LEGISLATURE OF MASSACHUSETTS
REPORT ON OUR FOREIGN RE
LATIONS.
The committee of both Houses, appointed to
consider and report on the expediency of
expressing the sense of the Legislature on
the present alarming state of our Foreign
Relations, nnd oh the causes which have
produced it; and whether any, and if auv,
what measures may be adopted to prevent
the evils of impending War—have atten
Tied to the duties’ of their appointment, Si
■find on examination,
THAT' by the message of the Presid- nt
of the U. States to Congress, at the opening
of the present session, and the documents
therewith transmitted, it appears that a
Minister deputed by the government of G.
Britain, to this country, with lull powers to
negociate '•"d conclude an accommodation
T>f all r ..oversies subsisting between the
two nations, after being accredited and ha
ving entered upon the object of his mission
was suddenly informed by the American
Minister, that no further communication
would he received foom him, inconsequence
of an alledged offence in the language used
in some part of his correspondence This
event, viewed in connection with ti>e resolu
tions of Congress, and the resentment dis
covered, and measures proposed liy the
friends of the administration, have materi
ally changed the posture of our relations
with Great Britain, since the last meeting
of this Legislature, and in lieu of the pros°
pect of peace and amity, which w e then
hailed as so auspicious to our national pros
perity, we discein a policy, whose tendency
is to produce an open rupture with that na
tion. A war with Great Britain, in the
present state of Europe, and under the ex I
isting circumstances «f our country, would
be in the estimation of your committee, the
greatest calamity that could befall the Uni
ted States, short of the loss of their liberties
nnd independence, and would in itscoi-se
quences, endanger these blessings. A con
viction of this truth would justify any mem.
her of the confederacy, by whom it should
be felt, in the expression of its disapprobu
tion and its fears, even if no measures were
adopted by other States, calculated to sup
pore me administration m ns hostile atti
tude. But as several of tlie state legislatures,
partaking of the sensibility of the national
executive, have approved of the rejection
ot the British minister, in a tone which may
be deemed to disclose a spirit ripe for open
hostility with his national is in our opinion the
duty of this legislature to attempt to allay
these hostile propensities, and if possible, to
prevent a i aim,us and unnecessary war, by
such an exposition of their sentiments upon
the present crisis as may demonstrate the
extreme reluctance, with which the people
of this commonwealth would find themselves
compelled to engage in such a war.
Aware of the danger and inconvenience
of collisions between the measures of the na -
ticnal and state governments, and persuaded
that harmony and mutual confidence consti
tute the basis of the power of confederated
states, your committee have examined the
documents accompanying the President’s
message, with a sincere disposition to dis
cover a sufficient justification for the rup
turc of a negotiation so deeply affecting me
interests of the nation. The cause ailed
ged is, that the British minister in his cor
respnndence. persisted in using terms which
implied that the American government had
knowledge of the fact, that Mr. Erskine
had not authority to conclude the arrange
ment made by him in behal/ of his govern
ment. after such knowledge had been expli
citly disavowed by the American executive.
It is not pretended that this is expressly as.
serted by the British minister to be a fact._
Your committee are unable todiscern either
the assertion or the insinuation of this as
fact ; nor can they perceive in any part of
the correspondence of the British minister,
* expressions of disrespect or distrust towards
the government, much less the offensive
imputation of falsehood. They profess not
to determine whether the style of ihe Ame
rican secretary, or that of the British min
ister was most conciliatory and conformable
to diplomatic usage. But they are utterly
at a loss to discover open or covert insult,
or any insinuations, which according to the'
arbitrary rules of honour would justify the
abrupt termination of a conference between
high minded individuals, desirous of arnica*
bly adjusting a private controversy.
This coaclu'-Mn, resulting from a careful
examination of the public documents, be
comes irresistible in the minds of your com
mittee, from the consideration that the im
puted offence, not only is not specified with
precision by the American Secretary, but is
among the advocates of administration, both
in and out of Congress, assigned to different
letters; to different expression* in the same
letter, and to the entire correspondence on
the part of the British minister, agreeably
to their own discordant constructions, and to
tne glosses ami comments suggested by their
various imaginations ft: inodes of reas mine.
