of State to bis Danijh Majejiy.
n- Copenhagen, May 14, 1794.
of • SIR »
■ d At the time wnen I wasbblited to appljr
to your Excellency, aiid complained against
the publication, called, The Danith Spec- 1
e. tftor, I requefted'a public and speedy re
i. partition. lam ignorant of the causes 'of
'j. the delay in the proceedings of the Trial,
)f which it was not niy butfitiefs to investigate.
|[ j « :s > however, but too obvious, that from
tjie-ftep taken by the Public Accuser, that
eyen if I had thought proper to wait for
;s the result of that Trial, I cbul_d r not have
: expected any thing fatisfaftory from it.
il ,In however moderate manner the Kings
d ot . Denmark cx;rcifcd that abfolute-powcr,
"fith which they had been inverted fmce
J the Revolution of the 1660, yet there is
' much doulst but that power remained in
c their hands as late as thp begiuing of lall "
year, at a time when aDanilh fubjedt of the I
j name of Brabands, after having been in- * b
, terrogated by an extraordinary commission, cl
r on an accusation for feditioia writings, has
f been on the King's authority taken up and t
thrown into a dungeon in the citadel of £
; Copenhagen, where he still languilhes,
; without ever having been tried ; and still ,0
' later, we witnefied the irreftation and im- cr
1 prifonment of a citizen (obfeure indeed) tli
for having, in a publication, ridiculed cer- B
tain sacred things, and amongst others, for r,,
the rebuilding of the Chateau of Chris- rf
tianlburg, for the armament, &c. '
In appealing to the laws of Denmark, I
I appealed to them, such as I knew them
to be; in l'liort such as 'your Excellency all
defer j bed them, when you said to me, all
" Altho' you were not the head of the C o
law, it was still in your vour to direst it in 1
some manner or other.'" A remarkable , •
declaration, which 1 did not fail to com
municate to my court, as well as many of to
my colleagues, at the time at Copenhagen, in
P rei ' t '! u a Profeflor as Literature in a
libel ot which he declared himfelf to be the ]
the author, insulted a minister of a nation dr.i
Ui peace with Denmark, expressing freely cor
njr his regret at the Minister's having escaped
j r m aflalTmation.
, In thisbufinefs, a ftate 1 byfinefs, similar
to thole which I have before quoted a re
gular process is entered upon : andmore
alt over, beforean inferior tribunal. The pro
lur cess is commenced againll a man guilty of
eft the grenteft crime against fociery ; namely,
to have endeavored to excite a quarrel, be
ej tweelr«two rjations.
If tfie ft itcrice of his Judges be in con
formity with the demand made by the
Public Accuser, in the name of the King
of Denmark, he ought to have been sen
tenced firft to an amende honorable, and
afterwards to a pecuniary fine of two hun
dred dollars: imprifonmcnt can only bean
ahernativr in cafe of contumacy. The
identity of tie person defigniied in the libel
is acknowledged, and is obvious to every
body except to such as do not chufe to ac
knowledge it; but even if the presumptive
ar- evidence had not amounted, as it really
ar- does, to poGtive conviction, one may bold
lan ly aflert,' that the rights of nations, in a
state of litigation, becoming a proceli be
tween one nation and another, permit no
tJ -' fort of inte pretatiort of quibble and chi f
canery. It is the fpir'lt, and not the literal
he import of tfyefe (acred laws which requires
of ftrift adherence.
on I (hall not take upon myfelf, Sir, to fay
i whether my Court will be disposed to reft
D ' contented with the faitisfaftion you procur
ed, for an insult which it received in the
lC " person ofits fervaht a; the Court of Copen
ne hagen, undei' the immediate prote&ien of
he which Court it had placed him.
ni- The molt abjeA slavery is, perhaps;
not more distant from true liberty, than
popular licentiousness; and particlarly that
'2 lictntioufnefs, encouraged through the
0 medium of the press. cannot but endanger
the fafety of the State which tolerates it.
z, As to myfelf;, and as much as it is poffi
ir- tile for me to separate my personal cafe, (
i a . from that cf my Court, I declare myfelf
)r _ fatisfied: the person who attacked me, has 1
retraced in a Court of Jullice ; having of
° j fered, as lam informed, to take an oath, ■
j that I was Hot the person defignatsd in the
ed libel, none, of his afperfioius couid have \
reached my honor, and if it depended up
ut on me, I fbould abandon him to his own •
