the Naval Forell9f Englimil, ofthe notification 'which he has
m tde tb the Neutral Governments, cohcerping the Blockade of
the Torts of this 'Colony, which he has thought himself:able
to Undertake; spri.tetiditig 'to 'shut them -against strangers, to
whom he goes so far as to declare, that it is his intention to
capture them evetimit,heir going out. A measure so opposite
to the Laws Of Nations,- and 19 th••;' Rights of Neutrality, has'
' 'doubtless astonished your Excellency no less than mc. It is to
•be presumed, that that (l ftii)ery perceivingshe advantages as,
sured to strangers by my Proclamation ; struck_with tlie spec-
tacle of the field, offired. to their-industry:-b6 the opening of
all the t'grtsof a Colony so interesting as,Martinique ; per. ,
suaded of the advantages- which. the -Ftertich Government
'would thence reciprocally derive, was sensible that the en-
' terprising spirit of speculation could +not be repressed by
ordinary obstacre's.'l3tit in casting yotireyes 'on the chart of this*
Colony, your Excellency 'cannot but perceive, and convince
:such owners of vessels as may be inclined to make shipments
:fur our ports, how illusory is such a blockade, undertaken by a
'single Ship and One-oftwasloops,of war (fur this is all the force
tthat at present appears,on our coast), since thereis riot u road
nor a creek of the Colony which is not open to strangers, and
where t heydo not enjoy the protedionot oor bat tetie.s, at which
the inhabitants of the Ctiknyllo duty with zeal beyond all
praise, finding daily their reward In the althost uninterrupted
arrival' of the necessary supplies ; while they who bring.:
theta .those supplies, are •in their turn rewarded 'be the •
profitable markets occaSioned by the present state of aiEairs.
