£jctract of e letter from Jlfr. Madison to

Department ck State,
May 2d. ISOS.
•' Since mv last, of which lieutenant I.cuis
was the bearer, 1 have received your seve
Mil letters of 2“th December, 22d January,
13th nod .17th February, with their respcct
t ive incloSures.
“That of the 15th January, from Mr.
Chatupaguy to you, has, ns yisi will see li
the papers herewith sent, pis* Weed all the
sensations here, which the spiiit 2k stile of it
■were calculated io excite in minds alive to
tire interests and honor of the natim To
present to the United Spates the alternative
of bending to the views of Frjmcc against her
enemy, or of incurring a confiscation of all
the property of their citizens carried into the
■French prise courts, implied that they were
susceptible of impressions by which no inde
pendent and honorable na'ipn can lie guided ;
and to prejudge and pronounce for them the
efi-ect which the conduct of another nation
ought to have on their councils and course of
proceeding, had the air at .’cast of an assum
ed authority, noties » irritating to the public
feelings. ' • I
“ In these lights, the President mikes it J
your duty to present to the French govern
ment the contents of Mr. Chnrupagny’s let
ter, taking care, as yonv discretion will
doubtless suggest, that whilst you make that
government sensible of the offensive tone
employed, you leave the way open for friend
ly anil respectful explanations if there ben
disposition to offer them, and for a dccisi .
here on any reply which may be of a differ-.
ei)t character.” s
“ Congress closed their session cii the 25th
ultimo. For a general view of their pro
ceedings. treter to the sevies ot news-papers
heretofore, and now forwarded, anil to other
prints which are added. Among their acts
of chief importance is that which vests in
the Prasidcnt an authority to siupend in
whole or in part the embargo laws.
44 The conditic s on who h the- suspend
ing authority is to be exercised, will on-'
gage your particular attention. They ap
peal equally to the justice and the policy
cf the two great belligerent powers now e
rmilating each other ia violations of both.
The President counts on your best endea
vors no gi ve ’o this appeal all the effect pos
sible with the French government. Mr.
Pinkney will be doing the same with that of
Great-llritain. The relation in which a re
tail of its retaliating decrees, hy either pow -
er, will place the United States to the other
is obvious, and ought to l»e a motive to the
measure, proportioned to the desire Which
has been manifested by each, to produce col
lisions between rhe United States and its ad
versary* and which must be equally felt by
each to avoid one with itself.
“ Should wiser councils or increasing dis
tresses induce Great-Bvitain to invoke her
impolitic orders against neutral commerce,
and thereby prepare the way for a removal
of the embargo, asit applies to her, France
could not persist in the illegal part of her
decrees, if she dues not mcart to force a con
test with the United States. On rhe other
hand, should she set the example of revo
cation, Great-Britain would be obliged, ei
ther by following it, to restore to France the
full heptfft ofneuti'd trade, which she needs ;
or by'perstiv'ering in her obnoxious orders,
after the pretext for them had. ceased, to
render collisions with the United States ine
vitable.
*• Jn every point of view, therefore, it is
s> cleavly the sound policy ol France to re
scind go much at least of Iter decrees as tres
pass on neutral rights, and particularly to-be
the first in taking the retrograde stfcp, that
it cannot be unreasonable to dxpect that it
will be immediately taken.”
“ In whatever uegree the French govern
ment may be led to change its system, you
will lose no time in transmitting the intor
iMation to this department, and to Mr. Pink
ney ; and oy hired conveyances, it necessary.
A correspondent instruction is given to Mr
Pinkney.
“ It is of the greater importance, that you
should receive from each other the earliest
notice, of any relaxations, as each government
j-under a pledge to follow such an example
by the other. And it is not of less importance
that the President or Congress should be ac
quainted with the foots, that the proceedings
here may b" accommodated trt them.
44 That you may know the grounds on
which the British orders of November, have
bee;1 arraigned by tilts government, ! inclose
a copy of the answer to Mr. Erskine’s note
communicating them, a copy of the note be
ing also inclosed.
“ Tiie other documents communicated,
wiil put yo« in full ponesssion of the relations
of the United States with Great Britain, as
resulting from the issue of our general nego
tiations, arid from that of the mission of Mr.
Rose.
This dispatch is forward*d by Mr. Ba
ker, who takes ids passage trom Baltimore,
in x vessel engaged, as was the Osage which
sailed from New-Vork, for the special pur
pose of public and mercantile corresponden
ces with Europe. She will proceed, in the
firpt instance, to L’Orient, where she will

