Lo ERI ns In confidering this wWriter\u2019s,complaist againft me, with regard to the difpute with America, | wi | firft notice what relates to the particular cafein queftion, and then \u2014 troubie you with a few obfervations as to thé general principle, upon which his rea- fori proceeds.Tm eens ie SRR TY ey se We, Gentlemen, have a treaty of amity and commerce with the Americans, in which treaty we grant them great: benefits and indulgences, and, almoft the only ftipulation i | in our favour, i$, that our fhi:sfhall have frec entry into their ports and harbours, there to water, viétual, and refit (if neceflary) without lec or moleftation of any fort.sut \u201c a upon fuch oceafions, \u2018of what-ufe-isittous?\u201cOr,-rather,-is-not the-ftipulation.in fuch \u2014 cafe, a delpiéable fraud ?To inveigle away any part of ous fhip\u2019s crew, under fuch ciroumftances ; or, to fecret.them, er Wwithhold them, from their'officers, is à grofs violation of this article of the treaty 3 is an a& of hoitility, \u201cthe moft hoftile aét, that the party is ableto commit agaioft us ; and, therefoie, if capt.Humphreys had proceeded, at once to attack the chefapeak, without any previoys application for the men, he would - have dore no more than ftuct juftice wouid have warranted.Suppofé that the whole _of a fhip's crew were, while lying, at Norfolk, to run the fhip aground, and infift upon - kreping her in that fituation.Will this writer contend, that we fhould not aright {.~ £a treat it as an aË of boflilicy, if the American peopie, or government, Were to receive .thefe men, and prevent us, no matter by what law, from fciaing them ?If fome of the men may be received and with held f om us, why net the zubale ; and, why not in one cafe as wellas in another cafe ?So that, at'this rate, a treaty of amity would- mean, a thing whereby one natin is inveigled into the arms of-another, for the purpofe of: that other doing it all the milchief in its power.This writer choofes to begin with what h=calis the infult given to the American flag 5 he talks about the right of fearching.American flag-fhips for delerters, jnft as if nothing previous had occurred.If it had * fuited him to notice, that, by taking, the deferters on board, the'Americans had committed an act of hoftility againt us, his conclufion, or, at leatt, the conclufion of his readers, muft:have been very different from that which he has drawn.\u2014\u20141f, indeed, th~defesters were not Britifh fubje@s, but really Americans born ; if this was groved to the reafonable fatisfaétion of our minifter in America, or to \u2018our commander upon - \"A ftation, that al'ers the case ; but, if that proof was not given, and; itis my decided \u2026: | \u20180, 1mon, that it will appear that it was not given, Admiral Berkeley, is giving orders for the fearch,-and captain Humphreys in fo manfully executing thoic o:ders, delerve the pratles of their country.s° Bn ; But, \u2018Gentlemen, I contend f-r the right of.fearching for deferters, upon the general prine ciple, that.thefeas are she doiminion of thofe whoarenbl: to maintain a maftery over allthat fwi us upon them.\u2018The waters, withia cannon foot, of a coaft, are held, by c.viliane, to bee .- Ÿ long, to thofe who dweli upon the coat.But, \u2018wharrighr 3 : enjoyment of thefe, any more than we have to the d yminion ofthe whole of the teas, wheieon we are able tamaintain a fuperior:ty of force ?The writer beforeus, has faida preat deal about eguity änd equal juflèce ans equal liberty.But, with fubmilthion, 1 muit exprefs my belief; that be hasnot takem time, duly Jo ditcriminate -b=tween the rights and liberties of india vi twals and the rights and liberties of nations Individuals enterinio a compa, exprels or tacit, to enjoy each «fthem fuch and tuch rightsand liberties ; or, rather, they ali confent to farrender a part of their hberties § to put their natural rights ifito a common tock, whence, in well regulated ftates, each draws an equal fhare and enjoys it spon conditions common to ail, But, itis impotfible, that any fuch compa@ fhould exiit among nations, who have no.common ftock of rights or liberties, who have no common government, who-bave no general men ; and, obferve, that, from a!l calls in defcace-by lan4, fcamen areexempsed ; tD which.\u201ctn con may be added this circumitance, that feainen, when impreifes, are nottaken from thei: homes, .ol Tage Ji and put into a newand frange flate of life ;

campromile, but others were too highly difadvantsgeous, and no fufficient provifion was made againft the principal fource of the iriitations and collifions which were -canflantty endangering the of the two mations.The queftion therefore Whether a treaty fhould be accepted in that form, could have adriditted but of oae decifion, even'had no - ' i impaired ifidence init.- Still anxious not te clofe - \u2018|.;

to call 6n that government for' | the fatisfalion and fecurity i1equired by the outrage.© A very fhort interval oughtnow to bring the anfwer, which fall be communicated -to you as foun as received: then alfo, - or as foon after as the public interefts jhall be found to admit, the unratified treaty, and proceedings relative to it, fhall be made knows td you.Soe The aggreffion thus begun, has been continued On the pirt of the sritifh Commtan.\u2018 ders, by remaining within our waters in defiance of the guthority of che country, by bab tual violations of its jurifdiction, and at length by putting to death one the per.fons whom they had forcibly taken from enboerd the Chefapeake.Thefe aggravations - | necessarily lead to the policy either of never admitting an armed veffel into our harbors, er cf maintaining in every harbor fuch an armed force as may conftrain obedience te the laws, and protect the lives and property of ovr citizens againft their armed guefts; but the exoenfz of fuch: a standing force, and its ingonfiftence with our principles,\u2019 dif.peste with thofe courtefies which would necetlarily call for it, and leave us equally free o exclude the navy, as we sie the army of a foreign power, from emtering our limits.To former violations of maritime rights, atother is now.added of very extenfive effect.The government of that nation has iflued an order interdicting all trade by neutrals between ports notin emity with them, and being now at war with nearly every nation on the.Atlantic and Mediterranean fear, our veffels are required to facritice their cargoes at the fir port they touch, or torcturn home without the benefit of going to any other market.Under this new law of the ocean, our trade on the Medi:erranean has been fwept away by feizures and condemnaïigns, and that in other feas is threatened with the fame fate, : Our differences with Spain*remain fill unfettled, no meafure having been talcen on her \u201d part, fince my la communications to congrefs, to bring them to\u2018a clofe sut under a flaté af things, which may favour reconfideration, they have been recently preffed, and 23 exprctation is entertained they may now foon be brought to an iffue of fome fort.With gheir fubjects on our borders, no new collifions have takes place, nor féem im.* mediately to be apprehended, To our former grounds of complaint has been added a : 7 * indaftry, ase fincerely difpofed ta adhere to their.friendihip.with ui, and tw their p-acc-with + ;
