"'and solid reason for adhering to it, be
fcaufe it enables his Biitanoic majesty

' miflion of Europe to the power of the

lultrate this idea that the aliufion is
made to_Augereau’s proclamation to
the Catalonians ; an allafion which
might do very well if addrefled to one
of the petty belligerent nations of Eu.
rope, but which is totally irrclative
and altogether ludicrous when appli
ed to fach a neutral power as the U
nited States. This * great {yltem of
policy,” so * deliberately adopted and
adtzd on,”is to prevent the subjugation
of Europe ; that is of G. B. fornear
ly all the rest of Europe is subjugated,
or new modelled. And what is this
boasted fyltem ¥ It confidts in the dif
ference of price of coffee and sugar,
~occafioned by the conveyance of those
articles into France through Ham
burgh and Tonningen instead of their
being ianded in the ports of Holland.
This difference may be two or three
tents on the pound : and these two or
__three cepts are to be the salvation of
~ Europe they are the result of the
¢ great iy item of policy” pursued by
m@&ﬂ;ﬂ ; they are the “frong and
“lolid reafops,”’ * worthy (as Mr Jack
son procldims) to govern the coun
ciis of a great and powerful mon.
arch,” in ajf ormal departure from the
common mixims of Justice, in the
violation of neutral rights, and f{uffi
cient to influce those councils to re
frain from *ny attempt to ¢ propitiate
America !? The expeditions of Sir
Jona Mooreland of Lord Wellington,
.and that magnificient one to the
Scheldt, miéglt be diversions in behalf
of fuffering 3pain and Portugal, and
blecding A:gria ; but the two or
three ceats dfference in price upon
sugar and coffce, is the (kroke of death
to Napoleon ! It is the mortal blow,
which is to destroy his power forever !
There is, however, a circumstance
conne&ted with this ¢ great {yftem of
- policy,” which the Secretary of State
jultly denominates a ‘** phenomenon,
and which renders very questionable
the vaunted magnanimity of the
% councils of this great and powerful
monarch > It is that whillk *¢ a togal
and wvpagqualified interdition of all

and clfewhere, the continent of Eu.-
rope with those very articles of co
lonial produce.* the privation from
which, Mr Jackson exuliingly avows,
is to preserve the world from univer
sal domination ! Does coffee or sugar
change its nature, by pafling into the
Luropean markets through the hands
of Englishmen and fmugglersinftead
of being conveyed thither in veffzls of
the United States navigatedby Amer
ican seamen ? Or will Mr Jackson ad
_mit, (what is most probable) that this

