As it may be us zful, III enforcing tie justice
Of the present demand, 10 bring into visw ap-
pjicable cases, especially where G. britain
has been the complaining parry, refer you TO
the ground taken and the language held BY
her, in those Of gaitlli.nds island and Nootl.a
Sound, Notwithstanding the assertion by op:,n
in both cases, that the real right was III her.
and the possessory only Iii Great Bntala.----
These cases will be found IN tee annual regis
tiers for l77l, and 1890, and III TIC parliament
tarY debates for those years. In-the latter you
will find also two cases referred to, III one O.
which the French king sent an ambassador
extraordinary to the king OF Sardinia, III the
most soe1nn and public manner, with en- apo
logy for all infringement Oh bis territorial
rights in the pursuit Of a smuggler and muir
derer. Lin the other case al ambassador OK
traordinary was sent by tie British govern
ment with an apology lor the pursuit and de
struction by Admiral Boscawen OF certain
French ships On the coasts of this last king
dom.
Many other cases, more or less analogous,
may doubtless be found see, particularly the
PREPARATION by France to G. Britain, for the at
tack on urks Island in 1854, as related in the
Annual Register and inSmollet's continuation
