intention not to, consider them as enemies ;
and in point of fact, that France really was
the common enemy of both countries.
His houor the Judge,' on this nice and de
licate question, acquited himself fn such a
manner, as to. confirm the high opinion en-;
tertained of his ihtrgrity .and abilities; and
after a vc yT .ingenious reply to he argu
ments made use of by the advocates on both
sides; prouounced a decree, that, under the
existing circumstances- has given satisfaction.
not only to the parties concerned, but to tne
public at lare.. It was in substance, that
" The Claimants should have three months
time to produce further proof as to the fact of
any agreement between the British Govern
ment and the inhabitant of St. Domingo,
(previous to lie present capture) excepting
t'hem from the general state of hostility.
If such prof is brought forward, the pro
perty ofco'irse, will be restored to the claim
ants ; if not, it will be. condemned as legal
prize to "the ciptors.

never do otherwise.
However to come to a conclusion whate
