They alleged that a permit bad been given to proceed to those ports by Don Felipe Rivas, @ military ofl :or of Vivanoo’s government, acd the contract for guano was made with Mr. Frerant, Consul of France at the port of Iquique, The United States claim amounts to $150,000. ‘The Inws which the government of Peru alleges to ave been ¢iolated are those in relation to the contra- band of guano of 1842, repritued, “for a :undant caution,” 1a 1857; tbe decree of the National Convention of Apri! 1, 1857, and articles 16, 118 ard 114 of the commercial regu- lations promulgated in 1852. All which lsws designate the Chincha Irtands, or any point porth of them, as being the only places where vessels may take in guano for foreign ex- portation; wheress the points where the vessels in ques- tion were seized, namely, Punta de Lobos and Pabellon de Pica, are cocsiderably to the south of these islands, being in the neighborbood of Iquique, in the province of Arequipa, auc ihe soatberamost of tue ‘intermediate ports.” ‘Tho law of 1542 declares “that no quanity of guano sball be takes out for exporiation to foreign porte from any portion of the territory of the republic, unlees from ‘the northern islind of the Chincha groop.” ¢ ¢ ¢ © “That every nasions or foreign vessel that may anchor at or come to she islands or places where guano may be found, without due permite from the suthorities that are empowered to grant them, shall be liable to copfisestion;” and that ‘‘vessels that may violate the articles tn relation to ancboring at, or coming to the gvano islands, or deposite, or thoge relative to the taking out of guano from other points, except those designated, and that designation being confined to the northern of the Chincha Islands, ehall be solzed, and their captains sball be brovgbt to trial! es contrabandists.” These pro- Visions were reprinted, as observed above, in the official Journal of February 27, 1867, The decree of April 1, of the same year, declares us follows:—* That all the guano exported, and thereafter to be exported, from the Chincha Inlancs, er from any other deposit of Peru, by distarvers of the public order, or by virtee of contracts made with them or with thelr ageuts, shall at all timea be sub Jeet to be claimed back as stolen national property, and the parties respotetble therefore sball be civilly and criminally protecuts d in conformity with lay.” article 16 of the Commerce's! Regulations, published tn 1862, provides that “tho vessels tbat take in guano for foreign poris shall be allowed to do so in the Chincba Islands only.” Article 118 states that “vewels that may be | fourd et avobor op the cuaete of the isiands belonging to ibe republic shail be copQscated, and, moreover, that if guano ebell bave been fuand on board, the captaine and crews be banded over to the actioa of customary justios. to be tried as delinquents in cases ef theft.” Article 114 ‘enys.—‘The exportation of guano sbail be carried on only by vessels under contract with the government or ite agent.” THE ARGUMENT ON THE PART OP THE UNITED BPATES.

