Tie security Of treaties with other
poN ers is founded in The common law
If nations--that public law of Europe
which acknowledges the political per
son Of q state separate and inde pendent,
OF The sovereign who temporarily go. |
verns ard represents it, and which up.
on this principle readers all treaties as
durable as the government The Bar
barry powers have no law Of this kind,
nor any notions founded upon it. They
are strictly and truly barbarians. II
they dislike a treaty, they murder the
Deg who made it, and thus terminate
all treaties by considering them only as
his personal acts and obiigations.--
Their next act is to proceed to the hou..
ses of the European consulS, and I'm
less they be fortunate enough to effect
iheir escape in due time, 10 murde :, or
at least to imprison them This is
followed by the massacre Of all slaves,
