RICHMOND, NOVEMBER 6 1810
THE CRISIS.
No. II.
It is done-the die is cast. The Presi
Bent of the Uoited States, with that de'er
mined spirit; whirl* becomes the Friend of
Ihe Laws and the Chiet,Magistrate of a Re_
public, has obeyed the lawsot his Country;
a ;d the PoclaraatiotV, which . announces the
Revocation of the French Decrees, is how
before the P« ople. His sense of duty has
proved paramount to every other consider.
ration-and neither clamor nor abuse has
swerved him from his obedience to the will
of his country. . »
As usual, the “ British party in this c<>ua
try.” have not been sparing of exertions to
serve the cause of Great Britain. What
artifices have not been used in disguise the
truth—-tncl to inspire deception and dis
may into the mind of the President ? For
*4 weeks, have the federal presses inces
toantiy teemed with every species of clamor
and mist ^presentation. - Atone time, they
!)avr reminded the president of-the perfidy
of France -at another, of the sequestra
tion of our vessels. At other moments, they
have warned him of the weight of his res
Sensibility, and threatened him with the
loss of his populari y. Sometimes they have
affectedly advised him to wait until the
Representatives of the People coiiid as.
eenible-and then, more forgetful of the
Juurposes they had in view, than of ,their
Unconquerable resentments, they have at
Sected to insult Imn with the grossest insi
nuations j that he would certainly shrink
back tr< m the task which was assigned
him, and that he. would not dare to issue ins \
proclamation, untii the meeting of Congress, i
Yet, hew unavailing are all tile artifiresof,
all hisenemies! The case was .too clear
to be pervertkd ; ai.d the mind of the Presi.
dent was of too firm a tex'ure, to be bent,
like an osier, from His duties.
i ne tain, was, indeed, arduous enough to,
have discouraged men of a frir less obsequious ,
devotion to their wishes, than are th»“ Bri_!
tish Party In this country.*’ Who can ex"
tinguish the light of the Sun? or who that
lias ever taken a calm and impartial view I
r of the subjec t, could have mistaken the du, .
ties of the executive, on this occasion i The
law was imperative and clear—the fac's,
■within the purview of the law, have really
transpired, The law requires, that either
of the belligerents should " so revoke or mo
dify her edicts, as that they shall cease to
violate the rleutral commerce of the United
States.’ The fact is, that France has so,
revoked, every edict of her’^. which comes I
up to this description. Where then is
the doubt, that the president of the United i
States was bound by the laws of his coun
try. to issuv his proclamation l Nay, that
lie w >uld have been guilty of the basest in
fringement of them, if lie had not issued
that proclamation?
The law has now spoken——it may re
ceive the obedience of the Constituted pow
era, but it will not Command the acquies.
cence of the B. Party They will cnange
their battery—hose vpry arguments, which
were so ineffectually addressed to the pas.
fdons of the President, will now be employ
ed to sow dissatisfaction and murmurs a
mong the Profile-Hut we will not shrink
from the enquiry. With that proud con ft,
deuce, which becomes the conviction of
tru’h, let Ui meet them before that illusiri.
ous tribunal, and briefly review the objecti
ons which they have urged.
IVhat are 'hey ?
1st They ted us, that “ the French de.
crees are not revoked—for that no confi.
dence is to be put in thfe word of France.**
Mow ridiculous is this objection 1 It is
Congress, and not the President, who has
Incurred the sin of credulity, ffnve they
not declared that such a revocation was
Sufficient ? And has not the assurance of
M. Champagny Corresponded with the strict
lefter of the I w f Besides, is France to he
denied the respect which is due to all civi.
f'/'Ccl nations ? I *ic whota of K^iropc erf,
.if engag' Uici! bctv.jsc every part of
*ft has entered Into treaties with her; G. i
Britain herself has taken 'he benefit of the !
maxim—hqw. often have her minivers ne
gociated with France • Is not McKenzie,
at this moment, adjusting the terms of an
exchange of prisoners ? And with what sort
of grace, can we ourselves except to the
practice of the world — wk, who have en
tered into so many Conventions with her—
we. wfto have been in the daily habit of ne.
gocl avion f And with what fieculiar grace
can.these gentlemen refuse to accept the
worn ol M. Chanipagnv-they, who were
so solicitous to take the word of Mr. Ers
kine upon trust, and to praise his arrange
mentto the very skies ? Are wc to be told,
that the word of a foreign minister amongst
us, is to hare more virtue in it, than he so
lemn assurances of a minister, who acts un
der the immediate eye of his sovereign *—
Yet, Mr. Etskine’s promise was not only li
able to be broken, but to be disavowed—,
whereas, the word of M. Champagny may
be broken, but cannot be disavowed. Sure
ly, therefore, the chances are against the
Federal policy.
But, 11 Id. they tell us, “ that our ships
have been seized in French ports_That
these acts were a violation ot newral com i
merce —how .hen could the. President is
sue his Proclamation, until the sequestered
property had been restored to us i"
This will no doubt be the git of the fe.
deral clamor on this occasion-the strong
ground on which they will principally rely.
For what have the federal prims declared
with .such unblushing pertinacity f
“ Not a word then, (says the Uni*ed
States’Gazette, Mr. Bond’s paper,) not a
word, it seems, is to be said to France about
a restoration of the many millions of Ameri
can pioperty of which we have been plun.
tiered, in shameless violation of an existing
treaty,” (where is it t It died 15 months
ago.) •* nor any security demanded against
a repetition of the outrage.”
