But we are tsld that our government has receded from this principle on a former oc cafioß, and had declared it in «ur correspon dence with _ Genet ; but he would a(k any gentleman, does a dSte alter a principle ?

This quedion unfortunately does not reft with our partialities to decide j it not only reds upou tfee powers of Europe whom it may implicate or concern, but upon our own formal recogmtion& acceflion tothe principles of the armed neutrality, nay with the com pltmenr3 expressed by oar government to the Etaprefs of Ruflia for promoting it; upon our ascepting of this principle too at a peri od in which we manifefted that eur love of. justice was in perfeft consonance with that loveof liberty which then engaged us in our revolution ; upon <*ir aceef»tanceof it when it was calculated to operate mod seriously to ,our difudvantage by depriving us of the sup plies which could be thereby kept from us ; ' it msttars not then what date, or in what manner we felinquiflied it, ifhaving formally received it we abandoned it to the disadvan tage and injury of our allies and of other previously subsiding treaties ; we have un qucftionably done this evil, perhaps from no malign disposition—but it was our duty, hav ing committed the error, to reftify it | it had been urged that we had been compelled to abandon the principle or go to <war with Britain ; and we had cholen it as the alter native—what compelled I he w*nld not dis cuss this unhappy argument —we have in flifted a wound on our commercial neutrality, but what is much worse on our national cha rafter, which he feared we (hould sever re cover. Another fiipula,tion is contained in the British treaty relative to provisions, which admits the Britiih, contrary to the law of nations, to seize upon our vessels going to France ; it is said that this aitide does not i admit any new principle, and that indead as ijeing disadvantageous to Ftartce, (he is put «u'a better footing than before 1 He would read the article ; the firft paragiaph of the i3th article after defining the new extension of what (hall thereafter be deemed contra band, proceeds in the fccond thus—" and 41 whereas the difficulty of judging of the " precise cases in which alone provisions and ♦•other articles not generally contraband may " be regarcvd as such, rendets it expedi " ent to pr»vide againd the inconveniences " and rnifundcrftandings which might thence •' arise : It is further agreed that whenever " any such articles fa becoming contraband ac " cording to the cxiding law of nations, fiiall " for that reason befeized, the fame (hall not " be, confiscated, but the owners thereof (hall *' be speedily and completely indemnified ; " and the captors, or in their default the Go• " f rnm:nt uadcr whose suihority they aft, " (lull pay to the mailer, orownerf, of fuc!i " vtffel, the full valu? of al! arjiulcs, wi"h a " reasonable mercantile profi' thareon, toge " ther wiih tlie freight, aud alf>< the demur " rage incident to the detention." Our treaty in the subsequent pj»ra;r ra p',j reeapi _ tulates the ordinary provifiuu for the circum- Fl Itances attending (hips peoceediug through error or inattention, to blockaded ports, but in the above ftjpulations a new principle is foijled into the law of nations, far which we rc are to receive the full price of aur articles and ~fe a reqfonable mercantile profit ; and after doing tl this we are told, that we place our ally in a A better condition than (he was before—that the power of her enemy to seize our snips, which are protested by the law of Rations f 0 from seizure having nothing contraband on ai . board, when going to the ports of abellige- tl rent power not blockaded—is an advantage W to that power so deprived ; we might admit' L what is not a faft, in the firil it! dunce that a ' provisions are contraband, and we accept c< coiripenfation for our facrificc of the univer fa! law ; we admit the inhuman and horrid ft principle, that one nation has a right to darve p another at its discretion, and while thus con w niving at, and profiting by the collusion, as- M fed to be indignant when remondrance or "j resentment flow from the injured nation ; this * is the lad and afHifting picture of enorinto which we have been blindly fcJuced ! Of all i the authors that have written on the law of o nations, there is not one—no, not one, that 0 supports the idea of provifiops befog liable P . to the dcfci.iption of contraband, in any cafe ; but in approaching a blockaded pott ; the t j only author indcedthat mentions such a thing a i