Coi.fidernig, tliat we have right to 1

in thole mcafures, in their power, to :
induce th ir iubjeds to ohft’ ve the trea- j

well as to re (Rain the infamous cnpiui.y 1
oi those who, contrary to the law ot na- j
tions, supply the revolted, by means of j
a trade, the extinction of which rests up
on our personal responsibility towards
the emperor of the French r
Considering, that fur from having ob
tained tne end, wnich vve expected trom
this frank and honest conduit; the ex
aftriei, ,)four principles, in favour of
neutral fi igs, is betomc among many, a
tiiHiUiitlto loci’ rapacity, and tliat it j
rciuits from the papers found on board
the prize* lately condemned, that the
greater part cf the neutral vcS’-'s coming
from the rebel ports, ate very carefully
and very regularly cifpatched ior the
port* of Dominica, Tobago, St. Thomas,
Lurrucoa, ‘Jamaica, IJuvannu, Batracoa,
San jago tie Cuba, idc itfe.
Considering, that the custom-house
officers, in many ports of the United
Stale* of America, have the impudence
officially to dispatch neutral velfils, for
the ports occupied by the rebels ; and
that, on many occasions of this kind they .
have employed the iigriature of Freuicnt
Jcfferfon, without doubt, d.-ccitfully.
Considering, that from the voluminous
correfpoudence, found in the ships cap
lured iince our decree or the 23d Mcfii
dor, it relults that mary iioul.-s of the
firfl rank in New A'ork, ikiiEdelphia,
Baltimore, See. have, fur a long time,
h. connection with the revolted, ami
-fidrd them conlla.it sup; lies, both of
provilion* and materials tor war oi al
kinds ;
Considering, that the principal fitting
out of neutral vtffels ot war, arid foi
rr.crchandtze, is in the ports of the Uni
ted Stales, to protect this h frmoti:
commerce ; tiiat the brig jane, of Haiti
more, captain Kennedy, armed with fix
teen guns, and coming trom a port oc
cupied by the rebels, was lately taken by
boarding, after a-bloody fight, by the
Fr nch cruizer La Superb;, caput.: Do.

Considering, that it is matter of pub
lic notoriety, that the America, oi ift
guns, the CoumCiieut, of 2i, the Lidos

this kin( , are not only engaged in tins
execrable commerce, but trail! port arms
