A decision has lately taken pla^ in the courts of New Orleans, involving an impor tant principle, of such general interest that we thought our readers would be glad to peruselhe opinion of the court in the case; and* therefore have copied it in tins day’s pa per. The principle established by it is the right cf aliens to inherit real property in the state of Louisiana. If this has not been considered law heretofore, it i*» certainly contistent with the plainest principles of justice.—^id. REPORT OF tHE CASE, AT N. ORLEANS, Phillips vs. Rogers and others. 3VPOMRXT or THE COCHT. - NTarVm, J. delivered the opinion of the court. The only question for the decision of the court is, whether an alien may inherit real estate in Louisiana. ^ it is first necessary to inquire whether he may hold real estate. The defendant’s counsel contends he may not. He relies oh ^*26, 5, 6, «. 2, id. 59,77. 4, to shew that aliens could not at Rome; but this shews that they Could not take by will. Aon habet testamenli Jactionem activam vcl passlvam, 2. He next endeavors to shew that the droit d*aubaine prevails in.Spain. In this! he docs not appear to have succeeded: but, if he had, it would oniy shew that an alien may not transfer property by will or suc cession. 3. The Spanish statutes are next relied on, to shew that the sale, gift, or aliena tion, of cities, towns, castles, lands, 01* here ditaments, heredamientosy to ar» alien, is prohibited. The plaintiff’s counsel contends, that the prohibition is confined to estate^, to which some jurisdiction, or civil or military pow er, is annexed, and produces, in favor of this position, a legislative construction of these lavs, which he finds in the Parti das and the jYeuva Rvcopilacion andtheLcycs dc las TndlaQ Ordenamicnto real and Au tos Accordudos. Naturalization may be obtained in Spain by an inheritance,-p^r hercdamienio—Parti- da 3 4, 4, 2: by the acquisition, by purchase or donation, of real property, bienes raiccs. Aeuva Rtcopilaeion. Arid foreigners are forbidden to trade to the Indies, unless they have acquired real property of four thou sand ducats, by purchase or inheritance. Reccpilaciou de las leycs de las Indi- Now* it is impossible to give effect to these laws, by which naturalizarion may be acquired by an alien, unless the construc tion of the former laws contended for by the plaintiff’s counsel, be adopted. It is u c ->t illusory to say that a foreigner may obtain naturalization by acquiring real estate, if he be not permitted to maKe the acquisi- tioji? If the laws, quoted bv the plaintiff’s coun sel, be attentively examined, the construc tion contended for will riot appear a forced onA. ‘We declare that we do not intend to give or grant to any king, or other for eign person, out of our kingdom, any city, neglects to come or send', for it, it shall be employed in pious uses. The Rcco/iilarion de la* leys de la* In- dia* has the following proviso: If he. who died left a writing, in form of ax testament, whichis to be proven by witnesses, as being a stranger, or fieregrina, the cognizance of :t belongs to the ordinary jndges. _ . Hence; wc conclude, that the maxim of the Roman law, which denied to aliens /ea- tamenti /actionem, aitivan: vc. /laseivatn, •docs not prevail in Spain. . ' Biit tho paintifTs counsel shews, that the viceroys of 'Spanish America and the audi ences, are directed, ‘in case persons, with suffic ient vouchers, claim the estates of pci - sons who died in the Indies, they may re ceive them, unless they be strangers; and that the kmg’sW'jects may not receive die estates of strangers/—Reco/iilacion de las leu» India*. 2, 32, 44. And this is present ed to us as proof that the principle prevails, at least in Spanish America. By the 26;h law of the same title, ‘testa mentary executors, heirs, and other retai ners of goods of deceased persons, who ac* cording to the will, are bound to deliver them, in whole or in part, to persons within these our kingdoms, are ordered, at the ex piration of one year, to send whatever they may h;vc collected, to the case dc ccr.traia- cion of Seville.’ . • , Not only aliens, but many of the Spanish subjects themselves, were excluded from the dominions of the king of Spain in America, and the property bf those who, contrary to the prohibition, introduced themselves there, was liable to confiscation. On the death of any individual in the American provinces whose property was not claimed there, it was deemed proper to submit the rights of alien <?laiman*s, or of Spanish claimants, not resident on the spot, and even the claims of the colonists to the estate of an alien, to a severe scrutiny in Europe. For this pur pose, if the claimant resided in Spain, the estate was to be sent to th" casa de contra- tucion in Seville, Where the scrutiny was to take place. But, if the deceased was an alien, then, if an alien claimed the estate, the cognizance of the claim was exclusively con fined to the council of the Indies.—Recofii- tacion de la* leys de las Indies, 9, 37; 24. The colonial authorities, even the vice roys and the audiences, were interdicted from in terfering in such cases. Wc see, therefore, nothing in these statutes that affect the pre sent case. By the 15th article of the instructions of gov. Grayso to the commandants, relating to the grant of lands, provides that, in case of death, he (the grantee,) may leave them (the premises,) to his lawful heir, if he lias any resident in the country; but, it he has no such heir in the country, they shall in no event go to an heir who is not in the country, unless such heir shall resolve to conic and live in it.—5. I.avis of the United Slates, 545. This condition, directed to attend the grant of land, is a strong presumption that there did not exist, in the knowledge of thc governor, any principle of law which forbade aliens from acquiring land. Nothing in the laws of Spain, or bf her colonies, appears to us to exclude aliens from the inheritance of real estate. Our own statute makes no'distinction in the nature of property, in order to regulate the succession.—Code Civil, 146, art. 9, 10. Nothing shews that aliens must be excluded from tiie acquisition of real or personal property, by will or succession, and are not capable to inherit either- AH free persons, even the minor, pupil, lunatic, and ideot, may transmit their es tate, ab intestat, and inherit from others.— Slaves alone are incapable of either.—Id. 158, art. 64. •" Nothing appears to us to exclude aliens from the inheritance of real property; and we think that the district judge erred in re fusing to the plaintiff the real property left by his brotlser. It is, therefore, ordered, adjudged, and noa Ayres, Chili, Venezuela, and Mexico, who are engaged in the same cause. 10th.

