Every crujsing officer knows, by her appearance and behavior, whether a vessel is going along about hor business on the high seas.

FREE BOTTOMS. ‘10 THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD, There can be no doubt of the facts you state in your re- port about “right of search,” &o., &c., contained in the pabers of the day; but whether tru or not, there remains to be said something ag to Certain other cases occurring. For instance, when in the years immediately preceding the war of 1812 between Groat Britala and the United four years under French, but im a cane pawh unt his frigate, Leviathan. sailed, whoo he made his escape and reached home. This was aa in- fringement, there can be no doabt, upom the “ freedom of the seas." Tne next thing which came more particularly tomy notice was the case of the Coesaprake ate (when, in 1907, 1 joiped the navy), on her being o by the British frigate Leopard. This waa anotner case for con- siferation on the part of our goverament. Well, after waiting five years, we go to war—enter & war with Kagland, of great navi wer, although baving none oo or ‘The ships, unfit for service, and Jefferson's hey havi lod to make up the force to of Cul a, whick was contemplated at the taey Were pul Up9e the stocks), wore first oxorcised ee, our OWN Commerce in the por of Ni if Commor rial places during the *Embar and “Noa intercourse’ acts; and thea, whem the war broke out, were only used to guard our harbors.
