[concluded.] It is not contended that this initiatory step in the process of naturalization invested him with all the civil rights of an American citizen • but it is sufficient for all the purposes of this case to show that he was clothed with an American nationality ; and in virtue thereof the Govern ment of the United States was authorized to extend to him its protection at home and abroad Mr. Hulsemann, as the undersigned believes, tails into a great error—an error fatal to some of his most important conclusions—by assuming that a nation can properly extend its protection only to native-born or naturalized citizens, i his is not the doctrine of international law, nor is the practice of nations circumscribed within such narrow limits. This law does not, as has been before remarked, complicate ques tions of this nature by respect for municipal codes. In relation to this subject it has clear and distinct rules of its own. it gives the na tional character ot the country not only to na tive-born and naturalized citizens, but to all residents in it who are there with or even with out an intention to become citizens, provided they have a domicil therein. Foreigners may, and often do, acquire a domicil in a country, even though they have entered it with the avowed intention not to become naturalized cit izens, but to return to their native land at some remote and uncertain period; and whenever they acquire a domicil international law at once impresses upon them the national character of the country of that d< micil. It is a maxim of international law that domicil confers a national character; it does not allow any one who has a domicil to decline the national character thus conterred; it forces it upon him, often very much against his will and to his great detriment. International law looks only to the national character in determining what country has the right to protect. If a person goes from this country abroad with the nationality of the United States, tt is law enjoins upon other na tions to respect him, in regard to protection, as an American citizen. It concedes to every country the right to protect any and all who may be clothed with its nationality. These are important principles in their bearings upon the questions presei.ted in Mr. Hulsemann’s note, and are too obvious to be contested; but, as they are opposed to some of the positions taken by Austria, the undersigned deems it respectful in such a case to sustain them by reference to authorities: The position is a clear one that, if a person goes into a foreign country and engages in trade there, be is, by the law of nations, to be consid ered a merchant of that country, and a subject for all civil purposes, whether that country be hos tile or neutral.”—l Kent Com , 75. Again: The same authority says that— “ In the law ol nations, as to Europe, the rule is that rnen take their national character from the general character of the country in which they reside.”—lbid, 78. It Koszta ever had a domicil in the United States, he was in virtue thereof invested with the nationality ot this country, and in this char acter continued as long as that domicil was re tained. There are cases in w hich i is difficult to settle the question of domicil; but that ol Koszta is not one of them. The mo3t approved definitions of a domicil are the following : k ' A residence at a particular place, accompa nied with positive o. presumptive proof of con tinuing there for an unlimited time.”— (i Bin ney s Reports, 349 ) If it sufficiently appear that the intention of removing was to make a permanent settlement for an indefinite time, the light ol domicil is acquired by s. residence of a few days”—(The Venus, 8 Conch, 279 ) “ Vattel has defined domicil to be a fixed lesi dence in any place, wirh an intention of always staying there. But this is not an accurate state ment. It would be more correct to say that that place is properly the domicil ol a person in which his habitation is fixed, without any pres ent intention of removing therefrom.”—(Story’s Con ot Laws, § 43.) ** A person who removes to a foreign country, settles him-elf there, and engages in the trade ot the country, furnishes by these acts such evidence of an intention peima- Hently to reside there as *o stamp him with thf national character of the State where be re sides”— (Tin. Venus.B Cranch,279 ) Ap >ly thes principles to the case under con sideration. nod the inevitabe result is tbai Kosz'a had a domicil in the United States. Hr came to and resided in this country one year anc eleven months. He came here with the inten tion of making it his future This inten tion was manifested in several ways, but mosl significantly by bis solemn declaration upon oath. There can be no better evidence of his design ot making the United States his future home than such a declaration ; and to this kind of evidence of the intention, the indispensable element of true domicil, civilians have always attached importance. (Phillimore, § 188) In the case ol Koszta we have ail that is required to prove he had a domicil in the United States— the concurrence of an actual residence with the intention to make this country his future home. The establishment of his domicil here invested him with the national character of this country, and with that character be acquired the right to claim protection from the United States, and they had t'.e right to extend it to him as long as that character continued. The next question