ses the concerned to answer them. 9o
cratts it. o.w of the people, and it is his right to
inreftigate the condufl of those who hold them-
1. Is the Manhattan Company inflituted
for the purposes of bringing water into the
city or of banking and (peculation ?
2. If it k'inflituted for the purposes of ban
king and speculation, wherefore does almoil
the whole of the acl appear to talk of water,
and wherefore do you int'ult ,the religious
sentiments as well as the misfortunes of our
citizensbv hypocritically invoicing the " bles
sing of Ged," i-n aid of a wicked speculation
upon the public calamity ?
3. Are not all Corporations unwieldy ma
chines, with difficulty made amenable to the
laws, and attended with many inconvenien
ces ? Is it iv&t on that account thatthv pow
er of making them is very sparingly exer
cised by '.vjfe legislatures, and that they are
never made but for thepurpofe of cornipaling
some one single object, and that object l'uch a
one as the 'egiflaturc conGders to be of pub
lec utility and not attainable by the exertions
of difconncfted individuals ? Did you ever
hear of any corporation (except the Manhat
tan Company) inllituted for all possible fur
poses, and therefore having a right to pursue
useless or cnfalutary objc£ts as well as ufeful
and salutary ones ? Does not the Manhattan
Company differ frorri all other corporations
in this, that having a right to pursue all ob
jects whatever, it cannot be confined to use
ful objects only nor to any one objeft, but
may exercise its powers in ways which a wife
Tegiflature ought to discourage even in indi
viduals ? Cannot this company employ its ca
pital in any objeifts whatever which the mem
bers think for their private advantage, how
ever deftruftive they may be to the public
interefl ?
aawim
4 Does not the difficulty of rendering
your company amenable to public justice,
the number of its members, its great capi
tal and the universal extent of its powers
enable you to monopolize trade 3nd ex-,
change, oppress the industry of individual
merchants, convulse private and puplic cre
dit and speculate on the w:nls, distresses
and public calamities of the couutry, as in
effeft you are now proposing to dn ?
5. If the legislature should incorporate a
company with the exclusive privilege of
rabbing on the ways, do you not be
lieve that fit persons could be found to fiil
up the subscription and that the (lock would
fell at par ?

tors Democfats ? Do you know whether
the Democrats ever clamored against the

agaioft thofc which had limited<and well de

turis ?
7. If the Manhattan Company can now
eftablifli a bank is it not authorised to pur.
sue for the space of ten years, any speculati
on» the molt foreign to the bringing of wa
ter, withou' expending one cent Cor that
purpose ? If they should chooie so to do,
can you, a 9 a lawyer, point out any remedy
that can be pu' sued agaift them till after the
ten years are past ? If a prosecution Ihould
then be brought against them for the forfei
tuie of their corporate rights, could such
profecntioo be probably determined in left
than five years ? and would not the work
of bringing water thin begun at the end of
fifteen years from this date, require two or
three yeas to be compleated ? If in the mean
time our city should br ravaged by the yel
low fever, is it not perfectly in the power
of your company to exclude any supply of
water from abroad for the space of 12, 15 or
or 20 years, provided they should find flock
jobbing more profitable than the introduc
tion of water ?

CHARLESTON, May 16.
A raufe of considerable corifequence to the
United States, and the {ltuation in which
(he (lands as a neutral nation with some of
the belligerent powers, was heard on Tues
day and Wednesday last, in the Circuit Court
of the United States, held in this city.

