[tAi> be/ore fakliahkht.J
Despatch from Mr. Secretary Canning to the
bon. D. M. Erskine, dated Foreign Office. Jan.
23,1809.
SIR,
Your Despatches from No. 46 to 49, both
inclusive, have been received, and Uid before the
king. The must serious attention of his mnjes*
ty’s government has been directed to the impor
tant matter, treated in those despatches ; and es
pecially to those confidential communications,
which you represent yourself to have received
irom different individuals of influence in the
/kipenoan government, respecting the polit
ical relations of Great Britain and the United
States. . ,{
It must be confessed, that the conciliatoi y dis
position, which these individuals describe to you
•a existing an the part of the American adminis
tration, does not'sppcat’ either iti the acts of the
government or in the debates of congress—But
the intimations, which have been given to you of
the difference between the personal sentiments
of Mr. Jefferson and those of his probable suc
eessor in the presidency, with respect Co this
country, knd the hopes, which you have been
led to entertain, that the beginning of the new
presidency may be favorable to a change of
policy in America, if opportunity and encou
ragement for such s change shall be afforded by
this country, have induced his majesty's govern
kneut to review and consider the most important
points of disagreement between the two govern
ments » and I have received his majesty’s com
mand to send you such instructions on those sub
jects, as must, if the government of the U. States
be beriously disposed to accommodation, lead
to their immediate and satisfactory adjustment.
• The first of these points is the affair of the
Chesapeake. Nothing prevented an amicable
conclusion of this discussion by Mr. Rose, except
the Vefusal of the American Government to with
draw the proclamation issued on the 2d July,
1807, by which the ships of war of Great Britain
were interdicted from the harbors of the U S.
while those of France continued to be allowed a
free resort to them.
’ The construction given by Mr. Madison to the
resolution of the Committee, to whom the con
sideration of the foreign relations of the U. States
was referred at the opening of the present ses
sion of congress, undoubtedly goes a considerable
way to remove the objection to which the pro
clamation was liable.
- ot the exclusion ol the ships of war or both
'Belligerents from the ports of a neutral state, nei
ther Belligerent lias a right to complain. The
particularity of (hat regulation alone gave to it a
Character of hostility.’
If therefore, the ships of war of France shall
?n pointof fact hare been excluded lrom the port*
®f the U. States, and such ships of that descrip
tion iw were in thoie ports at the time of passing
the resolution, slnUkhavc been warned to depart,
hi* majesty would no .longer insist upon the for
mal fecal of the proclamation as a preliminary to
the adjustment of the differences arising from
the afiair of the Chesapeake. It is still necessa
ry, however, either that the proclamation rhould
be withdrawn, or its operation formally declared
to be at an end ; but it will be sufficient if that,
withdraw*', or declaration ia recorded (according
to tlie arrangement which Mr. Madison profes
sed htrtself ready to adopt) iti the same instru
ment, or at the same time, with the terms of re
paration which his majesty is now willing to of
• The terms of reparation which Mr. Rose
Was authorised to propose, were in substance :
1st. A formal d.savowal by his majesty of the
act of Admiral Berkley :
2d. The restoration of the men forcibly taken
from on board the Chesapeake, reserving to his '
majesty the right ol claiming in a regular way.
from the American government the discharge of j
such of them as might prove upon investi-:
cation to be either natural born subjects of
bis majesty, or deserters from his majesty’s ser
vice r
' 3d. A pecuniary provision suitable to their res* ,
.pective situations in life, for the widows or 01- I
fdians of such men (not being natural born sub- !
jects of his majesty, nor deserters from kis ina- I
lesty’s service) as m*y have been unfortunately 1
lulled on board the Chesapeake.
In return for these concessions, his majesty re
quired r •
1st.- A disavowal en the part of the American
government for the detention by Commodore
Barron of desert ers from his majesty’s service—
of Ids denial of having such persons on board of
the ship under his command, and his refusal to
deliver them upon demand -.
> 2d. A like disavowal of die outrages commit
ted on th* persons, or property of his majesty’s
subjects at Norfolk, or elsewhere, in conse
quence of this affair, an engagement was also to
be required, that the American government
Should not in future countenance any of it3 agents,
civil or military, in encouraging desertion from
bis majesty’s uei vice.
The last point being according to the state
ment in your No. 47, to be provided for by a spe
cial Act of Congress, it is not necessary to obtain
any specific engagement or declaration respect
ing it ; and as it is above all things desirable to
simplify as much as possible the conclusion of an
arrangement which ius been so long pending;
as a recurrence to the details of the Cneaapeuke,
of the causes v/nich led to it, and of the discus
sions immediately arising out ot it, might lead to
complicated and fruitless controversy, his majes
ty. on his part, world be contented at present tc
wave any demand for the respective disavowals
on the part of the government of the United
States, that being on the other hand, contented
to receive back the men forcibly taken out ol the
Chesapeake as the single and sufficient act of
reparation.
To vfrnich, however, his majesty would still he
willing to add the provision lor ihc widows and
Orphans of men killed in the action, but as an act
of his majesty’s spontaneous generosity. This
prr mgeincnt, 1 have '-very reason t» believe, botli
from what Mr. Pinkney has stated to me, and
•wli.*t Mr. Rose report# of Mr. Madison’s uno*l
ei*l conversations, would lie satisfactory to the
American government upon this subject. Whe
ther this arrangement shall be iettled by a formal
conversation, or by the exchange of ministerial
notes dated the same day, and reciprocally deliv
ered at the same time, is left to the decision of
you'self and of the American minister.
1 have only to add (though 1 see no ground to
apprehend that such a demand is likely to be
brought forward,) that you arc steadily and per
eirptof.ly to refuse sny demand for any maik of
his majesty’# displeasure to Admiral lit-rkley,
than that which was in the first instance ittaiu
fested, by thr.t officer’s immediate recal.
You are to open the subject of die Chesa
peake separately and distinctly—The manner in
which the proposal for the adjustment of that
difference may be received will be the best test
of the general disposition of the American gov
ernment and will /liiturnlly indicate the funner
MMtrucliofM which 1 shall proceed to Communi
cate to you in another despatch.

