' If the late rencontre between hia Majesty's ship Leopard aiid the American frjgateChes- , apeake is to be Construed ;uio an act ol uo tility," the Commander on that station ia a lone responsible tor the. consequences. The order issued by Admiral Berkeley for search ing the. American ship will be found in an other partf our paper ; and as it enumerates the causes and provocations which hare led to such determination 011 his part, th pub lic Will be enabled la jude of ttie propnety o'f bis conduct. It appears from the ordr, that ireqdent deseriions look place from the liuii.u udron in inc Clteaike ; liiiitse-v-srrl of ilia men entered on board the Amer ican'frijjatc,; thatthty paraded thejown of Norfolk, muckinf "and defvinn the liritish ipCTiccrs; that apjjficaiion 'for giving them up J VU made by tuc Umish Consul, at well as . the Captoins cf tne ships from twhicb ,tleyi deserted, both to the. Ma igisstrs- tea ot Norfolk and the officer who recruited for the Chesa peake, and that no redress or satisfaction was obtained. In consequence of this refusal on llie put of the American Magistracy and ' Officers, Admiral Ceiktley'iasued his orders tft the ships tinder, his command to search, the Chesapeake for the deserters, .in case they should meetwith her at sea, and with out the. limits of ,tb jurisdiction of the U., Statetf The msnnerin whici tbeordtrwas directed to be carried into execution was as ' ' mild and conciliating as it could well be, and tit little calculated to produce contumacy or, resistance. It contained a positive injunction that the American shoulJ be permitted to search the British ships of war tinder AdrnU. ral Berkeley's command for dtser'ters, if he 'had reason to suppote thattny were harbour ed on board them. The order too was to be shewn to the Commander or the Chesapeake, previous to any attempt to enforce it, and a , reasonable dime, of course, allowed for his determination. " . -V This is the precise state oi.the cae,' That the American Captain snd the Magis tfates fit, Norfolk acted, if not illegally, yet certainly against tbe spirit and principle of that kind pf iindertanduig which prevailed betf r.cn the two countries cannot, wc think, b'e denied.' .Whether. Ad. Berkeley acted -'-right its adopting inch a decisive line fpro- ccedinqf in another question, and to be deter fafced upon much broader principles. " ' ,'' ' ', , ' TtavtlUr, . The Editors of the Ministerial Papers have, for theprvWnt, agreed that the affair ft the Ameitii frigate shall be 'decided by ' the Law of Nations.
