GEORGIA REPUBLICAN.
SAVANNAH,
THURSDAY MORNING, April 18, 180?.
The following are the articles under which our
right ofthe free navigation of the Mississippi is
recognized , and the right of deposit allowed :
ARTICLE IV.
ft It is like wife agreed that the western boundary
ofthe United States which feparaes them from the
Spanilh colony of Louisiana, is in the middle of the
channel or bed of the riv< r Miftiflippi, from the north
ern boundary of the fi id Itaies to the completion of
the tbirrv-firll degree oi latitude north of the equator
d .nd his Catholic Majesty has likewise agreed that the
navigation of the {aid liver, in its whole breadth
from its source to the ocean, shall be free only to his
fubjtcfs and the citizens of the United States, unless
he should extend this priv lege to the fubje&s ot
other p >w rs by special convention.’*
Auticle 22. ** The vwo high contracting parties,
hoping that the good cor.efpondence and trjendfhip
which happily reigns between them, will be further
encreafed by this treaty, and that it will contribute
to augment their prefperity and opulence, will in fu
ture to their mutual commerce all the extension
and favour which the advantages of both countries
may require.
And in conftqnence of the ftipulatioos contained in
the fourth article, bis Catholic Majesty will permit
the citizens of the United Slates for the (pace of three ;
years from this time, to deposit their merchandizes
and effects in the port of New-Orlear.s, and to export
them from thence without paying any other duty
than a fair price for the hire of ihe (lores, and his
Vlsjedy promises either to continue this permission,
if he finds during that rime that it is not prejudicial to
the interests of Spain, or it he should not agree to
continue it there, he will affipn to them, on another
part of the banks of the Mifftfiippi, an equivalent
establishment ”
Bordering for a great extent on the Miftifiippi, and
embofoming fome of its nohleft waters, the United
States have a claim in juflice in nature and in the laws
of nations, to the enjoyment rs a free navigation of
its waters to its month. Our right in it <vas a joint
right, one which might be enjoyed without detrimeni
to the other proprietors, and which required nor the
fan.Tou of a treaty to make it ours, though for its
fafety this might be requisite. { A particular lord
* who has a neck of rhat projeds into a river,
(hall th.tre eflablilb a toft, though he 16 nor at a
‘farthing’s expence In prefervinp the river, and the
* convenience of navigation. ’This is a manTctt ex
‘ torrion coutrary to the natural liw ot nations: For.
( a division and property tn lands can deprive nobody of
‘ the riirht of p assage, whin not the least injury is don:
1 him, or the territory by which we paisT Vattel, ch. 9
§ 104. This right has never been denied us, and we
a.-e at this moment in the enjoyment el its full
exercile.
But it is otberwife with the right of deposit
Much as such a right is rrquifite for the accommoda
tion of our fellow citizens, it depends on treaty
alone. No one will pretend that we claimed any
right of the kid until the negociation of the treaty
containing the articles above quoted. 1 his right,
however, is new as full as it we had obtained it bv
immemorial pofleftion. * Who can doubt that trea
ties are in the number of thoT things that are held
sacred bv nations ? ’They determine the moil impor
tant affairs ; they give rules to the pretensions of
sovereigns; they ought to make known the rignts aj
nations, and to ft cure their molt precious interests.
Chap. 15. § 2tp. ‘He who violates treaties, violates
at the ftme time the law of nations, fj 224. How
far, t ‘en, has this treaty been violated ? by whom
has it been violated ? and what fleps are authorifed
by justice and the laws of nations to procure redress ?
Spain has stipulated to us the pofleftion of rbe right
of deposit at New-Orieans, for three years abtolure
ly. li, during its continuance, the finds that right
detrimental to her iruerells, {he has engaged to at*
sign us, *on another part of the banks of the Miftis-.
fippi, an equivalent eftafalifbment.’
1 his right of denoiit has continued without inter
ruption from the time of the treaty ott79sfirfl went in.
to operation until the present occlusion. At this time,
we find the officer of the Spanish government at that
place, declaring that the right of dtpofit had been
prejudicial, and as no special orders bad been given
by his court for its continuance, he thought his duty,
and accordingly closed the port. At the fame time
he felt not himfelf clothed wiih authority to appoint
(he equivalent place of though acknowledge*!
our right to it.