“ Your dispatches l>y liedt. Lewis were
delivered on the 8th inst.
“ It^is regretted that the interval between
his arrival and the date xif ••our letter to Mr.
Champngny, during which,’1 presume, some
verba.’. intercommunication must have taken
place, had produced no indication of a favor
able change in t!:e views of the French go
vernment with respect to its decrees; and
.till more, that instead of an early and fa
vorable answer to your letter, it sh’onla have
been followed by such a decreets is repor
ted to have been issued on the 22d April, at
Bayonne. The decree has not yet reached
the United States, and therefore, its pre
cise import cannot be ascertained.. But if
it should be, as it is represented, a sweeping
stroke at all American vessels on the high
,'cas, it will not only extend our demands of
reparation, but is rendered the more' omi
nous with respect to the temper ar.d Views
ot the emperor towards the U. S. by the date
ot tiie measure.
“ The arrival of Mr. Baker with my let
ter of May 2d, of which a copy is herewith
Sent, will, have enabled you to resume the
subject of the decrees with the fairest op
portunity that could be given to the French
government tor a change of the unjust and
r.r.v.'ijv, Cwuac nuiv.ii ii.ts Linen pursued: anti
1 assure myself that you will not have fail
ed to turn the communications, with which
you are furnished, to the best account. If
France does hot wish to throw the United
Stages into the war against her, ior which it
is impossible to find a rational or plausible
inducement, she ought not to hesitate a mo
ment in revoking at least so much of her de
cues as violate the rights of the sea, and
furnish to her adversary the pretext 1 r his
retaliating measure. It would seem as if
the imperial cabinet had never paid suffici
ent attention to the smallness of the sacri
fice which a repeal of that portion of its sys
tem would involve, if an act of justice is to
be called a sacrifice.
“ I lie information by' the return of the
Osage Irom England is no: more satisfactory
than that from France. Nothing was said
on. the subject -»:f the Chesapeake, nor any
thing done or promised, as to the orders in
council. It is probable that further accounts
from the U. States were waited for and that
the arrival rf the St. Michael will have Jed
to h manifestation of the real views of that
government on those and other subjects. In
the mean time it cannot be doubted, that
hopes were cherished there of some events
in this country favorable to the policy of the
orders, and particularly, that the offensive
language and proceedings of France would
bring on a hostile resitance from the U. S.;
in which case the British government would
be able uynould every thing to its satisfaction,
f here is much reason to believe that if the
British government should not concur in a mu
tual abolition of the orders and of theembar
go.it will result from an unwillingness, to set
an example which might be followed, and
might consequently put an end to the irrita
ting career of her enemy, on which the cal
culation is buiit. Might net use be made of
this view -of the matter in those frank and
friendly conversations which sometimes best
admit topics of a delicate nature, and in
which pride nnd prejudice can he best man
aged without descending from the necessarv
level ? In every view it rs evidently proper
as far as respect to the national honor will
allow, to avoid a stile of pvoccedure which
might co-operate with the policy of the Bri
tish government, by btimulatiug the passions
of the French.”

were momently expected from London. The

belongs to the celebrated Daniel Clarke of
N. Orleans, to which she was ostensibly
bound. K. Kcdne was generally reputed
there the author of the spurious intercepted
letter from Talleyrand to Mr. Ji-Terson. He
was generally detested by the Americans at

“Such is the spirit of the Spanish nation
at this time, that all Europe cannot conquer
her, unless by fraud.”
Captain Reynolds in the schooner Lydia
from Havanna, has favored us with the Au
rora of that city, of the 29th last month. It
is filled with the proceedings of the differ
ent Juntas of Mexico and the adjacent pro
vinces, all breathing the same spirit of loy
alty and affection for the mother 'country.
We-have selected, and a gentleman has po
litely translated the following:
NEW SPAIN.
Guatemala, Aug. 18th, 1808.
On the 14th inst. having assembled in ge
neral Junta at the Royal Palace, his excel
lency the governor, the illustrious bishop, the
honorable judges, and all the officers of go
vernment, civil and military, the dignitaries
of the church, the professors of the royal u
niversity, and the president and consuls of
the chamber of commerce; I the Secretary of
the Junta read to the assembly the confiden
tial dispatches of his exceifency the Vice
Roy of New-Spain, together with the sub
joined Gazette, containing the information
of the renunciation oftheir rights to their roy
al crown, of the king our lord and part of
his royal family. One general seiitimenf ap
peared to pervade the whole Junta, when
they heard this surprising event, and they
proceeded to act with the utmost unanimity.
They reflected minutely upon the series of e
vents, leading to such an extraordinary oc
currence, observing the tenor and the dates
of the document s which purport to lie direct
acts of renunciation of our sovereigns and
royal family in behalf of the emperor of the
French :—and they adverted to the import
of particular phrases in them, perhaps not
expunged in France, because our language
was not fully understood: as for instance1
the following passage-in the act of abdicati
on of Charles the 4th, “ at present the ex
traordinary circumstances in which I find
myself placed, compel me, fee.” and the
following of Ferdinand the 7tli and the Infan
tes: “Surrounded by dangers, they had no
other alternative than tnclioose among many
evils, that which appeared to be the least :
they therefore determined to go to Bay
onne,” 8cc.— All of which, together with the
preceding occurrences, fully shew that this
was a horrible and deep plan, long sine*'
laid by Mm moan perfidious ambition. Thus
in consideration that those pretended acts
of alidication, situated ns the abdicators
were, can neither be considered as free and
voluntary acts, nor can they in any case, ac
cording to the fundamental laws and consti
tution of the monarchy, he valid6r take ef
fect, they unanimously resolved, that they
do not, nor will ever admit those acts as va
lid; but will on the contrary for ever consi
der them as void and mill, both because
they are illegal, and because they have been
obtained by violence, a*appeared ftom the
different papers laying befor them.
farther thev resolved to renew, and they
all renewed the oath of allegiance to our le
gitimate sovereign, and to the constitution
and laws which now rule. And it was final
ly resolved to cullitat? unanimity among the
hi a ght rates, for the preservation of our sa
cred religion, and the maintenance of good
order and public tranquility. And they con
clude by solemnly protesting, that they will
never recognize or submit to any foreign au
thority whatever.
Here tire Junta r’wc, and every member