even in the way of suggestion, who a | fays, that possibly there may be a cafe where h there is a reasonable hope of reducing a nation by want of provisions, they may be deemed '' contraband ; but this is delivered as a mete ' fuggellion, and contrary to his usual difFuTo- ; > ness he leaves it naked and unsupported by j any one htftorical example or reference ; Lut | gentlemen fay, we do not alio v provisions to j be contraband, although Vattcl has used this ! ; suggestion, we think the doftrine unfounded; ! but he would not dispute about opinions j while he had rafts, and he would fay, while ' i you have denied the doftrine you have allow- j ) ed the praftice; you not only do wrong c thereto France, but we have done it in the 1 f moll offcnfive form—and irritated as (he ' i mud be by the intrigues that have already < torn her for so many years, the foreign ma- I chinations and the efforts to subjugate her by ( all the arts which perfidy could fuggefl, we t (hould not be surprised if (he (hould be relu'c- i tantly led to believe, that we had thus bar- l teied our supplies to Britain, reckless of her < ruin and regardless of our treaties ; I fay (he . i may be reluftantly led to believe this, since i the error of our blindness or our weakness is i visible as noon day. ! \ But we are told that this dipulation is ad- i vantageous to France, as it holds out a temp- 1 lation to mercantile adventurers from the ; certainty of payment in v either event of a voy- j age ; for his part he could net discover in the < conduit of the ncgociation, nor in the treaty j itfelf, any such intention on our part ; —but ( he could fee in the facrifice an effort, and he i ! would aflc any gentleman haw far fuccefsful it had proved, to guard against British depre dations j but he could fee in the argument a weak effort to support a tvotfe meafute ! But let us fee what is the conftru&ion of our , own government upon this principle | it mud [ be telted by other fafts tlian its adoption or ; rejeftion in a treaty; since the execution of the treaty our Execntive has put a strong i conltruftion on this principle; but our Ex - » ecutive had also, in a letter of isllruftion to t Mr. Thomas Pinckney, expressed his fenti r ments equally pertinent but confpicuous— fpeaking of the orders of the Britiih govern i ment for seizing provisions in neutral (hips, 3 the firtl article of which was in theft; words ; . " That it (hall be lawful to (top and retain ; " all vessels loaded wholly or in part with i " corn, flour, or meal, bound to any port in " France, or any port occupied by the ar f.

Thus we I " thorized aft of Great-Britain, into a war 0 " with which we meddle not, and which we )t " wish to avoid, if justice to all parties will f " enable us to avoid it." Now, fir, if go vernment thought France wonld not be the dupe of an artifice then, what reason have we to believe that die will now ?

This truth is so nototi : ous, that it would be a wade of time towefer • to those documents vhith contain so many ■ inltances of the faft. f In every European war, by which the in terest of the United States, or any of their rights of sovereignty maybe involved, an ad 1 herenee to this principle neceflarily and una r voidably leads to one of two results ; firlt, 3 " To a fubmiffton to every aggrejjion or insult a which may be attempted or infliHid upon them, c by any of the belligerent powers." Or, fecoud, " the alfilute neccjjity of the United Slates e throwing themftlvrt upon the protection of one - of thefepowers, in order to prcfcrve their rights r or interefk from beingfwallowed up or drjlroyed e by the other." This pofii ion being supported '' by the experience of all ages, it would be matter of surprise to fee it prattifd upon in the c United States, did not the fame experience e inform us, that there has been always fount.', n in every country, men who, either from mo " tives of ambition, or some special cause rela r tive to themselves, have opposed or defeated '* th»fe measures which alone could have saved • their country from ruin or dependance. '' Let us speak plain ia treating on this sub- jeft. Is it intended, for example, should ie England commit depredations on our trade, d contrary to the laws of nations and treaty, tu • s submit to the injuries without an attempt at " defence, or to implore France to take onr trade under her protection t Would not this be to make France the protestor of the United States and the arbiter of their fate ? On the other hand, (hould fpoiiations be committed on our trade by France, contrary to expref 4 ' Imputations and to the law of nations, can the United States submit to receive the proteClion jof Finland, without fjibmictli:CT to fimilir drpendance and humiliation ? What is the courf.