DEFERRED ARTICL lS.
TRADE WITH THE E.NE IN:

The republication of the law, which prohibits
american vesseis from Proceeding to or trading
S,ith The enensies Of the United Sfates," in the
lnteligencer, at this time, is certainly proper.
Those, whose mercantile morality can see no
offence, out of the prohibitions Of the statute
book, viii find that the intercourse in question
is directly interdicted. The following are the
heads ofihe act.
The FIRST section provides, that no vessel own.
ed in whole or in part, by citizen of the Uni
ted States. shall depart to any foreign port,
without giving bond to the amount ofthe vessel
and cargo, not to proceed TO or trade with the
enemies of the United States. The penalty for
departing, without giving bond, is the forfei.-
TIRE OF the vessel and cargo. the payment of a
sum equal to the value of the ship and cargo;
and fine from the master, il privy thereto, OF
not more than one thousand dollars, aud i'm.
prisonment not exceeding twelve months.
The second section prohibits the carrying of
military stores, munitions of war or provisions,
&c. to any place in Canada, Nova Scotia, &c.
penalty, forfeiture of the stores or provisions,
and boat, Wagon or other vehicle OF convey
ance, q fine not exceeding FIVE hundred dollars,
and imprisonment, not exceeding six months.
The thiyd section authorizes collectors to
stop any stores, vessels or Wagons, proceeding
IN cnntravention Of this act.
The fourth section provides for the forfeiture
offore gn vessels. attempting SAID entry, unless
such vesseis belonged to eirisens Of countries at
dntity With the United States, at the time Of the
passage Of the ia.O, or shsuiathreajter be bona
tide baih within the limits of such foreign Friend.
" states
Section ffih cxcepts British vessels with des.
patches tor tn u. States
Section sixth gives the President Of the U.
States power to grant passports.
Section seventh prohibits any citizen from re-
ceiving British license, undera penalty Of
twice the value ofthe ship or property attempt
ed to be covered imprisonment twelve months
and fine of one thousand dollars.
Such arc the provisions, now in force, which
interdict trade with the enemy. 1t appears by
the Inttihgencer, that an idea is entertained BY
some, that this net was repealed with the en-
barge and non.importation law. As it is an es-
tablished maxim, "ignorantia lesis neninens
escusaf'-Lgnoranle ofshe M,o ercuses no one
it's tit that every practicable means should be
taken to prevent that ignorance, which the law
will not presume, from existing in fact.