is, was Koszta clothed with that character when he was kidnapped in the streets of Smyrna, and imprisoned on board of the Austrian brig-of-war Huszar? The na tional character acquired by residence remains as long as the domicil continues, and that con tinues not only as long as the domiciled person - continues in the country of his residence, but until he acquires a new domicil. The law as to the continuance and change of a domicil is clearly stated in the following quotation from an eminent jurist: “ However, in many cases actual residence is not indi pensable to retain a domicil after it is once acquired ; but it is. retained, animo tolo by the mere intention not to change it, or to adopt another, if, therefore, a person leaves his home for temporary purposes, but with an intention to return to it. this change of place is not in law a change of domicil. Thus, if a person should go on a voyage to sea, or to a foreign country, for health or for pleasure, or for business of a tempo porary nature, with an intention to return, such a transitory residence would not constitute a new domicil, or amount to an abandonment of the old one ; for it is not the mere act of inhabi tancy in a place which makes it the domicil, out it is the fact coupled with the intention of re maining there, animo manendi” —(Story’s Con. of Laws, 4 44.) * At the very last session of the Supreme Court of the United States a case came up for adjudica tion presenting a question as to the domicil of Gen. Kosciusco at the time of his death. The decision, which was concurred in by all the judges on the bench, fully sustains the correct ness of the foregoing propositions in regard to domicil, particularly the two most important in Koszta s case: first, that he acquired a domicil in the United States ; and, second, that he did not lose it by his absence in Turkey.—(l4 Howard’s .Reports S. C. V. S., 400 ) As to the national character, according to the law of nations, depends upon the domicil, it re mains as long as tbe domicil is retained, and is changed with it. Koszta was, therefore, vested with the nationality of an American citizen at Smyrna, it be, in contemplation of law, had a docnicil in the United States. Tne authorities already refei red to show that, to lose a domic,l when once obtained, the domiciled person must leave the country of his residence with the in tention to abandon that residence, and must ac quire a domicil in another. Both of these facts are necessary to affect a change of dornicil; but neither of them exists in Koszta’s case. The facts show that he was only temporarily absent from this country on private busine-s, with no intention of remaining permanently in Turkey, but, on the contrary, was at the time of his seiz ure awai’ing an opportunity to return to the United States. Whenever, by the operation of the law of na tions, an individual becomes clothed with our national character, be he a native-born or na turalized citizen, an exile driven flora bis early jjome by political oppression, or an emigrant enticed from it by the hopes of a better fortune ! ior himself and his posterity, he can claim the protection of this Government, and it may re spond to that claim without being obliged to ex plain its conduct to any foreign Power; for it is its duty to make its nationality respected by tbei n b*'° n 8 res P ec * ed * n every quarter of 1 his right to protect persons having a domicil, though not native born or naturalized citizens, rests on the firm foundation of justice, and the claim to be protected is earned by considerations which the protecting power is not at liberty to disregard. Such domiciled citizen pays the same price for his protection as native born or natu ralized citizens pay for them. He is under the l»onds of allegiance to the country of his resi dence. and if he breaks them incurs the same penalties; he owes the same obedience to the civil laws, and must discharge the duties they impose on him ; his property is in the same way and to the same extent as theirs liable to contri bute to the support of the Government. In war he shares equally with them in the calamities which may belall the country ; his services may be required for its defence; his life may be per illed and sacrificed in maintaining its rights and vindicating its honor. In nearly all respects his and their condition as to the duties and burdens of Government are undistinguishable; and what reasons can be given why, so far at least as re gards protection to person and projierty abroad as well as at borne, his rights should not be co extensive with the rights of native born or nat uralized citizens ? By the law of nations they have the same nationality ; and what right has any foreign power, tor the purpose of making distinction between them, to look behind the character given them by that code which regu lates national intercourse? When the law of na tions determines the nationality of any man, foreign Governments are bound to respect its decision They would have no cause to complain if the protecting power should stand upon its extreme rights in all cases ; but that power, in discharg ing its duties of protection, may, for sufficient reasons, have some regard for the civil distinc tions which its own laws make between the different classes of persons to whom it has the right, under international law, to extend its pro tection. It will naturally watch with more care and may act with more vigor in behalf of na tive bom