jtstj’s forces, and to the judges cl
the vice admiralty courts io the
West-Indies, should the smallness o<
the island of Curracoa still render ne
cessary any distinction of the invest
ment being confined to particular
ports.” Mr. Merry here alludes to the
orders sent from the admiral y office
to Commodore Hood in relation to
Martinique and Guudaloupe.
Sir William Scott, on pronouncing
judgment on the ittth of December,
1798, in the high court of admiralty,
in the case of the Betsey, Murphy
master, said—“ The word complete
(alluding to a blockade) is a word ol
great energy, and we might expect
Ir .m it to find that a number of vessels
were stationed round the entrance ol
the port to cut off all communication.”
lie further said, “The. lords cf ap.,
pral have determined that such a pro
clamation (declarirgthe French islands
in a state of complete blockade) was
r.ot in itself sufficient to constitute a
1 gal blockade.” (See Robinson’s Ad*
m ralty Reports, vol. 1. page 79.]
Thus, the law of nations ; the Bri
tish convention with Russia; the or
deis of the admiralty office of Gr»-a!
Britain; the assurances of the En
glish ministerresident near the United
btate«, twice given in one day ; and
the decision of a learned judge of the
British high court of admiralty, all
coincide in declaring that a naval force
must be actually stationed before a
port, so as to make the entrance dan
gerous, in order to constitute a legal
blockade.

principles of public law, and careless
of her own reputation, has set up a
rule of conduct w ith respect to block
* ades, which subjects to her caprice
and her naval armaments, whenever
cruising, the whole commerce of a
neutral nation. She declares, for ex
ample, bv an order in council, the en
tire coasts of Europe in a state ol
blockade ; and, without placing an a
dequate force before any of the ports
on the line of coast thus interdicted,
seizes, wherever her ships of war can
find them, neutral vessels bound to a
ny port within that line.
This belligerent mode of action, in
the present condition of the world, o
prrates precisely in the same manner
upon the Americans, inrela ion to the
ports thus placarded, as an actual bloc
kade of the ports of the U. States by
the lfr.tish fleets; for, in the latter
case, American vessels would be bloc
kaded in tlv ir own harbors; and, iu
the former they arc not permitted tc
approach the coasts of continental Eu
rope without being captured, which
amoun'3 to the same thing as if they
were not permitted to put to sea at all
To suffer our merchantmen to go out,
and then capture them half seas ovei,
or m ar the port of destination, is tc
say t<> the U. Stares, “ your vessel?
may sail into the ocean, hut they shah
not trade with our euemy it we can
catch them before they get there.’
And what is this but an active princi
ple of hostility against Ameiica?
Something of .h s kind w as attempt
ed Ly E> g’ai d am^he United Provin
cts tew aids the close of the seven
teenth century. ** In the treaty ol
Whitehall, (sa)s Vattel, book 3, ch. 7
§ 112,) signed on the 22d of August
2 G89, they agreed to notify to all states
not at war with Fiance, that they
would attack, and previously declared
every ship bound to, or coming out ol
the harbors 01 that Kingdom, to be t
lawful prize : Sweden and Denmark,
from whom some ships had been ta
ken, entered into a counter-treaty on
the 17;h cf March, 1693, for maintain
ing their tights, and procuring just sa*
tisfaclion. And the maritime powers,
perceiv ng that if.e complaints of the
crowns w ere well grounded, did
them justice.*’ In the trade of com
mon goods (saVs Vactel, in the same
» Ction> neutr.d nations are to enjoy
an entire liberty. An attempt to mo
lest or .destroy this trade would he it
l>r» ath c t the rights r f neutral nations,
a flagrant injury io them.**
h.decd, the k g .lity of a mere bloc
kade, ev<n by force, against neutrs
trad , was, formeily veiy equivocal,
and, for that reason, it was frequently
made a topic of arrangement in tren
ties- Nay, the stipulations of treaties
in this respect, included places be
sieged. This will be found to be the
c >se in the 7th section of the marine
tr-a»y hit etn the king of Spain rod
the State! Grrer d, the 17th of Decem
ber, 1630; in the 9th section of the
treaty ol cotnmer' c between the French
king and the Suites General, the 27th
o! April, 1662; in the 4th section «|
the marine Meaty between the king ol
Kr.gland and the States General, the
1st of December, 1674-; in the lGth
section erf the treaty of commerce be
tween the king of France and tht
S'strs General, «he iGfh of August,
1678; and in the l(*th section of the
treaty i f commerce between the king
of Sweden and the tame states, the T2»h
ol October, t$tT9, and many others,
(n all these iusitfi'C* S it was provided
“ that evt n thus* things, wh-ch are not
contraband, shall not ne carried to ci
ties and place* b€*ieged.v* This
shews lharthe public !$w was not ct tha.
