MR. JACKSON.
Montbkat,, Aug. 13—On Monday after. .
noon arrived here tr im Upper Canada, hi*
rxccllency the rigV. honorable Francis Janie:- ;
Jackson, his majesty’s minister plenipoten. I
tiury to the United States of America, his
lady, and one of their children a fine liny
abAut 5 years old. They put up at Holmes’s
Hotel, which was no sooner known, than the
gentlemen of this city determined upon in.
viiing him to honor them with his company
at R public dinner.
Being circumscribed in point of time, from 1
hit wish to return soon to N. York, where
a frigate is expected tocavryhim and farm
ly to England, he was unable to promise a
later day than Thursday. That day was
accordingly fixed upon, and not withstanding
so short a notice, such was the eagerness and
anxiety of the public to pay evtry mark of
respect to so distinguished a character, that
a very numerous list of English and Cana
dian gentlemen was rapidly filled up. In ,
vitaiions were also sent to General DrutiiJ
mend, the Field Officers commanding the ar
tiilery and engineers, and the heads of de_
partments in the garrison ; as also to several
gentlemen strangers then in town. On Thurs.
day about 6 o’clock, the company (in ail a- |
bunt 1.10) sat down to table, ' ■ j
The him Mr M Gill was in the chair, and
Mr. Justice Panel and Mr.Richardsou, vice,
presidents.
I he toasts given on the occasion by the
President were.
Tile health of Mr. Jackson-and may
the distinguished ability, dignity and firm
ness displayed by him in the late negociaiion
«t Washington in support ofthe honor of our
country, be followed as ail exaihple by all
British Plenipotentiaries,
May the Democratic part of the United
States feel, that brutal abuse ut a public Mi
uister for fidelity to his trus , marks a fero
oi'-.V that even savogvs would blush at
Oil the lie.iltli of Mr Jackson being given
the room resounded with applause.
Mr. Jackson on his health being diai.k
-said, **
Gen.'lrmen,-T beg leave to return to
you my hehrt-felt thanks for the honor you
have this day done me ; and I thank your
' very worthy president for the manner of lus
expressing a sentiment which you have fa.
voted with your animating approbation_
Although T have for sometime had the hap
piness to number amongst my friends 9 por.
tion of this company, yet we, gentlemen, are
for the most part so little personally k-iowa
lo each other, that however much I am in„
debted to your kindness, and how deeply so
ever 1 may feel the objig itionsl must chiefly
attribute ilie favorable manner in which you
have received this toast to those principles
of national policy by which I have been ac -
tuated in that part ot mv public services
which has come more immediately under
your observation. Those principles which
I had the good fortune early to imbibe from
some of the most illustrious statesmen that
have adorned our country, it will be tnv
pride to adhereto. to my Intest moments & to.
transmit unimpaired as the must valuable
patrimony that I can bequeath to my children
They consist, gentlemen, briefly in this that,
with every disposition to promote harmony
with other powers, the honor and dignity of
our sovereign must be at all risks vindicated ;
the commercial interests and naval supre’
.m toy of Great Britain must be as strenu
biidv asserted in the cabinet as they are
gloriously maintained upon the ocean by
those heroes to whom our interests upon that
element Are deservedly entrusted.
Gentlemen, after the approbation which I
have been so happy as to receive from our
trust gracious sovereign.cdnvejed in terms
f ir transcending any merits that I can
have contracted in his service, it lias been
a satisfaction to n-.e to find mv conduct sane.
• Gnned by a great and verv respectable part
of '.he Com nullity iy which I have lately re.,
sided. It is a farther and a still higher grati
fication to me (because the approb ition ot my
;ingiicr oojecc oi my ambi
tion) to fi.nl that conduct applauded by yon
who from your local situation are tube con si
«Ii** ed as very conpt tent judges of the sub
ject. With sentiments so congenial to those
whxh Inis piev.il between u.s, I cannot on
im par tail to entertain the most sanguine
w.she* for the happiness nod prosperity of!
those provinces, and of this city in particu —
Jar, whose loyalty to the king and attach- j
meat to our common country have ever been
®° conspicuous. Permit me to e nb »dy these
^ee'ings in a toast waicli I propo.V:
Toast.—Union in the councils, and prospe
rity *7 Commerce and agriculture of the
two U -matin*.
After .the toast of “thearmy." Mr, Jack
son giin asked leave to g ve another
sentiment, arvJ said.
Gentlemen. y».1u vrill have observed that
iti ihe sentiments 1 before expressed there
wnsnothii g exclusive*, nothing that could
S' e umbrage out oi tt.room. I he prin

ted not fur he gratification o/a,,y selfish ob

vex ition of any less formidable jjower ; but

main? lo the freedom and indepei.'deuce
winch is yet to be found in the civilized
world against that system of rapine and p
•ui p'ion that has so nearly overwhelmed
e iiiinental Europe, and the only bulwark
that can shield this western hemisphere from
similar disasters ; in these principles, therc_
t e, theic is nothing inconsistent with that
gox! will that shouldejist between us and
tin- neighboring states, where there are men
who duly appreciate the value of a good un

me I shall carry home with me no other re_
gret than that of not having been he i.istru.

