Virginia Argus. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1796-1816, 1811-08-26

On the 9th ofAugust, 1904, Great Britain
announced apretended blockade ofthe months
OF twelve rivers, bays or ports, on long line
Of the French and Netherland coast, and
this too by the British king, sitting inland, in
council, in their remote executive chamber !:
Thy admirals or commanders at arms and
at the places. The aTowed purpose was
not military attack or mllaary cahfure, but
expressly "for the protection of the British
subject or nation" and for " the ANNOYANCE
OF the Prench) enemies Of Great Britain -
This was an extravagant and novel procedure
unsupported by law or right and the minis
try we're covered with full indemnity by
the above recited section Of their statute of
1905. This measure was meant TO bear up-
on the defence Of Great Britain, and not up
ON me attacks Of enemies. II really CONVEX
ted the redress given us, IN the case of Sir
Samuel Hoods pretended blockade of two
islands, into an insult and was an unfortu-
nate provocation of the fair resentment of
the French government. To dcfend Itself
by a blockade is a discovery in the art of war
made by the ingenuity Of Great Britain. II
was IN truth an executive law to prevent
the sales ofour cargoes Of innocent goods to
France.

That Virginia Planter, or man
from the woods of tennessee, who ne.
yer saw salt water, should be indiffer.
ent with regard to Commerce, is not
very wonderful-though, considering
the principle of compromise upon
which the Constitution Of the United
States was confessedly adopted, it GER
tainly is not fair that the interest of the
Nothern and Eastern States should be
neglected by those Members Of Con-
gress whose constituents have no i'm.
mediate concern in shipA or merchan-
dize. But wis; shan We say Of those
men who, representing, or rather mis-
epresentlng, soR2e Of the districts Of
these Nothcrn and Eastern States, join

10 Commerce, and thus strike a blow
at the vital interests of their Constitu-
ents. The Southern and Western
Planter, with his itch and extensive
fields, his genial climate, and his hume

out Commerce for a while, at least
and IT there must be Commerce,

have-let the ships of ether nations

There is, at this moment, a Gnou-
lar controversy exiting between the
government and the people of the

chants complain that notwithstanding
the cncouragements held out by the
government from time to time, they
have found but one UNMARRIED fate for
all the properly fent to France or her
dependencies. The government re-
plies that they have no cauGc for

lating our neutral commerce, in con-
fequcnce of which, all importations
from Great Britain arc prohibited /;
but that thofc Of France are revoked,
and an unreihaincd commerce open
ed with that country. The mer-
chants fay that they will not prefume
to contradict the government but
they feel confident that they have re-
ccived no compensation for the plum
ders committed upon them years a
60, and that every fhip now fcnt to a
French port is fent to long home,
from which there feems to be no re-
turn. The government conGders all
