FROM THE BALTIMORE FEDERAL Ga
ZET1E.
COMMUNICATION.

Some remarks in the Fedora! Gazette,
under date Ike zS;h infant, relative to
French ipoilations, have drawn my atten-
ton to the iubjett, ] do not think the
petition correct, Thar every govern
ment is hoaaa to Protstt tie pe:fons ard
property of its citizens, asai,,a the lawleis
enterprise, ard unwarrsnsab!e hohiIity OF
other nations nor that the goyernncnt is
bound to Indemnify its citizens, fer ipoli-
ations Of this kind"
The governmcn, h,s Discretionary
COVER ;,and he tiga: Of judging, how far
1t will be proper TO hazard the peace OF
the nation; expend its treaiure, &c
protect the per!ons and property Of its CT
t,zcrs, adventuring for tie fake OF private
intcrsf ana ernolument, beyond the limits
of its jar;i33itsion, q; 'r.be pisjtnt iyfauee;
and i, frequently is a dictate ofthe found
sf policy, to leave tlle!e adventures to
thei. fate, or faffer them to rely On the
laws Of thoie countries, whittier the lpi-
rit of adventure has carried them, fer
juaice and protection; but within the ju-
rldiction of the government, every ci,i-
zen is entitled to the protection of the
laws.
Think the government bound, in no in
ttance, to indemnify its citizens for poll
atoms of this kind, unlefs in cafes where
the citizen has expoied bis property to
hazard, under the authority ofthe govern
ment, and 70. lis ufe and benefit o, where
he is, far reafsns Of pate, preciudea by
the government, from profecusins his
claims againa his fpoilia,crs., Where an
enterprise is undertaken, with view to
individual benefit, it does not COMFORT
with my ideas Of juRice, or the principles
Of our focal cenpact, that the govern
uent, ihoald run the riR, or indemnify if
the adventure nsftarry. " They who
dance ihould pay tbs piper" But the
claims Of American citizens for French
ipoliAions (taad, conceive, &C very .dlf-
ferent ground.
1t appears from the late convention
with The French republic and other docu-
men,s, that when tho American nesociators
brought forward the lpo'ia,ions committed
on our commerce, the Fcsach ct up a
claim egai.2 tte govfrsuent eft6s U"'sa
States, for certain treaties arfipn!ahoss in
treaties, which they a!ledged had been vi
olased, OF for delinquency in the fulfil
nent of IFS engagements. The pa:ties, it
appears, could not agree on tie inden'nities
that were mutually due in ,..,e.e re:petas.
But they did agree, as il the iecond a'ti-
Gle Of the convention, xasv rxjs:ea, that
,his ihould be the lubje6t CT future nego-
citation between the contracting parties.
The government CT ,':e United States re-
seaed This article in tote ard propoied
aothins n liea Of il. but "a siasd tie con-
vsntion, with she, exception thereof, and
me little mod:arlllca, IS to The duration
Il the COMBAT.
The convention thas partially ra,:aed
