SH CLAIMS AND COMMON
HONESTY.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. ~„
SIR;—No lover of honesty and fair play can have read tD'
debate (if it may be called such) of yesterday, on the Dan!!h
claims, without feelings of disgust. It really seems as if the
only object of the existence of' Government in this country
were to obstruct the course of justice and the claims of the
people for protection. It is deeply to be regretted that Mr.
Hawes stood alone, resting on the obvious justice and me,rit9
of his case only, while the Government, by an active whips
contrived, not by argument, but by mechanical votes, to defeat
once more the settlement of a case on the merits of which
the House of Commons has five times decided in the affirms'
tive. The speeches of the two Government mouthpieces
contained not one argument, and were solely made up el.,
what Sir Thomas Wilde recently well described as "
gtheite
denials." Permit me, having no personal interest in the
question, but that of a love of justice, and who has fakeh'
some pains to examine the facts of the case, to make a le,",
brief comments on the two Government speeches.
Mr. Goulburn adopted quite a new line of argineallti
and, for him, quite an amusing one ; he must have meant
it in gentle satire of the votes retained for the occasion. -',7
professed, forsooth, great consideration for the pockets of the
.:
people! Now, sir, I have always heard that England
sentially a commercial nation—that her merchants a!lis_bueseat
strength. In my school days I learned she was 5111 s
having divers seaports, whence myriads of merchant ships._,.:::
confic.ing in the protection of their native Government agswace,t.!
aggression, departed to all parts of the world, to bring b
again sources of wealth to their native shores. But all this o no:.
thing to Mr. Goulburn. To him she is some Hungary orPolancle
which, devoid of seaports, unencumbered by merchant fleets,
needs for such matter no consideration but contempt and
sneers. It is in this case the merchants of England who
have suffered for the alleged good of the whole country. lc'
whatever the events cost at the time these merchants con-
tributed their full share, and to any public cost now to com-
pensate their losses they will also contribute. And why are
they in addition to suffer these tremendous losses, this eon"
fiscation of their property, in order to put money in the
pockets of the King and Government? The pretence is as
shallow as it is hypocritical. For forty years they have had
promised and just compensation withheld, while Government
has all that time been in possession of its immense ill-gotten
plunder, obtained by the same act which ruined these
merchants, an act which morals have not language dark
enough to characterise. It was England which made the
aggression against a nation in profound peace with her;
made it in defiance of every law of nations and of honour,
and now English Ministers have the effrontery to talk of
these robberies as "captures made in the ordinary course of
war." It is not material now to show what is, however'
fact—that at first it was expressly alleged by Government
that these seizures were contrary to the usages of war and
the law of nations. England baying made such unprovoked
aggression, it is not to be wondered at that Denmark felt
justified, in her only self-defence, in herself violating thosela,"
and seizing English ships on a neutral sea, for these gill
were not seized on the high seas. This is a line of argument
not touched by Mr. Hawes, but very important, as Illso. a,
that other, also not touched by him, but in itself conclusive'
that England, in her confiscation of Danish property, lvsis:
guilty of a breach of positive English law; as a conseV,,,q,"
of which it li as that English property was confiscated. That
really settles the question.
It is curious that every lawyer consulted in this .c/vreer
has given his opinion in favour of the claimants, illrg: -ss.
convenient it might be, when in office, to desert that opinion.
No such sophistry as Mr. Cardwell used can alter or 15!,..`""
the fact, that the present Solicitor-General gave his opinion
that the ordinance of 16th August, 1807 (which no man "-;
yet read and honestly supposed it to be a declaration of war)'
was NOT a declaration of war. Every act and order in Coun-
cil of the English and of the Danish Governments confirll23
this opinion. Had 1 time, I could cite more than twenty
official documents in proof of it; and the first I would ci.te
.
i would be that very ordinance of the 9th September, which.
in such a Jesuitical, but truly "official" way, Messrs. Goul-
burn and Cardwell quoted, omitting carefully to state its whole
objects and contents, which are to recite that very ordinance
of 16th August, not as a declaration of war, but as an ordi"
nance for EMBARGO; and to proceed i: self, not to confiscate
English property, but to provide for its safe custody _
