STATE PAPERS• cORREsrOXIMIVCE ILIMATITH TO COMMERCIAL INTRIICOIIRSE TT:Btils THE ITNIITED STATE, or ImS:I,IcAITISfI WI,9T INDIA COLONIGS, AUGUST, 182 t, TO JANUARY, r 1113 817 1 / 4 - rEn BOTH rfollans PABLIAMBNT BY COMMAND OF HIS MAJESTY, ISTT. No. 6.—Mr. Secretary Canning to Albert Gallatin, Esq. Foreign-Office, Jan, 27, 1827. The Undersigned, tee. has the honour to acknowledge the note addressed to him on the 25th ultimo, by Mr. Gal -1 latin, &c.: in replying to which, the undersigned will, as far as possible, conform himself to the example of Mr. Gal latin, in putting aside those points of the question in agita tion between them which have been already exhausted in argument, and the further discussion of which would not tend to any practical advantage. The pa r t s o f M r . Gallatin's last note which app ear to the undersi gne d t o requ ire any observation, relate to matters rather of fact than of reasoning. Mr. Gallatin complains that the Act of Parliament of 1825 was not officially communicated to the Governinent of the United States. It is perfectly true that it was not ; nor has it been the habit of the two Governments to communicate reciprocally to each other acts of their respective legislatures. The act of Congress of 1823, an act, the provisions of which specially affected Great Britain, was not officially cbmmunicated either to the King's Minister at Washing ton, or to his Majesty's Government by the American Mi nister resident at this Court. So far from any such eom munication being made, or any voluntary explanation of ' the bearing of that act being offered, it was not till after repeated and pressing inquiries that his Majesty's Minister at Washington succeeded in obtaining from the American Secretary of State the true construction of the most im portant clause of that act—the clause in which the United States claimed that their trade to the British West India Colonies should he put on the same footing with the trade to the same Colonies from "elsewhere;" and learnt, to his great astonishment, that under that word " elsewhere " was intended to be signified, not only the other dependen cies of Great Britain, but the "mother country itself." The undersigned, at the same time, begs that it may not be supposed that the British Government withheld from the Government of the United States a communication of the Act of Parliament of 1825 from any notion of retalia tion for the omission of the Government of the United States to communicate to that of his Majesty the Act of Congress of 1823. He refers to that instance of omission on the part of the American Government only in proof; First, That the ordinary and :natural course between States is not to make diplomatic communications of the Acts of their respective Legislatures ; and secondly, that no inference could be drawn from such an omission on the one side any more than on the other, of (what the undersigned disclaims for his Government) an intentional want of cour tesy or respect. But the Act of 1825 (lid not relate specially to the United States. It held out to all nations of the world cer tain benefits, (or what were believed by the British Go vernment to be so) on certain conditions. If a communication of the Act had been made to one nation, it must have been made alike to all. Such com munication would have been liable to different misinterpre tations; some Governments might have considered it u a solicitation to which they were bound in courtesy to give some answer, explaining their reasons for declining, if they did decline, to avait themselves of the provisions of the Act, othcra might perhaps have taken umbrage at it, as an authoritative pretension to impose the legislation of this counter upon other nations. The simplest course was to allow the provisions of the Act to find their way to general knowledge through the usual channels of commercial information. The undersigned has no reason to apprehend that this course has proved less effectual on the present than on former occasions. The conditions of the act of 1825 have been accepted and carried into effect by some Governments that of the United States has not thought it expedient to take ad vantage of them. But the undersigned cannot but be still of opinion, that the resolution proposed in the House of Representatives, at Washington, at the beginning of the last Session of Congress, for the express purpose of urging the executive Government of the United States to come into the terms of the Act of 1825, the debates which took place upon that proposition, and the final rejection of it by a majority of only two votes show that it was not for want of a sufficient understanding of the intent of the Act of Par liament, that the conditions of it were Rot accepted by the United States. To one piece of evidence, which proves the perfect under standing in America, not' only of the purport and provisions of the Aet of Parliament of 1825; but of the conditions which it would be requisite forr the American Legislature to perform, in order to entitle the United States to the benefit of that Act, the undersigned