CONVOY AND ARMING.
Mr. Eppes, from the committee,
(compofed of Meffrs F.ppes, White-
hill, Montgomery, Mumford, Dana,
Defti t, Curts, Winn and W. Alfton)
to whom were referred the amend
ments from the Senate to the bill
concerning commercial intercomte,
Sic. and Mr. Eppes’s amendments
thereto, together with the bill (re
ported by Mr. Burwell) concerning
convoy, fee. reported in part the fol
lowing hi 11,
Authorifmg the Prefident to employ the
public armed vtffels of the II St ites,
in protecting by convoy merchant
veffels owned wholly by citizens of
the U. States, in voyages to ports
or places twith which inUrcoueje is
prohibited by the decrees or orders of
the governments of Great-Britain
and France.
Whereas, where two nations go
to war, tbofe that remain at peace
retain their natural right to purfue
their agriculture, manufadures and
commerce ; to carry tire produce of
their labor to all places belligerent
or neutral, as ufual ; to go and
come freely without injury or mo-
leftariou ; and in fhort, that the war
flaall be to them as if it did not ex-
ift (with the exception only of not
furnilhing to either party implements
of war for the annoyance of the
other 5 nor any thing whatever to a
place admlly inverted by its enemy.)
cfnd whereas, the ftate of war, at
prefent exifting between G. Britain
and France, furnilhes no legitimate
righttoeither to intevruptthe agricul
ture of the United States, or the
peaceable exchange of its produce
with all nations. And whereat, the
government of Great Britain and
France have, at various periods, if-
fued decrees and orders in violation
of the laws of nations, which if fub-
naitted to, mult finally terminate in
Sec.? And be it further enacted,
That the Prefident of the U
States is hereby authorifed to in-
ftrud the commanderi of the pub
lie arm- d vcfffls of the U. S to op-
pofe and defend again ft any fearch,
reftraint or feizure which (ball be nt
tempted upon veffels failing under
convoy, by the commander of any
armed re Tel failing under Rritiflt or
French colors, and to repel by force
any a (Fault or hoftiliry which may
be committed by f’.v h Britifla or
French armed veffel puvfuitVg fuch

can fend f^rth from her hundred

Sec. 4. And be it further ended,
That any Britifla or French aimed
vefT.rt, which Hull be captured in
confequence of fearch, reftraint or
feizure, which fhitll be attempted
upon veffels under convoy, fli.ill be
confidered lawful prize, and may be
condemned in any court of the U.
Stateshaving competent jurifdidion;
ami the proceeds arifing from the
fale of fuch prize, lhall be diftribut-

the ad for the better government of

that the velV.d and cargo are owned

REMARKS.
[We have fcldom read a more
daftardly and illiberal paragraph th tn
the above. It is dailardlv becaufe
it ftigmatifes and refleds upon a
filler State ; and it is illiberal, be
caufe it wantonly afiitils the charac
ter of Mr. Bibb, for expreffing the
wifhet of his cofifituents. Did the
panders of defpotifm indulge them-
ielves only in difeufiing the jnfirc or
injnf ice of a war, they would ieldom
be noticed; but when they draw
invidious diftindions between the
people of one State and thofe of
another, calculated to increafe dif-
cor.tents and further the views of a
faction that defire a feverance of the
Union, we fliall hold it ourhounden
duty to ** !,tjb the rafcetls naked
through the world." Five hundred
Fiench huffirs would do about as
much in Georgia, for the benefit of
their mailer as (we fuppofe) this
wife paragraphift does for the glory
oi his God and the fervice of this
country, though they would not,
like him, cfcapc puniflunent in this
world ; and five hundred Britifh
light dragoons (if commanded by
himfelf) would fcarccly afford him a

U. S. and in violation of their rights.! ing articles, arid 110 other, viz

From the Bofton Patriot.
“ Let yoslr moderation be known to all
men ”
Custom betrays all claims of men
into extremes—it has a powerful in
fluence on their tempers, words, and
adions. For the truth of this we
have no need of any other evidence
than what will arife from an impar
tial view of the hatred and jealflufics
which fliew themfelvcs by indullri-
oully concealing eacli other’s virtues;
eirlier by paffmg them over in artful
filence, or by exaggerating their fail
ings, with a delign to cclipfe their
good deeds. Among no dais of
men does this evil more eminently
fliew itfelf, than among Minifters ft
Politicians. And while we rejoice,
that many of thefe condud them-
felves worthy of the ft at ions they till
we htve much caufe of regret that
of the human bread which areopp-j*
fed to individual ahd national happ ; •
11 elk: This may be evinced by .1 ve
ry fr.perficial acquaintance with the
hiftory of part ages, and a common,
but impartial obferver of the prefent
time, will find fuflicicnt to give addi
tional weight to the remark. If we
draw a veil of charity over the bitter-
ni L of the different denominations
of profeffmg chriftians, and turn fair
attention to the extreme oppofiriou
of politicians, what (hall we con
clude ?—Were we to judge frnn
what we find in mod of our public
papers, wc lhould lay, there is not
fpark of patriotifm remaining in t!.a
nation ; each party treats the oppe-
-fite as though it were an avowed en
emy of national liberty and inde-
pendence, and aduated by theba-
feft and molt unworthy motives,
Onbothfides there are feme defign-
ing and wicked men ; and otheru
who have an unfhaken attaefitnenc
to national virtue and freedom, lit

the point. Wc contend about par
ty names, and approve or condemn
men and meafures, not according to
the principles of jullice and equity,
lint according to the names which
■thofe bea--, who v/ete lire m iverit
and fuppoiters of thofe meafu. es.—•
Such party rage mull be deftrudiVc
of good morals. It renders the heatc
callous to all humane and chrilliait
feelings. It not only deftrnvs all
focial affedion, but that confidence
alfo, which never can be given up,
but at the expence of public and pi i-
vate morals. Let it be carried to
that height of which it is capable,
and we may bid adieu to equity in
j courts of juftice, to parental and lil-
1 ial affedion in families, and to ait
that bears the name of excellence in
j good lociety. For the truth of tin ;
| let the blood of fhughtered million*
witnefs, who have fallen vidims to
its rclentlefs fury. What fhail be
done ? Lot us put on that charity,
which is the bond of perfection, by
which we may hope and believe all
poflible good of others, and learn
with meeknefs and wifdom, to re
prove and forgive their follies.—
Thofe who are governed by the rage
of party fpirit, may call this preach
ing, and fneer at my advice ; and al
fo iKi 11k I thculd tamely furrender
my c.vil and religious liberty into the
hand., of her enemies—but fuclr may
perhaps fee, when it is too late, that
the bitter zeal of party has done
more toward the introduction and
fupport of this evil, than evi-r after
cm be retrieved, by the virtues of
fee born Americans.
The uncharitable rancour of par-
tv fpirit, Itas nothing in it to prclervo
the rights and liberties for which our
fathers bled ; but, has a dired ten
dency to fap their very foundation.
We fee therefore, that tnoderatiem
lhould be the motto of all, who are
friends to their country. Who will
fay, that this is not the voice of rra-
fon ami of God ? Every precept
and promife of the golpcl demands
it. ’Bhe blood of departed heioes,
as well as prefent and future felicity
require it. Could our unborn chil
