¦ FROM A LATE BERMUDA PAPER. A Gentleman of tiw bar, has Favoured *as with the following; note of a decision,"in the Prize Court of Vice Admiralty : 10th July, 1807. The RosANHA, Mull, Master. This was a schooner, (laden with a car- lo of dry goods and various other articles, . other with a considerable quantity of ir >n in bars,) which, in the prosecution of a voyage from Raltitn re to Laguira ran on tic rocks off the nest end of these Islands, and was afterwards brought into port.— Smie time afterwards, it heing discovered of wh t her cargo consisted, both vessel& cargo were seized by < rderof his excellency t'tp g vernor, and proceeded against in thi court. A claim »»as given for John D Hi- ndi of Baltimme, a citizen of the Ulrited S ares of America, as the proprietor of both vessel and cargo. Tit? single ground taken in support of the seizure ' as that the vessel was engage'1 in carrying articles contraband cl war, tr the colon) of the enemy After the hearing, his honor the judge deferred the bar iron, which constituted a part -f the cargo, to the ordinance store keeper", and the master builder of the king'- naval yard, to report their opinion upon its quality, and the purposes for which it was particularly calculated. Their certificate purported, that the iron, from its qnjlity & the dimensions, and number of the bars ¦was in their pinion calculated, and proba- bly destined, for hostile purposes. This report >vas excepted to, on the part of the claimant, and the except! ns argued ; and this day the court gave the following judgment. The question I have to decide in this ease is, whether 30 tons of iron in 1318 bars, from 3-4 of an inch to one inch and a quarter square, going from the United States to the Carracas. in an American ves- sel be contraband ? Jshall first consider the authorities. Gro- rious divides the articles of neutral trade in to three classes, one ¦ f them immediately useful in war ; one of them of no use at all: and one of a doubtful or double nature : As to the fi'St ; he is clear, that whoever, supplies them becomes an enemy himself With the second, we have nothing to do. But the third has been the subject of in- finite discussion. Amongst those things which are of a doubtful, nature and are useful both in peac and war, he enumerates as examples 4> Naves, et quse Navibus adsint." His grand rule however is, that in judg- ing of articles of a double or doubtful na ttire, we must be guided by the state of the ¦war. ' Distin ;uendus belli status.' But he makes no enumeration of the ar- ticles. The necessity of the case will, ac- cording to his opinion, justify the intercept- ing any supplies whatever to the enemy, ii the state of the war be such as to make them of consequence to our defence. ' Subonere »e stituionis, nisi alia causa accedat," Byi.ker^horck condemns those things which are adapted to the purposes of at ; nor does it make any difference accoiding to Win., whether ,r n t they 111ay.be otherwise useful. ETevrejeets the distinction of Gr.oti eus, c nctrning double or d uhtful naune. as leading toendless controversy ; and pt - pounces to be contraband ad things whicn serve the purposes of war ; sive instrumen- ta belliea .-.int. sive materia, perse belio apta ; but n t, •' materia, ex qua quid belloaptari p ssit." A nice dist'iueti n to -draw.; particularly as Bynkersh ttk at- tempts not to assist us, by any enunierati en. Heineccius and Zoueh hold, that all ma- terials, which can he converted into instru- ments of w ar may be justly prohibited. Valtel speakes more oiffusely ; his words are these ; '- whenever I am at war -with a Elation, both my satety and welfare prompt me to deprive it as far as possible, of every thing which may enable it to hurt or resist me. Here the law of necessity shews its force. If this law warrant me on occasion to seize * hat belongs to an ther, shall it not likewise warrant me, to stop everything relative to war, which neutral nations are carrying to my enemy ; even if I should by taking such measures, render all these neu tral nations my enemies. I had better run the. hazard than suffer him who is actually at war with me, to be thus freely supplied, t) the great increase of his po er. It is therefore very proper and very suitable to the law of nati ns. which disapprove of multiplying the causes of war ; not to eon- s'der these seizures of the g»ods of neutral nations, as acts of hostility." " Commodities particularly used in war and the importation of which to an enemy, is prohibited are called contraband goods. Such