Text. Paragraph 9.
“The armed neutrality was chiefly the
work of the court of Petersburgh, whereby England
was deprived of the great advantages which her numerous
armed vessels would have given her over
her enemies, by interrupting their supplies of warlike
stores.
Observations on Par: 9.
The accusation contains within itself
a complete demonstration of it’s own injustice. This
greater disadvantage, which Great Britain, it is said,
experienced by the cheek given to her intercepting
the supplies of her enemies, could have no other
cause, but her superiority over those enemies
she could have no other motive for wishing that
cheek removed. The greater the disadvantage, the
greater her superiority. The armed neutrality was there
for a measure of self defence, of equality, of peace
of self defence, as it’s object was, merely to protect
all those northern nations against the being cut
off from the disposal of almost the only articles of
their produce. Of equality; because it operated either
equally for and against both parties in the war, or
most against the one whose overbearing power
had given it the “advantage”. Of peace, because by
throwing obstacles, in the way of oppressive power,
it tended to make the success of projects of conquest
or encroachment more tedious and uncertain;
and because the peaceful enterprise was
pursued
