Mr. Pinkney to Mr. Smith, Sept. 28>
1810.
He must indeed be a Man of Job>like Pa.
tiencp, who does noi feel i uffl -d l»v a peru
sal of the correspondence of our Minister at
the British Court, now laid before us. He.
mud be dead to the dignity of his country,
"who does not feel the cool and deliberate in.
dult which has been aimed at her through
Tver Minister'at the Court of St. James’s.—
The Following simple narrative, will sprak
for itself —We appeal for its truth to the
D.icmm uts which ate now before us.
The case of Mr. Jackson is before the
Wuihl—On the second of January, 1810,
Mr. Pinkney . addresses a letter to Loid
Wellesley, in which he exp&.iates on his
■conduct, and winds, up with a “ request”
in the name of lie President, that he be
recalled at the same time assuring him,
“that, in requiring the recall of Mr. J the
S. wish not to be understood, as, in any
^degree, obstructing com cunications, which
m»y lead to a friendly accommodation;
luit that, on the contrary, they sinceiely
*re ain the desire, which they have constant
ly professed, to faciluaie so happy an e_
vent; mid that nothing will be more agiera.
bit to them, than to find the minister who
has rendered himself so justly obnoxious,
jrc[daccd by another, who. witli a cliff- vent
^character, may carry with him all the uu.
thnriues and instructions requisite for the
Ctmpiete success of his mssion. ike.”
Mr. J. •• the justly obnoxious” minister,
xvas still in this countiy — it was therefore
fair tot expect, that the request would be '
iumediatety noticed, the minister, us soon I
«» possible, recalled, ami a competent suc_
«*swr sent in his room.— Bui in all these
Msp«cts, the British Cabinet fell short of
our wishes ar.d expectations.
mFar ten "weeks, was the letter of our mi
raster neglected— [and. it we may antici-1
pate the order.of our narrative, far eight
Tenths was Mr. Jackson retained in the
TJ S. ; audio this day, no successor has
been sent nor perhaps even named.]
On the W'.h March, our minister receiv_
•cd the long looked for reply to his letter of
the 2d January. It is couched in general
ami evasive terms-Without, touching the
point at issue, or giving either praise or
closure to Mr. Jack.son for his insults to.
wards us, the Maujuh promises to recall
him, merely from.the fmre of that disposL
ftion which his majesty always feels “ to pay
the utmost attention to the wishes and ser
finyents of states in amity wit.li him”—but
■without “marking, with any expression ot
his displeasure the conduct o' Mr J ” The
lurking resentment of his majesty, however,
peeps through this disguise ; tor inse-ij ot
snvtrting our wishes for anew minister, the
Mnrqms very c.uillv dismisses the subject
by saving, “ that Mr. J. is ordered to deliver
over he charge of his Majesty’s affairs in
America, to a person properly 'qua. fied to;
cany on the ordinary intercourse between
the two governments, which his Majesty is,
.sincere !y desirous of cultivating on the most I
friendly terms.” In plain English, “ since !
.you have rejected the minister we have i
9-Ur you, we diall not send you any other.” j
Tot* pique and the contempt which were
Visible in this proceeding, must have been
apparent to every eye Mr. Pinkney howe
ver, hat the modesty to say to Mr. Smith :
** In lohat light, the President will view
•he course which, after so much delibcrati
on. this government has adopted, it would
not become me even to conjecture.” But it I
■was impossible tor others not only to con.. I
Jfccture, but to speak out—for it was Clear1
iTiat there was bin one light in which the)
president could view it
Before these documents, however, were I
received by our government, or before they
could even suspect that it was the wish of
the British Cabinet to close the doors upon
vs ; fresh instructions were sent out to Mr.'
Pinkney, to assure the British government.
«f our dtjire/to facilitate a friendly accom«
enndation of all the existing differences be
l tween —to leave it to their choice, to
bring it about either through M , J’s succes
sor here, or our minister there; and to pave
the way for the latter course, Mr. P. wan
Charged with full powers for this purpose.—
JO'i the itidbpensible ground, however, man
ro adjustment on poims of interest could be
thought of, until the s ain on our national ,
fi' nor had beer, ivifird off, he was instructed
not even to commence thi„ ncgociation, •• un
/it the icquisi e satisfaction had been madein
the fffitu- of tin Chesapeake,'* and to artt inpt,
a/me arrangement tor the revocation of the
Qrdns in Council, preparatory to a treaty-— |
'but this last point was by no means to be*
made a sine qua non
In this frame of mind, what must have
?>« eti the feelings of »>ur government on re
ceiving the Despatches of Mr. Pinkney !—
't hey lelt as they ought to have done—they
*a<v that the answer <>t lord Wellesley " man
rte-fed a dissatisfaction at the step nrccssa.
vily taken in regard to Mr. Jack ion, and at
ti e some time a dimmu'ion of the rckfu-ct
herrti lore attached to ibe diplomatic iela_
Vonsb.-t vgen the ' wo countries.” I'hev felt,
U ♦» ’J tlit* Mjipomt tmaif o| a charge d'affaires
U'; an tbsfllu e nttcad 9! a flrov hiional
S
measure, there was a “ du’y imposed on them
bv the r«les of equality and reciprocity, np„
plicabte to such cases ” The only doubt,
however, was whether this step wag “ mere
ly to afford time for a satisfactory choice of
a plenipotentiary successor to Mr. Jackson,”
or not. To this point, therefore. Mi** a'ten..
tion of Mr I* was called. •• In the event
|of it* appc»ring that the substitution of a
charge d’affaires tor a minister plenipoteu
tiary is io be of a continuance not required
or explained by the occasion, hr was in r=
turn to the U S Yet so rnn~h was the Pre
sident bent on putting the differences between
me two countries ai rest, that he was even
willing, in some degree, to wave that “ re
spec? which the U. S. owed to themselves”
—and our minister was instructed not tore
Mgn his charge, •• in case he should have
commeticcd, with a prospect of a naiisftcto.
