In the bndy of those decrees and in the de- clataiions alluded to, you will find, sir,express avowals that the principles mi which they were founded, and the provisions.contained in them, ire wholly new, unprecedented, and in direct cont'adxtion to all ideas of justice and the prin ciples and usages of all civilized n&ions. The French government did not pretend to say that ar.y one of the regulations contained in :hese decrees was a regulation which France had ever been in the previous piaclce of. They were consequently to be considered, and were indeed allowed by Fi ante herself to be, all of the'ftf, parts* of a rrewsynem of war fare, unauthorised by the established laws of nations. It is in this light in which Fiance herselfhas placed her decrees, that Gr.*at-Brkain is oblig ed to consider them, The submission of neutrals to any regula tions. made by. France nuihunscb by_tj)c laws of nations and practised in former wars, will never be complained of by Greri-Britain ; but the regulations of the Bet lin and Milan decrees dc, iand are declared to violate the laws of na tions and jhe ngh s of neutral’s, for the purpose of attaGh.tr.gi ihtough them, the resources of Great-Britam.

In a commercial view it is net less objectionable, as it cannot fail to prove de structive to neutral commerce. A-. an enemy Greut-BritaLn cannot trade with/France. Nor does France permit a neutral to come into her' ports from Grett-Britain- The- attempt of Grcut-Br’rrairt xo fotec our trade through her ports, would have therefore thecommercial ef fect of depriving-the United States altogether of the market of' her enemy fur their piuduc-.- tiurts. and of destroying their value in her mar ket by a surcharge of it. Heretofore, it has : fceen the usage of belligerent nations to-carry on their trade through the interventions of neu trals;’and-this had the beneficial effect of ex tending to the former the advantages of peace, while suffering under the calanriries of war.— To reverse this rule, and to extend to nations at peace the calamities of war, is a change as nov el and extraordinary as it is at variance with justice and public law. Against this unjust system, the United States entered, at an early period, their solemn pro test. Thev considered it their duty to evince to '.he World their high disapprobation of it, and they have d me so bv such acts.as -were deemed' most consistent with the rights and the policy of the nation-. Remote from the contentious scene which desolates Europe, it.has been their uniform object to ovoid becoming a party to the war. With this view they have-endeavoted to cultivate friendship wi fi bo'h panics, by a sys tem of conduct which ought i-o have produced that effect.. They have done justice to each party in every transaction in which they have been-separately eng .ged with iu They have observed the impartial', y which was due to bo'iq as belligerents standing on equal ground, in no ji-.s ance given a prefere.tre toei- havir.g ther at the-exper.ce of the other. They have borne too with equal indulgence injuries from both—being willing white it was possible to im* them to casualties inseparable from a cause of .war; and not a deliberate intention to viola e their rights ; and even when that inten tion could not be mistaken, they have not lost sight of the ultimate object of their pci cy. In the measures toAvnic’n tney have been compel led to resort, they have in all tespects main tained pacific relations with both parties. The alternative presented by their lute ucis, was of fered equally to both, and could opetate on neither, no longer than it should persevere in Excuse me, sir, if I express tnv wish as ear- j its aggressions on our neutral rights.