4ghy to govern the councils of a great

| - The fubje& of this exposition 1e:
z—quires, it is conceived, very few re
i remarks morg in a ferions point of
view.. As a topic of ridicule, Mr.
Jackson’s letters will be exceedingly
acceptable to those who delight in be
traying arrogance of the garb of du.
plicity. The appeal which that min
ister has made to the public casts upon
. him additional odium in the eftima
| tion of all worthy men. It isnot on
' ly unbecoming in an envoy, but it is
unbecoming in a gentleman ;—it is
not only a departure from the rules
. which ought to govern his diplomat.-
ic conduét, but it is a perversion of the
- trath. Excepting one point, the falfe
hood of the appeal is fufficiently de
veloped in the preceding frictures ;
that point is, where he endeavors to
persuade the public that he is charged
with ¢ important negociations.”
Nothing can be more certain than:
that he was not so tharged; or,
that if ‘he was, his negociations were
not “ important ” in an‘ amicable
view, to the U. States ; and this con
clafion is abundantly verified by the
wordsof Mr. Jackson himfelf, for, in
his letter to Mr Smith of the 23d of
O¢ober, he fays, “ the obj:& of that
part of my conversation to which you
seem to attach the most importance,
- was to fay, that I wasnot charged'to
make any proposal whatever ;*” which
is a clear admission, that Mr Smith
was anxious for some friendly propo
sal, but that Mr Jackson had none'to
~offer him. - The appeal eftablithes a
‘pother very material and unfortunate
fa&,if Mr Jackson can be relied on ;
he declares that his * duty i?!\apcrif?“,sf .
ly enjoined him toa® as he bad done;”
if this be so ;if it was imperionfly en
joined on him to a@ thus, the evil
‘goes further than Mr Jackson 5 it is
nthe sm&¥mm A mel-
AN NGO e
a w
that as ‘er presented that fallt
power to the&Prefident, it was impos
sible, on his own principles, 1o treat
further with him until he did present
it. His offer therefore, *to exchange
his full power agaia®t that which Mr
Smith ﬂm*; Tgwrovided,” is an eva
fien ; the President could uot, accor
ding to usage, furnith the Secretary of
State with a full power before Mr
Jackson had produced one ; and for
this very;;,iin reason, because the
President could not tell, withouat hav
ing seen Mr Jackson’s full power what
the new envoy was authorifed to ne
gociate about ; particularly after he
had officially announced that he was
only empowered ¢ to receive and dis
cuss propositions.” '
The able manner- in ‘which the Se
cretary of State has exposed the fin.
gular proposition relative to the repar
ation for the attack on the frigate
Chefapeak, almost obviates the neces
sity of further elucidation. The
manner in which the paper of memo
randa was prefented,however,deferves
some notice.—The affair of the Ches
apeake up to the 23d of October, had
been embraced in the general corres
pondence betweeg Mr. Smith and
- Mr Jackson. The latter, in his letter
- of that date, omits the fubje altogeh
} er ; but, in a note of the 27th of O&.
~he {lipped in a separate propolfition,
- which he doubtless thought. would
like the artful pafsof a fencing master,
effet a palpable hit. There was some
thing so extremely ridiculous in this
trick, that it could excite nothing but
a farcaftic,fmile at the awwkard effort
at dexterity in Mr Erskine’s {ucceffor.
He was placed in the pofiure of a
wandering and pretended conjurer,
who being a novice in deception,hugs
himfelf in the conceit that he is de
~ ceiving his audience, whillt the audi.
ance perceive the whole cheat and
~ laugh at the conjuror’s clumsiness.
t Bat what was this paper of memo
' randa ? Surely net a tender nor an
l’ a& of reparation. It was a demand
on the American government to le:
galize, by acknowledging, the corre&-
nefs of the principle upon which the
frigate was attached ; and thus to
~ julyfy the outrage for which atdne
ment was by the memoranda propos
[ ed. The reservation for the refiora
tion of Britith fubje&s and delerters,
_is to all intents and purposes, such a
demand. Besides the fatisfa@ion was
.not a point of interest but a point of
~honor. And what nation ever yet
- made conditions in a case of honor ?
-Does Mr Jackson imagine that the
- government of the United States is
{o mercenary, that it is eager to seize
-the trifling fam which is to compen
. fute the {urviving tslations of the {lain
and the maimed in that vile attack?
Let him, if he does, shake off his day
' dream, and learn henceforward that
| itis the honor of our flag that requires
| fatisfaction, and that the reparation
' is not to be accepted upon the princi
. -ples of bargain and sale. This is the
. do&trine maintained by Mr. Madison
i in his correspondence with Mr. Rose ;
| -and it is the do&rine which the Brit
| ifh themselves maintained in the case
| of Falklands. Islands. ’
The legislative body is the Alexander
to cut the gordian knot of perplexi
ties that compress the eaergies ot the
nation. The writer of this produétion
is the friend of peace; buthe is aliothe
friend of American rights and honor,
He cherithes the idea of tranquility ;
but woald bluth to discourage a war
inl a pre.eminently jult cause, either on
account of its-expence or its hardthips.
If no other reason induced the despair
of a restoration of a good underfland
ing with England, fufficient cause cant
be discovered for it in the appeint
ment and condu&® of Mr. Jackson.
Independent of other sircumitances,
already adverted to, he was feleCted
by the Britith cabinet with the full
kaowledge, communicated by Mr.
King whlift minilter in Londos, that
he was odious to the government of
the United States. Kis behaviour
here has been a tiffire of insolence and
absurdities ; and the very law of na.
tions to which he so cavalierly appeal
ed in behalf of his rights, he has him
{elf palpably violated.

