diversions and amusements; they imagine
their folly and wickedness ace covered by

So far we have unequivocal proof of the
anxiety nf Great Britain to close with ut
ufion any termt j and thia disclosure of het
disposition, and of the full powers of Mr.
Jaehson to conclude a final adjustment of
ill differences, produced the very laconick
and if. selling letter fr.m Mr. Smith, which
jiut an end to the conferences.
In answer to the teeond tolemn
tioriof Mr. Jackson, that'Great-Britaln it*
sisted on no condition:) which our.govern
ment had deemed InadmlssUe, Mr. Smith
replies on the Ist of November—.*
“ That it it underttood thdf hit Majetty
ffertrvertt in reefubing at inditfientable
condition! an entire rednyuithment yf the
colonial trade, and alto a fiermitthn to the
Britith'navy ft aid in the exevutioir </«
law <f Congrett.'* . '
Tlris it hue been shewn was absolutely
f iUe } and one would naturally expect to
find no small dtgiee of temper in MR
Jackson's reply—but ha cuminusly abstain- •
ed from tmitermg the iudocorous example
Mr. SosiUßacitteg. therefore, * v
' ■'‘b -'r.W' A ‘" *'
r
From chiv mild and temperate answer it
follows, that he w-n not instructed to insist
upon the offensive conditions, but that he
had>a full power to conclude a treaty, of '
which though lie could not before hand
•late the ulrnvtt limits, yet it was fairly to
•* Inferred they were/ar thort efthe con
ditions which had been declared ofllnsive,
and upon which he was not authorised to
ihsht.
“ That hit government ordered Mm not
to renew firofiotalt which have been al
ready declared here to be unacceptable, but
to receive and dhcutt firofiotalt onf the
fiart of the United State a, and eventually
to conclude u convention between the twb >
countriet. It it not of courte intended to
cull ufion me to ttate at a preliminary to
negotiation, whut it the whole extent <f
that? instruction!,'•
As this charge is still persevered in, and
as it is made the chief cause < i cemplalvt
against the British nanon, it is of great
importance to ascertain whethei Mr. Jack
son ( wmi directed to persevere in these
recollecting, however, thst there
is abundant evidence that our guvermncMt
authorised Gteat-Britain in the frat in
stance t° expect they would be
Mr. Jackson In his first letter of October
9'h, in answer l<j this charge, explicitly
declares, •• That he u , ai nu( au[h . >rizfd
to renew these proposals hud icftl
found to be unacceptable to ns. and that he
could not have made such a prppoeai inas
much an it would be inconsistent with hie
other declaration, that he wan not instruct
cd to make any proposal whatever on thia
•übject, but to await the ftrofionilione which
our Cabinet might tee fit to make to (ircat-
Iritain."—Mr. Smith, in his answer to this
positive and explicit, clear and unambigu
ous declaration, that Mr. Jackson was not
directed to persevere in these claims, re
phea, “ That he perceives that any agree
mmt on thia aubject must include a utipu
lation on theftart cf the United Staten to
rdtnyuinh the trade with the en, miea colo
ntea, even in brauchea not hithei to inter
rupted by British orders for capture, and
also a sanction to the enforcing if an act
<f (.ongrtaa by the British Aavy"—Mr.
Smith adds, •• That a known
lion on the/art if hi a IJritunnuk Mufaty
to adhere to ouch txtrsorriinavy ftrtten
sions would preclude the hope of succeaa
tn the negotiation.'*
It is impossible to conceive of a more
pulftuble contradiction, or a more unfair
representation; and one can hardly con
ceive any other motive for such conduot
than the wish .to produce, not only a colli
sion with Great-Britain, but a prejudice in
the minds of the uninfopft;*«J pa-t of llm
people of the United States.
Mr. Jackson would hav4 been Justified in
reflymg to this insult in warm and intern-’
perate language; but he did not lose sight
of the dignity of his office, and the interests
of both countries to pteserve a gnnd onder
utsnding. To this flat contradiction he
modestly replied, in his letter of October
