This degrading practice mint cease ; our flag must protect the crew, or the United States cannot consider themselves an independent na tion. To settle this difference amicably, the Pre sident is willing, as you are already infoinned by the former instructions, to remove all pretexts for it to the British Government, by excluding. all British seamen froni . our vessels, and even to ex tend the'exelusion to all British sithjects - , if ne: eessare, exceptingonly the few alread y tutturalis ' ed, and to stipulate likewis e ,' th e surrender of all British seamen deserting in our ports in future, public or private.

They, at the same time, declared that no events which had occurred since the first proposal fro. this.tiegoeittion,•had'iiltered the pacific dispo sitions.of their ( - 4 - or Aliment , iet%;'. , to the terms .upon 4thiC i it was willing tocon . - . chide the peace. - We answered tl-lat we'licard these declarations rdith great - -sittisfactiotiratrd- that onr Government had acceded to tht pr6ponil, of pegocialion the,tuost sincere desire to pot an end to Os 07e renew which 41,i‘7iii,d the two cOnutries, and tr lay, upon just and grounds;the foundation ofa peace tvhich, - securing the rights and interests . of both nations, should unite them by Bating bonds of amity. The B r iti s h Commissioners then stated. the fol.. lowing subjects, as those upon which it appeared to them that the discussions would be likely tO turn, and on which they were instructed .1. The forcible seizure of mariners on • hoard of merchant vessels, and in connection with it, the claini TlajeSty to the allegiance at all the native sukjects. uf-Gi eat .136 thin. . We tutderStanii them to, intimate, that the Bri, tish Government- chid not propose this point as one . which they were. pprticularly desirous of discuss=, ; hut that it !tact : occupied so . prominent a place in the disputes between the two countries, it ne- 7 cessarily attracted notice, and was cousidcred,as a subject which would cOnle muter discuSsion. 2. The Indian Allies of Great Britain to be fiicii,,;(-(1 in nal pacification, and a definitive boundary td . be.settled. iur•ti; it territory. The British Commissioners stated, that an ar- Tangement upon this point was a sine qua awn j . that they were not autltortsed to Couelmie aTreaty of Pea . ce- which did not enibrate the Indians al lies of his Britannic Majesty ; and that the &sta.-. blishment—of-a • delinithe boundary Of tire Indian, territory, was necessary to,. secure ,a permaacut, peace, not only with the Indians, but als:.) tn ..t.ween the :Vnited S,tate's and Great Britain; 2. A revision of toe houndari: line between the United ' States and the adjacent British Colonies. 'With respect to this point, they expressly - dis-, claimed any , intention im the part oftheirGoyern-T , scent, to acquire an increaseof territory ; and ' presented the proposed revision as iutemled merely_ Poor the. purpose o f preventing, uucertainty and • • dispute. After•having stated these three points, as sub jeCfS -of discussion,' the BritiSh COMmissioners added, - that befOre - they Vis'Wer - trii us, they felt it incumbent upon them to declare, that the British Government did not deny the right of" the Americansio the fisherieS generally, or in the . open.seasi but that the privileges, formerlygrant edliy treaty to the United States, o f fishing v.-ith in the litnits Of ! the' British jiiiistlietiOn,. and of landing and dryktig,fish on the shores of the Bri tish territories, ~ Ybtibt not be renewed without an equivalent.. - Tfie extent of what was, considered by them as waters peculiarly British, was not stated. Front the manner in which they brought this subject -into view, they seemed to wish us to understand that'they were not anxious that it should .be dis cussed,, and that they only intended to give tA notice that thesepriviledges had ceased- to ottst, 6rid' . ‘s ., ottid not . he - agaiti granted without an,equi valeta, nor unless we thought proper to provide expressly iii the treaty. of peace for-their renetal. The .British Commissiotiers haviiigStated,; that these were all the subjects, which .they intended. to bring forward or to suggest, requested , to be -in forined,'whether we were instructed to enter into negociation on these several points ? and, whe ther- there was any amongst these which we thought it unnecessary to Wag into thene'g-ocia tion ? and they desired .us to state, on our part; such - other subjects as we might intend - to pro pose for discussion in the course of the N4.!goCia titan. The meeting was then adjourned to the next day, in order to afford us the opportuniiy of consulting atuoul; ourselves, before we gave. an tins WCr. In the contse of the evening of .the same . day, R•e received your ' letters of . 0 - 1 e 25th and 27t4 of June. There could be no hesitation, on nor part,' in informing the British Commissioners, that we were not instructed on the subjects of Indian pacificaL tion or botundary, -and of fisheries. Nor 'did' it seem probable, although neither o f these - points had been stated with sufficient precision in that first verbal couterence, that they could fait' be admittediii anyshtpe. We did riot Wish, how ever, 'to prejudge t.herestilt, or by any hasty pro medi.. abruptly a to break time ncgociation. ,• , It was not impossible that, on the subject of the the British Government had received er roneous impressions frofn the traders in Canada, which our repreientttions might remove : 'and it appeared, at all events, ,imptirtant to ascertain distinctly,the precise intentions of Great-Britain on both points.. We_, therefore, thonght it ativis ! , able to invite the British Commissioners to a ge neral conversation on all the points ; .stating them, at the same time, our want:of instructions. On two of them, and hOlding out no expectation of the probability of our agreeing to any article respecting 'them. • . At our - meeting on the e nsu ingdity, we inform ed the BritisirCiAtiiilksiOneri, - t,l i at upon the first and third point.S.ilropitsed•by them we were pro vided with instructions i: anti tve presented as fur ther .subjects, cotisidered brolly Government 'as suitable for discossio» Ist.

