Nor 'alihoogh we feet tt every A snerictn thoulddothe tcsndaluirs outrages perpetrtted by the latter, we are neither blind nor indifferent to tbe Inadmissible and unrounded claims of the former. Trot, Rutu'uiqne fuat, nulla discrirrline habebo" Nec Rvtvuw iolvo." ihe Rest JuriTta ommhn idem" Indeed we leave to Allen B. Margruder, and other flattaren of Mr.

JeflTerion. 'r leading principle on which the Maritime Courts of Great Britain proceed in the condemnation of otrr property, the produce of the French West India Islands, it said to be, that it it not earn petent to neutral natt'ont to tan on in time of war a wbicb they are exclwMin time of peace i And ibat i France preclude! tu 'from all participation intercolonial trade in time of peace, ibe tball not be permuted to re'ax tbie tyitem of monoptly in time of war, nor, if ibe don, ibatt ntutrali amil tbemiefvei cf the relaxation: a principle, which if strictly adhered to, would annihilate neutral commerce during any war in which Great-Britain might be engaged with her. MIfneutralt(iayii'fr7ijm5'ea)were to suffer the obstructions in their old tradewhich war way a brings with it, and were not permitted to engsge in new channels, it would amount to a to ttl extinction of neutral commerce." But we are told that this rule hat never been departed front by Great Britain lince the war 1756, when it ta adm'tted, it was first adopted. It is certain that before that period, a very di fleet nt doctrine wa heldi for in the war of 1744.. in a eate brouzhi before the Lords tjf Appeal, the neutral ships which had been ctpttircd on a return voytge from the French were released.

And in. the ease ottProvi'lwiffOj rlinch, decided August 1799, it was Stated by Doctors Ar nold and L.wrenee, on tbe part of the claimants, and not denied Oft Ihe other side, that." the principle of 1756 was then frit set up to meet the cases of ships sailingunder special licences ot passes," and for ihe express purpote of counteract a irade of the French, which had first shewn itself un der the contrivance of these licences If so, there would be room, if necessary, to. draw in question, and at any rate te contend that could rim app'y to a different state of things. Bat admitting this to be the general role, -it from time to time been, qua lified by relaxations, and it wiQ be seen that the quce- tion belore its turns orr the Inteimrstion- those relaxations it the form of Infractions' to British Cru-aers. i In Nov.

17P3. soon after the commencement of the war with France, the following Instructions issued by Great-Qritaiil to her ships of war and priva'eera. r-' Thfit they ahall atop and detain all ships loadett with goods the protluce of any colony belonging to France, er carrying provisions or other supplies for the use of any such colo ny, and Shu II bring the sime, wiih their cargoes, to legal adjudication in our courts of Ad-. miralty." But as American vessels had ever since the for mer war been permitted by France to carry on at least a partial commerce with their lome, these Instructions abriged us of our ecautomed trade," and thereby extended the restrictions still farther than the principle adopted in 175S Tbe American government therefore with justice remonstrated a-gainst the infringement, in consequence of which hew Instructions issued Jan. 179-1, in which after revoking the former instructions' the British cruisers were directed Thst they shall bring in for lawful adju- cation all vessels with their cargoes thut re Inadcn with jroods' the produce the French West-India Islands and coming directly from any port of the taid Llands to any port in r.urope." In 1793 these followed by another set of inttruc tions directing their cruiicri: That they ahull bring in for lawful adju-cntion all vessels with tbeir cargoes, that nre laden with gonds, the produce of any island or settlement belonging to France, Spain, or the tViiVed Province; and coming directly from any port of the said islands or settle-.

ments. to anv tiort in Europe, not being a port of this kinzdom, nor a port of that coun try te which such ships being neutral snips, shall belong." That they shall bring in for lawful ad judication, all ships witli their cargoes that are laden with eoons, the produce nt tue said islands and settlements, the property of which sootls shall belong to subiectsof Spain, er the Uoitcd Provinces, to whatsoever port the same may be bound." By these instructions a direct colonial trade was opened to the rcutral countries in Europe as well as to the United States. On tl-e part of r.ur merchants it was believed tut as ni'it'K'ls we h.vl a rght toexjion from the Uuiicd Sta ct to any port in Eurrj u. neutra nmrwrfy wttrMarver aceu'ired (hh tbe ercerrtioii contraband articles and a blikade dritiimtior))' I -wlthtut molestation from any bettigerent on the principle that tbt'gtoJi of afrifnd, eytn on boarJ iie plip of mn xnemj ore fret and if tiptwed ought to ie.ciloredt An jiicwitiVvcriake max'm of the Lwof s.atins, and at suck, reevguized by Great Britain herselfin Aoswertoihe Prut tisn Memorial in 175. Acting on fbls pnnciple, and at the same time availing trwmielves of the re-, taxation contained in the luuuciiom, first of.S4 and afterwards of 1793, our merchant! during tbe Istt war between France and England, wera in the practice of purchasing in the French colonies their pro-' duce, importing it into the United States, and afterwards exporting the same to any pirt in Europe which promised ihem a market.