Perhaps the period has arrived when our
interest demands a public and ungualificd ex
preifion of our featiments—perhaps this is
the most proper moment to press upon our
eacmics a conviGion of our proud determi
nation. Perhaps, to dissipate that fapatic
madness and delusion, and teach the vain
boafier, who arrogantly tramples upon us
and contemptuously sneers at our fufferings,
that our forbearence has been the refulr of

your conduct had retarded and almost def l

fail to convince the worid of your degrada

jultifying the defeat of this measure, for
whose obtainment you thought yourselves

your contempt for us, think that such fhal

you vainly hoped that we should never find

New-Hamp/bire to Maffachujetss,
DEAR SISTER,
I HAVE, late'y, beeén informed that
some of your children intend to take an a@ive
part in the management of my farm the enfu
img vear lam. therefore,induced to address
you, and request you to prohibit their per
fcverance ina condu@ so dilgraceful to t7eme
Jelves, and troublesome to me. Many months
having clapfed since I heard from them, I
had.indulged a hope that they would in
future allow meto © manage my own affairs
in my own way.” and forbear an intcrference
which, to {ay the leaf, is cxtremely indelicate,
I am dctermined to submit to it no Innger.
You know, my dear filter, that for many
years I have been in the habit of following
your example ; during which time we have
lived harmoniously, and. in goed ncighbor
hood I have always loved and refpe@ed
you, as well on account of your age and.
standing in #5: family, as frem a principle of
gratitude for the services you have rendered
us all: particularly at the firff fertlement of
our farms, when we encouutered innumera
ble tofls and dangers ; and, more recently,
in those trying times: when we carried on a
long and tedious low suit with our cruel ftep
mothet, o/d madam Britannia, who, in heg
endeavors to deprive us of our patrimony,
afed every measure of art and intrigue, of
force and fiaud ; and has never ceased to
worry and perplex us when an opportupity
off:red. :
Many of your children are strangely altered
since those times, and youyourfelf (it grieves
me to fay it) have mani'fcz;cd, too strongly,
a dereliction of the found principles in which
Wwe weke educated. And here, while (in
support of that INDePENDENT CHARACTER
which I hope ever to maintain, and transmit
unfuilied tc my posterity) I am-compelied to
remonstrate against you ; let me thank Gon,
that neither th“ontagion of your example, nor
the efforts of these unworthy children who
have deluded you, could succeed in entirely.
etadicating the sorred ideas | had imbibed in
early life. 1 have been tempted, but not
overthrown. * €ass dewn but not defiroyed.”
I have been drawn near the verge of the pre
cipice, but have retraced my steps. Fhave
quit the slippery paths—and, would to Gon,
my dear sister, that T could persuade you to
break from the thraldom in which you are
held. That I could dispel the delusive gloom
in which you are involved ang shew you the
enemies who will most certainly destroy you
unless you escape —Their embrace is death.
But 1 forbear. You will, I trust, ere too
late, fee the errors into which we have been
led, and retorn to the bosom of our fumily,
where UNION, CONFIDENCE and MUTUAL
surPoRT fhail be fubflituted for the jealou~
fies and heart-burnings that now prevail.
In'my Tuture communications I {hall pre- \
bably bave occasion to advert to the events
of the two last years, and to the impudent
fhoutings, the unhailowed voeiferations and
fenfeiefs clamor, raised against our FaTHERS
at the councit FIRE. 1 now return to the.
main objcé& of this letter.
- Thave exprefled my unhappiness that your
children should again purpose to interfere.