Cage and Attorvey General Black. THE PERUVIAN ARGUMENT. Tbe Peruvian goverament set forth, in tho frat piace, the geverel jaws previously quoted, and contend that the revolution of Vivanco, which must be regarded as @ ro- dellion, pore and simple, for purposes of p'uader, did not surpend the laws of the repubites in those places tempora- rily in their poseersion, aud that the contrary dootrine opens wide the door to every kind of disorder, Trat neither Vivanco nor bis government bad pretended to repeal, by deoree or public act of any kind, the laws aud Teguiations adduced; and that as neither be nor his government was recognized by the goverrment of the United Siatcs, the permits grantod by bis officers ooul! not be regarded a2 legal, That tho oficial recognition of & Btate of civil war in a country is absolutely necersary, on the part of foreign Powers, before the acta of the revo- lutionary party can be regarded as suspending or inter fering materially with tho laws of the esta>iishod govera- ment, or before it can be reoogoized im the light and with the rights of a beiligerent nation; in support of which opinion Mr. sma, in ropiy to General Cass, cites the Supreme Court of the United States, ia a case which arose duricg the war be- ‘tween Spain and ber colonies, in which the following language is ueed:— The government of the United States baa recognized the existence of « civil war between Spain and ber colonics essere, Each party is therefore deemed by us a belligerent nation,” &o, (Whralwa, vol. 1, p. 037.) The tame opinion is affirmed by the same tribuual im the case of Rose vs. Beinely (4 Cranch, p. 273):— The colony of St. Domingo, originally bolonging to France, had broken the bound which connested her ‘With the parent State, and declared herseif independent, kc. It has been argued that the colony, baving declared iteelf @ sovercign State, and having thus far maiatained ite sovereignty by arms, must be considered and treated by other nations as sovereign in fact, and as being en itled, do. In support of this argument the doctrines of Vattel bave ween particularly referred to, But the augange of that writer is obviously addrested to sove reigns, not to courts. It is for governments to decide whetber they will consider 8t Domingo an independent mation; and until euch decision shill be made, or France ‘ball relinquish ber claim, sourte of jastice must consider the anotent state of things as remaining unaltered,” &> The Court reaMfirms the doctrine im the case of Geistou vs. Hoyt (8 Wheaton, p. 824), and in very nearly tho same words. Also in the casecf Konnett vs Chambers (14 |, Howard, p 46), decided in 1862, where the effosts of tho revolution {a Texas were in question. Mr. Osma qurtes, in addition, the following from Wheaton’s E\omeats of in- ternational Law (part 1, chap. 2, sec. 10):— ‘This qres tion must be determined by the sovercign, legislative or exeoutive power of these States, and not by any subordi wate sutbority, or by the private judgment of :Leir tadi vidual subjects.'. Mr. Osme holds that the doctriae lait down in those opinions applies equally to a state of do mestic civil war, as to such when existing between a mo ther country and ber colonies; that “the existence of a Civil war’—the words used by the Court—is all that ie needed to Gemand its application. It is further contend- ed that, without this law,| treaties and compacts be- ‘twron nations would be of no avail, and the responsibility: of governments for the acts of their citizens or sub Jecta completely destroyed. That it is therofore neves wary, and, as such, ecoepted by all countries which re- ard the eacred prinotples of international law, and apon ‘this principle, more cspecially, Peru rests her case. This act of recognition, then, az a piain point of intor- national ia®, is relied on ae of the Righest importance, and upon which the solution of the question depends. If, ag Mr. Cass admits, the relations between the govern ments of Pera and the United States remained unde tarded by the events which bad ovcurred in the former Country, then unquestionably the laws of the former ‘Were still regarded as of force, and therefore binding ‘upon citizens of the latter. And if that conclusion be correct, as is contended, citizens of other countries cold Bot shelter themgsives under the laws of a revolutionary local government, which was merely one de facto and not de jure, being wanting in that essential particular of recognition whieh alone could add legality to its acts. Tae recognition of a civil war is the reeognition of the power which makes it, and in regard to the cases cited by the Attorney General it ts asserted that both bolligerent par Mes in thé eeveral !astances had long been recogaized by the world as Powers aad members of the family of nations, and, therefore, as in the case of the port of Cas Line, the laws of the United States were saspenied and those of Great Britain ia operation, when by the fortuze Of war It fell into the possession of the latter Powor. And #0 in the cage of the island of Seata Crus To show the | importance of this principle of iaw, it i argued that it, for example, © revolution wero io break out ina United States port, and, ase consequence, any loss er iojary ahould accrue to the persons or property of subjects of & foreign Power, where would the responsibility rest? Ou the government of the United States, or the merely de facto government of the revolutionary party? as. surediy on the former, It is farther asked, would or could the government of the United States assert their irresponsibility by alleging thoir inability, under the pe- culiar etroumstances, to protest the persons or property Of foreigners, or that the revoluttoaary government de facto should alone be held responsible? It te anewered, most undoubted!y not, and the case of the (Gemeral arm. strong la cited as a vory strong aod apposite case io Point.