At length however a capture was ma3efcthei the brig Polly. Latky, master, Hope, owner, and was came before tht Court of Admiralty. It. was. that of decided February, 1800.

This waa tbe case of ao American vessel, taken on a voyage from Marble head to Spain, loaden with nth, lojar and cocoa, the pro duce of a Spanish colony which had been imported from thence into Marb'ehead, the cargo landed and the duties paid) after which, ihe cocoa and sugar, part of it, wert rrshipped by the sarrjie owner in the same vessel for Spain on which voytge the wascaptured and carried in fur arijadi. cation. V' v- Let now examine what overt the interpretations of ihc Instructiohiui 'that war by the fr glith Admiralty Cotrrts). Vrall then reps-red to introduce the lnitrnulcmi i of prmt yT. and to compare tht interpretations on similar heretofore adopredby tl Count, with 'the interpretations recently adopted by the same Conns, and made the ground of the condemnations of which we now complain.

In the course of (he trial of the Poly tht coeowl for the captors were' asked by the Court Is 1 it contended that an American. migSt not pmchaae articles of ihts nature and import tliem bona to America on his own sccount and afterwards export tbemnt It was answered No, that was soicoaw ttndtdt but that the truth and jeality of tht inipor-taiion for his own account was the point in'questi on that all the circumstances in the case pointed to a near connection with Spanish interests i fcc la delivering tht opinion of the Court, Sir William Scottish: There remains only Ve question of law, which has been raised, whetuer this is not such a trade as will tll under the principle that has been applied to the interposition of neutrals in the colonial trade of the enemy? On which it is said, that if an American it not allowed to carry on this trade directly, neither ctn he be allowed to do it circttitoutly. An American has undoubtedly right to Import the prttduce of the Spanish colonies for his own UMe; and after it is' imported bonn fide n-tohls wn country, he would be at liberty- to them on to the general commerceof It is hot my buslnesi to any what is universally the test of a bonajide Importation. It is argued, thut It would not be sufficient that the duties should be paid, and that the enrgo should be landed. If three criteria are not to be resorted to, thculd be at a Ion to know what ifiould be the teit." can find only one other case on this point In the admiralty reports, and that only in a Short note to the ofptiui The Mercury, before the Court of Appeals, Jn-1892, an American vessel, bring ing a cirgo of produce from tht Havannah, merely touching in America for fresh papers, without landing ttt cargo or paying the Juliet, and tailing again on a voyage to Hamburgh, was condemned." Is too concisely stated to afford much satisfaction, but as the ground of condemnation was -that ah neither landed nor puiddutiei, but only touched for fresh pa pers', we are permitted to infer that had those twb requisites landing and paying dutiti been complied with, the decition would have been.

different. How- ever the doctrine laid down in th: ease which I am now about to state and to which I particularly ask the attention of the reader, is to precisely in point that it is tqtial to a volumn of decisions. An American vessel htving on board a cargo of the growth of Spain, which had been imported from the mother country into the United States, and af terwardt exported to a Spanish colony, waa captured on her voyage thither, and the cargo condemned by the Vice Admiralty ciurtot Nassau, on the gronnd that this was in effect such a carrying on of trade by a nrotr-il between the mother coumryand the colony, at came wilhin the principle nf 1756. This decision having been adopted by the prize courts in the Bri tith itlands, an extensive depredation on osr com merce followed similar to what we now experience At soon as it came to the knowledge of our ambaa- ssdnr at the Coott of Great Britain, he addressed an official note tn the English ministry on the subject in which he maintained The law of nations acknowledged in the treaty cf amity, commerce and navigation be. tween the United States and Great-Britain allows the goods of an enemy to be lawfnl prize, and pronounce thote of a friend to be free.

WD ue the united states take no measures to abridge the rights of Great-Britain, as belligerent, they ar: bound to resist with firmness, every attempt to extend them, at the expense of the equally incontestihle rights of nations, which and their interest and duty in living in peace with the rest oi the world. So long ks the ancient law of nations is ob served, which protects the innocent mei ttun diz? of neutrals, while it tbundons to the bel liferent the goods of his enemy, a plain rule nnd may be appealed to, to decide the nchu of peace and wr.
