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 ;
