- Summary
- Arret of the King of France worthy of consideration. First avowal of any sovereign, of commercial principles so generous and noble. The United States has propagated the sentiment, and have more cause of complaint that liberty is not universally admitted. Selfish policy of England. Fearful that we shall be obliged to imitate her practice. Would venture upon monopolies if found to be the only means of defence. Future course and policy of the United States. Wishes no distinction between the ships and mariners of different states; should have greater privileges than foreigners
