1 Grotius, De iure belli et pacts, quibus quam non sit opus lib. ii. cap. xviii. § 3, says ' optimo docet mos antiquus cui illae iure reiici possunt quae nunc in ignoratae,' but does not call usu sunt legationes assiduae, permanent ambassadors resident 278 PART V I LAWS OF NATIONS age, he would have found that extensive commerce renders it impossible to preserve peace a month, unless grievances be redressed by a man of authority, who knows the customs of the country, and is capable of explaining what injuries are really done. The custom of sending ambassadors pre serves peace, and by giving intelligence, prevents one country from being invaded by another without timeous notice. When any kind of dispute happens and the ambassador is recalled, you can have intelligence by your communication with other courts, your ambassador there being informed, for ambassadors in general are acquainted with all the business in Europe.
Though one country might attain some kind of pre eminence by the influence and assiduity of its ambassador, no attention was for a long time given to it, and that balance of power which has of late been so much talked of, was never then heard of. Every sovereign had enough to do within his own dominions, and could bestow little attention on foreign powers. Before the institution of residents they could have little intelligence, but ever since the beginning of the sixteenth century the nations of Europe were divided into two great alliances. On the one hand were England, Holland, Hungary, Muscovy, £c., on the other France, Spain, Prussia, Denmark, Sweden, &c. In this manner a kind of alliance was kept up, sometimes one leaving the one side, and another joining it, as at present Prussia is with L^ngland, and Hungary on the other side. A system of this kind was established in Italy about [the] fifteenth century among the great families there. The resident ambassadors of these nations hinder any one country from domineering over another, either by sea or land, and are formed into a kind of council not unlike that spies. Cocceius' note on the who there mentions acting as a passage, however, quotes Wicque- spy as one of the functions of a fort, Memoires touchant les Am- resident ambassador. b.issadeitrs, La Haye, 1677, p. 438, RIGHTS OF AMBASSADORS 279 of the Amphictyons in ancient Greece. They have power to advise and consult concerning matters, but not to deter mine any, and by combining together can threaten any one country pretending to superiority, or making an unreason able demand. Post offices, too, are of great importance for procuring intelligence, as communication is open through all these countries, both in peace and war, which makes commerce easy, and gives notice of every movement.
An ambassador's person must be sacred, and not subject to any of the courts of justice in the country where he resides. If he contract debts, or do an)' injury, a com plaint must be made to his country. When the Dutch arrested the Russian ambassador in the year 1718, it was complained of as a violation of the laws of nations l. The goods which an ambassador buys are not subject to any custom. As a sovereign would be exempted from taxes, so must his ambassador who represents him ~. When an ambassador makes any attempt to disturb the peace by entering into conspiracies or the like, he may be im prisoned. By way of compliment, and to keep up the dignity of an ambassador, his house is considered as an asylum for offenders. He must be cautious, however, of this privilege, and extend his authority only to the pro tection of debtors and small delinquents, for the right will be broken through if he harbour those guilty of capital crimes. The servants of ambassadors, too, are entitled to some considerable privileges; if indeed they have con tracted debts, they may be arrested, but this is never done voluntarily.
1 It is probable that two, or arrested the Spanish ambassador possibly three, cases are here con- in 1718.

280 PART V I LAWS OF NATIONS All the words that signify those persons employed by one court at another are derived from the Spanish language. The Spanish court was then the most ceremonious in the world, and Spanish dress was everywhere affected. As ambassadors were obliged to keep up much ceremony, they were hindered in the prosecution of their business. A man that has to negociate matters of the highest import ance could not allow so much time to be spent in the end less ceremony of paying and returning visits. Envoys were therefore sent, to whom less ceremony was due, and who could be addressed on any occasion; their dignity, too soon advanced, and incapacitated them to transact business! As they continued for some time, they were called resident ambassadors ordinary, being of an inferior order to the ambassadors extraordinary. Below this rank is the minister, who resides in the country on account of his own business, and has power to transact any little busi ness of the country to which he belongs.
A consul is a particular magistrate who is a judge of all matters relating to the merchants of his own country, and takes care to do them justice in those places where it may not be very accurately administered.
These are the names and offices of the several persons employed in the foreign affairs of the nation, occasioned by the introduction of commerce, and now become absolutely necessary.
Thus we have considered both the laws of nature and the laws of nations.