If, however, the British minister had, eir.ter
through accident or design, permitted him
self to use equivocal expressions which in
ordinary times might justify this repulse by
a proud monarch prepared for o-c-.n hostili
ties, and glad of a pretext f..r war and con
quest; yet at thisieraof political convulsion,
when die tempest of war has swept every
Republic but ours from its base ; and when
questions of diplomatic ceremonial & usage,
even at the most jealous courts, are forgotten
amid the more weighty questions of national
wrtety and existence ; it is not conceived
that the national honour of our remote anti
pacific Republic would for the use of such
doubtful words, without even demmdingan
explanation require the dismissal of an am
bassador of peace from ont of the bellige
rent powers, especially when the policy of
the administration had dictated so long and
patient a forbearance under gross and coa.
tinned outrages from the other.
This ac» of the government, so inauspici
ous to the future peace of the country, as
sumes a more alarming aspect when viewed
in connection with preceding circumstances
and transactions. The failure, on points
doubtful or unimportant, of the mission of
Mr. Ruse, who was specially empowered
to make honorable reparation for the un
ao'horiz'd imgre.ssion of an individual ; the
ungracious terms in Which the satisfaction,
subsequently offered by Mr.Ersk.ee, wa*
accepted, naturally tend to exci:e tears in
regard U the ultimate views of the adminis
tration, and to discourage all further at
tempts at amicable mgneiation. Nor art

| As the miseries of such a war would be
incurred without adequate motives, they
! must be sustained without a possible chance
! of indemnity. On the ocean Britain is at
present invulnerable. It is only upon the
side of Canada that the American arms could
come into actual collision with her dominions,
and if the chances of war, after a profusion
of blood and treasure, should enable the U
nited States to add to their territory, alrea
dy too extensive, this province of French
men ; what would be the value of the acqui
sition ? And for whom would it be acquired f
I o hold it ns a colony would he inconsistent
with the genius of our institutions. Toad^pt
it as a free and independent state would be
equally repugnant to the habits and wishes
ol that people. Under what pretext could
we retain this ancient and favorite appen
dage to France,claiming it as her legitimate
estate, with the voices of a great majority of
its inhabitants to second her pretensions f
Ir is moraliv certain, that Canada, conquer
ed by the United States, would, under the
patronage of France, be come a northern hive
pouring forth successive swarms of Goth*
and Vandals, which, in alliance with savage
tribes would encompatM the union with a
belt ; a favorite project of the ancient mo-,
|
pondcnce with France by our resident mi*
nisier. or the nature of our neg<*ciations
with that power, we can form but an itn
perlect opinion, in consequence of the mu
tilated state in which it has been presented
for public inspection, hut from such small
portions of it as have been published or re
vealed, from the insolent and dictatorial
letters of the French minister, published
in the face of all Europe, and the indifier
ence or patience with which they have been
received, and from the approbation expres
sed by France uf our late restrictive mea
sure, we are compelled to fear, that neither
the honor nor interests ot the country have
been guarded and maintained with the spi
fit and digniry becoming an independent na
tion. The importance of these repulsive
measures is iucteased by the deplorable
state of‘.he public treasury. From the re
ports of the Sectctary of the treasury it is
apparent, that the nett revenue of the Unit
ed States, during the year 1807, was six
teen millions fifty nin. dollars. That during
the year 1309, under the first operation of
the embargo, the same revenue was only
ten millions three hundred thirty twodol
lats. That during the year 1809, under the
further operation of the same system, it
was reduced to six millions and an half dol
lars, bo tjiat the difference of the amount of i
revenue between the years 1807 and 1&09,
is nine millions, and an half of dollars. It is
also stated in the last report from that de
partment, that the expences of the govern
ment for the last year, exclusive of pay
ments on account of the principal of the;
public debt, have exceeded the actual re
ccipts into the treasury nearly thirteen him
tired thousand dollars, which deficiency has
been paid out of the surplus of preceding
years.
