.«*>mr «»f tbe i,*ttaliitantsl and that it took, its
rU** in the indiscretion of the former JVlutt
i-o attention to the circumstance having l>?fcn
rilled for, and no enquiry having been invfe.
the truth of the case is unknown ; but that
»f was never supposed that Mr. Jackson
l.imsclf, who whs on hoard the frigate, had
been personally insulted ; nor is it yet un-j
«’ers‘ood in what way he supposes that he j
vas so. lam authorised to add. that any
complaint or representation on the subject
■would instantly have received every proper
attention.
The other communications (of which the
substance was anon afterwards published to
fic American people, in the form of a circu
ir letter from Mr. Jackson to the Hri
tisli Consuls in the United States) seems
to have been i itended as a justijica.
tion of his conduct in that part of his corres
pondence, which had given umbr age to the
American government. This paper (bear
ing date the 13th of November) is not very
explicit ; hut it would appear to be ealeu
luted to give rather a new form to the state
ments, which Mr. Jackson had suffered the
government of the U. S- to view in another
light until it had no choice but to act upon
the obvious and natural interpretation of
them sanctioned by himself.
It was never objected to Mr. Jackson (as
this paper srems to suggest) that he had sta
ted, that the three propositions, in Mr. Ers
ltinc’s ovigitial instructions, were submitted
to Mr. Smith by that gentleman ; or that he
had stated it as made known to him by Mr.
Canning, that the instruction to Mr. Ers
hine, containing those three conditions, <vas
the only one from which his authority was
derived for the conclusion of an arrangement
on the matiev to which it related.
Tl.e objection was, that he had ascribed to the
American government a knowledge, that the
propositions, submitted to its consideration by
Mr. Erskine, were indispensable, conditions ; nsd
that lu* did so, even after that knowledge had
been distinctly disclaimed, and lie hail been
made to percive that a repetition of the allegation
could not be suffered. I willingly leave your
JLordship to 'judge, whether Mr. Jacksm’s cor
respondence will bear any oilier construction
than it in fact received ; and whether, supposing
it to have been erroneously construed, his ici'ei
of the 4>h of November should not have correc
ted the mistake, instead of cor.finning and e-tab
lushing.
As an explanation, this paper was even worse
than nothing —It ha.l not the appearance of an
attempt to rectify misapprehensi vi. ii sought to
put the American government in the wrong, bv
assuming that what bad given si. much uinbi ,;;o
ought not to have given any -1 imported iv
proieli, rather thad explanation It kept out of
alight the real offence, a.id introdu. jng a new U
insufficient one in its place, seemed to disclose
no other wish than to withdraw from the govern
ment of the United States, the ground upon
■which it had proceeded, its apparent purpose,
in a word, was to lire a charge of injustice upon
toe past, not to produce a beneficial effect upon I
the future. In ibis view, and in this only, it was
perfectly consistent that it should announce Mr.
Jackson's determination to retire to N York ——
The time whan this paper was presented will not
hare escaped your lordship’s observations. It
followed the “demand, already mentioned, of a
Safeguard for “ Mr JackMin, his family, and the
jgeirtlenten attaches to his mission a demand
-which cannot be regarded, especially if we look
to the inducements to which it was referred an
either com dilatory or i espectful. It followed too,
the letter of the 4th of November, which, had ex
planation heen intended, ought undoubtedly to
have contained it, but which, in lieu of it, con
tained fresh malver of provocation. It was it
self followed by the publication of its oy>n sub
stance in another gerb. On the very day of its
•late, when Mr Jackson, if l'.c meant it as an ez
idaoation, could not be justified in concluding
that it would not be satisfactory, it was inou! led
l.y him into the circular address to which I hate
before alludwd ; and immediate steps appear to
have been taken to give to it, in that shape, the
■utmost publicity. I have no wish, my lord, to |
TTiake ny strong remarks upon that proceeding.
Hi will l>.; admitied that it Was a great irregulari
ty ; and thaLif Mr Jackson had been particular
ly anxious to c'-we every avenue to reconciliation

SIR FRANCIS BUKJJiii T.
The following extraordinary publication
appeared in Ccbbett’s Register of March
24:
Sir Francis Hurdett to his Constituent#—
denying the [lower of the House of Com
tnons to im/irison the Peofile of Jong
land.
Gentlemen,
The house of Commons having
passed a vote, which amounts to h dVel uu
tinn, that an order of (heirs is to ix A more
weight than Magna Charta and the Laws
of (he Land, I think it n.y duty to ,av i ,y
sentiments (hereon before my constituents,
whose character, as free men, and cvcn
wl se personal safety, depend in a ^reai a
degree upon the decision of this question_
a question of no less importance th n this:
vvl.i ther out liberty be still to be secured
bv the laws of our foref.itilers, or be to he
cu me absolute mercy oi a part of our fel
low subjects collected together by means
which it is not necessarv f >r me to describe.
l.i older to give to this subject all the at
tendon to which it is entitled, and to atoid
the danger to be apprehended from partial
views and personal h-eiing, it wiil be advi
.-able to argue the question on its own me.