’ </ retmlt. the ncgnciations authorised” a_
bu’ e.—Yet is the President, we are told,
averse fo a peace with Britain?'
Lei us now cross ihe water, and see what
has become of Mr Piuknev—it is, however,
previously necessary to remihd our reader,
that four very brief Notes had passed in the
months of February and March between the
two ministers, on a point which svas e*r::cc
ted to lead the wav to a revocation of the or
I dvrs in council. France had promised to
take off her Berlin Decree, if G. Britain
f would take off her bl.ckades of F nice of a
date anterior to that of the Berlin Decree_
and each nation whs thus successively to
take oil in the orcTtr-ol their dates, and so
leave the rights of the U States untouched.
The British cabinet bad thus a fair oppor.
tunity of testing the sincerity of their pro
fessions towards us—but the marquis Wel
lesley thought fi to wave the arrangement,
upon the most frivolous grntirids. _Mr
Pinkney, however, not being satisfied with
ihoe slippery evasions, determined, on one
more experiment-to state to him. in
writing, what he had not previously done,
that such was the wish and such would be
the effect on France.-and to try, ifpos
sible, to fix hint to sav, that the blockade*
of Mav 1800, atul of Venice, were no longer
in force or that they were now revoked.
So much by way' ol Preface.
We are now prepared to understand the
points, to which Mr. P. invites the attention
o; the British minister. Let us then, goon
at once wit It our tale .let us take up the
corresp ,ndence, and see tne reception which
he meets with-if there is one man, who
does not feel indignant at the contemptuous
insults which were offered on the one side
and so meekly endured, on the other, lie
mu«t possess an inflexibility of nerve, not
much to be enyied
Let us proceed then to the /nrr.,——On
8 n April 1810, Mr. P. informs M>\ Smith,
hitm a conversation with Lord Wellesley
ttiev had ag* eud to begin with an attempt to
se. l-tneaflai of the Cites 'peak; if success
tul,, to go on io the orders in council, and
tht n all the commei cial and other puiuts, in
a treaty.
la pursuance of this plan, he addressed a
note to Lord Wellesley siting his power to
adjust the cnseof the chesapkak. •• I have
not itice hea d from nis L rdship (aavs he
in Ids despatch ol April 8tr.) to whom. 0/
count\ it now belongs to make proposals.”
On oOth April, he addresses another note
to lord Wellesley, begging tocnquirc 01 him
wueiher -.here exis s any objection, on the
par t othis majesty’s government to a revo,
cauon. (or to a declaration that they are no
longer in lorce,) of the blockades in quest!
oil. especially that of May, 1806.”
On May 3d. lie addresses 0no her note to
my Lord, calling his Lordship’s attention
to a pi ttcticc wmch has tor some lime past
prevailed in this country, of forging Ame
■ ican ships’ papers, lor the purpose o- giving
English vessels tue character of Ameri
Can bottoms.’*
On the 13th June, no reply to either ofi
those three applications but “ in a short
conterence, on he 10'h. I pressed for a:
prompt and favorable reply” ( o his letter!
of 30.h April) *• and shall perhaps receive |
it in the course of a few days.” But my,
Lord was unwell ' Well, that is some ex', •
ense.—M re conferences over the (.'.hesa- i
pcake—and as he and his Lmdship had tin - !
derst iod each other verbally on the terms *
ot adjustment, some hing in black and white I
might soon be expected : •• I aim expecting
every (lay,” s ys our sanguine minister, on
tlu- 13th ot June, *• I atn expecting every !
day Lud Wellesley’s written overture on
that affair.**
Oi 'he 26' h June, the ice not yet broken !_
but another note to my Lord, begging to re*
c;il h-s Lordship’s attention, fkc.
On July 1st, every 'hing in air !—but •• I ■
mean to press Lord Wellesley, at our next
interview, as I did at our last.” 27°On this
clay Mr. P. receives the Despatch about his
returning home*
On 7th July, another note, ‘‘requesting
in .ormatiim, concerning the in'enti* n ot his
majesty's government, to send a minister
plenipotentiary to the U. S. as the successor
of Mr. Jackson.”—But a packet! Heavens, 1
what is ir * A reply from the most no de the
marquis Welles'ey of nine lines, with the
mysterious maik 'private” stating that it
is difficult to emer upon this point officially,
but that he means to recoinmeml the ap
pointment ol an Envoy !—Thanks, noble sir,
for your nv>st cundesceiiditig civility !

of the Chesapeake. I sent him on the 8th j
a letter, «»t which a copy, is enclosed. No i
imp or unity h;<d before been spared, which !
it became me to use &c.ikc.” Fye, ly* ! Mr.
Pinkney.— 1 1 Icar, however, that the de-1
claiiitmn will be declined ; unless, indeed,'
lord Wellesley sUou (1 continue to evade my
applo a inn, by re timing no answer to it.-l
A hkw practice, I think, which, little to
be CoinmeiHied as it is must, I presume, if
persisted iti here, be reciprocated in Ame
rica.—In a few days. I intend to renew mv
efforts to bring i»,is matter (the Chesapeake}
to a conclusion, and to obtain an answer n/
gome sort, to my letter of the 30 h of April.
I am sufficiently inclined to present a strong
paper upon b"th subje is; hut, in the actual
postuie of afftirs, and in the absence of such
