TANARUS, U. P. Charlton,
From the Charleston City Gazette.
No, I.
The pretence under -which it ha\ bz"n
attempted to justify or exrus, the con
duct of the British ship of war Leo
pard, is unfounded .
XH 1 > qucrflioTr Iras been made lire
Libje£t of feme difeuffion in private
1 circles, and it feenis that, in fome of
the gazettes of Bollon, the validity cf
this pretence has been urged. Among
American citizens, this is rather a bu
fitiefr: of fenti.n int than opinion ; for
he muff; have no feeling for his coun
try, who can deliberately (late the pro
pedition, or endeavor to support it.
t.k-.it the ccr.dufl of ihe British coni
mender, (for I will not yet call it tht
aU of the Britifli Government) was ;
! either juftifiable or excufeable—his
feelings muff be anunical to this coun
try whole own inversion (hall fuggeff
the idea ; and he mull be grossly ig
norant ol the law of nations, who (hall
aifert it as founded on the proviuons
of that code- Bat if it tfere really a
qudtion&ble point, I (hould hold no
American citizen excused, who could
ju hfy or palliate the act. Admit ihui
our government had a fled erroneoufh .
coal'd any citizen of this country, pos
felling the ue.aduUerated feelings o
man, behold- with fitch coolness, the
! ffr.tighter of his fellow-citizens, as t;
i e. :oire the defender of those who
r fmrd tilr'rr oioou. >u y--’i ,, o of q... - j
I iionable law ? —There is- undoubted
! ly, an error of the heart, and not b!
I the hcad^which leads to this. I will
i not condemn, but, on the contrrry, I
will excuse a Britifii fubjeQ, who (ha!
hold this opinion, and who shall at
tempt this defence, provided he doe
not infull the public feeling by an os 1
tematious display of that opinion :
and I will do it on the Vcrv fume prin
ciple on which I will condemn an A
inencan citizen for the fame conduct.
The love oi country is imbibed not i;
this hour or that, but from the bo for
to which infancy bangs and by which
it is nourtfhed, till age is repoied it,
the narrow tnanfon of the grave, and
such a feeling cannot and ought not
to beeradicated from the human bread
hy the trap and of a few miles or the re
fidence oi a moment. 1 should no’
more highly efteetn a Britifb fubjedi
who ffiould become, on this event,
the clamorous accuser of his country,
but I (hoaid much rather find him her
rjtodeft apologist, if the public feeling
did no?, at the* moment, render it in
decorous, 1 should much rather a
doptfuch a man ts my feilow-ciuzen,
when, according to the laws and con
dilution of the country, he fhnuld be
entitled to that privilege, than it his
pretentions were founded on the dis
regard of what I confidcr a holy pre
judice, if not a found natural feeling.
But our national honor is insulted and
the public family has been murderous
ly bereaved of fome of its members ;
and can any one who connects bn
perf >nal honor with the honor of his
country, embrace the spoiler; or any i
worthy member of this beloved family,
lick the blood of bis brethren from the
hands of the flayer. The demand of
the persons laid to be mutinous Brit
ish teamen, was unauchorifed by the:
laws and unprecedented in thehiftoryf
and pradltce of independent nations.!
While th?y were on our fhorcs and’
only fubjett to the civil authortty, at
the fame time entitled to legitimate
protefcdion, their furreader was fotbid-i
111 t ellige ncer.

den by the laws and cenftitutioti of
our country, and when they had sur
rendered that prote6V:on at cur felici
tation, and become subject to military
law, they were fftcured by the üblic
faith attd the honor of our flag. The
executive, against whom this attack 13
p-rjncipaUy levelled, had ne*‘ -m any
thing to do wnn tk j s- :or
ing to a dignified and proper ex<‘rcife
of his powers and difeharge of his du
ties. Ihe public honor has fullered,
but not irreparably. If these feamet*
iiad been furrertdered, the blot wou‘
have been eternal. A.s it is, we b
uot confen ed to public da'honor,
bad we surrendered these men,
flTouid have preclaimed our own
grace and have become not the i
ed objebls of violence, but the
fubiruluve voluntary vafi'als of p
CIV
No. 11.
IF any right to make this demand f
on the law of nations, exist, it will be fc
the writers on this subject. That offender,
have escaped from the justice of the count;,
which their crimes have been committed,
fotne times furresdered by one independent n-.
lion, ÜBon the application of another, I admit.
But I deny that their furrenderis ufany inftar.ee
a right, and I aHAt that it is unprecedented,
according tc the gen -.v! law of nations, as un
aftefted by treats:? or local and particular cm.
camftances, except in relation to crimes which
violate all public fectrity,” au l %hich declare
their authors to be nor the merit's of a narti
ooier government, L 1 of the “human race.”

this fitbietfd, however, they e.irabt be heard in
oppofitlon to the proportion I have'dated,Ter
they are silent to that effetft, but the affirmance
of it is plainly fjpoken by them. Vattef, a wri
ter of as high authority as he is of general use,
page 100, chap. 19, fee. 232, {peaking of the
criminal power cf a nation, fays, “ If a., exile
>r banished mail is driven from his country for
any crime, it does not belong - to the nation in
which he has taken refuge to punilh him for a
fault committed in a foreign country. Fer-na<*
lure rives to mar.Ymd and to nations the right of
punishing on’y for their defence and safety f
whence it follows, that In can.de only punished bg
those he has offended.” That the aSuai pore,: -
ot'a nation will extend further, cannot be de
nied, and examples’ in the hiitory of nations
may be found of its excrcife, but the objetft of
this author, ar.d the objetfl of this er.q'yir) is t n
aficertain the just right - ftich is always co-ex
tenuve with the acknowledged law of nation:—.
and if there ‘is co just righr* to punish, there cast
bo just right to surrender the offender into the
hands of another for punt fitment. The latter 1
is as much an exerciie, of power Over his per
son, as the former ; and cannot he just or law
ful, unlef3 necessary for “ defence aad faft-ty. ”
If a nation have a right to become the-execution
er of mother’s justice in any degr - ?, no gcod
reason can be alledged why the right ftiould bet
limited ; and if it have a rigfk to surrender the
viCiir. to the offended power, it Will have a right
to immolate him. Bril to the generality of the
propofttioii that a nation has no right to pu I’d
offenders whose ennn s have no? been commit
ted within its territorial jurifdicfion, there r.ru
exceptions, and the feare founded on the very
principle which supports the general rule, go
verning this right, that their puuiftiment is ue
ceffary to the “ defence and fefety” of the na
tion in which they take refuge, becaule nccci
fary to the “ defence a-us lafetv of all nations,
as their crimes violate all public fifety,” and
declare them to be “ enemies of the human
race.” Thus Mattel, in continuation, “but thb
reafotj fhmvs that if the justice of each nation
ought in general to be confined to the punifti
ment of crimes committed in its own territories,
we ought to except from this rule, the villians,
I who by the- quality and habitual frequency. , of
their crimes, violate all public security, and denarc
themselves the enemies of the human race. Poi*
- foners, *ffalSis and incendiaries by profeffwn,

I for they attack and injme all nations by tprap

j fafety. Thus pirates are brought to the gibbet
jby the ftrft into whose hands they fall. i the
