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.

There is, however, this diilinc tion, that none of tiieir lea men ere ob liged to continue in our ferviee, or are compelled to rifqne their lives in la cause in which they have no intereif, : but they, on the contrary, serve from j choice, and are rewarded liberally for j iheir induhry—Ours ate pressed into their navy, in many instances, withheld from their country and their families, ami obliged to shed their blood itr a cause, which, to frty the lead, is often i alien to their hearjs, But to reiurn 1n ir ,01 h iCt fp* t* lilLLlliyCiiCL-i. <D SEPTEMBER iB, 1807. Normah M'Leam C? W u liam E. Barnes. 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.
