PROVIDENCE, TUESDAY, JUNE 19, 1810.
No—Mr. Jackson is recalled. But he
solemnly avers that the insult alleged was
never intended, and his government be*
lieves him. This is not all—That govern*
ment will not hastily replace him with
another minister “of rank and talents."
It seems to consider itself as standing on
equal ground with the United States. It
seems to consider the two countries as
ing an equal interest In preserving amity
with each other, and equal inducements to
meet midway in adopting means to maintain
that amity.
But Mr. Smith is not content with ex*
citing emotions of hostility at the hesitation
displayed by England In making still fur*
ther efforts to soothe our administration.
He would also brand that government with
duplicity.
The evidence on which he founds this
charge will be considered. The expects*
tioo that Mr. Jackson would be replaced
by a minister of “ rank and talents," ’‘has
It is not then the style, it is the matter of
this letter which Mr. Smith deems suffi
cient to embroil two nations who alone pos
sess those inestimable blessings—liberty
and a government of laws.
What matter left ma ask, does the letter
communicate, which is so justly offensive
as to impel America one step further than
she has already taken iu promoting the
views of ambitious despotism against the
independence of nations ? Has the British
monarch refused to recall his minister ?
Has he imperiously demanded the restora
tion of Mr. Jackson, to his diplomatick
functions, and the recommencement of in
tercourse with him ?
The National Intelligencer commences
its Remarks on the correspondence between
Mr. Pinkney and the Marquis of Wellesley
with saying “ it will be learnt with surprise
and regret, perhaps with alrengcr emo-
Hoitt, that these document comprise
whole of the official correspondence,
What are these "stronger emotions’*
with which the National Intelligencer
would inspire his readers ? What, but of
increased hostility to England, and of con
sequent complacency to Fraiice ? What
must be the character, what the predispo
sitions of that mind, in which this corres
pondence would excite thesp emotions ?
Not even the editor of the Nationsl
Intelligencer will find in the letter he cen
sures one indecorous or one disrespectful
expression. Calculated as was the subject
to excite tome degree of animation, intem
perate as had been the conduct of the ex
ecutive, nnd stil) more intemperate as had
been the proceedings of Congress respect
ing it, not a sentence has been drawn from
any member of. the British government,
indicating a participation in those angry
passions which are so easily communicated.

ARMINIUS No. 111.
TO MARY IN HEAVEN:
jßlscellanp.
Poetrp.
If this extract be genuine anc} not origin*
ating in the same press with the Pinkney
letter, what does it prove ? Is it pretended
that this member of Parliament was in the
confidence of the administration; or dues
he aay that before this •• amicable outline
for a negotiation" should be sanctioned by
the American government i and before any
disposition should be manifested on our part
to recede from terms known to be unattain
able, and which only an enemy would de
mand, a minister of •’ rank and* talents*’
would be deputed to receive first the neg- j
lect, then th* personal abuse, which were
lavished on Mr. Jackson, as the precursors
of his dismission.
Mr. Smith tells us, that no outline for a
negotiation has been marked out; and in
this perhaps be has told us the truth—
There is top much reason to believe that
Mr. Pinkney did, not feel himself author
ised to agree on any amicable adjustment of
the differences between the two countries.
But does this circumstance justify the im
putation of duplicity or guile which Mr.
Smith so liberally insinuates f
But Mr. Pinkney, we are told, io a con

derived strength,” he says, " not only from
circumstances, which we have heretofore
stated, but from declaration made on the
floor of Parliament, from the language of
the British prints and from the impression
that exists in England, which is evi&ntly
encouraged by the ministry, that the nego
tiations in relation to American affairs
were progressing in the moat amicable man
ner
unmerited. But this conduct) in the Na.
tioual Intelligencer is babftuaL and excites
no surprise. ?
What are the circumstances " hereto
fore stated,” to which Mr. Smith alludes ?
He bannot, we would hqpe, intend to rely
on that disgraceful story*, res]>ecting the
private letter of Mr. Pinkqey. That tale
has effected its purpose, and might now be
permitted to sleep. If he does relyupdk
it, some further proof than his construction
of a concealed paper would be required to
establish his inferences. If he does not
mean agaiA to rest on this unhandsome and
suspicious transaction, we are at a loss to
conjecture to what he alludes.
He has then seised op impnesaious taken
up by the people of England without causa,
pnd op opinions published la British print*
without authority, to brand that govsmß
went with a stigma which he knows to be
We may without apprehension challenge
Mr. Smith to verify this assertion. The
members of the administration have in
deed always professed dispositions friendly
towards the United States; but they mult
judge for themselves of the measures which
these dispositions, in the existing state.of
things, require them to take. Mr. Smith is
defied to quote a single expression in Par
liament indicating censure Jackson,
or an intention to replace him with another
minister.
Can it be said, that we have a right to
complain because their iiupressfona have
been removed by the minister I Had our
government evqn been wfotad by them,
oenit be pretends 4 Wntueny nanfidonn
opght Lo have been ifctod in them, or that
any Injury has resulted WfoWresult from
credulity ? But will it or faq it be de
nied that our admimalratinn has never
credited them ? Our executive knows the
powers that have been given to Mr. Pink
ney, and docs not suspect him of transcend
ing them. Mr. Siphh will not prefood,
that he himself has ever believed, that the
rumour of a treaty fo be received by the
John Adams, is true.
What “ declarations have been made on
the floor of the British Parliament I”
But the language of the British prints,
and the impression in England, " evidently,
encouraged by the ministry,*’ is that " the
negotiations in relation to American affairs
were progressing in the most aqiicabJe
manner.
• . r ■
Whence does Mr. Smith ff||lect his in
formation, that the language of the prints,
and ‘he impressions existing in England,
are encouraged by the ministry ? He does
not condescend to give us the evidence on
which he founds his assertion, and we may
aearch for it in vain. It is not to be found.

their conference.”
Nor does Mr. Pinkney In his letter of
the Slot of March, so far as it is published,
indicate that we have cause to be distils- V
fied, or that the negotiation has taken a
turn which to him was unexpected.
Mr. Pinkney does not insinuate that he was
disappointed on receiving the letter of thp
14th of March,or that the Marquis of Wel
lesley in the conversation of the 2d of Decem
ber, expressed any intention of immediately
sending another minister to the United
States, or hinted an opinion that Mr. Jack
son was censurable. These inMuuatlcn*