and naturalized citizens than in behalf of those who, though clothed with its nationali ty, have not been so permanently incorporated into its political community. Giving effect to these well established princi ples and applying them to the facts in the case, the result is. that Koszta acquired while in the United States their national character, that he retained that charactei when he was seized at Smyrna, and that he had a right to be respected as such while there by Austria and every other foreign power. The right of a nation to protect and require others to respect, at home and abroad, all who are clothed with its nationality, is no new doctiine now for the first time brought into operation by the United States. It is com mon to all nations, and has had the sanction of their practice for ages: but it is new that at this late period, when the United States a-sert a claim to it as a common inheritance, it should at once be discovered that it is a doctrine fraught with danger, and likely to compromit the peace ot the world. The United States see no cause lor alarm ; no reason for renouncing for them selves what others have so long and so harmless ly enjoyed. There may be a reluctance in some quarters to adopt the views herein presented relative to the doctrine of domicil and consequent nationali ty, lest the practical assertion of it might in some instances give a right of protection to those who do not deserve it. Fears are entertained that this doctrine offers a facility for acquiring a na tional character which will lead to alarming abuses ; *hat under the shadow of it political agitatois, intent U|>on disturbing the repose of their own or other countries, might come to the United States with a view to acquire a claim to their protection, and then to return to their for mer scenes ot action to carry on, under a chang ed national character, their ulterior designs with greater security and better success. This appre hension is believed to be wholly unfounded. The first distinct act done by them towards the accomplishment of these designs would disclose their iraudulent purpose in coming to and seek ing a domicil in this country. Such a develop ! ment would effectually disprove the tact that : they acquired a domicil here, and with it our na i tionality. Without that nationality, they could not be considered as standing under the protect ing arm ot the United States, and consequently could have no right to claim, and no reason to expect, it would be exerted in their defence. . Their fraudulent intent would defeat all they could hope to gain by a residence in this roun try, and by insincerely professing to make it their home. The intention entertained in good faith to make it such a home would be wanting, and without such an intention neither domicil nor nationality can be acquired. This conside tation should dispel ail suspicions that this doc trine as to nationality ami protection will not be as safely used and as well guarded from abuse by the United States as it has been in times past, or may be in the future, by any other sovereign power. There is nothing in the doctrine herein maintained, or in the history of this government to awaken the slightest apprehension that it is in any way inclined to extend the shield of pro tection over adventurers or seditious propagand ists who may go from this to other countries to engage in enterprises designed to interfere with their politioal institutions or disturb their inter nal quiet. The liberal policy of the United States in regard to receiving immigrants from all nations and extending to them the advantages of their free institutions, makes it an act of jus tice ou their part to maintain the right of nation al protection to the full extent authorized by the law of nations, and to resist with firmness any attempt to impose new restrictions upon it. There is another view of this case which pla ces the conduct of the agents of this Government at Smyrna upon equally defensible giounds. The American Consul there and the American Lega tion at Constantinople acted with great caution in relation to Koszta’s claim to be regarded as entitled to the protection of this Government. As his naturalization had not been perfected they hesitated at first to receive him under their protection ; but the facts show that they ultimate- I*y y‘elded to his application. He received from each a Uzkereh —in effect a certificate—that the ! P ers °n to whom it is given is cared for, and re ! ceived under the protection of the Government | whose agent has granted it. . By the laws of Turkey and other Eastern na tions the consulates therein may receive under their protection strangers and sojourners whose w th‘°tt S ° Cia snanners5 nanners do not assimilate with the religion and manners of those countries. Ihe persons thus received become thereby in vested with the nationality of the protecting consulate. These consulates, and other European establishments in the East, are in the constant I habit of opening their doors for the reeettion of such inmates, who are received irrespective of the country of their birth or allegiance. It is not uncommon for them to nave a large number of such proteges. International law Recognises and sanctions the rights acquiesced by this” con nexion. ‘"ln the law of nations as to Europe, the rule is, that men take their national character from the' general character of the country in which they reside ; and this rule applies equally to America. But in Asia and Africa and immiscible character is kept up, and Europeans tiading under the pro tection of a factory take their national character from the establishment under which they live and trade. This rule applies to those parts of the world from obvious reasons of policy, be cause foreigners are not admmitted there, as in Europe ‘and the western part of the world,” into the general body and mass of the society of the nation, but 1 hey continue strangers and sojour ners, not acquiring any national character under the genera! sovereignty of the country.”