INTERESTING.
DECISION OF THE COUNCIL OF PRIZES,
Between John Green, commander of the ship Pigeon, of Philadelphia, acting by Henry L. Waddel, supercargo and co-proprietor of said ship...
After having read the opinion of the Commissioners of the Government, left in writing on the table, which is as follows:
It appears that a judgment of the Tribunal of Commerce at L'Orient, had granted captain Green the replevy of his vessel and part of the goods and specie which composed the cargo...
The grounds on which rested the decision of the Tribunal of Morbihan, were that the vessel was armed for war without any commission or authorization from the American government...
The captured, claim the nullity of the prize, and that the vessel be reinstated in the situation she was in when captured...
To be able to determine on the respective demands, we must first fix upon the validity or invalidity of the prize...
In this case was the Tribunal of Morbihan authorized to determine that the ship Pigeon was in such circumstances as to be prevented from being acknowledged and respected as Neutral.
It is said the vessel was armed for war, and without any authorization from her government...
The captured reply that the vessel being bound to India, was armed for her own defence...
A vessel consisting but of a small crew, and whose cargo in goods amounted to a considerable sum, was evidently intended for trade and not for war.
I am now to discuss the second argument against the captors on the want of a Role d'Equipage, attested by the public officers of the place of her departure.
To support the validity of the prize, they allege the regulation of the 21st October 1774, of the 26th July 1778, and the decree of the Directory of the 12th Ventose, 5th year...
The captured on their part claim the execution of the Treaty of Commerce between France and the United States of America of the 6th Feb. 1778...
It is a fact that the regulations of 1774 and 1778, and the decree of the directory, require a role d'equipage attested by the public officers of the place of the departure.
I will begin with the principle that all questions on neutrality, are what are called in law questions bona fide...
Neutrality is to be proved—for this reason, the regulation of marine of 1681, art. 6, on prizes states that be considered as good prizes the vessels with their cargoes which shall not have on board charter parties, bills of lading, nor invoices.
From the same motives the regulations of 1744 and 1771, put the commanders of neutral vessels under obligation of proving at sea their property being neutral...
The regulation of 1774, whose enacting parts have been renewed by the Directory, literally expresses among the papers requisite to prove neutral property, there must be a role d'equipage in due form.
But it would be a gross error in believing that the want of, or the least irregularity in one of these papers could operate so far as

to cause the vessel to be adjudged good prize.
Sometimes regular papers cover an enemy's property which other circumstances annul. In other circumstances the stamps of neutrality break through ommissions and irregularities, in the forms proceeding from a mere negligence, or grounded on motives free from any fraud.
We must speak to the point, and in these matters as well in those which are to be determined, not by mere strict forms, but by the principles of good faith; we must say with the law: that mere omissions or mere irregularities in the forms cannot prejudice the truth, if it is stated by any other ways; and si aliquid ex solemnibus deficiat cum equitas possit subveniendum est.
Therefore the regulation of the 26th July, 1778, article 2, after having stated that the masters of neutral vessels shall prove at sea their property being neutral, by passports, bills of lading, invoices and other vessel papers, adds one of which at least shall establish the property being neutral, or shall contain an exact description of it.
It is, not then necessary in every case to prove the property neutral by the simultaneous concurrence of all the papers enumerated in the regulations. But it is sufficient according to the circumstances, that one of these papers establish the property, if it is not opposed or destroyed by mere peremptory circumstances.
The main point in every case is, that the judge may be satisfied that the property is neutral or not.
We have a precedence of what I assert, in the art. 6. of the regulation of the 21st October, 1744; by that article every vessel belonging to what nation soever, neutral, enemy or ally, from which papers shall be proved to have been thrown overboard, shall be adjudged as good prize; or the proof only of the papers having been thrown overboard; nothing can be more explicit.
Some difficulties arose on the execution of that severe clause of the law, which has been received by the regulation of 1778.
On the 13th November, 1779, the King wrote to the admiral, that he left entirely to him and to the commissioners of the council of prizes to apply the rigidity of the decree, and of the regulation of the 26th of July, or to moderate their clauses as peculiar circumstances would require it in their opinion.
A judgment of the Council of the 27th December in the said year, rendered between Pierre Brandebourg, master of the Swedish ship Fortune and Madame Rogre dourdan, captain of the King's Xebec the Fox, liberated the said vessel notwithstanding some papers had been thrown overboard. It was determined that to ground an adjudication of the vessel on the papers being thrown overboard, they ought to be of such nature as to prove the property enemy's, and that the captors ought to have had an account in throwing his papers overboard; which was not the case with the Swedish captain.
In this case without discussing whether American captains are obliged or not, to exhibit a Role d'Equipage, attested by the public officers of the place of their departure, I observe that this Role is supplied by the passport, and that the captured alleged the impossibility for them to have their Role d'equipage attested by public officers in Philadelphia, since the intercourse was forbidden, under pain of death, with Philadelphia, where a most tremendous epidemic was raging — I must add, that the passport, the invoice, and all the vessel's papers, establish evidently the property of the vessel and cargo being neutral; none of these papers have ever been destroyed. Thus the invalidity of the capture is obvious; whence it follows that every thing which has been taken from them, ought to be restored in lieu or by a just indemnification.
