1 Anew editor has announced him
! felf in the Wafhingtpn Federalist, of
the name of Findlay. We knov/ no
thing of the man but from his own
account of him felf, which in oar o
pinion gives him the right to rank
| with Farit, Coleman and Bfonfon, of
| which he fays he is arrrbiu'uuL. He
lets our wi-h !y ing, and it is therefore
[entitled to the brotherhood. Wheifi
ler it was decent at this time, to revive
old prejudices, it is ret ourhufmefs to
detnrnnne; but as this impertinent
jackanapes has undertaken to give a
ihistory ol parties, in which he pretends
that the prelent adndnir.raiion and its
friends have always been and yet are
enemies to the cor.fiiiu icn, we will
go a little faith r back and (late the
truth. Taking Virginia and Counce
ticut as Randards, let us fee how the
account Rands. —Virginia had ten
times more depreciation than Connec
ticut- ■yei during the whole contefi
there svas not a {ingle company of lo
ries found in the Ifate. During the
revoked or., half the peo/j le h Connect
cm ere torus ; almoli all the principal
traiiors to their country were Con
neFltcut men. So much far die re

cunliiiution.

it is presumed that we are not gainers
by the interchange oi our seamen, but
it is believed that welpofeby the prac

are compelled to rifqne their lives in

: but they, on the contrary, serve from

to the legal quctUon —1 lus i* a right
of war or a general ri ht. ih i latter
it cannot be, or it will prevail in times
of Peace, which wdl not be contend
ed. If a right of war, it will come
under fothe genttralhead. . Rights of
war are either such as the right to f .22
enemies property wherever sou and,
which admits the legality of the aft >f
the neutral, bit opposes to it the iif
perior tight of necessity in the bellige
rent, or they arc such rights as reful:
from a£ts oh the part of the neutral
which are a violation of neutrality.
The lirf. we have fhewnit i hot—-Le:
us therefore enquire w hether it has anv
basts in the latter ? The cue Aon will
be, whether it tends directly to affiT
one of the belligerent nations to em
ploy-the seamen of cither, to a very ?i
----ntitttl extent, in the peaceful bufinef?
of com merce, or agakul the enemies
of the ncutiaL who are nciiher the
fr ien ds'aor enemies of the belligerents?
The indubitable anfwe'r is in the r.e
'gativr, and consequently this view of
the fu’njeQ car. gi> e no affiftar.ee to ths
claim. Vattel, and in this he accords
with all other writer.-, fays,in fpx ki ;t
of the conduß to be oblerved bv &
neutral nation, that the - impartiality
which a neutral fiiition is to observe,
relates solely to war, and includes two
articles; one not to give any fuccours
where there is no obligation, nor freely
to furnilh troops, arms, amtnnnui<>n,
or any t'-iug ol difeCl u)s in war.”—.
Now, these rules arc not at all impin
ged oy the aft complained of, and
therefore the claim founded on it is
no right of war.
T he right of impreffinect on hoard
oiitith veflcls, c...d on ij.nitit gioctnci,
has been ieiiouPy questioned by their
iwn lawyers, an 1 in the celebrated
judgment pronounced on the fubjeci
by the learned judge FoSler, who was
i very lijid, ts not an inexorable, ad
vocate <T the rights and powers of
government, only infers it from the
extrc.fe of the power, and from La
mes which iuppofe its exiutnee, by
retraining its exetcife ; and this viev*
of the iubject is followed by fubfe
queat writers, who, while ihey were
molt learned’, were net diipoffid to
qn.eltion the powers or views of a go
vernment, \vl:ofe patronage they were
enjoying, but were enclined to be its
ingenious defenders * It would th; a
seem that this right, which is ques
tionable under the municipal laws of
lie ct'uiurv, cannot be con ft dv red as
very well dial li-ffied by national law
when, tn its nature, it relates parricu
ia sly to the du’ 7of the fubjebl. I here
is no (L;lute on the fubjeCt of force in
(meat Britain ; and, “cording to the
opinions which have been generally
entertained by our lawyers, were it
autliurifed by the comm >n law,- it
would be the law of this land ; yet, a
learned writer of our own couiitryT
denies that any such exifl in America,.
If it were founded on the general du
ty of the fubjeft, or the nature of the
government, it would, in like manner,
by the laws of this country ; yet iho*
we will recur to the fame authorities,
and be guided by the fame lights of
rcafon as Great Britain, our jurilts
would not be aide toellablith the right*
This view of the fubjed will lead us
very much to doubt the right inde
pendent of the effedl which itsexerctfe
has upon us. Kut, if it be queflionu
ble, when the allegiance of the fubjetl
is entire, when he is under the proiec.