Have we no cause of complaint against
FrvnCt; (says the ^orofaercial Advertiser
ot N \.) besides her Berlin and Milan de
c.rees i Has she not, in violai it rsof our r.eu.
tral rights, in violation ot evety principle
which is held sacted by the civilized wot d,
sequestered, without even t!u» pretext of
having transgressed an edict, nanv millions
of our property ancl imprisoned many hun
dreds of our seamen ? „ Must we then say,
that France complies with nur law, by siiii*
ply repealing her two decrees ?”
1 he «»It'x.iiidrift. Daily Gazette asserts,
tliat yhe President-** dare not do it,” until our
property is restored
But it these Wiseacres had read the Law
on which they were commenting, they m gin
perchance have avoided one mis tike into
which .hey have fallen The Law employs
the •«im “ Edicts." and requires that “they
shall cea.se to violate the commerce of the
U S Now, will these interpieters tell us,
that an ac' of sequestration is the same as
an Edict ? Or, that the sequestrations, which
were made five months ago, will affect anv
other vessels in futuro-in the words of
the law, that they ** shall violate our com
merce ?”
But let us nor avail ourselves of the blun
ders of our antagonists ; let us put the ques
tion tor them as they ought to have put it,
*• Ought no.-the President to have insisted
upon the relocation of the Rambooillet De
cree. bv which our vessels were sequester
ed ? Surely not. The law directs him to
make no such requisition — ■ its terms are
** neutral commerce.” But there is a very
plain distinction between neutral national
rig.its— 1. he sequestration of our vessels
was rather a transgression oh cur national
than our neutral rights—Besides, it is clear
that even if the R: Decree had been orjei
nally an infringement bn our neutral rights,
i- was a municipal law, and as such, lost the
character of an outrage, from the very |
moment when we had a notice of its exis
tence—With what truth then can it be Said,
that it will violate neutral commerce i
r. IV. But we shall bo toltl •* that Ci. B. has'
given us assurances not less pointed than
those of France-that the former has re
▼»>ked hei Oidcrs, as well as the latter her
Decrees—and that therefore the ProclaJ
mation ought not.to have issued, or that it
ought to have embraced both ” Indeed »_i
And will any man seriously believe, that :
the^e cases are the same t
* lie pieuge or y ranee is certain and spe_
cifi' 'hat ot G. li. is general, and wrapt
up in all the mazes o> diplomatic confusion.
France says, “ 1 revoke such and such de
crre: on soch a day-it being understood,
that it G. B. does not rescind her orders, you
wdl legist hem in conformity with a parti
cular Act of Congress” G B. says, •• I
will relinquish my ayatrm-it France’does
repeal her decrees, and if neutral commerce
shall be brought hack to the same footing,
on which it stood, prevuusly to their pro'
m jlgai ion. 1 he act ot F'rance is complete
in itaelf-that of G. B is nothing; it is
dependent on some after act, which or course
does not now exist, and may never t ike
place, and if it does take place, will not
probably corhe up to our just demands.——
For, as we have already said, there are not
less than two important ambiguities in Lord
Wellesley’s letter. Ho does not inform us,
Ftr$t, whether under the sort of pledge
set forth in his letter, the British govern
ment will revoke their blockade of Mav
1806. y'
And Second’y, what is their precise mean
ing in requiring, as a preliminary, the res .
tovation of the commerce of neutrals to that
condition in which it stood. Jirrvioualv to the
promulgation of the Berlin U cree '
Until these doubts are cleared up, how
can it be said, that the Marquis h*i9 even
given us satisfactory assurances that tie
would hereafter revoke the Orders in Coun
cil, which violate our neutral commerce t
Absurd’—How futile are aLl. thesk ob
jections *
But c*;n tno hetnquia h'd, they will ar?ile ttil/.”
. And how will thev argue ? The Foes of die
I reclamation will fly to the usual field of mis
representation. Abuse will supply theplaco
of Argument. We shall hear the old cry-of
French Influence, in all its Notes and Va
riations.^ Mr. M idi3on will bedra.wn as the
slave ot France, the co-adjutor of Bonaparte,
the enemy of his country. In vain has he
faithfully obeyed her law ; in vain has he
waited until the 1st of Nov. without atlow
ingom? day of (trace to France ; in vain ha3
he made an arrangement with Mt\ F.rs
kine, without incurring the charge ot a Bri.
ttsh Partizun-In vain has he a political
character, like Jefferson's, to maintain, with
out one vicious spot to stain its snows—yet
fact, analogy, and law will all be forgotten,
lne phantom of French Influence will once I
more be conjured up-and on obedience to
the /-aw will be stigmatised with the name
of aubniianon to France. In vain—the peo
ple. at least, will do justice to the magistrate,
wito oocycii ihc uiw.
But the subject is act near exhausted—.
the Crisis before us presents itself in various
o*her lights—which we shall hereafter sepa
rateiy examine.
We shall shew, what are the points which
we have a right to ask of G. B
We shall shew, that the terms of Lord
Wellesley's letter are discouraging; and
that she has no serious intention of granting
ail that we have a right to demand
We shall shew, m case she does not
cease to violate our neutral commerce what
a»e the steps which Congress is able and is
bound to take.
WV shall, finally, shew, what efFec’s are
likely to spring from these measures upon
dte British cabinet, in the pre-ent and pro.
Habable state of the Commerce of the World.

in regard to our vessels on thr high seas, it is im
