EXTRACT OF A LETTER IRON THE SECRETARY OF STATE TO THE COSIMISSONERS OF THE UNITED STATES, DATED JUNE, '27, 1814. 66 The omission to send Ministers to Gottenburgh without a previous and official notification of the ap pointment and arrival there of those of the United States, a formality, which, if due from either party, might have been expected from that making the over ture, rather than that accepting it, is a proof of dila. tory policy, and would, in other respects, justify ani madversions, if there was less disposition here to over look circumstances of form, when interfering with snore substantial objects. 66 By my letter of the 25th inst. which goes with this, you will find that the subject had already been acted on under similar impressions with those which Mr. Bayard and Mr. Gallatin's letter could not fail to produce. The view, however, presented by them is much stronger, and entitled to much greater at tention. The President has taken the subject inte consideration again, and given to their suggestions all the weight to which they are justly entitled. 66 On mature consideration it has been decided, that 'older all the circumstances above alluded to; in cident to 4 prosecution of the war, you may omit any stipulation on the subject of impressment, if found indispensably necessary to terminate it. You will; of course, not recur to this expedient until all your efforts to adjust the controversy in a more satisfac tory manner have failed. As it is the intention of the United St.ites, in suffering the treaty to be silent on the subject of impressment, to admit the British claim thereon, or to relinquish that of the United• States, it is highly important that any inference be entirely pre cluded, by a dechtration or protest in some form or other, that the omission is not to have any such effect or tendency. Any modifitation of. the practice, to prevent abuses, being an acknowledgment of the right in Great Blinn), is utterly inadmissible. 66 Although Gotteuburgb was contemplated at the time your commission was made out, as the seat of the negociation, yet your commission itself does not confine you to it. You are at liberty, therefore,, to Iran fey the nopciation to any other place made more eligible by a thisnlie 01 circumstances. Amsterdam . . rne et JACNSON, DATW " Fort Bowyer, Sept. 18, 12 o'clock at night. " Sts,—After writing the enclosed, I was prevent ed by the appro:ch of the enemy from sending it by express. At meridian they were under full sail, with an easy and favourable breeze, standing directly for the fort, and at lour P. sr. we opened our battery, which was rammed from two ships and two brigs, as they approached. The action became general at about twenty minutes past four, and was continued without intermission on•either side until seven, when one ship and two brigs were compelled to retire. The leading ship, supposed to be the Commodore, mounting 22 22 poundets, having anchored nearest our battery, was so much disabled, her cable being cut by our shot, that she drifted on shore, within 600 yards of the battery, and the other vessels having got out of our reach, we kept such a tremendous.fire upon her, that she was`set on fire and abandoned by the few of the crew who survived. At ten P.M. we had the plea. sure of witnessing the explosion of her magazine.-1 Thelon of lives must have been immense, as no boats left her except three, which had previously gone to her assistance, and one of these I believe was sunk: one of her boats was burned alongside of her. " The brig that followed her was much damaged in hull and rigging. The other two did not approach near enough to be so much injured, but I am confi dent they did not escape, as a well-directed fire was kept on them the whole time. " Ten minutes past one r. se. the whole enemy's fleet are standing to sea." WASHING) ON, OCTOBER 17. The President communicated on the 13th of Octo ber to Congress copies of Instructions to the Plenipo tentiaries. First, Mr. Monroe's letter, of which the following is the substance : " Department of State, April 15, 1519. " GENTLEMEN—I had the honour on the -- to receive from Mr. Adams two letters, one bearing date on the 30th of September, and the other on the 17th of October last, communicating the overture of the Emperor of Russia to promote peace by his friendly mediation between the United States and Great Britain. On the day following, Mr. Dascbkoff, the Russian Minister, made a similar communication to this department. 44 The President has not hesitated to accept the -mediation of Russia, and he indulges a strong hope that it will produce the desired effect. It is not known that Great Britain has acceded to the propo sition, but it is presumed that she will not decline it. The President thought it improper to postpone his decision, until he should hear of that of the British Government. Should the British accept the media tion, the negotiation to which it leads will be held at St. Petersburgh. 44 The impressment of our seamen and illegal blockades, as exemplified more particularly in the Orders in Council, were the principal causes of the war. Had not Great Britain persevered obstinately in the violation of these important rights, the war would not have been declared. It will cease as soon as these rights are iespected: , 44 This has been evinced by a report of the Com .