it is further stated, that the expence of
government upon a peace establishment for
the year 1811, will be about ten millions of
dollars, and eight millions after that year;
and that a loan of four millions has already
become necessary. In the report of the
same department for the year 1806, it was
stated, tiiat after defraying all the expen
cts of government, an annual surplus of five
and an half millions of dollars would remain
But according to the last statement, there
will be a deficiency for »he present tear of
four millions, making against the United
States an annual difference, as before, of nine
millions and an half. But when, with these
statements are taken into view, the still
progressive diminution and probable anni
hijation of revenue from commerce in the
event of war, and the additional and in
calculable expences, which must be render
ed necessary in its prosecution—youc com
mittce can perceive no means of supplying
this miserable deficiency of revenue, but
from direct taxes. The expedient of great
and enormous loans might be a resource for
the first exigencies of the war. But a na
tion entirely deprived of visible and actual
revenue, could support but a doubtful credit,
and the contemplation of a debt constantly
augmenting in an unjust and ruinous contest,
would disgust the patriot and terrify the
contractor. In these circumstances, it is
but too obvious, that the only remain
ing resources of this government would be
either forced contributions or oppressive
taxes upon the yeomanry. While such have
been the pernicious effects of the measures
of the administration upm ourselves, your
committer would willingly spare themselves
the humiliating confession, that bv the bel
ligerent nations they are regarded as par
tial and harmless. So far have they been
from disposing France to any relaxation of
the imperial decrees, that they have been
the subject of praise and approbation with
her Emperor, whose only dissatisfaction has
been manifested at their temporary suspen
si on. ByG reat Britain they have beenro
garded with indifference, though in their
operation they have secured to her the car
riage of our produce and the monopoly of
the commerce of the world. Her manufac
tures have not decreased, nor ha3 her re
venue or power been in any visible degree
impaired. While an intercourse with the
United States has ever been deemed by that
nation of secondary . importance, eti compa
rison with the great objects for which she
is contending, its advantages have never
been disregarded or undervalued by her
statesmen. It remained for our national
councils to reveal the fatal secret, that the
commerce of these states was of lessimpor
tance to her prosperity and greatness, than
her own politicians had predicted—That
our country has sustained injuries from the
operation of the British orders and from the
outrages of her officers, for which it is enti
tled to satisfaction, is not to be denied. It
ought not, however, to be forgotten, that
during the entire period of these commetci
ftl restrictions, France, with whose consent
they were imposed and continued, hasseiz
ed and sequestered nearly all the American
property which has fallen within her grasp;
while Britain, against whom alone they
could be expected to operate, has respected
our flag, convoyed our ships and admitted
us to a free anti lucrative commerce with e
very part of her dominions.
With this view of an empty treasury and
an abandoned commerce, it is impossible to
overlook the defenceless state of the cotin.
try, and specially of the entire sea-board of
the United States—while the American flag
would be driven from the ocean, our sea
ports would be at the mercy of the most for
midable navy that ev r existed, and before
our fortifications or armies could be in u si
tuation to sustain the first assaults of the
enemy, our cities might be buried in ruins,
and our sea-coast exposed to inconceivable
distress.
narchy, which probably has never been re
linquished. Your committee however, go
not disguise their belief, that neither an ex
hausted treasury, nor a ruined commerce,
nor a depopulated sea coast, nor the mise
ries of a war, without a possibility of success
or definition of object, would constitute the
principal disasters of a rupture with Great
Britain.—The spirit and resources of the
country, when loused aiul collected, are un
der blessing of Providence, sufficient for its
defence, and would in time be applied to this
object. But the consummation of the public
calamities would be found in an nllianc< with
that desolating fic gigantic despotism, which
has crushed th ? governments, and subverted
the liberties of Europe ; and whose genius
is not more hostile loevqry republican insti
tution, than to the spirit of commerce, by
which such institutions are cherished and
preserved.—Nothing but a mysterious infa
tuation can induce an administration to seek
an alliance with a government, vvho.-.e hosti
lity to the United Stales has been manifest
ed, not merely in misconstructions of doubt
ful points of national law, and in the unguard
ed expressions of its public ministers, but in
an open violation of treaties and contempt
i of neutral rights; not merely in illegal ciip
turesxatul casual injuries for which repara
tion lias been offered, but in an unvaried se
ries of insults and aggressions, of sequestra
tiofts of property upon land, aiul of plunder
ingand burning of ourships upon the ocean ;
not merely in the impressment »»f seamen,
claimed as her own subjects, hut in the cap
tivity and confinement in dungeons of ou» 1
acknowledged citizens wi .hout colour of pre
tence. The calamities of such a war would
be indeed aggravated by the dangers and in
tamy of such an alliance ; and our success,
if success could reasonably he expected,
would hasten thept:;ud in which we should
find ourselves compelled without anv inter
vening barrier, to g> apple on our own soil
w tth an enemy who has long made v.-.r upon
us in every possible form but that of actual
invasion; and who reserves his most faith
ful allies for his most exemplary victims In
conclusion, your committee are persuaded
that no honorable means should lie left un
attempted to institute and pursue a negoci
ation w ith Gi cat Britain for the accommoda
tion of differences;, and that the w bole system
of commercial restrictions should be aban
doned, before the naturn! sources of c.-ur re
venue are entirely exhausted, and the Course
of trade so diverted by new habits, and so
concealed by evasions as to produce perma
nent and irretrievable ruin. And they ac
cordingly recommend the following resolu
tions, which are submitted.
ELIJAH BRIGHAM, per order.