tannic tnajefty. J Melcager.
Mr. Desaussure and Mr. Parker, for the
complaimnt ; Mr. Pringle and Mr. Ward
for the defendant.
On the part of the defendant it was object
ed, that the intended sale is neither contrary
to any exi fling, treaty, or regulation of the
executive of the United States, or law of
Congreis, or luw : of nations ; aud that the
sale of prizes made by the Britifli, from their
enemies, the Spaniards, maybe lawfully made
in the United States, till our government
does, (as it may) by treaty or otherwise, pre
vent the lame ; that the judiciary potfer
cannot intetpofe its authority to enjoin a
sale, until tha executive fliall positively in
terdidt the lame.
On the part of the complainant it wasan
fwered, that where r:o right to fell is grant
ed by treaty, or express permission to l'ell is
Ihewtl, that the court of equity is the pro
per court to apply to, to retrain the party ;
that it is a right which cannot be supposed
to pais by implication, as it goes to ceffipn
of a sovereignty ; that the permitting a sale
would be. at breach of neutrality, which ought
to place the belligerent powers on an equal
footing in all rcfpcf\«.
Tlie chief jufrtre cMiveied the opinion of
the court, to the following rwport:
The right to fell cannot be claimed by
treaty. On what ground does the right to
fell reft? If it exists at all, it reft on a per
mifiion. Without doubt a cation may per
mit a belligerent power to fell, without vio
lating its duties as a neutral power. Treaties
aside, it is wholly discretional. The sove
reignty of a aeutral power authurifes the
exercise of such discretion. There is a dif
ference between aiding Commerce, and the
sale of prizes; iileticc in the ordinary cases
of commerce, may be eonfidered as consent
ing to it; but the sale of prizes Hands on
different ground, and a positive permiifion
must be granted, before the rjgkt can be said
to exist. If permitted to fell, they must fell
the prize; without a regular enquiry being
made, \Vhether it was a legal prize or not,
pursuant to the courts of the capturing pow
er; and there is in such cafe great danger of
fraud, and even of the commission of piracy,
(a eufe in which all maratime cations are
concerned.} Ido hot fay that a condemn
ation is.requisite; but all nations are inter
ested to\difcountenance it. The felling of
prizes is often very ensnaring, and insensibly
draws in tta citizens of a neutral state to de
part from the obferv mae of a firict neutrali
ty, which is a reason why the neutral nati
on should be consulted. In this cafe, no
permission from the government Ts (hewn ;
none is grapted by tieaiy. An attempt
therefore to exsreife it, is incompatible with
the sovereignty of the flat*-. What we are
at liberty to grant as favours, must be grant
ed equally ; and as we are precluded by
treaty from granting this right to a Span
iard, the reason applies with force, why we
should not grant it to the British.
As the court does not undertake to decide
what it would be proper for the executive
to do, I wish to frame the decree so as to
admit an application to the executive. Let
there be an injunSion to flop the sale unti' the
further order of the court, unless permtjfton
Jkal! befooncr obtained from the Preft dm los
the United States.
Captain Micheal Peirce, of the ship Af
trea, of New York, burthen nearly 400
tons, with a valuable cargo on board, of
tobacco, logwood, sugar and cotton, owned
entirely by John Cornelius Vanderheuval,
of New-York, with only one paflerger on
board, who wasayousg Spanish gentleman,
bound home to his parents in Spain, failed
From New York, on the 2d of December :
on the 20th of the fame mouth was taken
by the Britifti frigate Thalia, Con.i.- ,
lord Henry Paulet, who took capt. P e !r '
liis mate and ten of his crew on board th'.'
frigate; after fame time, feat back to the
Aftrea the mate only, whose name is Th'o
mas F. Bates. O" the r6th January arrived
at Gibraltar, the friga'e and ship incompj.
Ny: performed » quarantine of a fortnight."
On the 28th January went to court
where the Aftrea was libelled : there a pack
et was produced, adclrefied to Talleyrand
the contents in cyphers, which the 'udec'
William Mansfield Morrifon, who appeared
t« be about 18 or 20 years of age, surrogate
of Duncan Frafer, cfq judge of vice admi.
ralty, said ht rould make nothing of, nor
could any of the court. This packet of C y.
phers, capt. Peirce understood, was found
on board the Aftrea, concealed in her quar.
ter galleries, some days after he was carried
on board the frigate: the captain of the
frigate, it was said, conveyed the packet to
admiral Jervis, who conveyed it to the A
merican cortful. Under pretence that the
above packet being mysterious, mud of
course be treasonable, capt. Peirce was sent
prifnn«r again on board the frigate on the
31ft January. On the 9th of February,
the frigate/ailing, capt. Peiice was removed
on board the Aftrea; on the 25th was sent
on board the prison ship; and on the 20th
of March was sent on board the fchooser
Nancy for Charleston.
In the mean time capt. Piirce ltarnl, that
the Aftrea and her cargo were cor.dtmned
as the property of the enemies of Great-
Britain; even his own small adventure wai
not spared.
Capt. Peirce undtrftood that the A men
can consul sent him on here, consigned to the
Amer can secret .ry of (late, in consequence
of a note from Lord St. Vincent, requeu
ing him to fend him and his mate to Amer.
