The attention ofshe public has been cal.
ed by an opposition of the newspapers to
certain disputes said to subsiss between
his majesty's- government aud The AneEl.
can minister, in consequence of some late
decisions Of our prize tribunals.
The sabjecsis one ofeqnal delicacy and
importance, and we are well assured that
it will receive from administration all thai.
serious attention..which the paper alluded
10 recommends.
We are equally confident tha.it the
neutral government have any well.foandsd
complaints against British caPtors, they
will have no difficulty in obtaining re-
dress.
But when i, is pretended that the caas.
of complaints arises, net in the conduct OF
our cruizers, but ia the judgement OF me
Lords Commissioners, OF Prize Appeals,
and of Sir William Scott, the Judge of the
Court Of Admiralty, the pubic will notibs
very ready 70 believe that the American
minister has any real grievance to aaedgs
the impartial'.y of these right hon. person
ages who administer Justice between natl

foreign powers, cannot be doubted !; NOT
can Europe boast ola judge superior 70
Sir William Scott, either in learning, tai.
ents:or integrity /; or whose decisions nave
given more general satisfaction.
We should therefore be Inclined to sup
pose the complaints utterly unfounded, e.
ven if we had no particular information OF
the nature Of the case 10 question. But we
are enabled to assert that the statement
in the paper to,which we ailude, IS gross'|
ly inaccurate, andishas instead of the Ams'|
