DOCUAIRNtS &SLAMS to TDB Inersatnces BETWitll GIZA? BRITAIN AND AIIIINICA. (Concluded fruin uw• Paper ef yesterday .) MR. SMITH TO MR. PININEY. Depaement °Mine, Nov. 0, iii•g. Sta—My letters, to the correspondme with Mr. Jackson, already transmitted to yii, stiffi-"entli evince the disappointment that was felt,rit: finding that he had not been charged to snake to Ito Govern ment either the frank explanations, or the liberal propositions which the occasion manifestly required. Instead of this obvious course of proceeding, it was in the out.tt perceived, that his object was to, bring us to resume the .objects of the arrangement of April, in a nay that would imply that we were aware .teat the arrangement was not binding oa his Government, because merle with • knowledge on fit part that Mr. Erato, had no authority to mak.. it, and thus to convert the responsibility of Ina Government' fur the disavowal, into a r proach on this far its cooduct in the traissoction disavowed. lit the first instance it was deed best, rather to repel his observation', argumentatively, t hen to meet them as as Off , IISIVe insinuation. This forbearance had not the expected effect of restraining him from a repetition or the offence; and even on his (Watt insinuation«, nothing otore was done than io pre owlish him of theintadinissibility of so indecorous a course of proceeding. This also being without effect, nothing remained but the step finally taken; and there wits the leas hesitation in shutting the door to further opportunities for iosultiug insinua tions, as the disclosure»; he had made, and the spirit of his disemointis, had so entirely shut it to the hope of any favourable remit froze his mission. I will not dwell on his reluctance to give up the uncertainties of verbal for the iwecision of written disousaion ; nor on the manner or the time of his denial, that he had givcit any room at all for a statement, which, in order to guard against the misconceptions incident to verbal conference...l had placed before him in writing, with a request that he . would point out any inaccuracies, cud to which he did not them object otherwise than by inti mating, that he could not have made the at itement with the portico/tie view which seemed to be noppored. Nur will I dwell an the various insteuces la alu,li partial or incmpastent views of the stibject have token place of its real dierits. But it nosy not be amiss to make stone observations on the corres pondence, as it relates to the fiestification of his government in having disavowed the act of his pro. decemor. With respect to the Orders in Council, the rearm' of the disavowal is the digi.reure between the arrange ment and the printed dispatch of Mt Canning Lo Mr. Erskine of the 13t1 January. Acciwding to this dispatch then, the timings tnent tailed in three point. a. In not relinquishing the trade of the United States with enemies' col e9. With respect to this point, it is not necessary, at this filar, to olnicti.-1 the right of that trade. It is sufficient to remark, Ist, that as the trade is ad mitted to bore becomr, in the view of Great Bri tain, of little practical importance. why htost been made a growod of the disavowal, and, especially, as important considerations only could, upon prin ciples of public law. have justified a measave of so serious a character ? 9.4. That :is the colonial trade is • subject no wise connected either with the Or ders in Council, or with the affair of the these peake, why has it brrn permitted to frustrate an ar ningensent relating to those subjects, and to those only ? 3.1. That as this condition is allowed to have originated in a supposition, that it would be agree able to the American Government, why has it been persisted in after the error was inside known, by the representation of Mr. Erskine, to his Government, that neither this nor the other conditions of the dis patch of the 23d January were attainable here ? 2d. Another point in the dispatch, and not in the arrangement, is,that the British Davy might cap ture our trade to ports prohibited by the United States. This condition too appears to have had its origin in a mistake of your meaning in • conversation with Mr. Canning. as noted by yourself and iu an in ference thence deduced as to the disposition of this government. But this double mistake must have been brought to light in time to have beta corrected iu the new mission. In urging it. Mr. Canning has taken • ground. forbidden by those principles of decorum, which regulate awl mink the proceed nig,. of governments towards each other. In has dispatch the condition is stated to be for the pur pose of securing the 6ma fink intention of Amenca to prevent her citizen. Irvin trading with France and other power. ; in other words, to secure • pledge to that rtfect alpinist the male fide intention of the United Statcs. Anil thts dispatch, too, was •uthurised to be communicated, its exteaso, to tbe Government of which such language was used.— Mock it not have berg ri•ilsoniady expected that such a condition and such oLiservltlons would at least, on soch an occasion, have been given up by a t;over.iment willing to smooth the way to au amicable settlement of exiAing differences ? _ In hi. xe..l to vindicite hi. government, Mr. Jack son too ha. attempted • gloss on thins most extra. ordinary idea of calling on ■ foreiga sovereignty, not indeed to make laws for us, but, what is qui. valent its principle, to supply a supposed inability to execute them. Ile calls such an interposition of his goveroment, not an execution of the Law of Coisgre.s, but of a compact binding as a public law on both parties. and which both would have a common interest in sexing duly executed, On his own priaciples there ought to he a reciprocity, pot only in the execution of the compact, but in the obligation and interest resulting from it. Besides, where there is a reciprocity in compacts between nations touching nttnbutes of sovercitoty, there is alvssys is; touch of savers iguty is parted with, so that there be no loss uor indignity on either side. 3. The remaining point in the dispatch, net se cured by the arrangement, is that which required, that whilst our prohibitory laws should be repealed a+ to Great Britain, tier should he ?.ft in force as to Fianna and the powers adopting or acting under her decrees. This is the condition which alone properly be long. to the in I :pet ; anti it is to be remarked, in the first place, that the British project, of which this condition snakes a part, contemplated two things in their nature incompatible; our, a repeal of the • prohibites7 sets a' to Great