- • • • • Mittee of foreign relations of the House of Represen lathes, and an act of Congress passed in consequence of that report. By these documents you will see that to accommodate this important difference, the United 'States are disposed to exclude British seamen altoge ther from the American service. This being effec tually done, the British Government can have no pretext for the practice. How shall it be done ? By restraints to be imposed by each nation on the natu ralization of the seamen of the other, excluding at 'the same' time all others not naturali z ed ; or s h a ll the right of each nation to naturali ze t h e seam e n o f thesother be prohibited, and each exclude from its 'service the natives of the cabet.l Whatever the rule is, it ought to be reciprocal. If Great Britain is al lowed to naturalize American seamen, the United States should enjoy the same privileges. It it is de manded that the United. States shall exclude from " their service all native British subjects, a like exclu sion of American citizens from the British service 'ought to be -reciprocated, 44 If the first alternative is adopted, the extent of the proposed exclusiptt will depend on the impedi- Iments to naturalization, on the efficacy of tile regu lations to prevent imposition, and the fidelity of their execution. The law of the last Session of Congress, relative to seamen, proves how sincerely desirous the Legislative as well as Executive branch of our Go vernment is to adjust this. controversy on conditions which may be satisfactory to Great Britain. /3y that law it is made indispensable ftsr every British subject who may hereafter become a citizen, to reside five years without interasission,within the United States; and so many guards are imposed to prevent frauds, that it seems to be impassible that they should be eluded. ,No British subject can be employed in a , public or private ship of the United States, unless he produces to the Commapder in one instance, and to the Collector in the other, a certified copy of the act by which he became naturalized. A list of the crew, in the case of a private ship, must be taken, certified and recorded by the collector ; and the consuls or I l commercial agents of Great Britain may object to any seamen, and attend the investigation. Toe com mander of a public ship receiving a person not duly qualified shall forfeit a thou s and d o ll ars , an d t h e commander or owner of a private ship knowing thereof five hundred dollars, to be recovered in an action of debt ; one half to the informer, and one half to the United States. It is also made penal, punishable as a felony by imprisonment and labour from three to five years, or by fine, horn 500 to 1000 dollars, for any person to forge or counterfeit, or to pass, or use, or sell any forged or counterfeited certi ficate of citizenship. " By requiring five years continual residence in the United States, as The condition oT citizenship, few if any British seamen would ever take advantage of it. -Such as had lett Great Britain, and had resided Eye years in this country, would be likely to abandon the sea for ever. And by making it the duty of the commanders of our public, and of the colleen -2 - s, in case of private ships, to require an auth •n,icAred copy from the clerk of the court, before which a Briti s h subject who offered his service had been naturalized, l as indispensable to his admission, and highly penal in either to take a person not duly qualitit.,4, and by allowing also British Agents to object to any one offering his service, and to prosecute. by suit ilt! com mander or collector, as the case might be, for receiv. ing an improper person, it seems to be impossible that such should be received. 44 If the second alternative is adoptei, that is, if all native British subjects are to be hereafter ex hol ed from our service, it is important that the stipula tion providing for it should operate so as not to affect those who have been already naturalized. By our law all the rights of natives are given to naturalized citizens. 'lt is contended by some, that these corn plete rights do not extend beyond the limits of the United States ; that in naturalizing a foreigner, no 'State can absolve him from the obligation which he owes to his former government, and that he becomes a citizen in a qualified sense only. This doctrine, if true in any case, is len applicable to the United States than to any other Power. Expatriation seems to be a natural right, and by the original character of our institutions, founded by compact on principle, and particularly by the unqualified investment of the adopted citizen with the full rights of the nat;ve, all that the United States could do to place him on the same footing has been done. In point of interest, the object is of little importance to either party. Tile number to be affected by the stipulation is inconsi derable ; nor can that be a cause of surprize, when the character of that class of men is considered “ If it is made - a condition, that no native British subject, who may hereafter become a citizen, shall be employed in our public or private ships, their exclu sion will violate no right. Those who might become citizens afterwards would acquire the right, subject to that condition, and would be bound by it. 44 To such a stipulation the President is willing to assent, although he would much prefer the alterna tive of restraints on naturalisation. 44 In requiring that the stipulation to exclude Bri tish seamen from our service, with the regulations for carrying it into effect, be made reciprocal; the Presi dent desires that you make a provision, authorising the United States, if they should be so disposed, to dispense with the obligations imposed by it or Ame rican citizens. 44 The President is not particularly solicitous that either of these alternatives (making the proposed re servation in case the latter be) should be preferred. To secure the United States against impressment, he is willing to adopt either. 64 It has been suggested as an expedient mode for the adjustment of this controversy, that British crui sers should have a right to search . uur vessels for Bri tish seamen, but that the Commanders thereof should be subjected to penalties in wise they made mistakes, and took from them American citizens. 64 By this the British Government would accpire . 1 CONNAUGHT P4.ACE, OXFORkROAD.
