AMERICAN WAR.
This war, as appear# by
•advices frern America, has
been further marked by eur
iuccefs by la«d and •ur fail- j
ure by fca. I will call
it disgrace ©r defeat; but an
American Sl#©p ©f War has
*9W defeated an Ecglifli
bl©op ©f War Ur the fkond ■
time. S© that ©winjj to
so ne cause «r other, thj A- ;
mtrican Navy up«n rhinal j
terms, really fssms to h\v«
gained the fuperi©rity. In
the meanwhile, howereri it j
is Rated, that, threu gh c\:e
means of the Mediation of
Kujfja, an opening for a nlp
gociation for peace is likely
to take place: But from tht I
language of ©tir vile nevvi
paper editors wiiieh. appear
to hate the Americans for \
no ether caafe than that they
ar# not flavc«, little hopes
leem to exist of a happy fe- 1
In It. The article t© which
I allude Was in the following
words;
“ Captain Bedford, as we
1 dated ye’tcrday, has brought

the Ruffian government, the
warmest admiration of its
prowess, but we have a
love for «ur pre-emi
nence that cannot bear to
have it even touched by a
foreign hand. Raffia,
can hardly be fappefed to be
very atvetle to the princi
ples ofthe armed neutrality, I
and that idea a!®nc would be
fufficient t© make us Oeclinc

never to commit our naval

the noisy advocates far war
With us, th« pretended pat
riots of America and the re

papers n® longer (peak the
i language of boalf and me*
, nacc. Fear prevades their ;
towns on the lea coast—A

' bueneds of a war entered ia
i ft> t® # ratify the palTions of
hatred and envy yf England
and to propitiate France.”
And, is this the language
jof peace, is it? It would ,
leem, that writers like this
feanid nothing so much as
an end to that war, which ;
has already brought m>ir«
difgracc upon the Biiiiib'
j navy, than all the wars ir.
which wc were ever before
j engaged. If would really ;
i seem that these men were j
; pail to endeavor to cause au
I American Navy to be crea
ted. Whit ether object
can they hav* in view, in
thus goading the Americans
cm the hoilihty ami hatred,
| 1 caneot eonceive, I am
• fare, that the Tints, news
- paper; by its (enfelefs abuse
of Ale: Million and the
Cowgrels staid its infelent
and contemptuous language
towards the Amirican peo
ple, did much in producing j
this fatal war. Paine has j
fa id that it is the la 7 feather
that break* the horse’s back ;
and vrauld it be any won
der, if thus base print, by
that inf#lence, thole taunt
ing menace::, in which it
dealt & few months before
the war was declared, was
the hijtfeather upon occali
on ?—lt fp©k* ©f the Anu
ricans and their navy in a
j llrain ©t contempt not to be
| endured. It told them that
| their boasted Nervr vvomU be
, towed <nf© Ililriac in n
' »»©nio from th< ©ate of their
' declaration or w* r , j t
(that it hated other enemies
jof England 5 but that Mr.
i Madilon and his nari©n
j were unworthy ©f any thing
! but c©meniot. It was im
jpulfible.lor any nation f©
I P'H up with this. Libels
j the uiolf aitrociotn were
j publiihed agaiuA Mr Madi
ion and all his brother offi
cers in rbc government.
The ©aval ©fficcrs of Amer
ica were spoken ©fas if they
were dogs. In that c«un
; L*y Tse people have fomethiag
to lay as 10 public affairs ;
and is it n*y that
luck publication* should
produce an effetf: amongst
thee©, v/ 10 read every thing,
and who well u»derftand
i - y ha( they tead ? Tie Pie-
wc find kas inffantly,
1 and with great avidity, ac
j cepud the mediation of Ruf,
j f « is a very plain man.
W ears 6r 11 ltd to wear a grey
coat, and his r©.pow<leird
hair vtry smooth. He had
, n > big wig, nor any g©wng,
or any ulher fine thi»g a
; bout hi«i. But he ftomi to
kiiow w y well what he is
about. Indeed, all he has !
to know, is, what the peo
ple wijh, and that he kn©ws
by their v©tcs. He knows,
that they hate war, as the
1 gr«it and Luitfui pirettc ©f
taxation 3c arbitrary p©wer ;
and to pleale their., he mufl
avail hiinfelf efc/«ry thing
that offers even a ckaac© of
putting an end t© tbs war'
on just and honorable terms.
But, as you lee, our hir«-
• lings exclaim agaiafl: the ac
ceptance of any mediation j
even the mediar:*n of Ful
fil, who has committed her
fleets to our hands. For
once let us hope that theft
| men do not speak tht lan
guage of the government, j
If vve refufe the mediation
of ©ur only ally in the war:
if vre refute the metution of
that power, who wc fay, is
' about to deliver Europe, and
us from the fears ©f Bona
parte, what will that power
what will the world ia) of j
our cause ?—We are not, it i
feeins, " to commit our'
naval rights to tne media- j
tion of any power.” But
th is is not propoled. The j
Americans do not dispute
any tiling heretofore ac
k.iowhdgtd by them, or
contended for oy u?, as a <
right. i lie tfii ig vve con- .

l<iy it never was before prac

iho writer on public law •
| no principle ever laid
,down by fetch writer; by
| no recognition of any jtaw
•r_.« by no pactic«, by no
■allertipn of ouri is
j this acl jn (lifted. In flrort
| they lay, that it has neither

tor its bafi'i. if they afTart
j m this refpc&, what is not
j iroe, why not prove it ?
! Why not cite us the book,

; principle, the precedent up
lon which we ground this

to do this; and untill it be
done, what impudence it is
; to isy we pofofs such a
! right ?
! Agreeably to all the prtn
ciplefQtjuriiprudericc, whea
a man claims a right to do
j which is, on the face of
! the thing, a treflpafs upon
another man, he muil firflt
* prove his right. There may
, be in John a right to pass a
cross the field of Junes ;
hut having now for the fir ft
i . •
I time, begun to exercise this
right, it is incumbent upon
him t oprove it in the way
of defence again!! an attion
J « and, it he can*
I rint prove it j if he can (how
neither written deed# noc
i bring evidence of precedent
or custom, he fu/Fers tU a
trefpalTci. Apply this to
the cate before u*, and will
any one fay, that, in order
tojuftify a war for such a
practice, we ought not to
produce something in prof
jof our right ? lam for giv
ing op no naval right of
England; and, if any one
will show me any treaty, a
ny declaration of any power,
and recognition, any maxixrt
cf any writer upon the pub
lic law, or, any cujlom or
precedent of any power in the
whole world, to jufti/y our
imprelfrncnt of perfonk on

our lafl foot ought to be fi
