by the legislature of the urion. ‘
¢ This law as may be seen by the
several provisions of it, has been forced -
upcn them by the extraordinary cir- 1
cumftances of the times, and is to be
regarded as an a&l of precaution, tak

their own property and rights, and of |
once more appealing to the interefls
and jußtice of those who would dilturb 1
or destroy them. . .
% Your excellency may be assured, |
that as nothing has given more dis- 1
quietude to the United States than the |
neceflity which has impelled them to .
the adoption of this measure, so noth- 1
ing will give them more fati:faction
than to fee that neceflity cease. It is
«in the spirit and sincerity of this decla
ration, that the undersigned is inftiuét -

of every inducement of interest which
it could be supposed to furnifh to this

the U. States, to which may be add

this means, a considerable trade has |
been carried on lalt year under our flag, |
by British shipping, particularly to
Ruflia and South America, and Brit

Extract of a letter from Mr. Kirkpatrick
consul of the United States at Malaga,
to Mr. Smith, Secretary of State, data
ed 25t November, 1809.
“A few days ago the brig Ufot.
fight, Christian Bodon, master, arrived
here fiom Poole with a cargo of bale
goods and fith. Although her papers
appear to be in periet order, some
doubts exist in my mind of their legals
ity. I have confulied with some citi.
zens of the IJ. States actually here, &
they agrge with me in opinion that the
signatures of the president, your col
le&tor of N. York,and of Joseph Nourfe
are so well done that it is impoflible
to discover any difference. Under this [
impreflion L have determined to pass
you a note of the fhips’ papers that if
they are xeally falle. you may take
such measures as you confider proper
for having them seized on by the con
suls in Enrope where the veflel may

BRITISH PARTY IN AMERICA.
: : Lrom. the Columbian.
Thata fa&ion has long cxifted in this
country, opposed to its prosperity, and aufs
picious to Englith policy and Englith do=-
minaticn, s a faét known to many. Hon.
cft menhave sometimes doubted the exiftance
of that fachien, because it ie irreconcilable
with their own feclings. But that a British
party docs exist here has becu openly and
solemnly avowed by a member* of the Brit
ith parliament. That fa&, however, shall
no longer be doubted. A circumflance hae
transpired, which places it beyond the pof=
fibility of controversy, and which fhowa
inconteftibly that there is 2 complete con
nivance and underflanding between Mr,
Jackson and b Britip party in Amevica. -
A project was {et on foot about two weeks
ago to celebrate the birth day of Wathing
ton with a fpleadid ball. It is almost useless
to declare, that the mcafurc was heartily
and instantly adopted. A large sum of
money was raifcd, fix} managers were ape
pointed, and every preliminary measure was
adopted for the occasion Will it be believe
ed that Francis James- Jackson was invited
to ,celebrate the feitival of Washington’s
birth ? Yes ! Francis Fames| Fackfon, the ine
the insulter of our government, gvas invited to cel=
ebrate the great national jubilee of America }
Mr Jackion intended to have been present
at the ball. A circumftanc¢, however, took
place after wards, which made him relinquithy.
bhis dctermination. ~ A federal deputation,
sent by some of the leadets of the federal
party, waited on col. Barclay, the British
co ful, and requested him to intimate to Me -
Jackson, that it would be impolitic that he
‘thould appear at the Wathington ball. Axd
the reasons assigned as I am credibly informed:
wvere, that Lis appearance ‘b”i would be pre=
judz:{:ial 2o the federat party, an farh‘adwly’&.
trimental at the ensuing elelion ! Col. Barclay
waited on Mr Jackson, wh:\in consequence
did not attend the ballt | o 1
This fact speaks a language which every’
honest American cannot faif to underftand.\
It shows irresistibly and conclusively, that
‘a complete understanding %-d connivance
subsists between Mr Jackfon/and the federal
leaders, and that t"¢ former is willing to fa=
crifice his pgrfonal conv&nkncg 'ang' pleas |
sure to further the views of the latter,
After this ﬁatemcnt,.ii“,fcvc abford to
