The material stipulations are - "Article 6. Vessels and effects belonging to citizens of the United States, to be protected in French ports and by French war vessels whilst in company. "Article 13. Vessels with contraband goods - if the contraband goods be delivered to the captor, he. shall forthwith discharge the ship, and not hinder her by any means, freely to prosecute the voyage on which she is bound.' "Article 17. Shall sail with their ships with all security, no distinction being made who are the owners of their lading, from one enemy port to any other enemy port, that free ships give freedom to goods on board, even of enemy's goods, and so of persons. "Article 27. In order to avoid any disorder to merchant ships met at sea by armed vessels, the latter shall remain out of cannon shot, and may enter her by two or three men only, and when her passport shall be exhibited, she shall be at liberty to pursue her voyage, so as it shall not be lawful to molest or search her in any manner, or to give her chase or force her to quit her intended course.' "Article 28. Cargoes once put on board, not subject to further visitation." - Laws V.States, vol. I, p. 74. It is thus clearly established that France had no right to capture American vessels, under any circumstances whatever; and that all the fifteen hundred vessels she did capture, as before mentioned, were illegal under said treaty; and no less illegal under international law. The reader would naturally inquire, if France, our acknowledged kind protector, friend, and ally, had no right to capture American vessels, why did she do so? This question must be answered, and the proper time to answer it has arrived. Although more than forty reports of committees of the two Houses of Congress have been made - all in favor of the claimants, not one of them has ventured to answer this question in full. The reader will discover the motive for this silence on his further reading. The early French captures, being provision vessels were paid for, and assurance given for future like payments, but proved illusory, and were speedily followed by vindictive vengeance, indiscriminate capture, and instant condemnation.
