In those orders the French government seeks to justify - or palliate "its own unjust bv. immiting to Great Britain principles which she never professed, and prac tices which never existed. His majesty is ac cused of a systematic and general disregard of the law jot nations recognized .bj civilized , .states, and more particulailfof an unwarrant able extension of the right bt blockade ; where as his majesty may confidently appeal to the world on ,.bis uniform respect . for neutral rights, and his general and-scrupulotis ad herence t6 the law of nations without conde scending to contrast his conduct in these par ticulars, with that of his enemy ;and with re gard to the only specific charge, ft is notorioH9 that he has never declared any ports,'to be in at state oP blockade without allotting to that object a foir.e sufficient to make the entrance into them manifestly 'dangerously. f By suchallegationsj unfounded as they are, -the enemy attempts to justify his pretentions of confiscating as lawful prize all produce of English industry or manufacture, though it be the property of neutrals ; of excluding from his harbors every 'neutral 'Vessel which has touched at any port of his majesty's dominions though employed m an innocent commerce, and of declaring Great Bntatrrto III lis crpinion ThejhbnoTof FhS: hlel ie Unitedtaterivas-fr'tr r - - a 1 - v HkL 1 iai ' . T" i VtMiiaii auiuicrun uvc-Hupject ot his ' jaiio, annno nao, sent him a aorney to act for lm-am'an ol ummpa,?.' of blockade 'though his own naval potts and arsehals are actually blockadedrand he is un able to station any naval force, whatever before any .port of theOnTted Kingdom. Such,,princ1ples are in. themselves extrava tand repugnant to the law1 of nations 1 and the pretensions founded on them, though professedly-directed solely against Great Bri tain, tend to alter the pnicti?ef war amongst civilized nations, and utterly, to "sfibvert ihe rights and independence of -neutral powers. V The wuWrsignjd carmotthrefore ' believe' that the enemy will eVer seriouslv attempt to enforce such a system. If he should,; they are confident tnat the good" sense of the American gbveronwnj, itin perceive the fatal consequen ce of such pretensions to neutral comtneTcey and that its .spirit and regard to ntItHal honor WJt prevent itajscouiescence In such palpable violations of its rights, and injurious incroav-h-ments on its interests. ' If however the enemy should carry, these threats into executienratid Jf neutral "nations contrary to all expectation, should at qui e see in such usurpations, his majestv might pro bablv be compelled, however rehictandy, to retaliate in his jost tie-fence, antl to adbjttv in regard to the commerce d( neutral rations with his eneiies the same measures which L tiaose shall have permitted to be enforrt d a gainst their commerce .with his subjects. The commissioners of the United States, will therefore feel, that at a moment when his ...w-wv, uiv iiuu iivi uccp St tt. seat ot government since wases(ablhhei X found, said Mr. R. that his warrant, 9 his"name VVm.