been too actively fomented aud stiff red to
exist too long. I propose as a toast.
Prosperity to the U. S. of imcrica.
Upon which an American gentleman im*
sent, desired permission togive a T->.ns; — .
which being granted, he spoke to the iolio.v
ing purpose :
That inquired by the liberal seiriments
expressed towards his country by the en
lightened ambassador from G K. he telt in
cuinhent on him to follow Mr. Jackson with
another sentiment, which he had no doubt
would Ue drank with entire satisfaction.
Old England—who with Human pride &
Homan power hath during a war of eigheeu
years, resisted ami repelled the triioriVious
and overgrown power ot democracy, and
who with extended arms hath successfully
lashed and buffeted the waves of despotism
which have overwhelmed and mercilessly
destroyed all continental Europe.
Other volunteers were given, particular
ly one bv General Drummond, viz: The
health oj .Mrs Jackson—in which the com
panv most cordially joined. Upon this, Mr.
J icksnn again said, that it had almost the
appearance of presumption in him, to have
occupied so often the attention of the com
pany that evening, hut he had another vo.
lunteer to propose, and they would allow
there could not lie too many volunteers in a
good cause ; and now (he added) that the
ice is broken, which by the bye he under
stood was no easy matter in siiis northern
region, lie would shortIv propose to them to
drink ** I he City of Mmtreal,” which was
immediately dune with thrte cheers
Mr J.ickS'<n went to the Theatre on
Thursday evening after leaving Holmes’s
hotel, and wa-. received with the loudes

