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. AUGUST 21, 1807.

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.” bo IX. ft. iGc V; . itLiii v- : (*..55 Aci W dT.ilitClOLa C!l 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.