might have scrupled to refer (as not being of the nature of a diplomatic docu ment), if Mr. Gallatin had not encouraged him to bring forward any document tending to throw light on the matter in dispute, by citing, in support of his own view of that matter, a private letter from Mr. Clay to a Member of Congress. Early in the session of Congress of 1825-26, a petition from Baltimore was presented to both houses of the Ameri can Legislature, in which petition it was distinctly pointed out, that the British Act of Parliament of July, 1825, had not only manifested the readiness of this country to remove all discriminating duties, but also to permit American ships to clear out front British colonies, not, as theretofore, to the ports of the United States only, but to all parts of the world, (the United Kingdom and its dependencies alone excepted, ) The petition, with equal distinct :it-se, invited the atten tion of the American Legislature to the conditions on which these advantages might be secured to the United States, and prayed for the removal of the several restrictions imposed by the American Act of 1823, not of the " discriminating duties" only, but of the prohibition, of what is called by Mr. Gallatin, " circuitous intercourse in British ships :" the petitioners expressly submitting to Congress the pro priety of admitting British vessels, from whatever ports, on the same terms as the vessels of the most favoured nations. It appears from the reports of the proceedings of Con gress, that it was against the prayer of this petition (but without impeachment of any of its allegations) that the decision of the American Legislature, at the close of the Session, was taken. It cannot be doubted, therefore, that the American Legislature had the whole purport and bear ing of the Act of 1825 full before their eyes. The fact that some of the British Authorities abroad took upon themselves to suspend the execution of the Act of 1825, towards the United States, is undenied. But the only effect of this suspension was, the continu ance of the benefits of the then existing state of things to the United States, for heady a twelvemonth longer than they would otherwise have enjoyed it. That continuance was permitted by the British Govern ment, mainly in consideration of the then pendency in the Legislature of the United States, of the resolution herein before mentioned, for conforming to the conditions of the Act of 1825. Immediately upon the receipt of authentic intelligence of these proceedings at Washington, an instruction was sent out to Mr. Vaughan, grounded on the belief of the British Government, that Congress would not separate without adopting the resolution then under their consideration. In that ease, and upon r"eiYing an assurance from the American Government that the restrictions and charges on and British co l on i al produce, wou ld b e British shipping withdrawn by the United States, Mr. Vaughan wee authorised to deliver a note to the American Secretary of State, declaring that the discriminating duties imposed upon American ships and their cargoes in the West Indies should immediately cease. Mr. Vaughan was actually in possession of this instruction, when the resolution, on the assumed adoption of which the instru c ti on to Mr. V aug han had b een f oun d e d wa s rejected. It was no part of Mr. Vaughan's duty to , ma ke any communi cat i on upon the sub ject to th e A mer i can G ove rnment b efore the result of the discussion w as ascer t a i ne d. After th at result (wholly un expected in this country), any such communication woul d have been not only useless, but might, perhaps, have been considered as an improper appeal against the formal deci sion of the American Legislature. That Mr. Vaughan should not aftervrards have been au thorised to enter into any discussion of the provisiOns of the act of 1825 " so late as October Lit," is not when it is considered that Mr. Vaughan, immediatily after the close of the session of Cougre") was indencted to-an nounee the• intention of his Majesty's Government to pass the order in council of July (consequent upon the decision of the American legislature) by which the terms of the set of 1825 were virtually declined. Mr. Gallatin accounts for the rejection of the resolution, proposed to the American legislature, by the persuasion; which he says, the Government of the United States enter tained, that the negotiation on the subject of the commer cial intercourse between the United States and thu British West India colonies would be renewed. The Undersigned is at a loss to understand on what ground it was assumed at Washington, that there would be, at all times, an unabated disposition on the part of the Bri tish Government to make the trade of its West India colo nies the subject of diplomatic arrangement. The circumstances of the ease were entirely changed. Repeated negotiation had failed to produce any material approximation of opinions upon that subject. The last attempt at an adjustment had boon made, with an evident conviction on both sides that there existed be tween them an