which the audience cheered him, and the

TJiE AMERICAN SIDE STATED.
In the ar'icl? from the « London Travel
! ler,” (on our first page.) wt have a strong
■ and ingenious view of the British side of the
1 question. Lee us reverse the medal—and
]do justice to the cause of truth, justice and
! America.
| The writer laments, that “ the harmony
j °f two nations which are linked together bv
Iso many affinities’' and interess, * should
he fora moment interrupted.” . Now we
I admit, on the very threshold, that firace
is the interest of America-as it is of G.
Britain—and that in some other respects, the
interests of the two nations are the same._
In all that respects the manufactures of G
Britain, it is clearly so. They have pro_
duccd the articles which we consume. And
they consume the raw materials, which we
ourselves produce. Thus, they are alter
r.atelv the consumers and producers, «or their
ozvit emolument—bulling to us wnat we
ourselves may want, and huying of us what
. they themselves may want. But when we
speak of Great Britain, as a nation, we for_
! get that she is a large hotly corporate, which
[ presents a most complicated mass of parts
and interests-some of these mav be link
ed to ourselves, by “powerful affinities;'
with tile oth- r part, our own inter -st may
rudely clash together. Thus doe- the naviga
i ting interest ot Great Britain ennlt in mr
J prosperity ? Does the cupidity of her adtnt
j rrtby and her navy it j nice to see. our ru.h
merchantmen escape trom their fangs?_
Are her merchants best pleased with allow*
j iog our traders a fair portion of commerce,
or with appropriating the whole of it to them
selves i Wnat does the whole history of
their jealousies and their heart burnings a*
our prospei ity prove t What, their favorite
writers from L ird Sheffield to flic .uiilior of
Wur in Disguise / What, all the orders
and regulations of that (lovernmcnt, from
tire time of their colonization nets down to
their very last orders in council i There is
a spirit ot monopoly, of regretting, and of
upon me vei v face oi them
Anil what is worse, is this ; that these are
the very interests, wbicu have acquired sj
stern an ascendancy over the British cibi..
net. So strong was this Conviction upon the
mind of Mr. Monroe when lie was our Mi
nister at Loudon, that amongst his last des„
patches t«l our government (his letter ot Au
guv 4, 1307,') tie labors to impress the same
ideas iipon them. “ Such, say s he, is the
state ot this c >untry at the present crisis,
that it is impossible to foresee what will bi
its c >Ui se of conduct towards the United
btates. There lias been at all times, since
the com nence.meui. of the present war, a
strong /tart y here forextending its ravages
to. them. 1 Ins par v is composed of the
SHIP.owners, the NAVY, the East and
West India Merchants, anti several po
litical characters of great consideration in
the state. So powerful is this combination,
that it is most certain that nothing can he
obtained ot the government on any point, bu
wiiat maybe extorted by necessity ”
But in the very teeth of these (.ireninstan
ces, the writer charges upon ourielvc*, the
interruption ot this harmony-First, the
passions engendered by the rev luti nary
war, are •• defunct in Ci. Britain, yet in
.America, they seem but as the passions of
yesterday.” - ■Oh! surely England on her
part has buried all her resentments against
her colonies.-Our gallant tais are never
nick nained /{f kjjg. when they happen to
fall wnhin her ofneer’s fangs! The l'.d in
burgh Reviewers, who see and hear their
Countrymen every day, are, *o be sure, mis.,
taken when they assure us, in their last
Review, that •* the bitter feelings of the
colonial war still rankle in too many bo„
soms on bo'/t side* of the Atlantic.”—Yet
in this country, it 19 a fact that those ani
mosities have been weakened and worn a.
way by other impressions. New events
have calkd up a new set of propensities,
in the bosoms of a very strong pSrty. Old
affinities and new interests have given them
a strong leaning towards Great Britain.
“ I he identity of language” enables her peo
pie to glide easily Into our intercourse and
feelings •• In every part of America thro*
which I have levelled* says Talleyrand,
( “•» ' - • * • I • . • a
(who writes a memoir on this very subject,}
11 have not found a single Englishman who
I did not feel himself to be an American;
I not a single Frenchman who did not find
himself a stranger.*’—The herds of En
gllshmen who shoal in our large towns; the
number of agents who carry on our trade ;
her consuls who give a sort of tone to our
manners and our presses ; the minute rami
ficatipns of our commerce with her mer_
chants ; these tend, in various degrees, to
h as our feelings. Resides, our insutu.,
tious and Itws, which are more ana
lognus to those of her own than of any other
nation ; the precedents of our courts drawn
from those of Great Britaih, communicate
a sort of British air to this country. Our
theatres are animated by her dramas—our
lib.mes are filled with her books—and even
our journals swarm with extracts from the
London prints. These circumstances have
Contributed to wear off the tierv edge of
every man’s feelings—and what is worse,
to raise up a party in the bosom of this coun
try ; that “great and very respectable part
of the community,” whose sanction Mr.
Jackson congratulates himself on having ob
tained in his speech to the feas’ers ot Mon.,
treal — But if the passions of the revolu
tionarv war are not wholly extinguished,
whose fault is this? Can the rose bloom
amid the snows of Spitsbergen ? Can good
w 11 flourish in the midst ot continual in
subs? Can »he flame expire, which is in
cessantly supplied with fresh materials?
Can the wounds be cicatriz *d, which are
continually torn op**n hv the hand of insult ?
It cannot be —it ought not to be.
But our. ‘Executive” terms with a spirit
of “jealousy” towards-Great Britain. And
is that any wonder ? lie, that lias received
iosul’s without end, m ist indeed be blessed
with the fatuity of infants, not to feel ; . e
cause .of alarm. Hu' wc have no •* suhstanti
al and legitimate subjects of complaint”
it is private pique, an (indefinable resent
ment, an un avowed j ?al-iusv.” Indeed! are
'he insults which we have received from
Great Britain, nothing? Are the paper
1 locknricx of/iontinental ports, nothing r— .
Is thr annual blockade of our own harbors