—(l. Kent’s Cam., 78-’9.) The Lords of Appeals in this High Court ot Admiralty in England decided in 1784 that a merchant carrying on trade at Smyrna, under the protection ot a Dutch consul, as to be con sidered a Dutchman as his national character (Wheaton’s Inter. Law, 384., 3 Rob. Adm. Re ports, 12 ) This decision has been examined and approved by the eminent jurists who have since written treatises on international law. According to the principle estaulished in this case, Koszta was invested with the nationality of the United States, if he had it not before, the moment was under the protection of the American Consul at Smyrna and the American legislation ot Constantinople. That he was so received is established by the tezkereh they gave him and the efforts they made for his release, j The Cbaige d Affairs ad interim of the U. States at Constantinople, in a letter of the 29th of June, addressed to the imperial Internuncio, states: It was on presenting this declaration of allegiance j to the consulate of the United States of America at Smyrna and to this legation that the said Koszta was furnished with a tezkereh to come to Constantinople and to return to Smyrna, wheuce he was to start for New York. Since his arrival in Turkey he has resided under the protection of my Government, and it is a pleasure to me to be able to state that his conduct has always been irreproachable.” Having been received under the protection of these American establishments, he had thereby acquired, according to the law of nations, their nationality, and when wronged and outraged as he was, they might interpose for his liberation, and Capt. Ingraham had a right to co-operate with them for the accomplishment of that ob ject. Ihe exceptions taken to the manner of that co-operation remain to be considered. in relation to the deportment of the American agents towards Mr. Weckbecker, the Austrian Consul General, the undersigfied cannot conceive that there can be any ground of complaint. Noth ing done to or with him by Mr. Offiey, our Con sul at Smyrna, can possibly imply disrespect to the Emperor of Austria. Neither in his private character nor as a functionary of the Austrian Government did Mr. Weckbecker take an open or an avowed part in the opening scene of the outrage. His agency in that affair at its com mencement was clandestine. This course im plied a consciousness on his part that the act was indefensible. The fact that he sought the aid of the civil authority of Turkey to get Koszta into his possession proves that he knew the mode he resorted to for that purpose was illegal. The application of Mr. Offiey to him to assist in and consent to Koszta’s release was certainly no of fence, and implied no disrespect either to him or his Government. The appeal of Mr. Biown to Capt. Ingraham to interpose for the liberation of Koszta, and his advice to effect it in the way it was done, must be regarded not only as proper but praiseworthy acts, provided Capt. Ingraham’s conduct can be vindicated. The justification of Capt. Ingraham will consequently exonerate Mr. Brown from ail censure. If Capt. Ingraham’s course was right, Mr. Brown’s cannot be wrong. The com mander of the St. Louis was placed in a truly embarrassing position. Charged with the pro tection of the persons and property ot those who had a right to the protection of his Government, it was at the same time no less his imperative duty to respect the authorities of all countries in friendly relations with his own. After anxiously considering the case presented to him at Smyrna, he determined that he ought to effect the release of Koszta, and, unavoidable, resort to force to ac complish it. It has excited some surprise here that, after a consideration of the circumstances, an impression should be entertained in any quarter that Capt. Ingraham either committed or mediated hostility towards Austria on that occasion. In passing upon his conduct it is necessary to keep in view the conclusions established, as the udersigned believes, in the preceeding remarks : for he, with out doubt, acted upon precisely the same conclu sions. He believed that Koszta had been seized without authority, that he was illegally impri soned, and that he ought at once to be set at liberty. The first aggressive act in this case was the seizure of Koszta at Smyrna, committed by the piocurement of the Austrian functionaries ; the first improper use of a national ship, the impri sonment of Koszta therein, was made by the commander of the Austrian brig Huszar. That ship was converted into a prison for the illegal detention of a person clothed with the nationali ty of the United States, and consequently en titled to their protection. If Austria upholds, as it appears she does, the conduct of the com mander of the Huszar, she is in tact the first ag gressor. This act of the commander of the Hus zar led to the series of other