1 y
Res ~ ysu6mated tSthe consideration Of
- CONGRESS-.
The federal papers have been repeatedly
CHALLENGED to point outa single instance of
the condemna1sn of an American essel I'M
der the Frexth DEGREES since Cd Nov. Al
though they have not been able to produce
solitary case, they continue to declare that
the DEGREES still operate upon US, and leave
the public to take their bare assertion as
proof
The following IMPORTANT FACTS have
been frequently submitted to the public, and
the whole body of federal editors have as of
ten been challenged to controvert them,
wh&pthey have not been able to do-viz.
IN That G.. Britain was the original and
greatest violator of our neutral rights.
3D. That since ID November, size has
CAPTURED. under her o,dtrs in council,
SEVENTY FOUR American vessels and
carcoes; amounting to many MILLlONSi
Sd. That during the same period nor a
sim le American vessel has been condentaeG
tn the French,
4th That the last mentioned fact, together
with the release of our vessels in France,
their not being captured by French cruisers,*
the offer made to the British government of
SELMA vessel direct from England to
Fri and the official directions from the
Ere N government to his maritime courts,
not u Apply the principles Of the decree to
American cases, prove beyond all dispute
that the DEGREES are revoked as 10 the United
States which is all that our law required,
and all we had a right to require.
These incontrovertible facts call with no
feeble. voice for the serious consideration OF
CONGRESS. Ofkong talk and negotiation the
uatioR tired and it is conceived that some
thingXf atnore decisive nature would meet
the Pun Vic Appreciation.
Those Baltic vessels carried in by French
or Danish cruisers cannot be considered caf-
fured, as fhey are released ufton their hahers
f,roUing to be bona tide american. 1t ought
also 10 be remembered, fhat Grcdf Britain is
the cause offhe detention Of these yesSeks, By
sending her JfsSeLs into that sea with false ha-
hers.
