this proposition was.thcrcforc necessarily Atti.:r this exriOsition of the eirAtinstances which preceded, and which have followed the de clar3Lon of war by the United States, ,his Royal Highness the,Pri,;ce Vegent, acting in :the Annie and on the' behalf of his Majesty, feels himself called ilea to de6lare the leading' principles, by which the conduct of Great Britain has beep re giiiated ha the transactions connected with these discussions. His Royal Highness can never acknowledge any blockade whatsoeli l er to .be illegal, which has been duly notified, and is supported by an.,, adequate force, merely upon the ground of its ex— tent, or because the ports, or coasts blockaded,, are not at the same time investrd by land. His 'Royal Highness can, never' admit, that neutral trade With Great Britain, can be consti tuted a public crime, the commission of which can expose the ships of any power whatever to be de nal ion'alized. His Royal Highness can never. admit that Great Britain can be debarred of it light of just and pecessary retaliation, th roug h fear of eventually affecting the'interest of a neutral. His Royal Highness can never admit, that in the exercise of the undoubted and hitherto un disputed right of searching neutral merchant ves sels in time of war, the impressment of British seamen, when found therein, can be deemed any violation of a neutral flag. Neither can he ad mit, that the taking suck seamen from on board Buell vessels can be considered by any Neutral State as a hostile measure, or a justifiable cause of war. There is no right more cleatly established, than the right Which a Sovereign has to the aiiegilnee of his subjects, more especially in time of war.— Their allegiance is no optional duty, which they can dec;iine end resume at pleasure. It is 'a call which they are bound to obey : it began, with their birth, and can only terminate with their exist ence. It's similarity of language and manners may make the exercise of this right more liable to•par tial mistake, and occasional alMse, when practised towards vessels of the United States, the same cir cumstances make it also a right, with the exercise or whieh, in regard to such vessels, it is more dif ficult to dispense. 13ut if, to the practice of the United States, to harbour British seamen, be added their assumed right, to transfer the allegiance of BritiOisubjects, and thus to cancel the jurisdiction of their mate Sovereign, by acts of naturalization and cer tiliCates of citizenship, which they pretend to be as valid out:of their own territory, as within it, it is obvious that to abandon this ancient right of Great Britain, and to admit these novel pre tensions of the. United States, .would be to expose to ,clanger the very foundlttion of our maritime strength. Without entering minutely into the other to pica, which have been brought forward. by the Clovernment of the United States, it may he pro per to remark,., that wbetever the Declaration of the United States ,may have asserted, Great Bri tain never'did' demand, that they ;shout& force British' marinfactures into France ; and she tor mally declared her willingness entirely to forego, or Modify; ici concert with the United States, the ititein',. by which a commercial intercourse with t le enemy had been allowed under the protection liceaces ; provided the United Stares would act towards her, and- towards France with real itupartiality. The Government of Atrieriea, if the differences between States arc not interminable, has as little right to notice the affair of the thesapeak. itge,rcsNion, in this instance, -Oil the part of 'V 1, ritisiOfficer was acknoWleged, his conduct wee disapproved, and a reparation . was regularly , te.n. dered by Mr, 'Foster, on the part of his 'MaieStv, end accepted by the Goverinnent of the United ,States. It is not less unwarranted in its filinsiOn'to the t. ission of Mr. Henry, 'a mission undertaken without the authority, or even knowledge of his Majesty's Government, and Which Mr. Poster Was authorised formally and officially to dis, W. The charge of exciting the Indians to offensive measures ugainst the United States, equally void of foundation. Before the war began, a policy the most opposite had been unilormly seed, and proof of this WaS tendered by,Mr. Fos. ter to the Anierican Government. • Such are the causes ,of war Which have been put foryvard by the Government of the United Scates. Tut the real origin of the present contest wilt be found in that spirit, whkli has long un happily ectuateil the Conncils of the United States : their marked partiality in palliating and assisting the aggrc,se,".: tyrionly of Franee ; their sptewa tic Cad.C4l,-011rti to entialne' their people the jefensive measure.; of Great Britain ; their ungenerous conduct towards Spain, the hit innate ally of Great Britain ; their unworthy deserii till of the cause of other neutralnations. ft is ihrinigh the prevalence, of' such councils, America has been associated with in poliey Finnee, and 'c oi n - witted in war .against Gr e at Britain. And muter svliat conduct on. time part dr France has the Government ofthe United States thus lent itselito the enemy ?