We obsetVed, that as these p r ointslia4 not been heretofore the grounds . pf any controversy between the Government of Great Bvitain and that 'of . the United States, and tad nytj:heeli alhulea to Li'tird Castlereagh,. in .his letter. proposing the .

No such provis:.ons had Nen inserted in f the Treaty of Peace in 1783, no(1- . in any other 'r - r•eaty between the two Countriet-r-no such pro vi!t!i.rot had, to our knowledge, ev6r been instil -„ed-lip any made -t ht Gr 44 Britain or 4y - .Other European power hrrelatiOn to the - same . ; desC:•iptiou of pecfple, titider like.`ciscum stance:. We would say, however, that it would not be doubted, that peace - with the Indians WOiild - cei.= talidy Collote a peace =vitlt Great Britain—that we bad .information that.

We then expressed•our tvish to receive from the British Commissioners a statement of the views anti objects of .(;reat Britain upon all the4oints; ;10;1 our willingness to discuss them ail, in order that, even if no arrangement should be agreed on, itp o n the poi tit 3 nut j11C111(1C ' d in our instructions, the 'ti'ove - rtnitent ,of theVnifeit'States tnig,hlt 'be - possessed On the entire and' preciSe intentions of that - of Great lit itaiu, respecting these points, and that the Brithish GoVernment be fully informed of 'the' objections` our the Dart of the' United' States- to siren arrangement. In an swer to our remark, that . these points' had not been ail - tided to hy.Lord Castlereagh, in'his letter pro posing the negociation, it was said that it could not be expected_that in a Letter, merely intended to invite negoelation, he should enumerate the tovics . of discussion, ,or, state the, pretensions of his Government, since these would depend upon ulterior events, and might arise out of a subse -Cilial 5t rte OE~ChiIIL~S.- In - reply to 'Our obSerVation, that the proposed stiptilation Of an -Indian linttndary was ‘Vitlibut example in the practice of European -nations', it was asserted, that. the Indians must in some-sail be considered ..as an independent people, since treaties, werentade,,with. them, both byGreat-Yeft tain and, by I , lle United States; upon which we pointed Opt the Obvious and itnportant difference bet Ween the treaties we might ing i key, - ;th Indians living in our territory, and such a treaty, as was proposed to be maileit respting' them, ~with a foreign power, who had . solemnlyacknowletled the territory on whichliiti-ieSided.to be part of the United States. asked by. the British Commis sioners whether, in case they should enter further upon the -di4euSsiotforthe''several poins which had been stated, we could expect tharit would nate by some - provisional — lirrangement on the -pointson which we had no instructions, particu larlx on that respecting the Indians,, which ar rangement:would :be subject to the ratification.of our Government ? We;, answered, that before . the subjects were distinctly understood and tie objects in view. more precisely disclosed, we could ;pot,dec.ide v_. l )4 ll eT. it wont! he pbssjble . to form any,satisfaetory article - on the subject,; nor pledge ourselves as to exercise of a. ili'scretion tinder our powers, even wit'h . respeci to a provisional agree 7 inenf.' 'We added; that aS - "We "should: deeply de. plore a rupture Of 'the itegociation on any point, it was our anxious desiri.r ,possible means to avert'an- event': sO sin-ions' in its con;e -quences-; and- that weitad not been without hOpeS that' a-discussion-might - correct:the. effect Of any erroneous information winch he British Govei n- Inept 'night haver received_ onihe subject, which they had proposed as a preliminary basis. We took this opportuinty to retnakt, that. no nation Observed apolicv more liberal and litnnatui towards the Indians- than that purSned by the United States ; that our object had been; by all practicable means, to introduce; civilization antonit them ;, that their possessions were secured to them, by..well-defined boundaries ; that their pl; . E.son, : lards,, and ()thee property, were now more eileetually protected against violence or frauds from any quarter, than they had been un der any former Government ; that even o t ur citi zens were not alloWed to purchase their lands; that wben they gave up their title 'to any portion Of their coimay to,tbe United 'States, it Was by viduntary treaty with our Government, who gave them a satisfactory equivalent ; and that through these means the United .States 'had succeeded in preserving, since the:Treaty : of Gretrtille of 1795, an uninterrupted peace of 16 years, with all- the lodian Tribes----:a - -period of .tranquillity much longer than, they were known to L have. enjoyed heretofore. It was then eNpreksly . stated on our part, that. the proposition respecting the Indians was not distinctly' understotd. whether the pacification, and the settlement of a bounfka . y for them wereNoth made a si c neijila 'non Which was answered id the" afiirinative 4 The questkni was then 'asked the British "Coinmis'siOners, whether the proposed Indian boundary 'was intended to preclude the United States f rom the right of pur chasing by treaty. from. the Indians . without the consent of Great Britain, lands lying beyond that boundary And.as a restriction-upon the Indians from selling, by amicable treatiesy lands to the _ . 11.0ited.States, as had ,been hitherto practised To this Tacstion, it was first answered by one of the nntssioners, chat the Indians would not he restricted trom selli.nr their lands,, but that the United States would be restricted from par chasink there anti on 'another of the CAMindasioners stated, that it was intended that the Inrfiati territories shoord be a barrier between the liriti.sh . dominions and thbse of the United States ; that both Great' Buiti.dit and the United States' should be restricted Iron) purc . :Na . sing 'their hinds.; but that the indiaus might sell theM to a third party. , proposition .respecting Indian boundary, thus explained,, and connected, with the right of sovereignty ascribed to the Indians over the coon try, amounted to. nothingless_ than a demand of the absolute cessio n of the rights both of sove reignty and of soil., lye cannot abstain from 're, marking to you, that tie subject (of Indian boun dary) was indistinctly stated when first proposed, and that the explanations were at first obsCrire and always given' iv:6 reluctance.
