An assortment of...

...the possession of the city of ... ...the only evidence of the legitimacy of his descent from the Roman Regulus...
...Washington Regulus adds with an air of triumph, "Nothing can be more explicit; and Rutherford is a writer of too exalted a reputation to require any recommendation."
...the obvious and contemplated result of such proceedings as that of Regulus is war with Great-Britain. In such an event, an alliance of the United States with France would be more than possible.
...the present ministry will not resort to this source of revenue. But even if they wished it, they could not succeed.
...the only visible motive of Great Britain in commencing the war of '56, was to secure a monopoly of the fur trade with the Indians.
...the possession of Canada is of importance to Great Britain, she would not suffer us to retain it with impunity.
...the possession of the city of ... ...the only evidence of the legitimacy of his descent from the Roman Regulus...
...the instructions given to the minister contain the master's secret mandate, the orders to which the minister must carefully conform, and which limit his powers.
...Vattel's Institutes are a course of lectures on the law of nature. Vattel gives an account of the practice and "well grounded customs" of nations, by which the laws of nature are sometimes superceded.
...Sovereigns treat with each other by their proxies who are invested with sufficient power, and who are commonly called plenipotentiaries.
...the latter is not obliged to stand to it. (Id. Ibid. sect. 20.)
...At present, in order to avoid all danger and difficulty, princes reserve to themselves the ratification of what has been concluded upon in their name, by their ministers.
...the full power is nothing but a procurator cum libera. If this procurator was to have its full effect, they could not be too circumspect in giving it.
...The voyage will be a short one; and the object, we trust, will be prosperous.
...The city of Trieste shall supply within the space of one month, for the service of the army, 10,000 cloaks, 50,000 shirts, 50,000 pair of shoes, 6000 pair of boots, and 10,000 pair of spatterdashes.
...The intendant-general of the army, the intendant-general of the finances, and the receiver-general of the contributions, are charged with what concerns the execution of the present decree, which they shall notify to the chief of the staff of the army.
