SATURDAY AK R i t - 2 , t S,- j ■ A ’ ping the Devil r f und”-with a vengeance, lie claims t: do a thing indiredlv, which by his own 6onfelfiofi‘he has no right to do directly, The Prince puts ns in mind o* a magiffirare in these parts, who was once called on fur a learch.warrant for a cow which the owner had loft, This worthy man anxious to do his duty fe cundutn ertem , according to' rule, naturally went to his book of forms, tc hunt out a Jearch warrant /or a cow. The iccorder of forrtis had, however, given no finch warrant—and the only one which the magiftr*te could find, opposite to this case, was one to i«*rch for a 'Jur k*V* The unfortunate jus tice v\’as at a complete non plus. He would not draw a warrant for a Turkey, for it was a cow which the owner was in quest of • and he could not draw a warrants for a cow’, for there was none fiuch in the hook of forms; and the conth.fi >n [was as plain as the nofie in a' fate, that it did not * ivc ! him a right to draw one.— At last however a very hap py idea relieved him from' this perplexity. “ I will tell you whit, (laid hc ; ) tho’ i cannot give you a learch wairant for your cow, I will give you •ne for a turkey and you know in looking for a turkey , you may come acrofis your cow.” j It is just fio with his Roy al Highness; in hunting for a turkey, he may light! upon his cow. In a learch for gunpowder or enemy’s goods, he may chance to rind a British seaman. If the Prince Regent means that this power been Cxercificd in this way, he again fays the thing which is r.ot. Numerou are the cases in which their recruiting officer has gone on board ofourfihips , tor no other purpose than tc cribbage men. They have taken them in row-boats ; they have taken them ini fliips where they must hive! known there was no cargo- They have known the cargo , beh-ie hand— yet have they gone on board with an a vov ed design of getting men, a id**truly adted on that de-| yfign, by making the crew mutter immediately on thr I deck,, without taking an\ care of the cargo. Arii what is worse, they *hav< t t ’aken fucb men.,as they lik 'd, without any care whe ther they were Britiili or Americans ; taking them, not because « B'itilli seamen were found therein,” but because it suited their inter oft or caprice to take them. Ihe fad>s, therefore, are moll diredlly in the teeth of his Royal Highneis’s own rule. The rule itfelf is new one ; it is a mere interpola* ticn or. laws t f nations ; it m even a breach of common fienle —** found them.”— Mark the oonfequence ! Either the Prince Jiegent is to take men without know ing them, or alter he gets on deik he has a right to take the neerftary means to find them, that is to fay, to fiearch for the men in their ■births, to inspect the roll of the ship, muster them on dei k 6c leek in their brogue .or their conversation lor some clue to aid in his rc fearches. If he takes them .without knowing them,' there is an-end of his rule ; ,for he takes them without finding them to be wh it he is in quest of, « British fica men.’ Ifhe fearchesthem lor means to detedt thcmfielves, he has no right to do it--the purpose for which he went there, proves that he has no iuch right. He went there to search the cargo, not to .learch the men. Hu has nothing to do with the men. You have no right to do that indircdtly, which you can not do diredtly. “ What right have you to impress (lays Cobbctt,) when you have no right to flop for the ourpofie of impressing ? I mr»y enter •nother’s house to fiearch for a stolen coat, and if I find there my hat, I may icize it as well as my coat, having the authority lor the firft ; but be it oh- 1 served that (for you) to Aral the hat is as criminal as (for ne) to keal the coat.” In learching for the coat, you may take the hat, if you. jfind it, because if you had (known the hat was there, you bright have got a war* rant tor it, but you have no right to take any thing elfie, winch you could net have got a warrant for. Thus, | ,n I-arching f<>r contraband, you may take enemy goods; but yx>u have no right to take 1 man, for which \ou had •ot and could not have had my warrant at all. 4 '**"*'* —• 4 What a curious huv of - nations wc ilioolcl h ivc ; r First, the neutral flag i s to , he free, with two re!h idiotis I only - f And next, in enfare t ing one of these reftridtirnfs •you put on ns many new • ones as you please The •law of nations would indeed t he a mere nose of wax, to ibe thus turned nod twilled about, as avarice or ambition r would make it, i CUN* BOATS. 1 It is a f.idt that although these vefiels have bee.i rcdi -1 culed by felf conceited ig > noiance as wholly jncflcc • live, yet our molt experien - ced naval commanders have declared them fully compe- I tent for the purpose for which they were originally •intended, to wit, the defence of our hays, rivers and hv -1 hors. r I he gallant Decatur vvhr> has proved their utility before lripoli, recommends • tliem a molt efficient means of offence or defence in port, and no one ever con tended that they were, hr viccablc to cruize againfl aq enemy at sea.