unconquerable difference of principle, and that it was by that difference, rather than by any & c id,' irreconeileableness of interest, that a satisfactory arrange ment was rendered hopeless. The nature of the difference has been sufficiently dis cussed ; it Ike in the determination of the United States to dispute, and in that of Great Britain to maintain, the established distinction bstween the gmetal and eolunial trade. I I Great Britain had, therefore, an obvious motive for doing thenceforward whatever she might think it right to do, in relaxation of her colonial system, rather by the instrumentality of her own legislature than by compact with a State, with which she disagreed in opinion, as to the principles of colonial trade, so widely, that it would have been impossible to construct a preamble to a treaty on that subject, in the enunciations of which the two contract ing parties should have concurred. Hut there was vet another reason for avoiding further negoeiations upon the subject. Hitherto when the trade with the !British West India colonies had been opened at all, it had been opened chiefly, though not exclusively, to the United States. To no other country had it been opened by specific and positive convention. But a time had now arrived when, from motives of ge neral policy, Great Britain thought it advisable to allow access to her colonies to all foreign powers, without excep tion, on conditions tendered alike to all. Such indiscriminate opening could only be effected by some processto p ar who ja were t 3r :a p : t r i z i n u i s t permitted o r invited takec a o d nr an o t n ag ! :(, a f l i l t those o i s u e i main tained towards all parties, and the power of control over her own colonies was at the same time retained in the hands of the mother country. Time undersigned believes that be has now touched ou every topic in the last note addressed to him by Mr. Galla tin, to tchich ho had not had occasion to advert in former stages of their correspondence. He will not allow himself to be drawn again into a discussion of topics already more, than sufficiently debated. The undersigned trusts that it is unnecessary for him in concluding this note, to return to Mr. Gallatin's assur ances of the friendly disposition of time United States of America—assurances equally sincere, that there is the most cordial desire, on the part of Great Britain, to cultivate the friendship of the United States. The ties of common origin, laws, and language, must always form strong bonds of national alliance between them. Their respective interests, well understood, har monise together as much as their feelings. But it has never yet been held a duty of international amity (any Mors than of friendship in private life) to sub mit to unequal compacts. Nor has it even 'been held an offence against such duty that a nation (any more than an individual) should decline to make uncompensated sacrifices. Between two nations, as between two individuals, most friendly to each other, there may sometimes happen, un fortunately, to exist some known subject of incurable difference of opinion. In ally such case, it is perhaps most advisable to keep that subject as much as possible out of sight, and to take care that it shall not interfere with the tenour of their general intercourse and of their habitual relations. The refusal to regulate the trade of our colonies by a commercial treaty which the British Government may - ,pink (even if erroneously) disadvantageous to its interests, cannot give just cause of offence to any power whatever. In the present instance the undersigned is most happy to be able to qualify such refusal with the declaration, that it is not in any degree dictated by sentiments either un friendly or disrespectful to the United States, or by any indifference to the amicable settlement of all other questions at present pending between them and Great Britain. Of these questions, one has been already happily arranged since Mr. Gallatin's arrival in this country. The undersigned looks forward with confidence, no leis than with anxiety, to such an arrangement of the remain der, us, effacing all traces of pastdiscnssions, and satisfying all fair and reasonable pretensions on both sides, may secure for a long period of years to come, reciprocal good under standing and good will between two kindred nations. The undersigned has the honour, &c. (Signed) GEORGE CANNING. Albert Gallatin, Esq., &c. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. Bushy-House, Jan. 26.

