S7 t _flE PAPERS. PAPERS rrtr.tENTNTI Pri lIIS NIAJESTT'S COMMAND TO BOTH HOLCES O! PAR/ IANIENTI FEBRUARY, 1808. • UNITED STATES. • s., • No. t. Note from Messrs. Monroe and Ptukuey to Mr. Secretary Can ning, ilattil London, Jilly 24, 1107. The undersigned, comntissionet•s extraordinary and plenipotentiary of the United States of America, have 4e,honour to inform Mr. Canning, that they are in structed by the President of the United States to pro pose to his Majesty's Government a renewal of new); I dation relative to the objects of the mission of the undersigned', with a view to a more satisfactory result than is found in the instrument signed on the 31st of December last, by his Majesty's Plenipotentiaries, and those of the United States. Ths unOrsigned are persuaded that his Majesty's Government will see in this measure, an unques tionable proof of the sincere desire of the President to place the friendly relations of the two countries be yond the reach ,of those misunderstandings which I either the absence or the inadequacy of precise ar rangements on subjects of the greatest delicacy and importance Might from tithe to time occasion. It is under the influence of this solicitude, that the Presicjtnt has charged the undersigned to express to his Majesty's Government his unfeigned regret that the instrument above-mentioned does not appear to him to be such as he can approve, and at the same time to declare his entire confidence, that the just and liberal sentiments which animate, his Majesty's Go vernment, corresponding with those which belong to the Government of the United States, cannot fail to lead, without delay or difficulty, to such an issue of the ne&ociation which is now proposed, as shall be suited in all respects to the rights and interests of both nations, and therefore calculated to insure a long con tinuance of the friendship which so happily subsists between them. The undersigned have already had the honour to present to Mr. Canning a paper, which, taken in con nection with a project on the subject of impressment, and another on the subject of certain claims to com pensation by American citizens, presented by the un dersigned at the same time, will be found to exhi hibit a complete view of the alterations • which the in strument above-mentioned is deemed by the President to require. They forbear to trouble Mr. Canning with a recapitulation of the details which these papers con tain ; but there are some explanations upon the topics of impressment and compensation which they do not furnish, and which it is therefore incumbent upon the undersigned to avail themselves of this occasion to give. It was one of the primary objects of the mission of the undersigned to adjust with his Majesty's Govern ment a formal and explicit arrangement relative to a practice by British ships of war, which has excited in a very great degree the sensibility of the American people, and chimed the anxious attention of their Go vernment. The practice alluded to is that of visiting on the' main ocean the merchant vessels of the United States, navigable under the American flag, for the purpose of subjecting their crews to a hasty and hu miliating inquisition, and impressing. as British sea men such of the mariners as upon that inquisition the visiting officer declares to be se. The effect of this practice is, that the flag of an independent power is dishonoured, and one of the most essential rights of its sovereignty. violated ; that American citizens, either mistaken for British subjects, or assumed to be such without inquiry, are forced fronuthe quiet pur suits of a lawful commerce into the severe and dange rous service of a foreign military navy, to expose their lives infighting against those with whom their coun try is at peace i and that the merchant vessels of the United States are frequently thus stripped of so large a portion of their hands, before their voyages have been performed, as to bring into the most imminent peril, and sometimes to produce the actual loss of the vessels, their cargoes, and their remaining crews. It cannot be thought surprising that a practice like this should act with peculiar force upon the feelings of those whom it oppresses, and that the sensation should ex tend itself to their countrymen and their Government. The Government of the United States has accord- ingly made this pretension the subject of frequent discussion with Great Britain, and when an extraordi nafy mission to his Majesty's Government was last year determined on, it was one of the instructions to the undersigned, to whom the duties of that mission were confided, to make no treaty which should not provide for that object. In the first stages of the Ne gotiation, which followed that mission, the under signed were led to indulge a confident expectation that such a provision should be obtained. At length, how ever, the rejection by his Majesty's Government of a project of an Article on this point, which, without touching the question of right, offered on the part of the United States an effectual equivalent for the mere forbearance of the practice, having extinguished all hope of an immediate adjustment of this subject by Treaty, the undersigned felt that they were called upon by candour, as well as by their. duty to their Government, to inform the British Commissioners , I that the project relative to impressment having failed, I they had no power to conclude a Treaty upon the other points which had been discussed between them, so as to bind the Government of the United States.— The undersigned did accordingly give•them this in formation in the most explicit terms , a nd the x se g oci-I ation was in consequence for a short time suspended. It was soon afterwards, however, suggested by his Majesty's Commissioners, that, if this topic should be expressly reserved for future conventional arrange ments, and a pledge giien to the United States for resuming the consideration of it at a convenient sea son with that view, and if, in the mean time, such an informal understanding should be substituted, as in its practical effect would remove the vexation com plained of, it might, perhaps, be yet possible to con duct the negotiation to a result which would not be unacceptable to the respective Governments ; and in pursuance of this suggestion, the British Commis sioners presented to the undersigned, en the Bth day of November last, the Official Note, of which a copy is herewith enclosed. The undersigned transmitted to their Government, for its consideration, a copy of this Note, together with a statement of the circumstances connected with it, and, without giving it their sanc tion, agreed in the mean time to concur