nothing? Are th« outrages of British «hips,
wi'hili >ur o-vn jurisdiction, nothing? Is the
attack on the Chesapeake nothing ? Are the
orders in council nothing ? And suppose we
were to seize three thousand Englishmen by
fnrre and chain ’hem to our highwavs,
would the British thunders sleep, for years ?
And is it ot anv consequence, hat ‘his atroci 1
*v has been done in detachments, 8c by piece
meal—that nor seamen have been impres-J
sed at various place* and at various times ?1
\nd vet with all the«e agressions hefo e
him, this man can culailv sit d nvn and swear
upon his conscience, that cur resentment is
undr fiiiabic
"’•Hu if there were any complaints, th Bri
tish government lias always “turned an atten
tive and respectful ear to our reninus' ranc.es
—instead of pertinaciously adhering to their
own views of questions, ihf*«. h tvp referred to
those of the American government.” W rit
savs experience ? W ien we complained of
the conduct of her officers, were hey disgra
ced or promoted ? When we remonstrated
against the Chesapeake outrage, was Kerke_
lv dismissed from the service, were our sea
men restored to us ; were those things even
accomplished, which were due from his ma
jestv to his own honor ? When we even pro
posed a relinquishment of our own sense of
the* atonement which war.due tons ; and to
compromise this matter with Mr Knse. by
a contemporaneous exercise >>f powers was
our proposition accepted or rejected? When
we complained that our Colonial trade was
interrupted ; contrary to our rights, contra
ry to a formal report of the Attorney g*-ne_
ra! of Britain ; contrary to their own views
ot the question ; were our wrongs redressed
and our privileges restored ? When we of
fered to rescind our embargo as to G. Bri
tain and continue it as to France : were the
orders in council abolished, a* thev should
unconditionally have been ; was our prnpo_
sition accepted, or rejected in terms of con
tumelious taunt by Mr. George Canning ? If
therefore we have been “ most angry.” it is
certainly because we* have had by far the
most wrong* to complain of.
But the war which G. Britain wages, is
a sufficient pledge of the innocence of her
views—she has ‘ no dreams ot conquest nr
subjugation”——she is fight ing for her exts*
tenet*.-It is true, that the tf.ru a fir
ma is secure fvnm her subjugation——• hat
her ships nf war cannot sail with rhe broom
at their mast head over our fields and
mountains——but because she cannot eat
us up must we consen* to have our pockets
picked ? . our locomitive liberty restrain
ed?——and our heards plucked at h r dis
cretion ? Though the pomp of ambition does
not salute our eye, must wc* overlook the cal
culating pimping propensities of her ava
rice ? Th' ugh she has no Generals to sub
due us, .are her merchants’brains freighted
with no vulgar dreams of mercantile ambi
’■°n ? Does the Ocean presen'' them with
no theatie of triumph and subjection ? Or
when we hear her accredited minister,
F J. Jack son impressing i» upon the C
roiisei vi of Montreal, that the " navnl *u
firemacu of G. Britain must be strenuou* lv
asserted are we to be as blind as bits a-,
midst the streaming lustre of a meridian
sun ?
ii,r .vir. jar.n»nn, we snail moKe mu
one comment only on the comments of the
'/'ravelter. ft is not true, that his cabinet
has espoused liiscause—nor that they have
directly denounced his conduct. Slippery
as eels—they have steered very dexterously
between these extremes Thev indirecMv
confess, that he has bren guilty of an of :
fence, whilst thev attempt tnplead for him,1
dint it was unintentional on his part.—But ;
if diev had gone further than *his ; if they
had not only espoused his cause, but assert
ed in the words of the Traveller, that he
had •• adhered to the limits of his instruc
tions”—a case would then have hr^n
made, out, which would have brought die
two nations directly to an issue* Jackson
w°uld have been identified with his cabinet
—and his insults would have been resented,
at every risk '• The character” of Ame
rica would be gone, if she suffered an in
sult tube offered to the government of her
own choice.
“ How the d'snute between us and (>.
Britain will end,” we are equally at a loss
with the Traveller to foresee ; but certain
ly the causes which she assigns for our for*
bearance, are not of a nature to soothe our
own resentment, I* is in vain for her to tell
us, that she is, "the last stay of the old
v/orhl, against that most deplorable of all
tyrannies a military despotism” —When
she herself aspires to a tyranny more de
plot able to ourselves —Ml the attempt to
accomplish it, if not in i’s accomplishment
——a maritime despodsm The t\ r mt of
Ktirope may tbreare? us at a distance ; but
the " n&vul tu/ncmaiy’ ot i UiiUma*,.
vaults us at our own doors. As for liberty,
we require no other liberty of her than what
she sacrifices—I—the Liberty of the Sru».
IVe il > not “desire the destruction ” of
Great Britain—we desire justice, strict jus
tice only. Like the American writer, we1
contemplate with delight, the heights to!
which hevfieofile have pushed the progress
of the human mind-her arts and her
sciences ■ ■ her institutions for the improve*
ment of the young, and for the solace of de
crepitude or old age : we gaze with rapture
on the daring flight of her Shake spear’s
wing—we arc enchanted with the lavs of
her Milt*>n-we admire the attic humour
uf her Swiftsaud the profound philosophy' rf
her Humes—we catch with astonishment
the sublime inspirations of her Newton.—
But the genins of Britain is no apulogv for
her injustice- It is not Shakes f^ar, nor Mil
ton nor Swift, that rule the seem re of her
empire—but such muckworms a-. Perceval
or such butterflies as Canning. And are we
to submit to their encroachments l Are we
to strike the flag of our country, before the
“ naval supiemacy ” of G. Britain *
To THE rCDEtlAUISTS.
Gsutlemeh—You now perceive the light*
in which you have been viewed by Mr. Jack
son—and the views which his county entertains
towards your own—-His addresses to the carou
net s of Montreal spc.tk a pretty intelligible Ian
guage.
Mr. J. expresses his satisfaction, at the tancti
on which his conduct has received from a “ great
anil very respectable part of the community, in
which he has lately resided.”—Mo share of this
.ompliment is due to the democratic pirlv,
whose “ ferocity is such that savages would bins'

wing he takes shelter ; it is to you, that have cs