are arms military & naval stores, tim- ber, horses, and even provisions, in certain junctures, when there are hopes of reducing the enemy by famine- Here again we find the rule of Grotius adopted. Distinguefi- dus belli status." " A natr n" (continues Vattel) " that •Without any other motive, than the pros- pect of gain, it employed in strengthening my enemy, without regarding ho*> far I may suffer, is certainly tar from being my friend, and gives me a right to consider and treat it, as an associate ¦ f my enemy." Such are the sentiments of Vattel, the greatest champion for neutral right, of all the regular Jurisprudents, of the last and preceding century. I use the term regular ; for it would be lost time to consider the wild the ties of some later writers ; to controvert the ab- surd opinion, < i Habuer ; to reconcile the •Mitradictipns of Schlegei, or even to no- tice the vile correspondence of tire T*st»«ri Minister Genet. We come now to consider, under -what head iron is to be ranked. Iron, wrought into, domestic utensils, is clearly innocent ; wrought into instruments of war clearly contraband : but here we have it in the bar, capable of being worked into the most opposite forms ; like hemp which may be wove into sacks for grain, or sails for ships ; which may be spun into "ommon twine, or twisted into cables for ¦slppsof war. Stilt, however, iron is " ma- teria, per se, hello apta" as also " materia, exqua quid belle apta possit." It has also turn called by very hr*h authority, " (luasi contraband." TCar iron then, being of such doubtful and ambiguous use, the quality and dimensions of the bars, and the particular state of the port of destination, afford the criterion to enable us to determine on the legality or il- legality of transporting it to the enemy : 'for whether as the native produce of the country which exports, it would be entitled to any further favor or not, is of no mo- ment here, as it is not pretended to be A- tmerican iron ) The first point I referred to the master. builder and ordnance storekeeper ; and there cm be no doubt from their certificate, but this iron may be fairly called a naval and military store. Now, that iron when so formed, is to be considered as contraband, may be clearly in- t'-rred, from the case of the Regende Jacob, 1st Robinson ; otherwise, what reasouconld there he, for sending the matter to the in- spection of the officers of the king's yards ? The United States themselves'seem aware, that uuwrcught iron may be, in some cases, considered contraband, and therefore except- ed it in their treaty with Great-Britain, which treaty would undoubtedly protect the pre- sent cargo, were it in force. But a treaty is conclusive to the parties contracting only so long as it continues in force, and no longer; nor can a treaty be- tween any two nations affect a third, for na- tions are only to be governed by what is es- tablished by general law, unless where they agree to the contrary. On the second point, finely, the particular state of the port op destination, it is no secret that the (arr c. cas are menaced from many quarters. Not mly the fort.es of Gret Britain are ready to attack this colony, but a formidable ex pedition not long; ago sailed from the port of New-York, for the purpose of freeing the inhabitants from the Spanish government ; hat this expedition did not meet with sue cess we know well, but whether or not the object of it is altogether abandoned, is more than I can say. At any rate, the executive of the colony must or outrht to be very orach on the ab-rt, and I doubt not, but eve- . y exertion is now making there, to put the place in a state of complete dwfence, both by sea and land. Whether ships of war are bud; there, I am not informed, but I sup pese that they may be armed and fitted, o' at least repaired and refitted there. What then is th - highly firobablc destination of this iron, nr.t assoi ted, but all of the same descrip ikn, so far exceeding in quantity what seem necessary for plantaiion purposes, and the n ariiig of the cocoa nut ? Why, most sure. ly the military and naval use : and if so, is t -ot subject to confiscation ' clearly it is. This was the distinction of sir Wm. Scott. in the Jonge Ivlarfraretta. And if cheeses, under such circumstances, could be adjudged contraband, iron, which has ever been ac- counted one of the chief sinews of war, must assuredly be so. One remark I shall not omit ; which is, that though the claimant had sufficient time, between the production ot the certificate and the last hearing, to file any affidavits he might think proper, either respecting the quality of the iron, the purposes for which it was particularly adapted, or likely to be applied, or the actual state of the port at which it was to be delivered ; he has alto- gether neglected to do so ; a:.d I must im- pute this neglect to his having nothing sa- tisfactory to alledge, and not to any disre- gard to his own interests. I reject the claim for this vessel and cargo, belonging to the same proprietor; and I reserve the question, to whom they are to be condemned. ¦ ??.