Freedom Of The seas.

II has been the business of the tory prints in
this country to impress the public mind with
an opinion, that the doctrine of the freedom Of
the seas, in chimerical project, the offspring
OF Bonaparte's brain. Tory writer's and tory
takers, are not altogether SO ignorant; and it
is not to be imagined that the true sons of A.
merica are TO be dnprd with such bold faced
and false assertions. The proposition for an
union of nations for the maintenance of mari
time rights was originally made by Catherine
the Great empress Of Russia, to the several
leading powers of Europe, and was bv them
acceded to with the exception OF Great Britain.
This occurred thirty years ago. France, Spain,
Denmark and Sweden, were members of the
league which has been long known by the
name OF the army of neutrality. The primer
pies of this enlightened coalition were compri.
zed By Catharine in the five following articles.
l. That all neutral ships may freely navi.ra,e
from port to port, and on the coasts Of nations
at war.
g. That the effects belonging to the subjects
OF warning powers, shall be free in all neutral
vessels, except contraband merchandise.
8, That as to what shall constitute contra
band merchandise, the articles shall he reru-
lated and defined by treaty.
4. That TO determine what is meant bv a
blocked up port. it is only TO be understood o.

lect of their government to resist French
aggressions upon their neutral rights, by
which it tiSpretended that Great Britain
has sustained an injury, and thus claims
right to counteract the injury through
the United States. Upon the same pre-
text France claims and exercises what she
calls the same right IN consequence of the
culpable neglect of the United States is
not resisting the aggressions of Great
Britain. The suggestion of each is false
in fact. The. United States have not
been guilty ofany culpablc abandonments
of its rights in relation to either ofthe ag-
gressions of fbelligerents. The government
has constantly interposed all reasonable
resistance to the aggressions Of both, of
which reasonable resistance, il was the
erjudge, at least it was entitled toits
full share in the decision & any forcible re-
sistance to that decision when made was
an act of war.-I do not, therefore, pro-
pose to enter into the question, whether
Great Britain or France first commenced
their aggressions, since both were pro-
perly and reasonably resisted. But, if |
were to express an opinionuponthis ques-
ton, should have no hesitation in say
ing that Great Britain first began, and SO
far France has more pretexts for her con-
duct. Therewere many acts of themost
serious aggression committed by Great
Britain under pretended blockades, be-
fore the Berlin decree, and the impress
ment of American seamen, was cotem-
poraneous with the commencement of the
war. This was not, and is not the less
an act of aggression, because tits stale, has
been long practissd, and because we are
habituated to it. But it was not &C
quiesced in. 1t was met by reasonable
-remonstrance, and therefore is no justili-
cation of the Ere nch DEGREES, but at the
same time it takes away even the shadow
of a prctext for Great Britain, upon the
question who began to do wrong first ?
for there is reciprocal condemnation of
each other, and SO far joint exculpation
of us, at least from the commencement
of the wrong to either. But, sir, let me
now examine the pretext of the British
ministry, according to Mr.. Canning's
own exposition of it.

Letter from the Steward of. the Duke of. Me-
dina-Ceh, TO His ErceHency, dated the Sd
December, from the torvn Of Medina CeH
My LORD,
Our army OF Navarro and RioXa under the
command OF Gen. Castanos has been routed !;
most OF the runaways have taken Sarragossa
on their way to Madrid, and the others have
passed through this town. This flight is the
result OF two attacks made by the enemy the
one at CascOnte, and the other at Alcuneza.
The whole country is in the greatest conster-
nation, as it is well known that the general is
repairing to Madrid by this road.
The retreat is making in the greatest dis
order (; only soldiers wounded, without shoes,
and starving with hunger, are to be seen, and
they all complain of the want of talents of the
general. | have to remark to you that have
seen no officer with the troops which have
passed this way. The town, in order to avoid
being plundered, has determined upon max
ing new efforts, in order to furnish to these
soldiers, the bread of which they are in want
that they may the more speedily repair to
Sigucnza, which is to be the rallylng point.
AS am well acquainted with the genera
slty OF your excellency, have, according to
your excellency's intention, caused half a
Peceta to to be given to each soldier, and
take the first opportunity of informing you
thereof.
p. S. have this moment been assured,
that general Castanos ha. been taken in the
palace of the bishop of Siguenza, and that he
is going to be carried to Madrid.

Ny dear Uncle,
The situation Of our unfortunate army, is
melancholy beyond decription this is the
day on which it was to be sacrificed. Castan-

the author of this dreadful disaster. On the

entered it few minutes afterwards and kill
ed all who resisted. They then pursued our
rear, and if the 4th division had not arrived
III time,the disorder would have been still
greater our army is, nevertheless, pursued
by the enemy it fed in the greatest disor-
der.a far as Cascante, near Tudela, where.
the disorder augmented the French attack
ed that city, and when we were. just about
affording it succours with SO much courage.
they gave us battle, threatening to cut off our
left wing and they carried this project into
execution
After nine hours fighting they took eight
thousand prisoners of our army of Valencia
four thousand men were killed, among whom
is General de Pedro. On that same night
our right wing was attacked by 600 cavalry,
by which we should no doubt have been cur
off, if the commandant of Campo Mayor with
his battalion and two from Africa had not
come up These two corps kept up cruel
fire of three hours, and was myself ordered
upon that duty.
In that battle we had 5000 killed all tic
infantry has been dispersed. The Africa,
colonel retreatcd with sixteen grcnadiers, and
they were followed by the few who remained.
Our baggage, Wagons and great deal of
property remain in the hands of the enemy.
AT Aaeua, an action took place the day
before yesterday with the van uutler the COM
mand of Venegas, it was then that the bat
talon of Campo Mayor, the military orders
and the regiment of Burgos were completely
routed of these three corps scarcely 500
men out of 7ooo,of which they consisted, ,havc
rallied. This is our dreadful situation /; and
what is worse, is, that upwards of 800 men
have. died with hunger.
Yesterday the commend Of the army was
taken from Castanos and an enquiry is insti-
tuted respecting his conduct. All the sol
diers accuse him of treason, and believe
them, since he has deceived us during two
months.
