MARITIME COMPACT,
Or an ahociation of nations for the pro-

nations that may be neutral in time Of
war, addrefed to the nations, by a

WHEREAS the inconvenience: and in
juries to which the commerce and rights of
neutral nations are expofed in time of ma
rhine war, render it absolutely necenary
that a law of nations be found to pre-
vent a continuation or repetition of thofe
injuries, in all times to come, and to fe-
cure to neutral nations the exercife of their
juf rights; we the undersigned powers
have formed the following afociation and
compact, efablihing thereby a Law Of
nations with refpeet to the Tea.
Art. I. That the common rights ofna-
tons, fuch as are exerciled by them in the
time of peace, in their intercourse with
each other, are, and ought to be, the
rights of neutral nations at all times; be-
caufe they have not forfeited them, and
cannot Of right be loft to them, in COME
quence of war breaking out between any
two or more nations. Such war being al
together the ad Of the nations mailing it,
and not Of the neutral nations, cannot in
itfelf, or in its consequences, affect the
rights Of nations neutral and continuing
