It appears, that Congress might have

Your let'cr of ihc third inst. found me
al tin;, place, and on the point of embaiking
for the U. S. i has*cn, therefore, to give
to it an immediate answer.
1 here was no error in my representation
t<> you. nor in your representation to Lord
Wellesley. of the words, or of the meaning '
as I understand it. of the duke of Cadort V
no»e to me ; nor indeed do cither of these
appear to be readily susceptible of mistake I
I lie foimtr, no dnub rktuact in the I
most positive terms, the Berlin and Milan
deciecs, and, of course, the principles on
which these decrees were founded ; and in
doing so. assuredly give us a fair claim on
his Britannic majesty for a fulfilment of the
promise made by his minisiei plenipnrenti
aiy to our government, on *he 23d day of
February, 1808. It would, however, ap.
pear by lord Wei csley’s letter to you n* tlic
31st ult. that the British cabinet has given
a new version to this promise of his majesty,
and ihat, as a preliminaiy to Ps executn-n,
it is now requited, not merely that the ftrin
cifiles winch had r< ndered m-ct ^sary' ihe
British vstem, should he retrac.'ed, hat Hi it
the rept nl of he French decrees should have
actually began 'o opera e; and that tin com
tnerce oj neutral ua'ions (gener-illv) should
have been restored to the condition in which
if mood fireviously to he firomn/gation of
they decrees. It would also appear, from
d.flVrtnt passages in youi letter, that this
deviation from the original p--mise of his
majesty grew out of n supposition that the
fecal ot the French decree s impl ed a c-i.
tent pm ane.'us cessation ofihe British orders
in counc** of November, 1 HOT, and a repeal
before the first, day of November next of all
proclamation bl.ickndes of France, Sec. See.
1 ban this construction nothing chii, in my
opinion, be more erroneous. Were the re
peal of the French decrees dependent alone
on what Great Britain may do, the suppo
sition would have in it some color of rcasonl
Ableness ; but as the conditions of it present!
.m alternative, one side of which depends,;
a t on the will of his Bi itannic majesty at
all. but altogether on that of the U. S. and I
which r an not be adopted by them umil after!1
the first November next, it necessarily M ji
lows that the conditions are not flrecedrn/, \'
as has been supposed, but subsequent, as I
represent them. This reasoning will re l
cc>ve illustration from a plain and unsophis ,!
tirated stn'ement of the duke of Cadorc’s !1
declaration, vis : That the Berlin and Mi„j!
I,n decrees will cease to operate After the. |i
first dav of November next, on one of two ]
Co ditions; either'ti» G- eat Britain shall
revoke her orders it. o*ictl, so far as they
violate the maritime i ights of the U. S. or
that, refusing 10 do so the U S. shall revive
towards her certain sections of their late
non .intercourse law, conformably to an act
of t ong, ess of the first May l iv. In this we
find n>> ning of a contemporaneous cessation
of tin French decrees and British ord-rs in
council, nor that the blockades of Fiance
must be recalled bef >re the fi st day of No.
vem’oer next ; indeed the very reserse is to
be found there ; for it contains an express
engagement, that the decrees shall ce tse. if
the U. S. do a certain act. which all the
world knows they catiuot do till after that
day.
These remarks ntay derive some additi
onal force from the contents of my l?tter,
hv Mr. Mason, which will. I hope, shew,
that the concessions made h\ France to the
U. S. are at least sufficiently substantial to |
invite fr.«m G. B. some measures of a ch»,
raetc-r equally conciliatory, and that *• ear
nc-llv dt smug to see the commerce of the
world restored to that freedom which isne
cessary to its prosperity.” and no more he.

either, that francs shall hive actually
withdrawn her offensive decrees on 'hut
day, or (hat if the refuse to do so, thr U.
shall firocred (o enforce against her their .
late non intercourse law.
In my view of the subject, nothing short J
of this can be considered a sufficient pledge, |
on ihe pan of the British government, which, i
unlike that of France, presents no alterna
tivc in the conditions on which her orders
in council shall be repealed, and which, of
course, in no way makes that repeal to de_ i
p'*'d on an act, which would be altogether |

Mr. Al Kcc comd not see the propriety of 1

Mr. Trou/i said his object was to ob sin 1
nlor(nation as to certain lands in the Mis I
lissippi territory ; the title to which the U.
i. had on the one hand declared to be ves- 1
ed in them, and the Supreme Court on the c
>ther hand had declared not to be in the U. >

k' izoo speculation This decision must e:.
oer be acquiesced in or resisted by the U. I
V if acquiesced in, it must be in one of two
vay.s. 1 he U, S. must either permit the

he ordinary C&urse, or mast peimit tl
jjossession lobe taken by the claimants . —
\Vlie.her iliuy acqii seed n one way or • ,e
other, two distinct great rights were aflec
ted : 1st, the gr at interest ol the whole
people of the United Staes, claiming equal

2d. the gnat in crest of toe people of Geo1 -
gta, to whom tin. United Sta es had agiecd
to pay S 1 250 000 out of the proceed* « t
he sales ot these lands. If the decision of
'■he Supreme Court of the United States was
acquiesced, tn. the state of Georgia would be
•*us defrauded both of her land and money.
Hut it the government ot the United States
would not sub-m to this decision, but resist
it to the last extremity ; wh *t cornse could
he taken but in emploi ihe whole military
torce of the United S-.utes to eject all per
sous not claiming under the authority ol the