with the Bri tish Commissioners, as they were invited to do, in an effort to adjust the stipulations of the treaty upon the :emaining objects of their mission, and to leave the effect of what shouWt be adjusted to their Govern- meat. It appears that the President of the United States considets this collateral proceeding upon a concern of such paramount importance, as unsuitable to the na ture of it, as well in the mode as in its terms. In this opinion the President does but continue ro respect the considerations which heretofore induced him to be- Hew- that an arrangement upon this point ought to stipulate w'th precision against the practice in ques tion, and that the manner of it would properly be that which should be chosen for the arrangement of the other points of discuision—and in the instructions which, in conformity with that opinion, he has now given to the undersigned, he does but mtitifest his re liance upon the spirit ofjustice and amity, which he is assured his Majesty's Goverement will bring to the renewed consideration of a subject so interesting to the rights and - feelings of a friendly nation, for such an adjustment of this, as well as of every other ques tion belonging to the relations of the two coun tries, as shalt confirm their dispositions to mutu al kindness, and promote the happiness and prosperity of both. The Subject of compensation will perhaps be suffi ciently explained by the inclosed copies of two notes from the undersigned to Lord Holland and Lord Auckland, and to Lord Howick. It will appear from the last of these notes that this subject, for which the projected treaty did not provide , was not to be affect ed by it, but, on the contr ary, that the rights of the United States, and the claims of their citizens, were understood to be reserved for future adjustment, as completely as if no Treaty had been made—and it will occur to Mr. Canning, that the project of an ar ticle on this point, which they had the honour to leave with him at their late interview, is in the spirit of that understanding, and is besides so entirely free from objection, that no motive is likely to exist against the adoption of it. There is another subject, to which the undersigned have the orders of the President to invite the attention of his Majesty's Government, as affecting materially and giving a new and unexpected character to the proposed Treaty. They allude to the written de claration relative to the French decree of the f2lst of November last, by which his Majesty's Plenipoten • tiaries accompanied their signature of- the treaty—a declaration which, in its actual form, creates unneces sary embarrassments in the way of an acceptance of the treaty by the United States. The undersigned persuade themselves, that as this proceeding, to which no sanctio‘ was given on their part, imposed on the United States no new obligation, and could only be intended to declare that, in signing or ratifying the Treaty, it was understood by Great Britain that nothing contained in it would be a bar to any measure which, if no such Treaty had been signed, would be lawful as a measure of retaliation against her enemy—and as the occasion which produced it, does not appear to exist, as then supposed, it will not be thought that any thing is sacrificed by with drawing it as unnecessary. The undersigned request Mr. Canning to accept the assurances of their distinguished consideration. (Signed) JAMES MONROE. Right Hon. George Canning. WM. PTNKNEY. The first inclosure referred to in the above Note is a copy of a Treaty signed on the 31st of December , 18 by Lords Holland and Auckland on the part oi his Majesty ; and by James Monroe and William Pinkney on the part of the United States. This Treaty in many respects reembles that of 1794, and as it has not been ratified, we shall not detail the ar ticles at length. The alterations proposed by the President of the United States are printed with the Treaty in opposite columns, and all that are impor tant in these we shall state, in order to shew the nature of the objections of the American Government. The first article declares the usual declaration, of peace and friendship between the two States. The second confirms the several articles of the Treaty of 1794, not expired. The third article relates to the trading of American vessels with the British domi. nions in India. By the words of the Treaty, this trade is permitted to vessels only which clear out di rect from the United States, and which return there te unlade. The alterations proposed would have the effect of laying open the trade to American ships and citizens from any part of the globe, as well as direct from the United States, and to authorize the Ameri can ships to proceed with their cargoes from India to China, and unlade there, or other places beyond the Cape of Good Hope, &c. Articles 4 and 5 secure the freedom of commerce to the people of both countries in their respective territo ries. and stipulate a principle of equality in the impo sing of duties. The alterations proposed on these ar ticles are merely explanatory. Article 6 declares, that the High Contracting Parties not having been able to arrange the commercial intercourse between the United States and the British West Indies, agree, that until that subject be settled, each party shall re main in possession of its rights. Article 7 regulates the appointment of Consuls. By article 8, it is agreed, that in all cases where vessels shall be captured or detained on just suspicion of having on board enemy': property, or of carrying to the enemy any of the articles which are contraband of war, or for other lawful cause, the said vessel shall be brought to the nearest or most convenient port 1 ‘ and if any p r4serty.of an enemy should be found on board such' easel, that part only which belongs to the enemy, or is othertvia confiscable, shall be made prize, and the vessel, unless by law subject to condemnation, shall be at liberty to proceed with the remainder of the cargo; without any impediment . On this article the President proposed the following alterations, viz. to omit the word's 44 on just suspicion of having on board enemy's property, or of.carrying to the enemy any of the articles that are contraband of war." To omit the word e Other" and substitute ge any." To omit the words " if any pro perty of an enemy should be found on board such vessel." To omit the words " belongs to the enemy, or." To omit the word e otherwise. " Article 9 describes what is to be esteemed contra band of war. Among the exceptions allowed of no. ticks of naval equipment, the American Governenent propose to add turpentine and rosin to those enumera ted in the treaty.