time settled on this head ; and that, in
fact, neutrul pretensions extended to
the holJing intercourse with a place
actually besieged j so that the bellige*
rent right ol what is now considered
lawful blockade, (with force) may, it
self, be regarded as having been, ori
ginally, an encroachment upon the
commerce of neutrals. Great Britain,
therefore, by her placarding system
not only destroys the equitable modern
rule, hut violates more glaringly the
ancient maxims of the law of n t ons.
Another thing is important to be
observed in relation to the British
practice, which is, that by posting a
lew ships of war at the mouth of a sea
or river, :hey pretend to blockade all
the ports on the margins of ihat river
or sea. This is not lawful. The force
must no^ be stationed before the port;
the entrance to each particular place
must be blocked up. It is this defini
tiun of a blockade which furnishes the
reason why a proclamation is not legal
notice, and why an actual warning
from one. of the blockading squadaon
is r quired ; for if prod tmations or
orders in council were to be regarded
as sufficient notices, and no force was
to be stationed at the entrance of each
particular port, it is evident that there
can be no safety for a vessel departing
trom the United States for a foreign
market. There will be an uncertainty
in her destination which must tend to
defeat the object of the voyage. Ex
perience has verified this assertion in
! numberless instance?.
I as a case in point, pourtraying the
flagrant mal-practices of the British,
the blockade of the canal of C rfu
' may be-referred to. This canal is the
marine passage to the Adriatic sea, ou
the shores of which are Trieste, bi~
ume, and other ports. By the English
d< ctrine these places must all be con
jsidtred as blockaded, notwithstanding
: there is not a single ship of war before
them ! This is totally contrary to the
stipulation contained in the Russian
treaty; and diametrically opposite to
I the principle of blockade avowed by
j the British government through Mr.
| Merry, in his letter to Mr. Madison,
wherein the Admiralty does not consi
der any blockade as existing, “ unless
in respect of particular ports which
may be actually invested.”
On the same doctrine that the C3nal
of Corfu is blockaded, the English
government might, by placing a few
men of war at four or live leagues dis_
tance from our shores, in a position
parallel to the mouths of the bays and
rivers of the ports of the TJ. S ates,
| declare the canals of the ocean in a state
of blockade. It would be merely an
j extension of their prevailing principle
j of action; and we may rely upon it,
if we suffer Great Britain Uo exercise
this unlawful power without opposition
even in the smallest degree, she will,
at a more convenient season, enlarge
it so as to embrace the whole world.
n__ /.l _ T Ik 11 n ts
VII wmi* JUI. UUII, cc rac. 1ID. J,
ch. 1, sec. 5,) insists that a neutral
shall not be hindered from intercourse
, with ports merely bl ckaded^in mer
chandize not contraband of war, unless
| a surrcndv r of the place, or peace, be
expected. This limitation, although
it is condemned by Bjnkershoek and
more modern writers, corroborates
the fact, that blockades were ancien ly
construed more favorably for neutral*
than at present. And this shews the
absolute necessity of neutral states
making a stand against further infrac
tions of their rights; lor, if ever\
thing be yielded to the passions o
great and warlike powers, there will
soon be an entire destruction of neu
trality during the prevalence of war.
Nor can the plea of necessity he ac*
cepterl as an apology for such violati
ons ; because it is opposed by an equal
neces-ily on the other p rt; for, if
there be a necessity for a nation at war
to crush the rights of neutrals, there
is as great a necessity for neutral stales
to resist it. The doctrine of stlf-pre
serva'h n applies to the latter as well
as to the former, inasmuch as the ver)
1 existence of neutrality depends up'>n
the observance of its maxims by na„
tiors at war. Ha pa'de infraction* of
those maxims would produce quarrels,
which would lead the neutral to war j
and thus, states Would no longer have
it iu th^ir power to remain neutral,
but would be driven into war by the
wanton provocations of belligerent no
verei^ns. The only way to prevent
■his deplorable state of things, is to
maintain the established law, and nut
to suffer it to be violated with impuni
ty.