acts which consti tute the ground of complaint against the United States, l'he alleged authority of Austria under treaties being set aside, no one would have ques tioned Capt. Ingraham’s right, had he been pre sent, to arrest the proceeding of the kidnappers in the streets ot Smyrna, and rescue Koszta from their hands. They were acting without and against the civil authority of the place; they were committing an atrocious outrage upon a person invested with the nationality of the United States. If he could have properly inter lered in the first stage of this lawless transaction, he might do so in the last. The act was, in all its stages, a continuous wrong, and the character of the actors, though there was a succession of persons, was the same—they were all wrong doers; and if they chanced to have the posses sion of a national ship, and converted it into a prison for the purpose of consummating this wrong, that ship, thus desecrated, was not en titled to the privileges of a sanctuary. Those who had the right to claim and the jiower to release the prisoner illegally confined therein might treat it as a prison, and while it was de graded to such an igi.oole puipose might lorget, and be excused tor loigetting, that it was a na tional ship. There is a consideration probably not brought to the notice of Austria, and not sufficiently re garded by others, which places the acts of Capt. Ingraham in a true light, and repels the infer ence of intended hostile demonstrations towards Austria. It was the understanding of the par ties that Koszta should be retained at Smyrna while the question of his nationality was pend ing. Capt. Ingraham received satisfactory evi dence of a design, on the part of the Austrian functionaries at Smyrna and Constantinople, to disregard this arrangemeut and remove him clandestinely from the Huszar on board of a steamer, tor the purpose of takingjhira to Trieste. The information was such as did cot permit Capt, Ingraham to doubt that the commander of the Huszar concurred in this design, and intend ed to aid in carrying it into effect. By this evi dence of the want of good faith on the part of the Austrian functionaries, in which the Capt. of the Hu-zar was implicated, the Captain of the St. Louis was placed in the perplexing alter native of surrendering the captive, without fur ther efforts, to the sad fate which awaited him, or to demand his immediate release, and in case of refusal to enforce it. The Government of the United States exceedingly regrets that he was reduced to this painful alternative; but it cannot find, after a full consideration of al! the circum stances, any good reason for disapproving the course he pursued. It is not just to Capt. Ingra ham to look at the affair as it was at the precise point ol time when the demand for the releaso of Koszta was made. I'he antecedent events qualify and legalize the act. The Austrian functionaries had obtained the possession of the person of Koszta, not i,i a fair or allowable way, but by violating the civil laws of Turkey arid the rights of humanity. Under these circum stances their custody of him was entitled to no respect lrom the agent of the Government w ich, by virtue of his nationality, had aright to pro tect him. Had all the circumstances been as they were, except a change of place—instead of being taken from the territory of the Ottoman Porte, had he been taken from that of the Uni ted States, could a question have been raised as to the propriety of Capt. Ingraham’s conduct? If the conclusions heretofore arrived at are cor rect, the Austrian agents had no more right to take Koszta from the soil of the Turkish domin ions than from the territory of the United States, and Capt. Ingraham had the same right ,° et P ar , ld , enforce his release as he would hav* had if Koszta had been taken from Ameri can soil and incarcerated in a national vessel ot the Austnan Kmperor. I n this question, con the nlaci of H° Umted States and Austria, the rCfn transa< | tlon » immaterial, unless the Austrian municipal laws extended over it. partkof* Mr^Hids y ‘ elds , a assent that part ol Mr. Hulsemann’s note relative to the war making power The doctrine contained in it is sound and well sustained by most approved au honties; but (the undersigned has not been able to discover its applicability to the case un der consideration. The people of the United States, m organizing their Government, have been careful to impose more restrictions upon that power than any of the nations of Europe and it cannot be admitted that these nations have had any occasion to reprove this Govern ment for its abuse. It has as deep an interest and as anxious a desire to maintain international relations of friendship and peace as any of the Europeeti Powers, and will do as much as any of them for public tranquility. The rules tor its own guidence, and tor the conduct of its agents abroad, have that end specially in view. On entering upon the duties of his office the President announced the policy which would be observed by this Government in its foreign in tercourse : " We have nothing in our history or position to invite aggression ; we have every * n = to us to the cultivation of relations o peace and amity with all nations. Purposes, er e ore, at once just and pacific, will be signi inirc marked ,n th** conduct of our foreign af > aVf < [tS V eed be no apprehensions of a departure from this course In pursuance of this policy the agents ot this Government