nation of the law of nations. Of the tromfatlions
imputed to Mr. DRAKE, we thooght that they dif-
covered much imprudence and imp rdednefs, but
no great criminality. Surely to exercife an aft 41
inch outrageous violence againft a Nimitter refiding,
on an independent neutral Rate, ought to have been
defended on better grounds than an alledged connee-
tieswisbanegair. the criminality of which is not efht-
bathed by adequate Proof. Nit ado 'of tf.i, nitnre
require little Jollification from BONAPLITE. He ex.
pelted to discover ferrets of importance, and what.'
ever be the preteit, he was happy to avail himfelf of
it to indolge his difpolition to commit a crime which
be hoped might torn to his advantage by the ditto-
vary of ferret Intrigues.