Every one will concede that a fair conftru&inn of
the treatv would be the following * ‘ If it is found
prejudicial to the interests of to continue to
the United States their right of deposit at New Or
leans flie will aftign fome other portion of her Mis
flippi territories for their use. which shall pollefs at
ltaft equal facilities in promoting their navigation,
and after realonable notice of such appropriation, will
confider herfelf at liberty to occlude the port of New
Orleans, and prevent any furthercontinuance of their
traffic with its inhabitants The port has beer,
closed without this aftignment, or notification* and
thus far, the treaty has Aeen decidedly infracted.*
But there is no to believe that this has been
the a<sl, or bv the knowledge of the sovereign ; the
intendant declares, that he relted his authority for
the tranfa<ffion on his interpretation of the treary
alone. The Spanifli and French ministers pledge
themselves that it was not done by order or conni
vance of either of their courts ; the Spanifli minifier
notoriously the friend of America, receives new honors
from his king, as teiiimonials of fatisfadtion at his
conduct ; and the Fret ch appear preparing to add
more weight to their diplomatic relations in our
country However much fome may be difijoled to
find in these circumflances. nothing but refined policy ;
we cannot but view them as testimonials of friendly
indentions ; and the whole together, as a body of ir
re tillable evidence that the doling of the port is a
measure of the intendant alone.
In case of the breach of a treaty, * the ally offended
or injured in what relates to the treaty, may then
chufe either to oblige the perfidious ally to fulfil his
engagements, or declare the treaty broken by the
violation of it;’ cb. 13, § 240.7 and this
for obvious reasons, for it would be fully abfnrd to
suppose one parry was bound to a cc*rra& wfiich
rbe other refufed to fulfil. But this certainly thould
be exercised with moderation and diferetion, and it
is added with the greatest justice, • prudence and a
wife policy must direct what ought to be done on
the occafion.* Should 1 the United States declare
the Spanish treaty void, every claim to th*; right of
deposit in any of its territories mutt at once be
oiven up. Persisting to claim a mutual adherence to
The treaty, is requiftte to the exiftecce of the right.

SIRS, *
THE defence of mr. Rofs’s toast, which you t
have been p’eafed to submit to the consideration off
the public, through the channel of your paper, doej s
very litrle honor to your tmd. rftandings. and at tin £
fame time places the fubjeft you advocate, in ave-; <r
abfonent point of view. Your defence fully betrays ,
that the influence of faction has thrown an impenetra -
ble cloud over your nitnds ; your imaginaiions ar e
oblcured by paflions, and you are determined not t o
look intn that path where reason prelides in the teto -
pie of virtue : you oblerve in ycur reply, ‘we feel .1 ><
particular obligation to defend Lhetu,’ alluding to to e
toalts—l concede, firs, that if you had not been 1 o
premature in your euiogiums you would not have brt a.
obligated to defend them ; but as the converse is tl e
fatft you are unqueltionably bound fay the obligatiot is
of duty, as well as by every foiid principle of hums itii
underltanding, for once you have been compelled to*
yield to the impulfe of neceflity ; and have rt'-
luftantly fullered a fact to predominate over yotir*
prejudices. You acknowledge that * our lights on
the Mifljftippi are held by treaty ; and futher, * that
another bit of parchment has conveyed these fame
rights, notwithlfanuing the claim of this country, to*
another power’: though you are driven to acknow
ledge, that our rights on the Mifiufippi are held by
treaty, yet you wilh us without any demands, or - re
fufal on the part of Fiance, to commence hofti'mieff.
immediately against her, conftquently plunge ours elves
in a definitive war, and incur by our impolicy alii,
the concomitant :evils attendant on the fame. These.
deli es, meflrs. editors, at once furniflbes the public sl
criterion for the purity of your motives, the tender
affe&ion you poflefs fer the rising prosperity of your
coun.ry, and the veneration you feel tor it. As
fertility of your mature nnderftandings, have pointed,
out anew and expeditious mode to arrive vat the pin
nacle of information ; fuffer me to make use of ther
fame instrument, and propound a quellion or two to*
you. If we were to declare war agaiult France,,
would not tne expences exceed the fum-neceflary
make the purchase, wich you intimate in your reply ?
and by appeasing the gjll of would it uotn
prevent the effuiion of human blood? The difference
which you pretend to draw by Tnifferions rules only’
known to yours Ives, betwixt pofleftion acquired- byr
right of conquest, and ny parchment, is ridiculous r
you observe, pofleftion held by right of parchment:
when violated,, lhoultf only have parchment redress 2
i his is a Angular argument indeed ,• at all events, iu:
is an uniuft one. The weapon is t:oo feeble,firs w
editors, to aid you in your present controversy ; byr
the very import of your words, it mud be inferred,,
that you confider, if a nation is legally jpoftefled off
property ‘by right of parchment,* and that vetted andi
acknowledged right is grofsiy in vaded, they fhouldl
have no other redress than b’y parchment : Ibe
■sophiftty of your arguments is o bvious, for you place
arising nation in a worle fiteation than an individual*
who, if his rights are invaded., and peaceable redrels:;
denied, may resort to a more effective means foir
their defence. You further confider the foUntcity
of treaties entered into & ratified by tompettnt pow
ers, a nullity. This will nc.r do, meflfs. editors, forr
if your arguments were con;edt, they would cut up by
the roots the laws of nations reciprocally ettablifheTf
for the salutary eradicating injustice ; oir
at lead, confining the iffrfu 0 f rapine within fome
bounds. I am now firs„ done with your reply. J
