lords commiflionefs of his majesty's treafu- t

a British- fubjeft cannot so divert; himfclf of
the ehara&er of a British fubjeft by being t(
naturalized or beepming a citizen cf any k
foreign state, as to entitle him to be con- pi
fidered, in th'is country, as a fubjeft of such pi
foreign state under the laws of navigation, m
And their lordftiips are further of opinion, fil
that for many reafohs it wonld be very con- te
, trary to the interest of this country to admit vy
such a claim : yet as this ,is the firft cafe, pi
withrefpeftto the United States of Ame- tii

been brought forward, their lordships do not ri<
think that it would be proper to take ad- lai
vantage of the forfeiture of the said (hip.&c.
and are even of opinion, that, under all the ka
circumstances of the present cafe, the said m;
ftiip America should, according to the re
quest of the memorialist, be permitted to E:
enter her cargo at the port of Liverpool:
I am, however, direfted by their lordships ab
to desire, that a copy of the said report may am

their main objeft was to capture, ordeftroy j
the four Spanish 74's, lying under the forts
of Santa Cruz town; but that the expedi- I
