If the proclamation, instead of claiming a right to capture after the lapse of a certain time, had made vessels liable thereto which, after having been warned off the blockaded coast by an indorsement on their papers, afterward attempted to enter a blockaded port, it would have been more in accordance with the just rights of neutrals. The Secretary of the Navy has been requested to send a manof-war thither. The right to capture within a time arbitrarily limited by a blockading government is not recognized by us. SIR: Your dispatch No. 31, of the 6th instant, has been received. It relates to the benevolent conduct of Messrs. H. L. Boulton & Co., toward immigrants from this country in distress in Venezuela.
