M'DOWELL'S ORDER. 1t appears from official documents that iu December lmlflrl\ 't Romero addressed two notes to the Secretary of State in relation to an order issued by Major-Gep. Me- Dowell, commanding the Military Depattment of Califor. pis. prohibiting the exportation of arms or wubitions war l.y way of the frontier into Mexico, These motes were refeited 1o the Attorney-General of the United States, who said the gnestion raised by the Secretary of State wes whother in the opinion of the former this order was in conformity with any laws, regulations or orders in f peariog on the sabject. The Attorney-General savs 1o military cflicer has the right to issue any order to which he caunot lawfully compel obedience by the forces ander Lis command. Tho test, therefore, of the validity in point of law of this order is, whether B conld lawfully enploy the forces subject o his control to prevent Ameri- cad «itizers and other persous within our jurisdietion from traneporting erus or wnnitions of war se werchan across Wie frontier into Mexico in the prosent state of y. The Attorney-General says he is ion that the order of Gen. McDowell” was in- terded (o interiere with such trade conducted by our peo- ple ne tke authorities hase declared to be lasfil, aud js Lot therefore it conforiuity with any order and wis probably intended to be directed against military expeditions or armed enterprises carried on from this Government against the belligerents contendng in Mex| Buch expeditions and enterprises are, of coume, violations of onr statutes, and notking in this opimion is intended 1o lnpugn the va- lidity of the order in 1 to them. The Attorney-Genes prebends it 1o be well settled that merchants may lawfolly sellathowe to belligerent pur- chasers, or carry themselves to the belligaent power, con- traband articles subject to the rights of seizure ou tra. The pight of the nentral to transport, and the hostile power W welae, are coLBicting rights, and neither party can charge the otber with & cdumival act. This is the view tukok by Clascollor Kent. THE FISHERY VLLET. Some of the newspepers bave recently poblished what thmu to be n correct list of the veescls 1o form a fleet for the protection of our fisheries on the North American coast, but the Navy Dopartment has furnished no such information for reasous of public policy. There is vo doubt, however, that ample means will be aseembled pro- vided for vach protection, &8s well as to prevent a breach of pestrality from any meditated Feaian movement, REVENUE AFPOINTMENTS, The President bas tlled all the appointments in Virginia for the Interual Revenuo Burean with paitics who, said, bave taken the test oath.