In Browr.c’a Compendious View of
the Civil Law, that wriier, citing the
* Ste Lit on Cup'vru, pp Ji<>, 15r,
decisions of the British Admiralty
Courts '.s reported by Robinson, vol.
2, pp, 310,317 lays down the follow- j
ing principles ol blockade, to wii:
1. tl Due notice of the blockade may
be by the simple fact, or by a notifica
tion accompanied with the fact.”
2. “ When the notification is not ac
companied with the fact, as was the
case of a procl unation in the West In
dies in 1794, it is not sufficient.”
3. u Where it is a blockade de facto,!
it should be notified by the blockading
force, to vessels going in.”
4. “ The meaning of the blockade
is not to be extended by the force bloc
kadi ng.”
All the pri cipl°s contended for in
this respect, therefore, by the United
States, have been acknowledged and
acted upon by the English government
in its solemn judicial character, have
been delivered in collegiate lectures
and given-- to the world by learned ci
vilians as fixed and unchangeable rules
of public law. Add to this the provi
sions of the convention between Eng
land and Russia entered into on the
17ih of Juue-- 1801, wherein the provi
sion of the convention of the 21st of
February, 1797, relative to blockades,
i* not only formally renewed between
those two powers ; but it is also provi.
ded “ that the ships of the neutral pow
er shall navigate freely to the ports &
upon the coasts of the nations at war.*’
And it will be very difficult, indeed,
for the British government to advance
a solitary argument in favor of its pre
sent anti-neutral system.
'r*i • • • . « .
m. iic pi uvisious contained in me x\us
.sian treaty ought to have the most
weight, from the circumstance of their
having grown out of an actual contest
between G. Britain and a confederacy
forvned between Russia, Sweden, Den
mark, and Prussia, for the vindication
jof neutral rights. On that occasion
; the emperor of Russia laid an embar
go on all the English shipping in his
ports, and marched the masters and
crews into the interior of ihe empire ;
the Prussian troops entered the baili
wick of Ritzebuttel; the Danes siezed
Hamburg; and notwithstanding the
British success in the bloody battle of
Copenhagen, the northern powers
were not brought to English terms, e
ven after tne assassination of Paul
I, whose death was supposed to Yiave
oeen the effect of the political strug
gles of that time, No hing less than
a conventional acknowledgement of
the established lav/ of neutrality on the
part of G. Britain could dissolve the
Northern Confederacy. She is now
playing her old game, and must again
be brought to her senses.
In case, therefore, Eogland should
continue her blockading system by or
ders in Council, after the repeal of her
other orders, the U. States having the
right, will no doubt have the spirit to
oppose British innovation and naval
despotism* And this can be done in
no way more efficient than ty an em
bargo, a non-intercourse ; or, what is
s ronger in ellect, a general non-im
portation system.

“ The time which lias elapsed during
which the enemy has remained on the
irontiers of Portugal, must have proved to
ihe Portuguese nation what they have to
expect from the French. The inhabitants
ot some villages have remained in them,
confiding in the promises of thip enemy,
and hoping that by treating with the ene.
tmes oi'their country, they might conciliate
and mollify them, and inspire them with
humane senkments, that their property
would he respecud, their females preser*
ved from brutal violation, and their lives se
“Vain hopes ! The inhabitants of these
submissive places have suffered all the e.
vils which a cruel enemy could inflict_
their property has bten plundered, their
habitatiohs burnt, the women atrociously
violated, and those whose age and sex did
not provoke the brutal violence of the sol
diers, have fallen victims to the imprudent
confidence which they placed in promises
made only to be broken
“ The Portuguese must now see that no
other means remain to avoid the evils with
which they are threatened, but a deter
mined and Vigorous resistance, and a fir m
resolution to obstruct as much as pussiole
the advance of the enemy into the interior
of the kingdom, by remov.ng out of his
reach all such things as may contribute to
his assistance, or facilitate h s progress
This is the omy and most c.rtam means
to prevent the ev is wi'h which tins coun

I command will protect as large a portion
of the country as is possible, but it is ob
vious that the people alour. c.»u deliver
themselves oy a vigorous resistance, and
'preserve their goods by removing them out
of the reach ot the enemy. Tne duties
therefore that bind me to ui3 royal high