>--;.«.?' UHH15E" BY THIS DAY'S MAILS. LONDONTAugust 1—8. A vast quantity 0! those destructive en- gines, the newly-invented rockets, are on board the ships engaged in the expedition. Government has offered increased prices for a greater number of transports. Sheathed snips for 6 months, at a guinea per ton ; and single bottoms for 3 months, at 2!. per month. There are at present upwards of 100.00© tons of transports in the ser- vice, at an txpence of nearly I20,oool. per month. The Spanish troops appear to have beha- ve I in the most dastardly manner in the lafe affairs in Pomerania. A particular ser- vice was allotted to them during the retreat of the Swedes, but they became panic-struck and gave way, in consequence of which two regiments of Bavarian horse and one regi- ment of Dutch infantry were cut to pieces. The French are making gieat naval and military preparations at Antwerp, Flushing, Osteiid, and along that coast, for the iava- sion. of England. Baron Hardenberg has, at the desire of Bonaparte, been dismissed from the Prus- sian mmiffry, and $*e portfolio at trie for- eiVm department has been entrusted to c unt Vjon rler Goltz. a soldier, hitherto unknown td the diplomatic world. ... Count Stutterbe-m, the Austrian ambas. s.idor to Bonao-i'te. arrived at Tilsit on the Qih, and has had Several Conferences with Talleyrand, hut his mission is stated t have totally failed of its object, the conduct of France towards Austria having been mate- rially altered by the treaties of Tilsit. For several days1 count Stulterbeim remained in a state of seclusion, waiting fresh instruc- tions from his cabinet. Policies have been opened at Vienna that the present continental peace will not last 8 months. When the new allied sovereigns rode out top-ether at Tilsit, they always observed the fo'lo.vir.sr order. The emperor Napoleon rode in the middle, the emperor Alexander on his right, and the king of Prussia on his left. About half past 9 in the morning they returned, and the emperor Napoleon was escorted to his residence. In these ex- cursions the princes Constantine and Mu- rat always accompanied their sovereigns. The minister of state at the Hague, on the 16th nit. gave n grand dinner to the dif- ferent heads of his departments, to comme- morate the battle of Friedland. About x 10 persons set down to one table, and at the conclusion when the toasts were drank, earh was accompanied by a discharge of 21 cannon which tlire • thec'ty into great con- sternat-on. as it was imagined the English had effected a landing1, the transports hav- ing been seen off the coasts 1 days before. A spacious Nunnery at Antwerp in wh'ch were eighty ladies, has been seized on f r the purpose of converting it into bar- racks ; it will ho'd .]000 men. Monteviedo.—Cantain Kilwick, com- manding his majesty's frigate Howe, has ar- rived at Sheemess from the river Plata. He brought with him the prize ship Diana, built at Boston, in America, which had been sold to a Spanish merchant, a sh rt time prior to the capture of Monteviedo by the British, and Was intended .is a privateer against the English. The Diana is an un- common fine vessel, sails extremely well, and is in excellent condition She brings home to the prize agents, hides, copper, tallo - Peruvian liai'k furs, horns, ostrich feathers, Vigonia wool, ebony, Spanish wool, goats, skins, deer skins, &c. &c. to be sold for the benefit of the captors. The value of this ship amounts to upwards of 40000I. The Speak, als 1 a ei de-vant American ship, which had been sold to the Spaniards about twelve months ago, and priz" to the gallant admiral Stirling, and the B'iM-h forces at Monteviedo, parted from the Howe a short tine a->o ; she may be daily expected, being under the charge of an agent of transp ns, and lieutenant of the navy. The Speak is a New-York ship, about ^00 tons, extremely well found, and al- most new. Her cargo is c msigned also to the navy and army priz" agents for Monte- viedo, and is falued at 30,000!.
