These rules are binding uponthe United States and Great Britain, and the contracting partiesagreed to bring them to the knowledge of other maritime powers, andto invite such powers to accede to the rules. In those rules it is stipulated that a neutral nation should notpermit a belligerent to fit out, arm, or equip in its ports any vesselwhich it has reasonable ground to believe is intended to cruise orcarry on war against a power with which it is at peace. It was furtheragreed, as between the p...arties to the treaty, that neither wouldsuffer a belligerent to make use of its ports or waters as a base ofoperations against the other. Finally, the parties agreed to use duediligence to prevent any infraction of the rules so established. Mr. Fish was then Secretary of State, and to him was General Grant andthe country largely indebted for the settlement of the Alabamacontroversy; but the settlement was in harmony with General Grant'sinaugural address. Before the final adjustment of the controversy, by the decision of thetribunal at Geneva, General Grant had occasion to consider whetherthe allegation against Great Britain, growing out of her recognition, in May, 1861, of the belligerent character of the Confederacy, couldbe maintained upon the principles of public law.
