To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If any body of the present day, should deem it an extraordinary thing, that the bays and roads of a neutral country, should thus be used by one belligerent for the annoyance of another, we have only to refer him to the public gazettes of that day, for example upon example of infinite ly greater outrages daily committed, by both belligerents, against the national dignity, honest neutrality, and peaceable disposition, of the United States, all of which were quietly submitted to by the latter, for... the sake of the v&ry profitable carrying trade, which their merchants then enjoyed ! National honor is not always held in higher estimation than national profit ; and in a country which derives its revenue entirely from commerce, we are not to be surprised, if merchants have a larger share of influence with the government than any other class of its citizens. The Commodore had paid no attention to the movements of this hostile squadron, so long as his equipment was in the progress of execution ; he knew they were waiting for him, but that consideration neither hurried nor retarded a single measure of preparation.
