rfy to Mr. XrtvE.Njo.N's hint note in ti e eor-nv-jioiidfiTCP,
already wade public, respecting
the of Srarrh. We can nut pt?rce ve
that any new nFvTtia given to the question by
bis lordship's final statement of it. He tlis
ejairiis, a before, all pceteusiims on (be part -of
ihe fJntihli tiovcrniucnt to the lighted' srrWi
yet insists upon the right of rmtnimilum.
The difference here attempted to bo set forth,
is that tfe right of search extends to the car
po of the vessel and to the object f iter voy
while tlie right ttf examination is con
fined to a verification of her nationality. Hnt
it h raanifessit'iat in either rase the vokc1 must
be stopped, entered, and inspected; and that
the boarding- otlicer is constituted the jttdge "to
determine upon the right of the vessel tocon
tinne her voyage.
J.ord Ani:Rir-?f also repents a declaration
fwrwiwly made that 'with American vessels,
whatever lietboir destination, British cruisers
have no pretention in an any manner to inter
fere.' Vet every vessel bearing the American
il.ifr iiiny Ik; brought to &t:d b mrded, wi'hin the
limits specified 'by the treaty f the four I'ow
i.r?, in order that a IJrilih u'liocT may be sat
isfied whether she has n right to carry the A
inerican flag or not. The liriiiU wiriiwi w hich
lihis surveillance is to be exercised 'include, as
w ti)(:ittioned some days ago, the entire ppace
between tno eastern coast of the'Unitcd States i
beginning at the Southern cxtremrtyof ftouth
Cnrolina, and running down the South Ameri
ran Const to Patagonia, to the Western Const
f Africa, from the 'Kingdom uf Moroceo -on
thefttorlh, to the extrumity v. J iindostnn, ten
deprecs below the Soutbern evtrcmrty of the
African continent. Within this space the chief
jxirtion of our trade is embraced.
'Jt is urgodtbnt the rif lie.re claimed is also
conceded-, that it is to be exercised mutually,
that (Iieat Britain asks form iirore than sle is
willing to yield in her turn. Ifwc h.id a na
va'l power -ctfHal to that of threat Britain the
'reciprocity here pr-jllered uti teiins inieht exist
