illness. The interview was
so affecting, that the whole of the specta-
tors burst into tears. Thus a family, which
was despised by all the neighborhood, ,vas
suddenly restored to honor ; a wife found
her husband ; a daughter, whose marriage
had been broken off, through the accusa-
tion, was united to her lover. In short, six

those principles of
proper to depart from
equity by which it has been constantly ani
mated ; and in the firm persuasion that the
court of England is, on its part, incapable
of conducting itself in a manner contrary
to the rules of justice, has given to the care
of Hubsch, Danish charge d'affaires, and
attorney for the said British minister, all the
effects and moveables belonging to him and
to the persons in his suit ; and besides, his
highness, in granting his beneiicient protec-
tion to the families and to the English indi-
viduals who remain in this country, has
given precise orders that they may be in
safety throughout the whole Ottoman em-
pire. He has also ordered the officers of
the regency to cause the vessels -and;proper-
ties of the English subjects to be respected,
and to leave them as theyr are until further
orders.
The sublime Pcrte has caused the present
official note to be drtiwn up as a new proof
of the moderation and justice which have
always directed its conduct, and has caused
it to be transmitted to all the ministers of
friendly powers, that they may communicate
the same to their respective courts.

perty is divested >m the insured and vested
in the ensurer, and a subsequent order of
restoration restores it not to the former ow-
ner, but to the underwriters, as therefore
there was a loss at the time of the abandon-
ment the plaintiff may recover.
Marshall, (hi'if Justice, delivered the
opinion of the court. After stating the
case he proceeded in substance as fellows.
1. Had the ensured a right to abandon
when the offer was made ?
2. Have any circumstances since occurred
to affect their right I
To give a right to abandon their must have
existed ato'al loss by one of the perils en-
sured against, either real and absoiute'or le-
gal and technical. A capture by one belige-
rent fromanother constitutes a technical to-
tal loss, and gives an immediate right to a-
bandon, though the property may afterwards
be restored. So too of an embargo or deten-
tion by a foreign friendly power. On gene-
I ral principles and on analogy their is no dif-
ference between the capture by a belligerent
from a b, iligerent and from a neutral. In
botli it is made with a design to deprive the
owner of his property. A distinction has
not been taken in any adjudged case in
England'and the best general writers ar-
range them in the same class. \The learn-
ed, judge then went through an examinati-
on of the English authorities and cuses and
concluded the first point as follows.~] It is,
therefore the unanimous opinion of the court,
that where, as in this case, there is a
complete taking at sea by a belligerent who
has taken full possession of the vessel as
ize and continues that possession to the
of the abandonment, there exists in
restored from misery to happi-
ness by an act of Providence. It was soon
afterwards proved, that the corpse was that
of a traveller who had been overwhelmed
by an avalanche.