LETTER FROM SIR BENJAMIN WEST.
Mtt. OldscmooI,
The following is an extract qf
a letter from Sir Benjamin We at on a sub
ject interesting to the cause of science and
humanity. It earnestly invites exertions
on the part ofthose who delight to encourage
the advancement qf the arts,and the improve
ment of genius——
• “ NstTMAS-srsE**, Nbv. 3, 1809.
** Philadelphia I cannot name without
being interested in all that has a connection
with that city : this, my good sir. alludes to
a young gentleman now studying Painting
Under my direction as a professor of that art
whoqe talents only warn time to mature
them to excellence ; and I am apprehen
sive that his rnedns of support are too slen
der io admit his stay at this seat of arts.
that length of time to effect what 1 could
wish, tts I understand it cannot be tanger
than the beginning of next summer.
Could his friends unite in a way that would
afford him the means of studying here ano
ther season, he would then secure the know
ledge of his profession on that permanent
basis, on which he would be able to build his
future greatness in America—to his honor
and the honor of the country.
“ The young gentleman I allude to is Mr.
SuLLT. I find him every way worthy and
promising. I could not refrain from thus
giving you my sentiments when the success
of Mr. Sully in his profession as a painter,
is so much to be desired.

FOR THE ENQUIRER.
TO THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA.
' No. XII. •
I now come to that part of the report In which
the committee, by making an arbitrary valuation
or appraisement of the articles manufactured, en
deavor to make it appear that the muskets had
cost much, more than I had stated, or that much
more public money had been expended in making
them than ought to have been ; and although
much ingenuity has been displayed in this part of
their report, its want of frankness and total in
correctness shall be exposed.
When a temporary manufactory is to be erect
ed for a temporary purpose, as little expense as
possible should be incurred. Instead of purcha
sing in fee simple, a lease should be made, of a
scite on which to place it; and the cheapest buil
dings, Sic. that car) be made to answer the pur
pose, put tip. And when the whole of the ma
nufactured articles are completed, and the works
discontinued, it would then be proper, and not
till then, to add the expence of the lease, and of
the buildings, apparatus, tools, &c. to the cost of
the materials and labor employed in their manu
facture ; and by dividing that aggregate sum, by
the number of articles made—the cost of each
article might be ascertained.
But in relation to permanent establishments,
the case is widely different. The Virginia Ma
nufactory of Arms, an institution established for
a continual supply of arms for our encreasing mi
lilia, was intended by the patriots who were its
principal founders, to.be of permanent construc
tion, so that it might last for ages, and bp handed
dawn as a valuable boon to posterity—it was
therefore necessary that the most eligible scite
should be selected and purchased for its estab
rudiment, and that the edifices aiid the works,
apparatus, &c. within them, should be built in the
best manner and.of the most durable materials.
When I was invited into the public service, I was
requested by the governor to select for those
works, the most eligible scite, in my judgment,
in Richmond or its vicinity ; and in his letter, of
the 13th February, 1798, which was published in
the Enquirer of the 7th of April last—-he requests
tne to furnish a plan of the works requisite for
the annual manufacture ef four thousand stand of
arms.”
wnen sucn a manutactory ol arms, with all
its machinery, apparatus, &c. is completed,
and a set of tools furnished i'or each artist, to be
employed in the various branches of t)>e work, all
the subsequent expences incurred in the making
of arm*, &c. should be charged to the articles
manufactured ; I mean n ot merely the cost of the
materials, and the execution of the work, but also
the expence of keeping the buildings, machine
ry, tools, &C- in repair, the officers’ salaries, Hiid
every, other charge incurred in making the arms,
Uc. And had this committee have gone to the
books and documents in the Auditor’s office, and
by an examination of them, have ascertained the
amount of money actually expended in the ma
king of arms, and the repair of the works, tools,
officers' salaries, See. anil after deducting the a
rnount of the cumponent parts and materials on
hand, from that sum ; have divided the balance
by the number of arms, &c. made, it would have
enabled them to have stated the true cost of the
arms. But instead of. pursuing this course,
which they must have known was the only cor
rect one, towards ascertaining the actual cost of
the arms ; they reported as follows :
" Your committee deem it a portion of their
duty, to present to the house a3 cir. rect a view of
the coat of arms, manufactured at the public ar
mory, as is in their power. As the data of their cal
culations, they have taken the amount of money
expended in carrying on the operations, deduct
ing three-fourths of the price of tools and imple
mi nts purchased, presuming that one-fourtii at
least ol their value, has been impaired by use.—
from that sum they have deducted the value of
the materials on hartd (including the scrap iron
and steel,) the value of the component parts, and
the real value of arms or what they ought to cost,
which either are inferior in value to muskets, or
less in number. The balance of the sum divided
by the muskets really finished, will Shew the sum
which the muskets cost, presuming the other
arms to cost what they are rfeallj worth s ami it
will moreover shew, by comparing the sum the
muskets are really worth, with such result, the a
mount winch has either been gained or lost by
the institution, since the commencement of the
operations, or it will shew the amount which
each musket h «s cost the common Wealth.
“ The following is the detail and the result:

