.of an en-
lightenect.nation, which has brought the arts Ofeivi-
lization to perfection, would have given the earliest
instances 'of the return of the savage ages; That
Government' is fully impressed with the justice of
. its naval code,. • But .vvliat-has that Government to
do with justice, which only inquires. for profit ? _
" When' France-Shall have established her naval.
power,' which, with the extent of her coasts and her
population, will be soon accomplished, ben will the
Emperor
„reduce these principles to practice,. and
apply his' mandate to render it universal. Theo-4;11w..
or• rather the usurpatinn of blockading rivers and
coasts by proclamation, is palpably contrary to rea-
son.. and equity. A' right cannot possibly spring
from the will of an interested party, but must eV.
'Ways .be founded on the natural relations of things.
A Place is not properly" blockaded, unless it be be-
sieged. by land and water. It is blockaded to pi e-
vent the introduction of assistance, by Which the
surreeder of ~the place might be protracted ; and
then we have only the right to prevent neutral ships
from er,Lring the port, when the place is thus cir-
ctinistaneed, and the possession of it is a inat tt.T .of
doubt
_between the besiegers and b.eieged. On this
is gronnded the right to le event neutrals from enter-
. •
ing the. place,.
The soveteegrity ail.: independence of its flag,
like the soveiciqty and independence of its,teiri-
tory, is the property of every. neutral. . A &6to
ma transftr itself to another state; it,tnay destroy
the archives of its independence, baud pass from
Prince to Prince ; but the right of,soyereignty, is
indivisible andunalieriable ; can renounce it.
" England, has placed-France in a state of block-
ade. The Emperor has, in his decree of Berlin,
declared the British islands in a state els blockade—
The first of, these regulations forbids neutral vessels
to Proceeno France ; the second prohibited their
entering 'English. harbours.
England 'has, by her Orders in Council of the
11th of Novembe,r, 1807, levied an impost oli neu-
tralships,. and obliged them to enter its ports before
they_ sail to France.' By the Decree of the 17th of
December of the saine • year, the Emperor has
decreed, that all ships be nationalized which had:
entered .Enelish ports, or submitted to be searched.
" In order to ward off the' inconveniencies with,
which tin's state of things threatened her commerce,
America laid an ernbafgo in all her_harbours; and
altoough,France had wine nothing more than used
the right of retaliation, its wants, and these, of its
colonieS, Suflered much from this measure; yet did
the Empewr magnanimously connive. at the pro-
ceeding, en order .rather to endure the prlvation of
commerce then tp acknowledge the authothy of the
usurpers of the seas.
The enlarge was raised, and a system of non-
intercourse was substituted tot it.. '['he powers on
the,Cqntineift in alliance with. England having the
same objet in view, made. a ceninion cause . with
her, that they might derive the same advantages.—
The.harbours of Holland,- of the Elbe, 'of the AVe•
sere of Italy, and of Spain were„to enjoy those be-
nefits from which France_ was to, be excluded ; and
.the one and the other were to he opened or closed to
commerce' as circumstances rendered expedient, so
as France was bereft of it.. •
Thus, Sir, in point of principle, France re
cognizes the freedom of neutral commerce, and the
independence of the Inaritime poWers; which she
respeCted up to the moment when. the maritime ty-,
rawly .of England, that respetts nettling, and the
arbitrary proceedings of its Gnvernment, compelled
,her to adoet tne::tsures of retaliation, W ti She.

by their firmness. Can a nation, resolvedtt remain

and the great cause 'of maintaining her independ-
