er the property of tho.-e enemies whose Governments acknowl- 1
edge this principle, and not that of others.
Art. 12. It is l.kewise agreed, that in ca-es where the neu- '
tral flag ot one of the contracting parties sh ill pr iteetthe prop
r erty of the enenii. s of the other, in virtue of the above st p ila- i
, tion, it -hall always be understood that the neutral property
I found on board of such ene.ny’s vessel shall be hel lan I c m-i i
ered as enemy’s property, and as such, shall be liable to det- n
l tion and confiscation, except such properly as was put on b iard
• such vessels before ll.e declaration of war, or even afterw ir I*, i
■ it were done without the knowledge of such declaration: but t!i
contracting parties agree, that six months h iving elapse I alici

Art. 1 J. All other merchan lize an I things not comprehend
’d in the articles of contraband, expli itly enum rated an 1 class
ified a. above, shall be held an I considered as free, and subjects
if free ami lawful commerce; so that th<y ma/ be carried and
transported in the freest manner by both tite c mtracting par
ties, even to places belonging to an enemy, excepting only those
places whi -It are, at that time, besieged or blockaded ; and to
avoid all doubt in this particular, it is declared, that those pla
ces only are besieged and blockaded, which are actually by a
force capable of preventing the entry of the neutral.
Act. J 5. The articles of contraband, of those be bte enumer
ated and classified, which may be found in a vessel hound for an
enemy’s port, shall be subject to de»e ition an 1 confiscation ; but
the re-t of the cargo and the ship stall be left free, that the ow
ners may dispose of them as they see proper. No vessel of ei
ther of the contra, ting parties‘shall be detained on the high
seas, on account of having on board articles of contraband,
whenever t! e master, captain, or supercargo of said vessel will
deliver up the articles of contraband to the captor, unless, in
deed, the quantity of such articles be so great, and of so large
a bulk, that they cannot he received o,i board the capturing
vessel without great inconvenience; but in this and all other
cases of just detention, the vessel detained shall be sent to the
nearest convenient and safe port, for trial and judgment accor
ding to law.
Art. IG. And whereas it frequently happens that vessels sail
for a port or place belonging to tn cm -my, without knowing
that the s mie is besieged, blockaded or invested, it is agreed
that every vessel so circumstanced may he turned away from
such port or place, but shall not be detained ; nor shall any
part of her cargo, if not contraband, be confiscated, unless, af
ter being warned of such blockade or investment, by the com
manding officer of a vessel forming part of the blockading for
ces, she shall be permitted to go to any other port or place the
master or supercargo shall think proper, Nor shall any vessel
of either party, tint may have entered into such port or place,
before the same was actu illy besieged, blockaded, or invested
by the other, be restrained from quitting it, with her cargo;
nor it'found therein before or after the reducti in ami surrender,
shall such vessel or her cargo be liab'e to seizure, confiscation,
or any demand on the score of redemption or restitution; but
the owners thereof shall be allowed to remain in the undisturbed
possesion of their pro] e ty. And if any vessel having thus
entered the port before tiie blockade took place, shall take on
board a cargo after the blockade be established, and attempt to
depart, she shall be subject to being warned by the blockading
forces to return to the port blockaded, and discharge the said
cargo; aud it, after receiving said warning, the vessel shall per
sist i i going out with the cargo, she shall be liable to the same
consequences to which a vessel attempting to enter a blockaded
port, after being wanted off by the blockading forces would be
liable.

deacon, ‘I had funny dream last night.’ ~
‘ Weil, Tummy, what was your funny dream?’
* W hy, I dreamed that the devil came into your store,
‘ The devil ?’
‘ Yes, pa. the devil, and that he found you drawing a glass
of gin for poor Ambo Jamas, who has fits, and who broke his
little baby’s arm the other day, becan.-e she cried when he came
home drunk And I thought tiie devil came to the counter,
and laid the end of his long tail down on a chair, and lean 1
over towards the barrel oi gin where you were stooping to draw
it out, and as ed you it you wan’t a deacon. And I thought
you did not iook up, but said you was; and then he grinn’d and
shook his tail like a cat that has a mouse, and says he to n:c :
‘ That ’ere’s the deacon for me;’ ami ran out of the shop laugh
ing so loud that I put my fingers in my ears and woke up.’