This seas an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendant, for the purpose of recovering the sum of 304 paid by him to the defendant, as overseer of the parish of Stoke Damerell, near Devonport, on account of a baatard ehild, which had been sworn to the plaintiff. After the Jury had been sworn, there was a long pause in the pro ceedings, on account of the absence of the surgeon, who had attended the lying-in of the woman. When it was at length announced that the surgeon was in attendance, the Learned Judge said, that as he had obliged Mr. Sergeant Wilde in waiting for his wituess, lie hoped his Learned Brother would oblige him in not making a long speech. Mr. Sergeant WILDE assured his Lordship, that his speech should be very short, snore especially as no one knew better than his Lordship the nature of such cases. The facts of the case simply were, that his client, who was an officer in his Majesty's Navy, having landed at Devon port, had the ill luck to be there accused by a lady of easy virtue, of being the father of a little one, whom she was about to bring into th e world. Under these circum stances, and having no friends on the vet to be answer able for him, the plaintiff agreed with the defendant, who was the overseer of the parish, to pay the sum of 801. in full of all demands, which was accordingly done. When the lady's time, however, arrived, she was brought to bed of a still-born child, so that the parish was not put to one farthing of expense throughout. These being the facts of the ease, he should proceed to prove them, and he woul.l then be entitled to their verdict. Mr. Robert Adams proved the payment of the 301. to the defendant; the receipt was produced, acknowledging that sum to be a compensation to the parish for a base child. Mr. T. Rutter, the surgeon, proved the lying-in of Grace Exeter Venning, the mother, and that the child wee still born. She did not lie-in the workhouse, and it was the mother herself, and not the parish, that had paid his bill. This was the cue for the plaintiff. Mr. Lawns (with whom was Mr. Coleridge), for the defence, put in a Local Act of Parliament, by which it was provided that the overseer, on receiving the money due to the parish, was bound to pay it over to a tressserer, al)._ pointed by the Commissioners, who had the distribution and auditing the same. Mr. Justice Pans said, that he had never met with such a mi,erable defence. Surely it was not the Learned Gen ticnsan's intention to persist in so unfair an answer to the just claims of the plaintiff. ln spite of this remonstrance the ease went on. The coastal le of the parish was called, and proved meeting the plaintiff in the street, on which oceasion he said to the witness. " This is a bad job about this child ; I think that the parish ought to return roe SL, se it was still born." Upon this it was contended, by the Counsel for thedefence, that the plaintiff could not be, at all events, entitled to more than that sum; the conversation proved, being an demand.adoriasi on his part, that N. was the extreme of his to be balei a more blackguard Mr. Justice PARK was astonished at the Learned Gen tleman's persisting in so infamous a defence. It was highly reply, and lie looked upon disgraceful to the parish officers to institute inch a line of county of Devon. the whole as a disgrace to the appeared that the Overseer. of certain parishes in Dev on of w hich Stoke Damerell was one, were bound under port, By the local Act of Parliament put in for the defence, it pay moneys they recei- Ted On account of the parish, to the tree-serer of the Com missioners ; end the treasurer was called to prove that the defendant had so done with respect to the SOL he had re ceived from WI plaintiff. a plleinsaLlitoosamaciorudneteflouredandthis defence than the other.--a mere joggle to avoid an honest verdict, for it mast be sufficiently evident to every cote that the defendant, as Overseer to the parish, would be indem nified by thz. Cernruissioners. Mr. Lswas suggested, that, perhaps, Lie Lordship would preserve the point for the Court above. Mr. Justice PARX—No, thank you, Mr. Laves; 7 be hove, as it is, I am too mach given to the saving of poi n ty, bat I will not so entirely .tultify myself as to preserve this one. It is a most disgraceful defence, from beginning to end. Mr. LAWIS said, that at least it was no honour to the plaintiff to have to pay SW. on such an account. Mr. Justice Peas. _You had no basinces, Sir, to re ceive it ; it is against the very essence of the laws of bas tardy. Mr. Sergeant W adi& declined saYing The case for th e d e f ence here closed. a single word in reply ; the wh o l e matter spoke for itself . C OLIRIDOE hoped, that at least the other side would give the d e f en d ant cred i t for the sum o f one poun d t h ree-- Mr. Justice PAILX—I will give the parish officers credit for nothing; they show here with very little credit I can they h them thirty p oun d s , I t l e l l a l k t , l i ie ti m i .. ign F o i r rs a t, nt c e o li n io tr r a_ry ign so o t rt e nt l , aw l m o e f an t , he of land, they and tken, when they fi n d th at not one single farthing of that sum is wanted to meet the de mand against the parish, for even the surge on was pa id by the poor wom an herself, they keep it for their own pockets, or perhaps for the pleasure of a good dinn er .—(Muck laughter.)--It is a most infamons and unjustifi a bl e d e f ence , and th e L earn ed Sergeant was quite r i g h t i n d ec li n i ng a reply ; indeed he has been quite right thr oug h ou t, excep4 at hie opening, when he announced me tut particularly c o n .. versant with such things.—(A load laugh.)
