Gardner vs. Manlius.
TO THE CANDID PUBLIC.
4HAD the qritenoub Scribbler, Manlius,
.in his left iwfraow ptoduaion, corifi^ed
himfelf to my „liti<al ctoa&er, I Ihould
not have thought him worthy my tur,
ther notice; but not being content with
bis jcurrilouj catalogue offalfata on that
ground, he has the audacity to ivfoa/e
that I have been guilty of uraarrffl&
condua io my official capacity, in order
to wound my _al™ character ; and
threatens to disclose atrocities committed
by me, if I fhall4,re fa ahraifitto
,@. Charges of such magnitude should
not be concealed. The public therefore
vugfa to be made acquainted with all the
teatitiu of their servants, that the most
exemplary punishment might be inftia
ed : ido accordingly, iroiu the Ballyifc
firn Manlius, and all his vile amstyim
(or clients) to exhibft forth with, in an
tyh, manl, mtar, every thing that can
be construed criam/ or even impre/tr,
refpeding me ; at the fame time, ihall
expeftMftaMiel teumran to be produ
ced in support t hereof, !n order that it be
ascertained whether the {tyathg^ffy or
ifoutifa be well founded or not, as I
do not with t&feafo, &4#W 0, ebfr

that / ought to he afeamid rs— buoys me a

£ ' ° I by tbe a& of Congress, enti

2d. The powers of capturing and re
capturing, granted by the said & being
pointed solely and exclusively against
French armed refills, and thole v<flels,
goods and effeas of citizens of the U S.
or of perfonsrefident therein,which Shall
have been captured by the French, the
rights of all other nations are to be duly
receded ; and they are not to be moleft
ec lin their perfoos or property ; conse
quently American vessels and property,
captured by the commissioned refills of
such of thpfe other nations as are at war,'
are not to be re-captured by the armed
vessels of tbe U. S. Neverthetefs, any
ve&ls found on the high fees may be
examined in such manner as Shall be ne
cessary to ascertain, whether they are or
are not armed French vessels, or " veffeb
the property of or employed by an, citi
zen of the United States, or petfon resi
dent therein, or having on board any
goods or effeas belonging to an, such ci
ptizen, or resident," that have been cap-
Itured by the French. But if the, are of
neither of these descriptions, they are to
be dismissed, with as little delay as possi
ble. And io making such examination,
care is to be taken that no injury be done
to the veflelor to the persons or property
onboard her. It peculiarly becomes a
I nation, like the American, contending
I for her just rights and defending herfelf
I against iofuhs and injuries, to refpea
Ithe rights ot others, and studiously to &
Ivoid not only the outrage and the inhu^
Imanity, but even the incivility of which
I itfelf complains. It is hoped that Ame-
Iricans will be as distinguished for their
I juftice and humanity, as lor their braver,
I and love of tru liberty. If,on the con-
Itrary,any of the officers or crews of A-
I merican armed vessels Shall pra&ice any
I cruelty or inhumanity, contrary to tbe
I usage of civilized nations, the offenders
I will be Severely punished. ,
3d. For the purposes of the a& afore-
I said, you will confider the " high feat"
I to extend to low water mark on all the
■ coasts of France and her dominions and
I of all places fubjed to her power, in any
I part of tbe world ; and exercise accord-
I ingly the powers of capturing and recaps
I turing, granred by the aa aforefaid. By
r the fame rule, feeing a war exists be-
I tween Greatbritaim and France, you
I may capture and recapture, as aforefaid,
I on all the coasts of the British domin-
I ions, and of all places fobjea to the Bri
■ liQi power : but you are to retrain from
I exercising the afotefaid powers ofcapiur
lingling and recapturing, in waters, which
I are under the protection of any other
Inations, that their peace and sovereign-
Ity may remain unviola red. If, however,
I any armed French vessel, reg^rdlefs of
Ithe rights of these other nations, Shill,
■within their jririfdiaional limrs, attack
I or capture any vtffel goods or±ft&, the
Iproperty of citizens of or residents in the
■ U. States, and you are' able to attack
■ and take such armed French vessel or to
Iretake1 retake her prize, within the jurifdiaion
lal limits of such nati ns, you are to de
lit ; provided their governments refprc-
I lively, or the commanders or governors
1 in chief in such places, give their permit
I Sion.
I 4th. The matter or pilot, and one or
I more Os the principal persons of the
I company of every armed French veffe!,
I captured as a forefaid, are ro be sent, as
I soon after tbe capture as may be, to the
I Judge or Judges of the proper courtin
I the United States, to be examined upon
■ oath touching the interest or property &f
ifhe captored veftel ind her lading; and
lit the fame time are to be delivered to
|the Judge or Judges, all passes, charter
■part res;bills of lading, invoices, letter#
I and other d&meDts, and wrrin gs found

Iby tbe captoring vessel or force other per
[fon present at the capture, to be produ
ced as they were received, without fraud;