Britain, without writ. log for the cooc)usion of a regular treaty, the other a pledge, or engagement for their continuance to the other powers. Now, from the nature uf our con antigun'', Web. in this particular, ought to hoe been attended to by the British (;overowent, it is mani fest that the Executive authority could here giv e's no such pledge ; that the continuance of the p r ... hibitory actr, being a subject of legislative contd. deratiun, could not have been provided for until the meeting of the Legislature ; and that the con dition could not, therefore, but have railed, either in the immediate renewal of commerce with Great Britain, or in the immediate engagement that it should not be renewed with Frame. The British Government ought to have acquiesced in, and; in deed, ought to have been satisfied with the attain ment of the important object of an immediate repeal of our prohibitory laws; and with the eon aidesation, that the other object, not immediately attainable. was sameemary at the time, because the prohibition as to France was then in force, and because there was every reason to infer, not only from •this fact, but from the spirit of the commu nications made from time to time, and from the overture, before submitted to the British Govern ment; di la . witlwittra repeal of the French tisiver., our prohibitory laws MOW he continued in force -*plat nittice. and especially in die case of a re peal alike Ijrirish Orders, which would nece.mtrilv rend e r a couuuance of the French decrees doubly obnoxious. Bid if on this head doubts could have been en tertained, iostead of rejecting the arrangernrn•, ought not the Repealing Act on nor part to here been met with a suspeuftou, at least, of the Order. in Costive], until it could have been st•ru ichethes the Non-lotercoune law would or would nut have hC.II VOW. iiived against France ? Such a swyeerinn crintii not have given, in any •,oint of view, more ad ventage, to the United !itates„ than war given to Greet.Britalti by the repeal which l►ed taken place on their part. this reesonnble cairn could not hare bern su!atitut,d for the disavowal, why was not a final dosavowal suspended with apr position, that the ar ran►lement would be executed by Greet Britain, in the event of a eompliance on the part of the United States with the condition required as to France ? I eta not unaware, you may be told, that the Nun-intercourse Law of the United States did not • ext•ii I to Hullaotl, though so intimately connected with France, and so subservient to her decrees against t►eotrel cosnmetce. It would not be improper on this occasion to oh. serve, that this objection can be the less urged by Great Britain, as she has herself never in her al leged-retaliations adhered to the principle on which they were founded. Thu. -he has, from the date of theft, until errs lately. directed thew against the American ere n to Rosalie. although (tussle had never adopted the French decrees, nor otherwise voided oar neutral trade with Great Britain. SA, in her (Inter of Aped las►. she has discriminates!. cat eery be tween the atomics deitited to France by the ties of blood. and other powers, but between 1-lolls. rt. Westphalia, and Naples, iii inforciag bee prohibits tory order against the first and not the two last. therefore, she Ends it expedient to make these distinctions, she ought to presume. that we too may perceive equal propriety in the distinctions we have made. • But it wiry he of more importance here, to com pare the Br►tii.h Order in Council of April lint. with the arrangement of April, made by Mr. Ers kine. It will thence be seen how little is the reel difference, and how trivial it is when compared to the extensive •nd serious consequences of the dis 'vowel. • Under the Order In Council of Aril, all the ports of Europe. except fruireN, ilicludins the kingdom* of Italy and Holl,thrl, with their depend.. curies. are opened to our commerce. Under the arrangement of April. combined with our Ad of Nno-Intercourse, the ports of Eu rope. except France and bee dependencies, include ing the kingdom of Italy. would have been opened to our commerce. The difference then is reduced 'merely to Holland. end that again is reduced to the difference bets' ten • direct trade to the part; of Holland, aid au indi rect trade to Holland through Tontines, Ham burg. Bremen. and lambdas. Nowt as the injuriog of the enemies of Great Britain is the only avowed ohjeet of ha isteediet• itig outer against oar trade. lit a computation be made of the effect which this difference betweeti the Order in Council and the arrangement cud possibly have to producing such en injury. Act then let the question be candidly answeied, whether. layireaside aN considerations of right and justice. stifficient inducements could have !seen found in that result for rejecting the arrangement, and fur producing the consequent emharrassitients, as well to Great Britain as to the United Stater. If it be necessary, as Mr..licksin has ataterl, to set bounds toe spirit of eurroachinetit and universal dom . which would bind all things to its ris standard ; and to falsify, by honourat,ll, and mealy resistance, an annunciation that all E." ape is Pub . . witting by degrees ; the effort must be feeble, indeed, which is to he fount in the inconvenience aro ratiig to the formidalilo foe from the operation of this Order in Council ; and especially when we con.haie with it the strange phenomenon of robetitsiting for the lawful trade of the United States, a trade of l:•t --tisk subjects. contrary to the laws of the adverse party, and amounting, without a special license, to the rye of British law, to high treason. Thus much fur the Orders in Council. Wlist ha. taken place with respect to the case of the Cite. seprake, will equally engage )our s•teutton. You will perm-ire. that them. knot the early stages of the correspoilde.,ce. ,s ease was in some respects, improperly co 1..0 od• d with, in others improperly separated fro.n. ilia. of 11,. ~Ord er, in Council ; and particularly that poise hod been taken by Mr. Jackson to subemisir verb* and vague ohaervaillioas on the disavowal this pert of the arrangement. for as explicit Mid form ii explanation. such as a - oMiswsl y due. It ail he seen also, that. when finally brought to the point, he referred for a juir.riestion of the dis avowal to the departure of Mr. E••kiue flow his in.tructiene, without sheering what those ingtruc lions were, and to allusions to ■n exprec.ieu in the gig f lortt, hi% I theft' a 4 rhg. whisi Ms. saw AL. lIL f St. r the • to -4 61, ;elm f the from 4h.- 1 the gent• mita the owls.
