The principles of Blockade.
A sufficient investing force to ren
der ingress or egress, by land or sea, to
or from a besieged place dangerous to
a neutral making the attempt after due
notification thereof by the besieging
power. After such notification of a
place so circumstanced, the attempt
to enter or depart therefrom, subjects
the property of persons concerned, to
capture and confiscation.
This doctrine is justified by the prac
tice of nations in their respective nego
tiations, and has been acceded to by G.
Britain. ,
The principles now set up by G. Bri
tain are, that one nation can blockade
the ports, rivers, harbors, bays, or
coasts of another, without an actual
and sufficient investing force, bv a mere
proclamation, after the date of which,
all property attempting to enter places,
declared on paper only, to be in a state
of blockade, becomes liable to seizure
and confiscation to the benefit of any
marauding cruizer which may happen
lo interrupt it, without the actual pre*
»ence of a sufficient investing or block
ading force—The fc.riner doctrines
have been admitted by all civilized na
tions: the latter have been opposed b\
.til civilized nations: the former were
advocated by every administration
which has been at the heim ot Ameri
can affairs; the latter is justified by
me party editors now sit ling them
elves federal. Fhe conclusion irre
sistibly is forced upon us, that the edi
tors now called federal are not iden
tified with the old federal school; but
with Mr Stephen's “ British party in
America,” in as much as the old fede
ral sch ol advocated doctrines which
the £s*cx junto are striving to ex
plode.—li. American.
