TH : JEFFERSON,
Kee-Frtfdent of the United States
and President of the Senate.
Approved February 27, A. D. 1801.
MR. RUSSELL, , A
I HAVE already ffiewn, by the opin',
ions of the moftcelebrated civilians
of the last and present century, that the
two principles set up by the Northern
Confederacy are not founded in the well
recognized maxims of the Law of Na
tions. : But as my obj^ is not theoreti
cal, but practical, as I conceive that the
jolt eifcntial interests of the U. States
are involved in the question whether we
Ihall take a part in this unjuftifiable af
fociatiori, I think the opinion of Ame
rican civilians ffill. more important in
the present quefticn. I ~
The People of the United States, are,
I believe, averse to war.—They even
dread it, when the rules of ftrid honor,
and a regard to national glory would
seem to require it. But they will never
encounter its horrors, and its distresses
in support of principles, which justice
does not uphold, and which inter est for
bids them to maintain.
T/> e Principles of.the Northern Cefr
federacy Examined.
The condu& which che Government
may pursue, depends, in a great mea
sure upon theFrefident. —His biases and
his prejudices may hasten, or may avert
the dreadful calamities which would
infallibly attend cur junction 'with the
northern nations. No authority, there
fore, can be more refpe&able or more
influential, on this point, than that of
Mr. Jefferson's ~'
When he was Secretary of State, Ge
net urged the United States to enforce
this very principle of tree ships making
free goods. Mr. Jefferson repelled
the idea, with ingenuity, and with great
apparent sincerity. His researches were
profound—4iis exertions Were laborious
—the result unequivocal. In his letter ,tq
Genet, dated the 24th of July, 17931
he exprefeshis.opinion in the following
decided manner :—
JOHN ADAMS,
Pref lent of the United States.
[For Supplement to this aU,fee hfl Oracle.]
From the CENTINEL.
" That it earr.ot be doubted but that by the
general law of nations, the goods of a friend
found in the vessel of an enemy are free, and the
geode of an enemy in the vessel of a friend, are law,
fut prize. —ft is true that fevera! nations desir
ous of avoiding the inconvenience of having
their vessels flopped, carried into port and de,
tained under pretence of having enemies goods
on board, have in many inßances introduced
by their special treaties, another principle be
tween them, that enemy's bottoms should make
enemy's goojs, and friendly bottoms, friendly
goods ; —but that is altogether the effea of par
ticular treaties, which control in fpscial cases thq
general principle, and therefore taking effea be
tween such nations only as have so agreed tp
control it."
,Such was the sage and found opinion
of Mr. Jefferson, in 1793; —precisely
agreeing with,the principles laid down
in my last number, that no combina
tions of particular nations could alter
the LaW of Nations.—But it may be
said that this was the official language
of Mr. Jefferfori, and not what Mr.
Fauchet called his confidential language.
But I presume that the President will
never stain his character by an admif
lion, that he avowed seriously a lan
guage which he did not believe correct.
.—ls he differed from the administra
tion on this pint, hs ought to have re
'figned, and as he did not, we -tuft con
clude that his private sentiments coin
cided with his official language.
Whence then arose this new-fangled
dodrine of free ships making fr^ goods
and the right to refill the searches of
belligerent nations? Its tirft formal
and regular origin was in the famous
Armed 'Neutrality in 1786.
But before I enter on this, let me re
mind our citizens that no number of
nations can have in justice or equity a
right to alter the law so as to bind na
tions not parties ; and that it is a max
im of common sense, tifat exceptions
serve only to confirm a general rule.—
In the last war, commonly called our
revolutionary war, Great-Brilain had
an afcendency, though not so great as
at present, over the navy & commerce
of her enemies. France always jealous,
ever sagacious, and inimitable in in
trigue, then persuaded the Northern
nations, who were fore at the interrup
tions and vexations fuffered by their
commerce ;. that :t was their intcreft to
form a coalition to fefift these tights so
quell tfablifoed, but as ffi'e pretended so
injurious and vexatious to neutrals.—
In that counfel,fe aded as she always
does. She fpokecme word for her allies,
and two for herfelf.—7%, were to en
counter the hard knocks and the priva
tions, and floe was to reap the fruits, —#
Catharine of Rama, proud of being
the mistress of one third of thCiabitable
part of the other continent, and envious
of the Britifh' glory on the ocean, firft
entered in'o the artful views of France,
and a&ually, alone, in February 1780,
promulgedher resolution to^make a neia
code of maritime law for the benefit of
her fubiedf. Mark this!! For the
benefit -of her Ruffian Majesty's fub<
jeds ! !.— Her regulations extended to
the.principle of free ships, free goods,
and to the limited doctrine of contra
band. Not until July of the fame year
did any nation join her, and then Den
mark was coaxed into the fcheme<
Soon after Sweden and,the United States
came into the coalition. But did they or
any of them controvert the ancient Law
of Nations ? Did they or any of them
pretend that they eftabljfhed any new
Law of Nations ? Assuredly not. It
was simply an armed resistance to uh
controverted principles. It was truly
a War quo ad hoc I —So sensible were the
parties that it did not alter the ancient
law"; so unwilling to agree that it should
permanently alter principles so long sanc
tioned and which they nfgl.t wifi to re
vive in future, that by the ninth article
of this famous contrail it was explicit-'
ly declared, that it was concluded and
agreed upon for ik time that war should
lafl, through it was, stipulated that .it
should serve as a basis to future engage-'
meats ; and cn this idea the King of
Sweden was anxious for a Congress in.
which, the neutral nations should be 1&,
presented, and in whiqh their claims
f^ouldbe considered and examined ; apd
lie exprefifed those claims and concert
to be “ The pacification and the fetfigQ
ofa maratime code of laws." Doe„h„''
look like contending for clear radfl;
cided principles ? Was it neceHary tQ,
form a new code, and to call a Congtei,
to agree upon principles already recog
nized ? Did we ever hear of calling a,
Congress to determine on thti, rights,
and privileges of Ambarfad^s,, Or,
upon the righcsoftei ritorj^j?^tt&ion,;
or of capture on entering a Blockaded