T»ts,. putting the individual (however we
may deplore his present sufferings) out of
view ; though, at tae same time, every man
ought to consider the case his own ; because,
should the principle upon which the Ge nl
tlemeo of the House o: Commons have iho't
proper to act in this instance, be once acL
miued, it is impossible for any one to con
jecture how soon he himself may be sum
moned from his dwelling, and be hurried,
without trial, and without oath made against
him, from the bosom of his family, into the
clutches of n jailor. It is, therefore now the
time to lesist the doctrine upon which Mr.
Jones has been sent to Newgate ; or it is
high time to cease all pretensions to those
Liberties, which were acquired by our foe
fathers, after so many struggles, and so ma
ny sacrifices.
Either the House of Commons is autho
rised to dispense with the Laws of the Land
or is it r.ut. If the Constitution be of so de
licate a texture, so weak a frame, so fragile
a substance, that it is to be only spoken of
in terms of admiration, and 10 be viewed
nier.'i uw a piece oi curious but unprofitable
workmanship ; if Magna Churta, and all
the wholesome laws of England, he a dead
letter ; in that case the affirmative of the
proposition may be admitted; but if the
Constitution lives, and is applicable to its
end. namely, the happiness of the communi
ty, ih*e perfect security of the life, liberty
and property of each member, and all the
membfecs of the society, then tne affirmative
of tiie proposition can never be admitted ;—
then must we be free-inen; for wo need no
better security, no more powerful protection,
for our lights andUbei ties, than the Laws
us-.il Constitution. VVe seek for, and we need
seek for, uoTliir.g new ; We ask for no more
than what cur forefathers insisted upon as
their own ; we a. k lor no more than what
they bequeathed unto us ; we ask for no more
than what they, in the Testament which
some of them hau sealed, and which the
rest of them were ready to seal with their
blocii, expressly declared to be “the Birth
right oi the People of England,” namely,
“tne Laws of England.” To these Laws we
have a right to look, with confidence, for
security; to these Laws the individual now
imprisoned lias, t hrough me, applied tor re.,
tilts-, in vain. 1 ho->e who have imprisoned
him, have refused to listen to my voice,
weakly expressing the strong principles of
tilt- Lair, tne ut .cniable Claims of this En
glishman's “ Birth -right.” Your voice may
come with more force,may command greater
respect; and 1 am not without hope, that it
may prove irresistible, if it proclaim to the
House oi Commons, in the same tone as the
cogues of our ancestors proclaimed to the
ki..gs of old, “ Nohnnus Leges Angli® Mu ta
li. or i « our own more clear and not less
‘arable language, •• ihe laws of England
shall not be changed.”
'a lie Principle, fellow citizens, for which
we are now contending, is the same j-iinci
p!c for which the people of England have
contended from the earliest ages, and their
g.minus success in which contests arc now
upon record in the Great Charter of our
ngirs aim Luuerties, riki in divers outer
MjooerjHeiu btatu'.es of scarcely less iinpor_
tauce. li was il«is same great principle,
which was again attacked oy Charles the
First, in the measure of ship monies, when
again the people of England, ami an uricor.
rnpied House of Commons, renewed the con
test ; a contest which ended in the impri
sonment, ttie trial, the Condemnation, and
the Execution of that ill advised King
i'lte self same principle it was, that was so
daringly violated by his son .lames the be*
cond; for which violation he war. compel
led to flee from the jnst indignation of the
people, who not only stripthim of his crown,
hut who prevented that crown from descend
ing to Ins family. In nil these contests, the
courage, ptrseverance, end fortitude of our
ancestors, conspicuous as they were, were
not more so thin thrir wisdom ; for ta k as
long as wr will aliont Mights, Liberties, Fran
Chines, Privileges and immunities, of v.hnt
avail are any, or all of thc»e together, if out
peisoiu cau,, at ii»v sole wilt and Cum in and of
i fl>iy ir.an, or set of men, be Seised on, throw?
into p: isnn, ami there kept during the plea
sure ot’ that mao, or set of ;nen i If even
one ot you be >liahi<* at any time to be seal
te jail without trial, and without oath nij.de
against you. and tnereto he detained as long
it pleases 'lie parties sending you there
(perhaps to the end >f your life) without
any court to appeal to, without any means
•>t redress; if this be tn** case. shall we still
boast ct the laws and liberties ot Isagland ?
