Messrs. Printers.
A Customer to your useful paper, wishes for information from some of your learned correspondents, on the following subject:—
By the Law of nations, and a special act of Congress, the persons of foreign ministers, consuls, &c. are protected from arrests and actions in certain cases, in which others are liable to both. Does this privilege secure ambassadors, envoys or consuls from an action for defamation? and if so, what remedy can a calumniated person have for a most atrocious falsehood, propagated to his great prejudice, by one who is recognized as a public character?