AgainA this comic, of conduct, the real, cause . ofilie present war, the Prince Ree:ent solemnly protests. 'Whilst contending- ag:linst France, in defence not only of the liberties of, Great Britain, but of the world, laic Royal highness was entitled to look for a far diilerent result: Prina their cOtn ..uton origin —from their common interest—from their professed orinriples of- freedom and indepen dence, the United States were the last:poi.vt2r, in which Great Britain could have expected to find ii illin instrument, and abettor of Freud, .7) Tyranny. Disappointed in this His jifs't expectation, the Prince Regent tvill still pursue the policy which the British Government has :so long and invari ably niaintained, in repelling injustice, and in 'supporting the, general rights of nations; and, under the favnur of Providence, relying on the t . ice of his cause, and the tried loyalty and firma ness of the British nation, 'his Royal Highness confidently limits forward to a successful issue to the contest, in which .he has thus been compelled most reluctantly to engage. westnliater, January 0, 1813. Prii At theSc.uUrtz FRENCH ?,iPERS. Pmus, JA,V. 3,-I:he official journal of this day contains the following Report, addressed to his Majesty the Duperor, by his Excellency the 111 i, nkter of Uurine " Paris, Sept. 12. ". Sum—The•Commissioners of the Transport Office addressed, on the 17th of last month, to the Chief of the sth division of my Ministry two lists of Preach Officers of all ranks who bad with drawn from the places wher,! they were on their parole. The fitst contains the names of 270 per sons retaken in their attempts to escape. The other contains the names of .590 persons, stated to have actually effected their est:npe! 1 lilive l'els(m :to Believe l;at this last men tioned number is erroneous , as we know of only ..163 prisoners of all ranks who have in this way returned to I,4'rance. " The reflections with which the sionera of the Transport Office have accompanied the transmission of tfa lists induced are to•cause a:list to be transmitted to me of the English pri- 4 sutlers of war of ail ranks who bad withdrawn from the places of their parole in Prance, parti cularising the dates of their, breach of parole.-'--- The number amounted to 355, exclusive of those retaken in their attempts to escape. • " In the nmr."Jer of those who effixted their es cape, we•remark the name of a Member. of,Parlia meta,- Thomas, Drool:, who fled in October, 1804, from 'Valenciennes, where he resided on hio pa 'role. It also includes a, Sir James Crawford, known to have held sevvral distinguished situa tions, ho ran off about the same time frolarli>a. -lit-Chapelle, abusing the permission which be bad received to proceed thither to take'the %rat ers. " The object of this comparative statement is to shew • that the I.:;n4lish took the lead in these viOlations of the pat.o.e of honour, for we find but very few Freuelnuen, and th ose too, p e rsons of the lowest rank, who had subjected .themselv'es to this imputation in 180.1-- , t period when instances of it were given . by, the Englishmen of distinction whom I have jut Mentioned. " On the other hand, if We only consider that the number of English pristiners detained in Prance amounts but to a third of the number of Preeehm<n detained in Eugland, it will be s een , On comparing the numbers of the fugitives of both' nations, that thee brew eh r e 9 of parole have pia,,portionally been more numerous on the part of toe English. e".l*o this observation 'it may not he improper to add, that of the number of French in England, there are between 7 and 6,000 who were included inAhe ,eapitulat ion of Baylen, that is to say, who are , detained there contrary to all law, and by'a scandalous infraction of that .c..4pitttlation, ac cording to which. thew were to have been sent home •to France with their arnia. And if this examination, were carried still farther, it might also be, remarked, that a great number Of the Frenchmen who haN.e made their escape from Fougland were oat prisoners belonging to that Power, but had been taken by the Spaniards, of wham 2,700, inCluding General, and Officers of • all ranks, prisouera of war in France, have made their escape in breach of their parole. "'Such, Sire, are, the details which I have thought it my date tc., submit to yon. Your Ma jesty. will, perhaps, be of opinion, that the gi‘,•ing them publicit y would suffice to make all the ea !mimics which the English have lately affected to propagate upon thia subject again • the t're p oli kisouers, recoil upon th e i r own heads.
