By the threat it con tains, you appear, like your Government, to have something to learn. A British ;übjea know: too well how to respea and obey the laws of his own country, to offer, intentionally, an outrage on those of others, when once they are known to be so ; but I have to observe, the Proclamation you men- lion to have been issued in May, 1807, I know nothing of; of that which was issued in May, lriOti, I have only to say, that so far from bzi:ig either tt•editable or becoming in the President of a country, wishing to be ranked amongst th., civi lized nations of the world,;: would, in the opinion of liberal and enlarged minds, hay.; disgraced even the sanguinary pen of a Robespierre, or the in tat miserable petty state in Barbary. It apts:ars that the supposed offence is to be rendered hy a repetition of the circumstances complained of, and that on those who, so far from having any thing to do with the supposed aggression, were not nen on or near the American coast, at the Om:. And as Capt. Whitby's trial may, probably, at this moment he pending, with the concurrence of the United States, and the Proclam stion resting on his being brought to justice, it ()light to have been thought of. However, as my proueding to sea comes within the Emits of my intentioris, ai:cordiog to the orders I am under, I shall do so whenever the pilot thinks proper ; which orders have for their view the advantage of the American flag, as well 1 as the protection of the British. Bat I must ob swim, that the tilficulty I have experienced in ob. taming a sufficient quantity of water, for the pur p,ises 1 with, obliges me to have recourse to such methods as are completely within my power, which [ otherwise shorld not have thought of. In the mean tiny: it is necessary to infOrm you, that His NlAjzsty's ship under my command, is at all times r:ady to resist and punish any insult that rug be offered to the flag she has the honour m hear, to the last drop of blood that shall remain of the duti ful and boy 11 subjects of a beloved Sovereign, ;tad an exalted country.
