foreign commerce, ahd of enforcing that exclulion ? Can this l)c deemed a wrong to France ? Cm this be regarded as a legitimate caule of reprifal on the part of'a power who makes it the firil duty of nations to defend their fnrf r-ignty, and who even lienatiomlizes the Ihips of thofe who will not hiofnbe to the opinion, Bu: it h.isbeen faid tli.it the 14 Unitrd States had nothing to complain of againft France." Was the capture and condemnation of a fiiip driven on the Ihores of fiance by ftrefs of weather and the perds of the lea noth. ? Was the feizure and fequcftration of many cargoes brought to Vance in .(hips violating no law, and admitted to regular cntrv at the imperial cuflom houfes noth. ing ? Was the violation of our miritime lights, confecrated as they have been by the folemn forms of a pualD treUy nothing? In a word, was it nothing that ouf fhips were burnt on the highTras, without other offence than th.it of belonging tothe U. .States ; or other apology than was to be found in the enhanced fafety of the perpetrator ? Surely if it be the duty of the U. tttes to refent the theoietical ufurpatious of the Britifh orders of Nov. 1807, it cannotbe lefs their duty to complain of the duly and practical outrages on the part of France I It is indeed true that were the people of the U. Statas deftitute of polity, of honor and of energy (as has been infinti ited) they might have adopted a fyftem of difcrimination between the twor great belligerents ; they might have drawn immaginflry lines between the firft and fecond ag greflor ; thry might have refented in the one a canrfuct to which they tamely fuhmitted in the other, and in this wa- have pitched up a compromife between honor & intereft, equally weak and difgraceful. But fuih was not the cciirf-they purfued and it is perhaps a necefTary conleqnence of the juflice of their meafures that they are at this day an indep-ndent nation. XS I will xiotprefs this part of my fubjefl ; it would be afTrontful to your excellency (knowing as you do, that there are not lefs than one.liundrrd American fliips within his iTMjefly's poITrfun, or that of Im allies) to multiply proofs that the U. States have grounds of Complaint againft France. (To be concluded in our next.)
