Cj4) 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.

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.
