sound principles, we have to osdae what is
the high sea aid tie. closed sea, in order to
aistins uish the territorial sea. It will admit
OF no doubt, and all writer's agree, that We
ought to cali closed sea, and ike. 70 guiphs,
that Of which all the shores, as well as the
mouth which corresponds with tie high sea,
belongs to the same only nation.
Sect 9. The writer's who have treated Oh
maritime law, do rot admit the pretensions
set up by some powers, to the sovereignty OF
the gulphs Of which the coast does not belong
to them in totality: such as that Of the repub-
lie OF Venice to tie Adriatic sea, and that OF
England to the channel. T4ey arc also Of the
same opi;sion as 70 some spaces OF sea which
do not form guph, as the Ligagisn sea with
respect 10 Genoa.
Sect. 4. Although at this day the opinion
Of writer's in general, as have shewn IN tn
secona article, and that according TO the con-
sent Of all the maritime nations, it cannot be
doubted that the power which possesses the
shore is al tie same time sovereign Of The cir
circumjacent sea; yet there is not with re-
spect to that dominion, the same uniformity
and still less universal consent OF nations,
(Which peace, and the interest OF trading natl
.ons, requigel as to the extent OF that sove-
reignty.
Sect. s. In the time of the famous Bald,ss,
it WAS pretended that the territorial sea ex-
tended SO miles from TIE shore. Bodia is OF.
tie same opinion AMI SO is Targa. Locco-
MUS fixes the extent at the distance of two
days Journey from the coast, and Grotius Ii
nlits it to that which may be defended from
the shore.
Sect. 9. Hubner, acknowledging how diff
cult it is to fix with precision the extent of
sea within the jurisdiction of the proPrietors
the coasts, concludes that its extent should
be equal to the distance of cannon shot.
Sect. 10. Vattei adopts this opinion.
Sect. / i. Bynkershock agrees with this
principle.
Sect. Is. In this conflict of opinions SO con-
trary, / adhere to THAT which |. have hereto
fore adopted. Laliani's.
4 Sect. Is will say, then, that it seems. to:
zne, the most certain method to fix the ex-
tent of the terr.itosal sea adjoining to straight
coasts, is, to coniihe it to the space which a.
ball will pass when shot from {. cannon, or to-
that to which q bomb from mortar on the
shore can reach a vessel. I add that this opi-
MON is conformable to the usage which is re-
ceived, of calling territory in common law all
the space in which the magistrates Or officers
can enforce the execution ofthe orders of their
sovereign by the forces which are coBhded toll
them, or by the fear of them. 1t would then
be reasonable, without examining if the soye-
reign Of the territory possesses any tower or
battery advanced, that in all cases the territo-l
rial sea should extend threesiailes by fixed de-
termination, which it cannot be denied is the!t
greatest distance powder will send a bulletSor|
a bomb.

That died untimely in the blast;
Of long, long years of future care,

And endless ages of despair,

And while her numbers flow,
My Spirit trembles through the strings,
And every note is full Of woe.

And wake this wild harp's clearest

In Sorrows musick feels relief.
Thus DER the light Eolian Tyre,

Touch the quick nerve Of every wire,
And on It's magick pulses play;

tales. About forty years ago, as the
story goes, one of the inhabitants Of the
place went to the famous town of lou
lon on business, and rejecting, on his
return, on the disposition OF his country
men to believe and report strange news,
he thought Of a scheme to surprise them.
Accordingly when Elen asked for news,
he reported that tree had Just grown

Ion, 50 big and strong, with branches ex-
tending from side to side, SO thick and
difficult TO be removed, that the royal
navy could neither pass in nor go out Of