abroad are under instructions to respect the rights of all nations ; and any de viation from that course would be promptly dis avowed, and proper reparation made for any in jury or insult which they might offer to a friend ly Power The application made by Austria to the prin cipal Powers of Europe, to warn and admonish the United States in regard to the conduct of their agents on the occasion before-mentioned, implies that this Government has adopted and is acting upon some principle hitherto unknown to the law of nations and dangerous to public tran quillity. The communications to the Govern ment in compliance with this appeal, though re spectfully made and doubtless well intended, im ply a distrust of its good faith and fair inten tions. The undersigned is confident that, after due consideration of the views here taken of the af fair at Smyrna, those Powers which have been so prompt to censure will be equally prompt to correct any precipitate judgment they may have formed in regard to it. He indulges the belief that after a full and lair examination—not mere ly of a detached fact but of the whole series of facts—they will be abundantly satisfied that the agents of this Government in that transac tion have respected international law, and in no particular transgressed the restrictions it im poses. The vindication of these agents is not placed upon any principle new to the international code or unknown in the practice of enlightened nations. These nations do not hesitate, in the exercise of the right of protection, to extend it to |persoris (not always subjects according to their municipal laws) who are clothed with their nationality; and in some instances they have carried this right of protection to limits which this Government would not venture, because it would not feel justified to approach; nor have any of these nations been disposed to abandon the ex ercise of this right from a timid apprehension that it might possibly bring them into an occa sional collision with other Powers. Is there any thing in the character or condi tion of this Government which restricts it in the use of this right—-a common inheritance to all —within narrower limit than are allowed to other? In relation to international rights, the United States ask no more than has been conce ded to others, and will not be contented with less. They put forth no new principles, but claim the full benefit of those which are estab lished. Before closing this communication, the under signed will briefly notice the complaint of Aus tria againt Capt. Ingraham for violating the neu tral soil of the Ottoman Empire. The right of I Austria to call the United States to an account I for the acts of their agents affecting the sovereign | territorial right of Turkey is not perceived, and they do not acknowledge her right to require any explanation. If any thing was done at Smyrna in deroga tion of the sovereignty of Turkey, this Govern ment will give satisfactory explanation to the Sultan when he shall demand it, and it has in structed its Minister resident to make this known to him. He is the judge, and the only rightful judge, in this affair, and the injured par ty, too. He has investigated its meiits, pro nounced judgment against Austria, and acquitted the United States; yet, strange as it is, Austria has called the United States to an account tor violating the sovereign territorial rights of the Emperor of Turkey. The conclusions at which the President has arrived, after a full examination of the transac tion at Smyrna, and a respectful consideration of the views ot the Austrian Government thereon, as presented in Mr. Hjlsemann’s note, are, that Koszta, when seized and imprisoned, was inves ted with the nationality of the United States, and they had, therefore, the right, if they chose to exercise it, to extend their protection to him ; that from international law—the only law which can be rightfully appealed to for rules of action in this case—Austria could derive no authority to obstruct or interfere with the United States in the exercise of this right in effecting the libera tion ot Koszta; and that Capt. Ingraham’s inter position tor his release was, under the peculiar and ext,aordinary circumstances of the c|se, right and proper. These conclusions indicate to Mr. Hulsemann , the answer whicti the under-igned is instructed by the President to make to the Emperor of Austria totne demands presented in Mr. Hulse mann’s note. [ The President does not see sufficient cause for disavowing the acts of the American agents which are complained of by Austria. Her i claim for satisfaction on that account has been carefully considered and is respectfully declined. Being convinced that the seizure and impri > son merit ol Koszta were illegal and unjuslifia i ble, the President also declines to give his con sent to his deliveiy to the Consul General of , i Austria at Smyrna; but, after a full examination ; °f the case, as herein presented, he has instructed j Hie undersigned to communicate to Mr. Hulse ; rnann his confident expectation that the Empe ror ot Austria will take the prop«-r measures to cause Martin Koszta to be restored to the same condition he was in before he was seeized in the : streets of Smyrna on the 21st of J une last. The undersigned avails himself of this occa sion to renew to Mr. Hulsemann the assurance of his high consideration. W. JL. Marcv, I Telegraphed for the Baltimore Swn.J Arrival of the Steamer Baltic.