As to their claim for damages and interest — I must observe that such a claim is not in every case the sequel of the invalidity of the capture. Suspicious proceedings of the capture, may occasion the mistake of the captors. But when the injustice on the part of the captors cannot be excused, the captured have a right to damages and interest.
Let us apply these principles to the cause. Could the captors entertain any grounded suspicion against the captain of the ship Pigeon; was not the neutrality of the ship proved by her being an American built ship, by her flag, by her destination, by the crew being composed of Americans, by her cargo consisting of American goods without any contraband articles, by the name and the character of captain Green, very well known by services he has rendered to the French nation, by the register, the passport, the invoice, by the papers on board, finally, by the place where she was captured, which was far from any suspicious destination. It was then impossible for the captors to count any mistake; the vessel struck her colours at the first summons, the officers and crew made faithful declarations, they answered plainly in their examination; no pretence whatever was left to the captors; they don't appear to have observed the forms prescribed by the regulation. Some very heavy charges are uttered against them — but I think it is not time yet to take notice of them, they will be discussed when the articles captured are restored.
In these circumstances I am of opinion, that a more absolute and full replevy be granted to captain Green of the American ship Pigeon, and her cargo, as well as the papers found on board; as to the claim of damages and interest, made by captain Green, that the former be granted to him, and they shall be settled by arbitrators in the usual form.
Paris, 6 Prairial 2d year.
(Signed) PORTALIS. The Council declare that the capture of the ship Pigeon and the cargo, is null and of no effect. Therefore, grant a full and absolute replevy of the vessel, rigging and apparel, together with the papers and cargo, to
captain John Green, as to the damages and interest claimed by captain Green, the council grant them to him, and they shall be settled by arbitrators in the usual form.
Done at Paris on the 9th Prairial, 8th year of the Republic.

MR. EDITOR.
HAPPENING to take up the Aurora of last Thursday, I cast my eye upon a long and tedious piece which I am totally unable to comprehend. From several pompous notices, which have lately been given out, in that paper, and from repeated promises of official documents which are to exhibit Mr. Tracy to the world, as a monster of iniquity and baseness, I have been induced to suppose that this farago of politics, nonsense, history, law suits, biography and what not, was intended as an attack, of some kind or other, upon the character of that gentleman. In perusing the theme, I found a number of columns filled with promiscuous abuse in the usual Aurora style, abounding in bold and slanderous assertions, with no other colour of support than the ipse dixit of the writer. At length, however, appears in capitals
THE DOCUMENT,
which, from its awkward inconsistency, I should take to be an intended libel upon little Aaron Smith, the lawyer, who is charged with having draughted it. How Billy Duane who has served a regular apprenticeship to the art of fabrication and falsehood, who gets his bread and his gin by the trade, and who values himself upon his adroitness in the business, should bungle in this manner, and disgrace and slander his friends, in the very act of attempting to traduce wise and worthy men, I cannot imagine.
Perhaps it may amuse some of your readers to take up the piece and examine the several disjointed parts as they there stand.
Most of the first column is occupied by general remarks upon the variety of sentiments entertained, by the supporters of government, on the subject of national measures. It has, for several months, been a favorite and hackneyed topic, with the writers in that paper, to boast of the wonderful harmony and unanimity, of the democrats, and to charge the federalists with diversity of opinion relative to public affairs. The fact is granted, and Dr. Swift shall account for it.
Says the Dean of St. Patrick's; "If we examine what societies of men are in closest union among themselves, we shall find them to be either those who are engaged in some evil design, or who labour under one common misfortune. Thus the troops of banditti in several countries abroad, the knots of highwaymen in our own nation, the several tribes of sharpesters, thieves and pickpockets, with many others, are so firmly knit together, that nothing is more difficult than to break or dissolve their several gangs. So likewise, those who are fellow-sufferers under any misfortune, such as that grievous persecution, of the modern kind, called want of power, are usually contracted into a very strict union. The reason why such confederacies are kept so sacred and inviolable is very plain; because, in each of those cases which I have mentioned, the whole body is moved by one spirit, in pursuit of one general end, and the interest of individuals is not crossed by each other or by the whole."
How far each of these causes, separately, or both combined operate to produce the boasted unanimity of the Jacobins, I leave to be decided by the consciences (if peradventure they have any) of certain Justices of the peace in Pennsylvania, and of certain Jacobin committees who earnestly recommend themselves, as suitable candidates to fill the vacant offices in the state at the next election.
"On the other hand, continues the Dean, "those who wish well to the public, and would gladly contribute to its service, are apt to differ in their opinions about the methods of promoting it, and when their party flourishes, are sometimes envious at those in power; ready to overvalue their own merit, and be impatient until it be rewarded by the measure which they have prescribed for themselves."