-that qught to be purfurd in fuJi a state of things': What the position which the United States ought to assume to avoid so mortifying, and eventually ruinous a depend ance ? Is it to be effefted by envoys extraor- ' dinary, by conccjfions, by relinquinfbmcnts, by j humiliations; or is it to be by . drawing upon the resources of the country, and l converting them into a maritime vnd landforce i competent to yield protection, and fufficirnt t toinfpire a re'ußance in either ofm'-e contend i ing power) to wound pur rights, left we should be thrown into the scale of their enemy ? , Is the latter the policy the United States ought to puifue ? Yes, it is the only policy which can procute to them that coif dera tion to which they ere entitled, and to ir.y fel low-citizens that freedom which I tr:.jl they 1 would sooner die than relinquish. Should the councils of those men prevail, , who are for keeping the United States with- , out a naval and military defence, what have i we to fear during the prejrnt war, and what < to dread upon its termination ? It ii vain to exp?& from any million to Fiance that our 1 trade to the Fionch Weft-India islands will be placed in a better fitnation than it is. at present, or that while it is left unprotected in that quarter by our own ships, it will not con tinue to be plundered. Humiliation and , conceflkw may indeed prevent its fullering equal injuries ir. the European and other seas; but nothing short of an armed force can cover it from the buccaneers of the Welt-Indies.— During the exiltence of the wat, therefore, a naval and military army cannot be dispensed with, without relipquifhing every thing tu chance and the good will of a horde of foreign plunderers, aided by the bankrupts 3nd out. cafta from our own society. To Ihefe evils we mult submit ; by such buccaneers & out calls our citizens mud be plundered, fllould falfe fyllems, erroneous spiuions, or any other motive induce thole men to withhold defence, who alone have the power to create it. If unfortunately a system of inaction should prevail, to what a condition do we fubjedt the United States at the close of the war ? Should France emerge from it the dominating power, and England be in 110 situation to prevent her farther aggrandizement, we may iindoHifelves suddenly awakened fromourfleep of security by a treaty between France and Spain, which mull plunge us into a war to preftrve the unity of our country. Who can 1 doubt of the views of Fiance and Spain up on the weflern and southern parts of the uni ioh ? On the other hand, should England ride out the storm and rife upon its ruins to greater power and consequence, Ihe may put forth pretenfiont, fthich are at present dor mant, and require of the United States con cessions or alliance which, if granted, mult humble us in our own eyes and in the eyes of all the world. To avoid then the calamities of war, and to secure to ourselves a position at its termina tion which may prevent either of the belliger ent powers from taking advantage of our weakness, found policy requires that we should adopt inflantaneous measures of defence, and that we should be found prepared for war, at a time when all Europe may seem desirous of repose. The distance of the United States from the three European powers, with whieh they are mod likely to be entangled in disputes, and to whose colonies they are so contiguous, ena bles them to aflame a refpeitable position with means very difproportionedf theirs, anil yet truly competent to secure them against their attacks, or to annoy or reduce some of their polTeffions If attacked. Such a position may be maintained at a small cxpenfe ; and till such be taken the United States mull oontinue to be inful.'ed, abused and plundered by thefc powers, as often as it fliali be their , interell to violate their treaties, and set at nought '.he laws of nations, jnflice aritl hu manity.

Mr. Gallatin 1 followed him, on the contrary fide, and ha -1 ving noticed some remarks which fell from Mr. Harper, that gentleman rose to explain. The call for the " Committee to rife," and for r the " Quc/lion," from different parts of the ' House became very loud ; when Mr Giles rose and faiJ" the gentleman last up had thrown out insinuations of mifconduiS a r gainlt (he foppofed) one of our late public functionaries in France.
