There is one great point in which Uuflla and America have more at flake than any other powers it is theFreedom of the Seas. This great principle was a favorite ohject with Catharine and ur.queflionably lay at the bottom of the celebrated armed' neutrdity of 1782, and although the prace of 1783, put an end to the hope of aflTecYmg tht important object at that time, yet it fhculd be remembc red that her acknowledgment of the Independence of thefe United States, was one of the fruits of that loiious ftruggle.