The remainder of this column is devoted to the abuse of Mr. Pickering, Mr. Hamilton &c. &c. Next follows what the writer calls, "a history of the politics of the State of Connecticut." The first sentence is totally unintelligible, unless to such as have been instructed in the language of the Aurora, and of Hibernia. In it, however, may be found the assertion, such as it is, that "the provincial administration were the marts of rapacity and corruption." This, I suppose, with Jacobin readers, who usually know as little of grammar and of English as the writer himself, will be sufficient to atone for a whole paragraph of senseless jargon; especially when their own ignorance and that of their author induce them to suppose that this administration was at the disposal and under the controul of the court of Great Britain. The sage historian then goes on to talk about "gangs of profligates, of noble or influential families dependants on the crown, who, in return for the corrupt services of their friends in parliament or elsewhere, were provided for in the colonial government offices."
Allowing all this and much more of the same kind to be true, I perceive not the inference or the application to Mr. Tracy. It is well known that that gentleman and all his family connexions were warm and hearty advocates for the revolution. But the truth is, that none of these "noble families" and "dependants on the crown" were ever in Connecticut. From the first settlement of that state to the present day, no office civil or military, was ever at the
disposal of the crown; and of course, none could be provided with "government offices," as he calls them, "in return for the corrupt services of their friends." The revolution has not changed the internal government of Connecticut, in a single title — not even with respect to the forms of elections or the appointment of executive and ministerial officers. These facts are palpable; and any school boy in America, who had read, in his geography, the nature of the several colonial governments, previous to the revolution, would be whipped for not knowing them. Billy is however false; for I believe there is no obligation upon a shameless Isth-warrant to know these things, and no law acknowledged or acted upon, by his writers, which obliges them to communicate either truth or falsehood.
To this succeeds an equally accurate, and so far as I can discern, an equally applicable story respecting Yale College and the clergy of Connecticut; a story altogether too false and too crude to stand in need of any refutation.
After wading through between two and three columns of this kind, which I suppose the writer himself would denominate THE TRASH, the weary and bewildered traveller is invit'd to resume his patience. The encouraging signal of THE FACTS, which he beholds hung out in capitals before him, induces him to proceed and to hope for a cleaner passage.
Let us accompany him then a little farther. Here, unless you have been accustomed to the Aurora, you will be surprised to find, under this promising title, that Mr. Tracy is impudently charged with the most flagrant dishonesty and the meanest falsehood without even a pretended proof of a single fact alleged. All that is pretended is, that an action was commenced against Mr. Tracy for the recovery of a sum of money. This may at all times be done at the instigation of a Kirby or any other democrat, against any man, however honest. Whether this action was a serious and honourable suit for the recovery of a just debt will sufficiently appear from an examination merely of this mighty
DOCUMENT,
which purports to be the copy of a writ of attachment, directing the proper officer to attach the property of Mr. Tracy to the amount of two thousand five hundred dollars, to be held in the custody of the law, IN ORDER FOR TRIAL; and, in case of a judgment FOR THE PLAINTIFFS, to satisfy a demand made upon him by certain merchants in New-York. The declaration alleges, that certain obligations, the property of the plaintiffs, had, by them been put into the hands of Mr. Tracy, for collection, and that he had, at different times, collected, but refused to pay over, the several sums there particularly mentioned — These by computation, will be found to amount to one thousand, three hundred and forty-one pounds, seven shillings and five pence, lawful money; in consideration of which several sums thus collected and unjustly detained, he is declared to be indebted to the plaintiffs, in the sum of six hundred and FIFTY POUNDS lawful money, for the recovery of which, with costs, this suit is declared to be brought.
Now, whether the plaintiffs, out of mere compassion to Mr. Tracy, kindly remitted a little more than half the sum which was thus wickedly and fraudulently detained, and which, from the items in the declaration, appears to have been justly due to them; or whether Billy's draughtsman only took care to put in enough, and had not time or talents to put them together and find the amount; or whether a certain tender-hearted, affectionate Jacobin, at Litchfield, happened involuntarily to fall in love with Mr. Tracy's seat in the Senate, and took this method to direct the affections of the people to the proper object, I will not attempt to determine. The case is fairly stated to the public who will judge for themselves.
I know nothing of Mr. Tracy's domestic affairs or private business. He may, for aught that I can say, have owed money which he could not, at the time, command. It has been the case of many worthy men, who have ruined their private fortunes in the public service, and who have met with similar gratitude as the reward of their sacrifices. But when such a thing as this is produced, under the name of a legal document, a thing upon which no court of law would suffer a trial to be sustained, a thing which carries, in its own own face, the most evident marks of having been suffered up for the sole purpose to which it is now applied; when such a thing, as this is employed to blast the reputation of a gentleman of high respectability and long tried integrity, and relied upon as a thing sufficient to prove him a cheat, a liar, a scoundrel, a downright Jacobin; and all this too, without the pretence of a legal adjudication, or even of a TRIAL, when this is the worst that Jacobin industry, envy and malice themselves can conjure up, I think that every man must, irresistibly and forcibly feel that the character of Mr. Tracy is indebted to the abortive efforts of his enemies, for a species of lustre, which his best friends and even his own bright actions could never have bestowed upon it.
