the merchants, TO interfere with the internal
AR commercial municipal laws and regulations

Their rights are not perfect They may do
wrong hy us through Ignorance, but not often
through intention or interest. Can we. or
rather neutral naval commanders, not except
ipg those Of the United States, say rs much !?
Certainly not, with justice and truth.
