He mean to employ to vessel to bring hem from the Mediterranean, which will consequently occasion him much exp- nse.

The female afToids milk longer nan a cow ; the ycung camel's flesh js vh'iiesome and palatable ; and the hair of this animal is finer and more valua i- than 'he best bhwepwool.

Ma. ADAAIS's CORRESPONDENCE COKTIITUEP. To the Printer of the JJottm Patriot. Sirs A few wordi more on the. sub ject of pressing. In strictness, we have nothing to do with the question, whe ther impressments of, seamen in Eng land are legal o illegal. Whatever in iquity or inhumanity that government m-y inflict on their own subjects, we have no authority to call them to an a- count for it. But when they extend tMt power to us, a foreign nation, it is natural for us, and it is our duty as wtll as inttrestj to consider what it is among themselves.-;. " - v.--1' The m'st remarkable: case in which this .subject has been touched in West minster Hall, is in Cowper's Reports page 42, Rex vs. John Tubbs. The report, of the case is very long, and I shall only observe, that the question of the legality of the power of impress ment, was not .before the Court. The question was whether the Lord Mayor had a right to exempt thirty or forty watermen for his barges. Lord Mans field sufficiently expresses his alarm and his apprehension of the consequen ces of starting a quetion relative to this subject, in the following words : " I am v ry sorry that either of the res pectable parties before, the Court, the city of London on the one hand, or the Lords Commissioners bf the Admiralty on the other, have been prevailed on to agitate this question," Sec. . 1 was in hopes the Court would have had an opportunity ot" investigating this point to the. bottom, instead of be ing urged to discuss it so tnstantantane ously," Sec. I - own I wished for a more deliberate consideration upon this subject ; but bting prevented of that, I am bound to say what, my present sen timents are. . The power $f pressing is founded upon immemorial usage, allow ed for ages. If it .be so founded and allowed for ages it cap have no ground to stand upon, nor can it be vindicated or justified by any reason but the safety of the state : and the practice is deduced from that trite maxim ofv the constitu tional law of England, that private mis chief had better be submitted to, than public detriment & inconvenience should ensue. To be sure there are instances where private men must give way tq 'he public good. In every case of press ing, every man most be very sorry for the act, and Fir the necessity whithgives rise to it. It ought therefore to be ex ercised with the greatest moderation and only upon the most cogent neces sity, and thougli it be legal pouter, it may, like many others, be abused in the exercise of it." The case is too long to transcribe but it is worth reading. My remarks upon it shall be short. ,1. Lord Mansfield most manifestly dreaded the question, probably on ac count of the innumerable difficulties at tending it, as well as the national uproar it would most ctrtainly excite. 2. His Lordship carefully avoided the use of the word right. He knew the sense, force and power of words too well to profane th'jt sacred expression, by ap plying it to a practice so loose and un defined, so irregular and capricious, so repugnant to' the inherent, hereditary, unalienable & indefeasible birth rights of British subjects. 3. He calls it a practice and a power, but he doe not even venture to call it a prerogative oi the crown. . . . 4. Ik; doss not tven affi m that there exists such' an immemorial usageV al lowed for ages. He says, " iF it be so founded and" allowed for ages; " The existence of such an immemorial usage nllnwed for aces." was Drobabtv one of ihe principal points he wished to inves-' tigate. ,i ;f 5 He does not affirm. thi, such a custom, usagt, power or practice 'Could be pleaded or given in evidence against Magna Charta. If his Lordship had been allowed time to investigate the sub ject to the bottom, he perhaps' would lothave found evidenceof any such im- memvrial usage allowed for ages. ,He certainly would not have found it allsra ed by any national act or legal authori ty, and without .one or. the-other, how n it1 have said to have been allowed ! Allowed by whom ? By those who com-1 mitted the trespass, and no ptners. xiis Lordship moreover, might have; found, that no custom? srsage, power or' prac tice could be alledged, pleaded or given in evidence, in anyf court of justice a y gainst. Magna Cbarta-. , : 6; All the judges allowed that exemp tions, badges and .protections against impressment have been given by. Peers, Commoners, iord Mayors, Lords of ficers of the Admiralty, and as I under stand Lrd Mmsfield, by oflicrrs ofthe navy ...Now what a loose, pndefined, ar bitrary power is this to be" legally; j esta blished, or an immemorial. usage allow ed for ages ? . . '. f. I wonder not that his Lordship dreaded the discussion of it and anih vestigaion of it to the bottom, for he must have foreseen the endless diftlcul ties of ascertaining, defining aud limit ing the usages which wereJmraemorial and distinguishing them - from such as were modern, temporary, usurped and not allowed. i , 8. The counsel for the city had be-, fore observed, that the! legality of press ing, if founded at all, could only be sup ported by immemorial usage, there be ing clearly no statute in force, investing the crown with any such 'authority. , 9. The infinite difficulty of determin ing who were seamen and who were not, must be obvious, and all agree that the power is confined to seamen, and them only. ; .. . : Christian in his addition of Black stone, vol. . I. page 419, says, in a note, Te legality of pressing is so fuljy es tablished, that it will; not now admit of a doubt in any court :of justice," andin proof of this, he quotes Lord Mansfield's opinion, in the case of the King against Tubbsjin the words Ijhave above trans cribed: ' Where, as I think that taking all. Lord .Mansfield says together,, he makes the subject as doubtful as ever, and incumbered with innumerable and insuperable difficulties. . Upon the whole, all I conclude from the conduct of the modern judges and lawyers in England j is, that pride in the navy as got the better of their sense of law and justice, and that the court and county lawyers, as well as ad ministration and opposition, have been gradually endeavoring to unite, for the lasUhirty or forty years, iu sacrificing the principles of justice and law to rea sons of state, by countenancing this breach of arbitrary j power. But let them keep their arbitrary powers at home; not practise them upon us, our ships or seamen. Quinct', April 25, 1809. ! JOHN ADAMS. Jtorefgrt f ntelltgence.4, LATEST from SPAIN.
