ST. James, his family and a number Of
other gentlemen on board. Lenden pa
pers TO the 2Sih are received; but our
types aud our time, were too much oc-
cupied, to permit us to give any ex-
tracts this day.
From,the papers we learn that Seville,

combined armies. The particulars OF
the sction, are not contained IN the pa
pers We have seen.
The 18th Bulletin Of the FreHCh army

Trading with an enemy, was an
offence against the maritime law
long before the American revolution;
and, as far hack rs the records OF the
English Admiralty can be traced IL
apeears, incon,rovertibly, from a Sc
ries Of direct and uniform decisions
that the vessel and cargo OF a SUD-
iect, taken ia the act of trading WITH
an enemy, were liable to conaemna =
ton, in the prize court, as prize OF
war, to the Captors.
The principle which prohsits
trade and commerce with the enemy,
exists, therefore, independent OF
those opinions and judgments, which
have been pronouncedby Sir Wilii0m
Scott. subsequent to the revolution
And to that principle, shouidresort'
on the present occasion, with com
plete confidence, altho' no adjudg-
ed case. in point could be produced.
Iftrade and commerce with tho e.
nemy are unlawful, carrying the
public dispatches of the enemy. Cthe
worst kind Of commerce with the e.
nemy) cannet be lawful. The
same principal of the maritime law,
which makes that species of trading,
which consists in the mere inter-
course of buying and selling, an Of
fercc; with stroagerreasons, fer the
public safety, must condemn the act
of conveying intelligence to the enc
my. The argument from analogy is
irresistible, l repeat, independent Of
all authority.
Nor is it an adequate answer 10
this course ofrea souing. that the OIL
fence committed by citizen. in ear
ryiug the dispatches Of the enemy is
an offence at common law, or by sta
tute. The same may be said oftrad-
ing in the strict seuse with an enemy
which is, unquestionably, a INSIDE
meanor at common law. In both
eases, the offender may he prosecut-
ed personally ; aad. in both eases,
the otfsn;iing veaisie, if taken in the
unlaw ful act, may, also be condemn
ed as prize fwar. In neither case
does the condemnation proceed on
the ground Of the party being actu-
all. an enemy, uor of the prsperty
being actually owned by IN enemy;
bat in both cases, the party acts asif
he we we're An enemy !: and. there
fore. the maritiale law. treats the
property, as if it belonged to an enc
my.
Upon the wholceI do not think it
necessary TO 20 into a further detail
orthe grounds of my judgment. as
l have not the slightest doubt upon
the ease.
Let the decree of the District
Court be affirmed.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. i.

Ertract u q letter from a gentleman in
Massachusetts, 10 his friend in this city
dated Oct. %.
/" We acknowledge that we are
not altogether satisfied in the expee-
tation Of Mr.. Clinton's being our
next president. doubtless VIC should
prefer federalist !: but l do not
myself entertain the fears harbored
by many. that we shall only remove

ven and earth. for Mr.. Clinton to
rollpw the footsters of Jefferson and
Madison. The democratic party in
New-York and in all thes northern
states, would forsake him. should he
not restore commerce as soon as
possible. That he will be able to
come to an honorable adjustment of
the really tritlins differences that
now exist between this country and
England, can admit Of very little
doubt: that he will be willing ought
net to he doubted. iii as anv man
may think Of him. no man, / should
suppose. can consider him SO lost
to every patriotic consideration as
to wish a prolongation Of the war
for conquest and ambition. The
deep, loud. and almost universal ery
OF all parties now against the war,
will be warning enough to him.
The continuance of the war would
be his certain downfall, as soon as
four years could produce it: peace,
the restoration Of commerce. and a
strict impartiality toward the bslli- |
gerents Of Europe, would render |
him the delight fthe people. Ne |
YER could president be elected at a |
time, when, more than during the
next presidency. he would have the
opportunity of Selling and holding
popularity. lie will find the country
poor, disgraeed. oppressed & in des-