S. sioop of war Horne!, *v- mg at the navy-yard, a sailor while ascend ing tiic main rigging, to assist in sending down the top gallant yard, from his eager-1 ness to perform his duty, heightened by die pleasing reflection that his time had expired and he would shortly be enabled to meet his relativcsr.no friends—fell from the shrouds, struck his head upon the spars stowed in the chains of the ship, ar.d fell overboard. Mr. Mayo, first lieutenant, saw his perilous situation from the quarter deck, and not withstanding the severity of the weather, with that genuine spirit of benevolence and humanity which exists only in the hearts of the generous'and tiie .brave, plunged into the water to save liini—fo'Iowctl by a s i! r from the forecastle. They succeeded in getting hint oil board; but he was sosev^-e- ly injured he survived but a few moments. It is, indeed, a pleasing task, to record h J circumstance so highly commendable iufl Mr. Mayo—when, forgetting thedisparitv off rank, ana regardless of the coldness of the weather, he Saw in him only an unfortunate man and an old shipmate, whose life lie would preserve at any risk. By this act he lias added another to the many' proofs ready given of his love for his men and his value as an officer—while such feelings as these exist between the highest officer* and meanest seaman, where is the surprise at the subordination in otir navy?

The laws, which are offered as evidence of the legislative construction contended for are positive. It is further contended, that, if they do not show that the former ones are to hq thus construed, these arb to be im plied repealed. The legislature authorising aliens to ob tain naturalization, by the acqpistion of land ed property, must necessarily authorize such an acquisition, and effectually repeal the laws which forbade it.

Here it is proper to remark, that none of those positive laws cited affect, except bv a remote construction, the rig’# of acquiring real estate by inheritance. Any person may be instituted as heir, who is not prohibited from being so.—Par- tida, 6, 3.2. In the fourth law of the same title, per sons who are incapacitated from inheriting are enumerated, and aliens are not spoken court be annulled, avoided, and reversed: and il is ordered that Thomas Phillipps do recover the whole estate, real and personal, of Archibald Phillips, deceased, his brother; and, as Thomas Rogers was admitted as heir, the costs to be paid out of the succes sion.
