I'Ve are at a loss to discover what colifthave prevailed on Mr. Madison to insert in his ,kessag - e any notice of the affair of the Lille Belt, in the shipe of a complaint, since his _own officers - have proved, by their evidence,. that Commodore Rodg ers was the aggressor. 7 —it is proved that Com modore Rodgers bOre down on, the Lille Belt ; it : is proved that, he endeavorred to place his ship in aposition'for yaking the Lille Belt; it.is proved that Captain Bingha► . wore three tilde? to avoid the President's taking this advantage. • Commodore Rodg 'avows avows that he took a position to windward on the same tack, within short speaking distance,' and that the chase ap peared, from his manoeuvres, anxious to prevent it.' The aggres . shin then is on the 'part pf:Ccru . . modore Rodgers. But whiCh - of the two firi:a the 'fist shot ? If we consider the difference of force, we must set down Captain,Bingham as a madman, before•we can consent to allow the 'Lille 1,t;14 -to have given the first shot. • The Minutes of a Court of Inquiry, held at, Halifax, prove the President to have fired first ; the Minutes of, the American Court-Martial prove the Lille Belt to have fired first. hence the quantity of proof is pretty nearly equal; as t the quality of the evidence, we - shall not make one 'single observation. " • But there were two seamen on board the Pre sident at the time of the aggression, who have voluntarily made Oath as follows :••• - 4Villia»? Bier 7 kelt, an Englishman, sworn at Deptford,"deposes that the President fired the first gun by accident ; that he turned round to acquaint the Lieutenant with this circumstance, but that, before he conld do it,. the whole broadside - of the Presidebt discharged ; and that immediately apier, a-gene ral order was given to fire atvay as -tiifiCk as pos sible.'—Joluf Russell, an Anierican,, sworn ' at Bristol, depoSes that he - was on board the. Presi-' dent at the-time of the. action ; that the first.gun, was fired by accident from the .President : that the„guns had locks, nnd, were all cocked ; that, after i.he action, he was informed Ly the men in the waist, that a mati,hai heenentancled with the lanyard of the locks,- WhiCh occationathe gun Co go off. But wre really do not think it "worth an argument who fired trust the true question is; who chased who took au hostile position ? the ships in that situation in whiCh even the acci dental firidg of a gun, must inevitably produce decided. Warfare ? who came idwn with °his ship cleared. for action- - ---the crew <t their quarters— „lnns double-spottedL-matchesdighted ? The nett . • tral lie who had not an enemy on the seas, rushes a display of all this. 'pomp and (circum stance of war,' and then complains of v tlft hosti lity of those who had .used ail th e i r: i enslea vouTs to avoid his doui.;lo-vholted reutrct?iti 'lf to all these scircuinsvapcs, we : portant consideration that 'C...pt'sin Bhaghain.wns d;rected, by Adiniral Sawyer's instr..,...tions, be particularly s careful :2011.0 give any just --e use of oieace to•the Governinent or Sehjects- of : the Vnited .states of Amerio4-;' .and that Mr. Atadison has thougilt fit to conceal - the orders under which Cominodore ItodgerS chased the Lille Belt, ‘ve think it is pretty clear, that the y. - isest policy of the American Government would have been to have wrapped up the conduct of their Commodore in profound obscurity; and. covered, Avith.the..yeil of n Oiscretion, this uncalled for effusion of Ameri can valour. to England has voluntarily and distinctly disclaim ed the practict of searching ships of war. Not content. with this concession, th e Vaited States set up the pretension that free shit -s make free goods,' and claim the right: to use the ocean as the common and acknowledged highway of I. :This ci.aim, we presume, t is put forward e ith er to deny the r right of searcgi' of merchant vessels, .or to provoke a discussion of the - English title to the dorniaion.and sovereicuty of the seas. _ It will not be our misfortune, we sincerely hope, to see . the u day when the former shall be abandoned. As to the latter, we . re of -opinion th a t th e .preten .... . . sions to this right,'!et -up by • Belden and-others, Went no, farther than th a t r i g h t. which conquest, • . • .and an uninterineted. superiority..of naval. pover had achieved, acid Which bad obtained the sanction .of most of the _nations Of Europe,. • • Great Britain never pretended to‘anylegal and possessory right, to the exclusion of others. The first idea ofsea dominion seems to have been taken. .from the ordination of the laws of Oleron,.which. were promulgated from that island by Richard L on his return from the Holy Wars, obeyed by all seafaring people in the .Western parts.. cf -the world, and made the common standard o:.r:ght and wrong in the maritime law of nations. It must, however, be obseived that Richard Was Puke of Aguit-ain and Normandy, and, in right - pf.the latter, lord orrhoth sides the-English Chan nel.; which, reason a code of- laWs was neces sary to r regidate the intercourse between his glish arid French subjects, and those of-his-allies,. . and for_the more speedy and impartial deterinina tioll of all coritrover',;ies Which might occasionally .arise.. The. laws- of Qierbn are bia, in fact, a . transcript of the old 1 -- thodian laws, to which all • the • surrounding nations • conformed ; and the adoptiOn of them in England infers no more a sea. ...dominion, than it conferred on the Romans the ,,soverelg - iity of the Medit,:rranean, for conforming themselves, in their un:n-itinie ac fairs, to the laws of the little republic of rthodes. The ordinance . ... at Hastings, maide by King John in the second., .year of his reign, ordered all ships laden or , empty, r to strike their sails at the conimat d of theaina's governor pr admiral,. .or King .John, being in possession of Normandy, was lord 9f both shores; it has never been disputed that he is lord of the intermediate river who is lord of both . banks. Thi s , th e r e f ore ,. was no thing more ,than a mere municipal regulation for merchant ves4els, and, implied nothing, whatever 'of sovereignty. The right of, the flag7as.dem,anded from all na tions in the British seas; from a very early period. of our, iy , .val history. Philip IL of 'Spain was, shot at by the LOla Ad miral of England, for wearing his flag in-the row seas, whenhe came over-to marry!. ,2ueen.4ary, Sir William Cllonson says, that in 1605, with a Dutch Admiral in Dover roads, ail him not only strike'his flag, but keep it in ail the while he was ia.company.
