THE DlPLOMATlC POLlCY OF
MR. MADlSON UNVELLED.
'No. I.
ss IT is proposed to examine, in a calm and
gdispassionate manner, without invective,
and as far as is practicable,-without undue
* prcpossessions, the very interestin Mea
sures of Mr. Msdison's short A minis
tration. Our observations and arguments
will beaddressed to that enlightcned por- ,
tion of the community, who examine be- ;
fore they decide ;—who recollect, com- (
bine and compare facts, before they draw si
inserences ; and who habitually keeptheir !
3 passions in some degree of subordinition _
f to their understandings. -
I- it willbe seen by this introduction, that
i there are other classes of citizens to whom
l the following candid remarks, the result of
{ close examination and honest and sedulous
; enquiry, are in no degree addressed :—Let
si all such men forbear to read what will only
serve to confirm their prejudices and in- ,
fiame their passions—for no observation is ,
more correct than that where men have ;
formed violent prepossessions upon slight ;
or no foundations, those prejudices are on- '
; ly embittered by strong and forcible argu- !
ssi ments directed against such savorite spi
l nions. Those. therefore, who believe that
our Administration is always in the right, ,
_ and Great Britsin always in the wrong ;— '
-ssthose who _consid'er it a proof of hatred to
l
l
!
one's own Country to shew that the exist- !
ing and temporary rulers of it are hurrying I
it to its ruin ; and especially those who en
tertain the ungenerous and unmanly senti- .
ment that'every man who examine: with ]
Candar the conduct of a Foreign Nation, or T
of its Ministers, is either a partizan or a
pensioner of such nation; had better shut '
' their eyes to these essays, at the very out- -
set: for they will only tend to inflame their '
' resenttnents by a firm and resolute expo
sure of their errors. .
There are some, however, who are nei- '
ther so candid or so enlightened as to be
entirely open to conviction, and yet not so !
prejudiced as to be proof against its force : si
'who had learned from sad experience to
distrust the sincerity of Mr. ]:rrsnsou,
and were therefore capable of duscussing
with eloseness the nature of his measures : ,
Yet these same persone deem it unfalr to !
enmine, with the same degree of suspi- ,
eion, the conduct of Mr. Madison. ,
A charitable sentiment-towards this gen
tleman, has acquired a wonderful inﬂuence,
owing principally to the undeserved praise '
incautiously bestowed upon a measure little ,
understood, and which, when thoroughly ,
mpined, will be" found to merit a high
degree of eeneure. The adjpstment with
Great Britain wassmeaeure so gratifyissng
to all the true lovers of their "country, and
"of. its peace, that without reﬂection,.they

Adipted to thin mte of thing: tn'ssmt be
our course of prnccdure. The Political
History of Mr. Madison will he first and
brieﬂy discussed, in order to shew us what
we have a right to expect of him, and to
prove that hatrecl to Great Britain and at
tachment to French politics were deeply
rooted in. his own character totally inde-'
pendcnt of his connection with Mr. ]eﬀer
Having taken this view us the arrange-l
ment with Rrskine, We she! say a few'
Word: about the rejection of it hv Great
Britain, and the motives and grounde of
that measure.
\Ve shall then proceed to discuss the late
negociation With Mr. ]eckson. ln sithe
progrees of this discussion, we shall first
consider the soundntion of the charge a
gainst Mr. Jacksonios having insulted our ,
government :—\/Ve shall endeavor to shew, '
that there hue been no intimation on his,
part ofony want of veracity in our admif (
nistration—that upon the point on which
the contradiction has been alletlged to have
existed no cliscordence whatever can be.
perceived—that he had not advancedctnyi
thing which it not ndmitted on thewes-of
our edministrationz and that, so far from "
having aggravated hie nppoeed insultsshe'i
purpoeely and delicat y ebetoined' int-"Mi
laet letter from repeating the G'gltidi
which two pretended to be offeoeive.
We ehall then proceed to onalyze the!
whole correspondence,,ansl toehew that-si
the: char e siot indeoorum reste against Mrs
'Smith : ' 'hnthie first letter to Mrijacksieon

We shall then proceed to consider the
arrangement with Mr. Erskine; in which
we shall examine the proofs of the imbesi '
cility of" that young gentleman—the e'xtta- 'ss
ordinary course which was adopted os set- ss
ting upon him all our ministers separately
—the errors into which he was led and
which produced his violatioh of his orders : ct
The measures of the administration adopt- ;
ed to prevent G. Britain ,from acceding to *
the arrangement—the proofs that it was]
neVer expected the arrangement would be 1
agreed to, and of course the evidence it l
aﬂ'ords of insinrerity— the appointment of
Mr. ]. Q. Adams to the court of one of
the allies of Bonaparte and enemies of G
Britain, beforeZ the event of the arrange
ment was known, with a view, as it will
turn out, to form a coalition against Great
Britain, or to combine in the means of re
sistance ; a measure caticuiated to excite her
jealousy, and to gratisy siBonaparte. -Under
this head we shall untice also the conduct
of Congress at the_]une session, and shew
that it was & violsittton of the impiicd b'ar—
gain with Mr. Erskine, and a departure
from Mr. Madisun's personal assurances to.
that gentleman : and, ]astly, the late course
of negociation with France-, which proves
that the arrangement with lirskinc was ex
plained to Bonaparte as a measure whissch
must sail. and that it was intended to widen
the breach between us and bingiand: in
this light Bonapztrtc received and approved
of it. " \ 3
