French and British Confscations.-A-
The conhscations of our mercantile pfoperty
IN France have been numerous, v,xatious,
andin many instances unprinc;pieu. No one
paillates or justihes hen our government
Is at this moment probably engaged in a.
endeavor, through its Envoy to France, to
obtain restoration or indemnihc alton for The
property thus engulphed in the vor' If
belligerent aggFessions on neutral rights.
But why magnify he amount of thes I'm

both beiigeren have pursued, and which
one ma ceased, div nrsh the enormity Of
he injury experienced from the continued
agsressions Of the o'her ? Every man Of
PLAIN sense and common honesty will an
swer in the negative Why Thea do some
NJ our Editors couple with the daily &C
counts of British captures an exaggerated
7tatement OF the amount of property cap
tured IN France, as it afraid to trust The
one without the other (! Round numbers
nave an imposing sound /; and perhaps it is
therefore that forty mithons stares US in so
many prints as the amount of Sc gures IN
france. HE continual repetition of this
eHaggeration, and the total omi ssion to state
the amount of British captures, seem to
prove that the British prints are not far
wrong In theit calculations on the " British
party in America" We donot say that all
who pursue this course are British pa-tsans,
bu' that he conseQ renee of judging ti TN
by their works would be to.prove them so
We cal upon them therefore either TO stand
toftn and justify the British deprsdations On
our commerce. or retrieve their American
character by joining US in a general oppo
sitinn TO all aggreSsions. On VIVA data they
es.Im tie the amount OF the seizures by
France, we are at a loss to conjecture 1; but
PROBABLY the mos correc method of ascer
tanning the amount of past seizures and
Gu demna'ions would be to apply TO the