Jtexolvea, I hat it is our anxious wish, that
some means maybe devised, consistent with
the honour of the United States, to resume
the negociations between the two countries,
for obtaining reparation of real injuries, and
to establish peace and unity, so essential
to the interest and happiness of both, upon
a permanent basis.
Jietolved, rl hat acts of embargoes and
non ..intercourse, and the whole system of
commercial restraints adopted and contem_
plated by the late and present administra..
tion, are impediments to a restoration, of our
amicable relations with Great Britain, and
have proved in the highest degree perjiicL
ous to the best interests of this country, and
especially of this commercial state. That
all the predictions of their opponents have
been verified—That by the operation of these
acts, the public Treasury has been drained
and brought to the verge of bankruptcy ;
; that the commerce of the country has been
I palsied, and in a great measure irrecoverably
! destroyed ; that the whole of this impotent
j system has become a subject of derision with
those it was intended to coerce, and that its
mischiefs have recoiled upon our own coun
try.
Hcaolved, That the temporary suspension
of these acts aflVded demonstration of the
means of theUn ed States to pursue a highly
lucrative commerce, even under existing
embarrassments, and an opportunity which
*-vas gladly embraced by our mercantile citi
sens. 1 hat during this interval, all our
shipping was employed, and that ournavigi
tion experienced civility and protection from
the British entizers, whilst it has been con
-tantlv annoyed by the depredations ofFrancc
and her allies.
h’cftolvcd, That all measures calculated
to produce iiiinecessary hostility with Great
Britain, a. al1 times impolitic and contrary to
the true interests of this nation, hi o at the
present crisis peculuflv unfortunate and

Great Britain, having full powers to tiego

adjustment of the controversies unhappily
snhsis'ing between the United States and
that nation, after being duly accredited by
the executive of the United States, has been
suspended from the exercise of his functions,
lor some expressions contained inhiscorres
pondence with the government of the United
States, which are alledged to be derogatory
to the honour and veracity of the Executive
Government And the Legislatures of some j
ot our sister states having declared their as- I
sent to the construction given to the said J
correspondence, and their approbation ofthe
dismissal ot the said British minister—And
the Legislature of Massachusetts having ex
amined the said correspondence, and being
unable to discern in it any passages or words
which, in their judgment, can be fairly con-;
struecl to convey disrespectful and offensive
imputations—And whereas the doings of the
slid Legislatures, combined with the reso
lutions of Congress, have a tendency to wL
den the breach already existing, and to re
move still farther the prospect of accommo
dation.—And whereas this Legislature, while
they are always ready, at whatever hazard,
to embark in a just and necessary war, and
to support the National Government with
the whole force and resources of the state,
are nevertheless persuaded, that no just
cause exists for a rupture with Great Britain,
and that its effects, detrimental to both na
tions, would tend to the impoverishment of
this commonwealth, to the destruction of its
commerce, and to the aggrandizement of a
power, already formidable to the liberties of
mankind—And whereas we deem it a dutv
to use all the means m our power to allay the
existing irritations, and prepare the way for
the restoration of a friendly intercourse be
tween two nations, whose interests are in ma
ny points essentially united—
1 her ef ore Resolved,
Fhat the Legislature of Massachusetts is
affected with sincere and profound regret at
the late unexpected and sudden termination
of the correspondence between the American
Secretary of State and Francis James Jack
son, his Britannic Majesty’s Minister, for
which they can perceive no just or adequate
cause.
ought to be discountenanced by all constnu
tion.il means. That our country is defence
less and our Treasury exhausted—That to
fortify one and replenish the other, will re
quire time, economy, and the advantages
of renewed commerce—That on the contra
ry, Great Britain is inaccessible and invul
nerable, except in one of its provinces, the
conquest of which, if it could be effected,
would prove a curse and X scourge to our
selves and our posterity.
Hexolved. That a war with Great Britain
would inevitably lead to an alliance with
France, a;-.d thus furnish to her ambition the
means and the pretexts for organizing with
in the United States the tr.neliftls and in
struments for schemes of future domination.
These materials unhappily almond in the
northern fronti ;r, and in our newly acquired
territory in the south. From such a contest,
• he United States, if unsuccessful, would be
compelled to retire with a disgraceful sur
render of the objects of the war, or if hoc
cessful, by contributing to the downfall of
Britain, would be left alone to encounter a
power, who, unopposed by the navy of her
present enemy, would call in requisition all
the resources and energies of our solitary
Republic, to defend, in doubtful conllict.our
liberties upon our own shores.
