From the Pamphlet, entitled u An Inquiry into the State of the Nation at the cm. men cement of the Adminijirationand fippfed to have been ■written by Lord Hal! and — London, 1806. c< But, inffy, the operation of our ma ritime power upon the naval affairs of the enemy, lx Tides destroying that part »f his system which alone it is our interest to in. jure, confers important benefits upon thole whom't is our interest to allift. Not only does the ruin of the French navy, by the neutral interference, produce thegreateft inju ry to the government of France, with which aicne we ought to he at war, without ruin ing (he peaceable and unoffending inhabi t i.ifs, whom we fh'duld have no fpile a g drift ; but it transfers .1 large portion of commercial wealth, and a capacity of ac -1 quirtng maritime power, to nations natu rally allied to on, by blood, by the rela tions of political inrerefts, ami fey the inter eourfe of trade. 'The Americans, in par ticular, with whom our rod extensive and lucrative traffic is carried on, and whole friendfhip in a political view we ought to court, as the only refpeftablc state beyond the influence of our enemy, are gainers by the commerce in qoeftion, to an astonishing degree, both as a mercantile and agricultural people. How much their commercial gains, are our gains, need scarcely be pointed out : neither need we (hew how greatly it is for the advantage cf England, and the world in general, that what, the French power loles ihoald pass into the hands of a state where no undue bias, either towards fehemes of ambition, or mcafures of submission to the common enemy, has ever been (hewn... a fta'e where Co many circurnftanccs concur to establish the influence of English princi ples and connexions ; where the other powers of the Curpiniii*, without having any ground for alarm, may always expeft to find afUftancc. fjnn asaw nieiTurate wjth its inclinations. It is in vain, then, to represent the neutral trade as a complete fccu.ity to our enemies, against the efTctbi of cur martime superiority. The injuries which it is our infeteft to inflift upcJn France, are in no wife diminiftied by the interference of America in het commerce. The French ravy is de stroyed by ours, and the chance of restoring it, may be cdnltdered as at an end, duiing the war. The revenue cf France, in so far as it depends upon colonial produce, we . might wish to cut erf, but we cannot; for so long as the French people have a taste for that produce, and money to pay for it, they will buy it ; it will enter France, and pay duties to the government. The commercial prosperity of France we hpve no interest to deftijoy ; but if we had, we could nor, and the transference of the trade to neutral car. acts, mull always protest it in one way or another, when a long war, and a total ru in of their naval force, compels the French to embrace this last alternative, as the only chance, that is left of importing and expor ting commodities, “ A further ground of objection to the Americans has been urged with confidcra ble popular eftl-ft. Their merchantmen, it foems, ate now manned, in p great degree, by deserters frojn the Biitrfli navy. While the emigration of Teamen into their fcrvice prevents England from putting her fhtps of war in commission, the Americans are ready to cftablilh a formidable marine upon the ruins of ours, for the maintenance of their difptited claims.—lt happens, however, to be the neceffhry conference of our situation, that such an emigration should take place. The funilarity pf language and manners, which determines the ordinary coutfr of emi. gntiob towards America from this country, has a ft mi Hr effcift upon the emigration of onr Teamen. The higher wages too, of the American fcrvice, ami ftiil more, the to. tal freedom from press-gangs, which it en. joyS, cannot fail to attract a great number of men from our merchant vcffcls during a war. But how can this poflibly g be preven ted ? No regulation of the government can alter the mannas of America, nor make \ our merchant* raise their wages, .-in order ro retain fabjefts impvefs service. Nor do we seem willing to abolith that mode of fupi lying our navy, which would probably, if coupled with a rife of wages, have the deft red effect. It is faicl, however, that wc may in ft ft upon a tight of fcarching all American vef. fcls at lea, and imprefiing the Britiftt Tea. men found in them. Do wc mean, then, to deny to our Tailors alone, ol all chtffes of the people, a right to leave the country, and sock employment in the territories of friendly powers ? It is hurtful to the com merce of the country, that artisans fliould go to Atactica and Russia, and wc have ft v*- \ • various taws on our ftatutc took, the fruit" of a mistaken poire*', framed with a view of preventing such ao emigration. But no - ©ne can propose, at the present day, to ex. tend such prohibitions, and Hill less was it ever in contemplation to raclaim the artisans who had afiually gone away and fettled :in foreign countries. A sailor working in f.\ American (hip, is only in the prcdicamer. of a farmer cultivating an American plant:, tion ; Sc the fenrch o( the (hip for the purpcio of seizing the Tailor, would be an of violent aggreflion, as the search of the codo. try for the seizure of the farmer. The only d;fference between the cases is, that v.' e happen to have the power in the sow^ r * and not in the latter. “ But by going to war with Amerp, we may prevent the further emigration! at cur Teamen, acquire a right to rccilm tbofe who are already gone. By turning all our vdlels into armed cruizes, i'.d engaging in an universal piracy, we n.Lht (fill further enrich ourfelvcs. We havejthe fir (I mvy and bravest people in the wctld.' We may take the Tea, as France has fclycd upon the land ; and thus find our profit in prefering war with the whole world* to peace with .a fiogls nation, which has rights v and advantages repugnant to our fuppdfed interest. After all, however, laying lief, tree oat of the question, is it our real iqier eft to quarrel with the only power which re. nv,ir..s unhurt by French influence, to lose our intcrcourfc with the nation best calcula ted for our commercial relations. 'At this moment, France and America seem of thetn felvcs disposed to a rupture ; and pcffibly, before this time, war is declared by the United ■ fates againfi Spain, Ought w e not to think well both of the $ of the contest, and cf the value of rhc>»oattcr in dispute, before we abandon so fair an »ppuM«ni iy oi adding America to the num ber of our allies. Sc ot eftabliihing our itfiu. encc there, upon the only durable founditi on of alliance?, mutual (acrificcs, and mutual be nefiis ? The trivial importance of all ihat could be gained by excluding the neutral» traders ttom the enemy's commerce, has already been (hewn. No words arc recui. red to prove, that the blanks occafioncd by some sailors leaving our service will speedily be filled up ; that the number of Britilh Tea men at the end of a given period will be greater, in confeqirencc of cur breeding for the American navy, just as the number of our people is on the whole augmented by the demand for men, which our colonies create. We may feel some inconvenience in the mean ti ne, from the progress it the enemy’s commerce, and the defertibn ot our Teamen to neutral, powers.
