And even as late as the treaty of Amiens, in 1802, between Great Britain and the French and Bavarian Republics, it was deemed necessary to stipulate that the prisoners on both sides should be restored without ransom. The present usages, of exchanging prisoners without any ransom, was early introduced among the more polished nations, and was pretty firmly established in Europe before the end of the seventeenth century. 9. No positive obligation to exchange. But this usage is not, even now, consi...dered obligatory upon those who do not choose to enter into a cartel for that purpose. " Who- ever makes a just war, " says Vattel, " has a right, if he thinks proper, to detain his prisoners till the end of the war. " * * * " If a nation finds a considerable advantage in leaving its soldiers prisoners with the enemy during the war, rather than exchange them, it may certainly, unless bound by cartel, act as is most agreeable to its interests. This would be the case of a state abounding in men, and at war with a nation more formidable by the courage than the num- ber of its soldiers.
