It no more follows from the dependence of colonies on foreign supplies, that neutrals have no right to trade with them, with the exceptions of contraband and of blockaded ports, than it follows from the dependence of other countries or parts 1806. EXAMINATION, ETC., ETC. 353 of countries on foreign supplies, that neutrals have no such right. Is not Holland, is not Portugal, is not even Spain, at all times, dependent on foreign supplies for their subsistence; not less per- haps than some of the ...insular colonies in the West, and much more than some in the East Indies? Yet since the usurped power of obstructing all neutral trade with an enemy was aban- doned by belligerent nations, has it ever been pretended that that dependence gave a right to the enemies of those countries, to prevent neutral supplies to them ? The argument fails when brought to another test. If the de- pendence on foreign necessaries constitutes the belligerent claim against the neutral trade to colonies, the principle of the claim limits it to such colonies as labour under this dependence.
