POSTSCRIPT.

Since the completion of the Second Edition of this work, two very
important Orders in Council, (dated April 15th, 1854,) have been
published. Before proceeding to explain the intended effect of these
Orders, it will be well to state that the consent of _both_ the Allies
of England in this war is necessary to give full validity to the
Orders.

It is a very old principle that, during a _conjoint_ War, no subject
of an ally can trade with the common enemy without liability to
forfeiture, in the prize courts of the ally, of all his property
engaged in such trade. This rule can be relaxed only by the permission
of the allied nations, according to their mutual consent.[212]

"It has happened, since the world has grown more commercial,
that a practice has crept in of admitting particular
relaxations; and if _one_ state only is at war, no injury is
committed to any other state. It is of no importance to
other nations how much a _single_ belligerent chooses to
weaken and dilute his _own_ rights; but it is otherwise when
allied nations are pursuing a common cause against a common
enemy. Between them it must be taken as an implied, if not
an express contract, that one state shall not do anything to
defeat the general object. If one state admits its subjects
to carry on an uninterrupted trade with the enemy, the
consequence may be that it will supply aid and _comfort_ to
the enemy; especially if it is an enemy very materially
depending on the resources of fo