the sum . . . 150.300 55
“ For which sum 10,95 muskets have been
furnished, which coarthdiuhlic at that estimate,
g 14. 55 cents.” But ischool-boy, who under
stood the arithmetical lule of simple division,
could have shewn the ammittce, that the sum
of g 150,300 55 equally divided among 10.395
muskets, would make t^m amount to fourteen
dollars and forty Jive ccm, and not fourteen dol
lars and fifty Jive cents, e they have reported_
This is a trifle ; but “ s:aws will shew which
way the wind blows.”
Thus did this commute, who were not appoin
ted to set a value on tbe arms made at the manu
factory, but to fiscfrtain whst they had cost, by
an examination of tlie documents by which the
money had been pail, arbitrarily value or ap
praise the rifles, p'stds, swords, kc. much below
what they had in really cost the commonwealth
—in order tlmt the bilance of their cost might
be laid upon the muslets ; evidently with a view
to give the appearanc;, that the muskets had cost
considerably more thsi they really bad, and more
than muskets cost, mule at otb.-r manufactories,
which, in effect, wassettir.g an arbitrary value
upon the muskets :dv.
-o*■v ujuai|irupnciy nave valued
U\e muskets at one dtlUr each, and have thro *vn
Uie balance of their cost upon the rifles, pistols,
swords, &c to makt them appear to have cost
more than they rea.ly had. But such a step
would not have answered the views of the fra.
mers or manufactures of that report : they knew
that the chief purpose for which the armory was
erected, was, the making of that particular spe
cies ol arms, called MUSKETS j and that if they
could cause it to be Relieved that there had been
a defect in the matugement of that institution,
(whether a defect ejisled or not,) they would,
(with the uninfurrbtri) gain much popularity and
perhaps some good offices by the discovery, more
particularly if they could induce the Legislature
and the community to belie* e that public money
had been wasted or improperly expended. In or
der to do this, however, it was necessary to liava
recourse to stratagem, &. a valuation or appraise
ment of the article;, sc as to load the muskets,
(the chief article manufactured,) as much as pos
sible, was the plan adopted. The vouchers by
which the money had been drawn, .would have
proven to them that the casts of the several kinds
of arms as 1 had stated them wa3 correct; of
course to such men, it was better r.ot to apply to
documents from which the truth might be elicit
ed ; and a valuation in the way they have made it,
was belter calculated to promote their views, to
wit: to gain applause by making delusive state
ments, without regarding the injuries which the
public or individuals might sustain thereby. As
to the exist which the committee have fixed on the
muskets, it is indeed preposterous : Every one
knows that the iron, the steel, the wood and oilier
materials, required for makng a musket, amounts
only to a very small portioi of its cost; It jelhe
labor of the artists, the wirkmansh ip, that forms
the greater part of the v&'ue of a musket; and
the committee might have asceitained the cost of
tile workmanship, to a single cent, if they would
have examined only one pSper : I mean one of
the monthly pay-rolls.

its contiguity to the >«ry Hornashing'town of
Lynchburg, where there :aa ready cash market
for not only the produce of the cleared Lnd, but
for the wood which may be taken from that which
is uncleared, each uric producing from 60 to 30
waggon loads, which at present brings 10# 6J.
per load,delivered in town, and will no doubt,
hereafter bring more in proportion to the increase
of inhabitants in the town, and the decrease of
wood in the neighboring country*
The cle .red land contains about 23 acres of
meadow well set With Timothy, and about a like
quantity of upland hus this spring been laid down
in red clover. The improvements are good con
sisting of a two story wooden bouse 36 fret long
and 20 wide, nearly new j a kitchen, smoke house,
barn, stable, garden, orchards, &c. It lies on
both sides the great road leading from Lynch
burg to Ward’s ferry, and will suit either for a
tavern or private residence.
Possession will be given the ensuing fall by
Mr. Benjamin Butterworth, who at present re

saame to any one inclinable to purchase. On re
ceiving a part ol the purchase money in hand, I