Volumes have been written by Foreigners as
'"ell as by our own countrymen in praise of
that put t of our law, which, in so admirable
a manner, provides for our personal safety
againstany attacks of men in power. This
has. indeed, been, in all ages, the pride of cur
country ; an 1 it i» the maintenance of this
principle which enabled ns to escape that
bondage, in which all the States and King,
tlom. in Kuruj'.i* were enthralled bv alian*
doning and yielding it up j and, we may be
assured, that if we now abandon it, the
bright, day . or I'.ngland’s glory will set in the
night ot her disgrace.
But I would lain believe that such is not
to be our late. Our Forefathers made
stern grim^visaged Prerogative hide bis
head: they broke in pieces h.s sharp and
massy sword. Anil shall we, their Sons, be
afraid to enter the lists with undefined Pri
vilege, assuming the powers of IVeroga
five ?
I sh--H be told, perhaps, that there is not
much danger vi ibis power bring very fre
ijuciitlv exercised. I he same apology mav
be made for tf>3 exercise of any power \vhat„
ever. 1 do not si.pppose that the Gentle
•nen of tin* I{ouseof C nnmons wiil send any
of y on to jail, wlien yoi: do not displease '.hem.
Mr. \ m ice did not move for iho sending of
Mi. Jones to jail, until Mr. Jones displeased
him ; but it is not a very great compliment
to pay any Constitution, to say', that it docs
ink permit a man to be imprisoned, unless he
has dor** something to displease persons in
power. It .mild Ic difficult, I shou’d sup
post. to find any m.m upon earth, however
despotic his disposition, who would not be
cor.'eiited with the power of sending *.o pri
5oo during his pleasure, every one who
should dare to d<> any thing to displease
him Resides, when I am told, that the.a is
1'iile danger that the Gentlemen < f ttie- 11 ,u *
if Commons will often exercise this power,
1 cannot help observing, that, then gh the
examples may be few, their effect will, na
turally, be great and genera!. At this mo.
men ,’t is true, we see but one man actually
n jail fc>* displeasing those gentlemen, but
e fate of this one man (as is ihc efF *ct of
ail punishments) will deter others from cx
pressing their opinions cf the conduct oi" those
who have the power to punish him. And
moreover, it is in the nature if all power,
aiul especially of assumed and undefined
power, to increase as if advances i j age; and
as Magna Charta and the law o: the Laud
have not been sufficient to protect Mr. Jones ;
ns we have seen him sent to jail for having
described the conduct of one* of the members
-s an outrage upon public feeling, what se
curity have we unless this power of impri
sonment be given up, that we shall not see
other men sem to jailjfor stating their opini
ons of Rotten Boroughs, respecting Placemen
and Pensioners sitting in the House ; or, in
short, for making any declaration giving any
opinion, stating any fact, betraying any fee
".?» whether by .citing. by word of mouth
or b\ gesture, which av displease any of
the Gentlemen assembled in St. Stephen’s j
Chapel
d hen again, a* to the kind of punishment,1
why* siiould they stop a1 sending persons to
ail* If they can Send whom they please to |
jail ; if they can Kc ep .hi persons, so sent, I
in jail as long as they please ; if they can
set iht:r prismicra free a. the end of the first
hour, or keep them confined for seven years ;
if. in shun, their absolute wid is to have
the force of law, what security can you have, ;
that they will stop at imprisonment i If they J
have the absolute power of imprisoning 6c re
leasing, why may they not send their pri- !
soners to York jail, as we'd as to a jailin'
London? Why not confine men in solitary !
cells, or load them with chains and bolts'? j
They have not gone these lengths yet ; but I
what is there to restrain them, if they are
to be soie judges of the extent of their own !
powers, and if they are to exercise those
powers without any control, and without
leaving the parties, whom they cnoose to 1
punish, any made of appeal, any means of j
redress ?
That a power, snch as this, should exist J
in any country, it is lamentable to ne ot»_ j
iiged to believe ; but, that it should be suf_ i
fered to exist, and that its existence should
be openly and even boastfully avowed, in a
country, whofe chief glory has Deer, its tree
constitution of government, is something too
monstrous to lie believed, it the proof were
not befme our eyes. Ilad the least doubt
hung upon my mind of the illegality of the
proceedings in the present case, it would
have been altogether removed by the an
swers given to the references made by me
to the Great Luminaries of our Law, unit
to the lav/s themselves. The arguinent, by
which I endeavored to convince the gentle
men of the House of commons, that their
acts, in tliscase of Mr. Jones, weie illegal,
1 shall now lay before you, in a mine full and
connected way, than it could possibly be
done by the Parliamentary Reporter.**; and,
in doing ibis, I shall do all that row re
mains jn my power towards the correction
of this, as 1 deem it a most enormous abuse
of power, and most dangerous of all tn
croachments upon the rights and liberties of
Englishmen.
I remain,
