Political
TO THE F.DITOIt OF THE AUltOKA.
NEUTRAL COMMERCE.
SIR,
I tinve shewn first. That the only-con
dition upon which France has consented to
revoke her decrees, is. that we shall fulfil
the engagement or promise, which we vo
luotarily, and of our own accord, made in
our law of May 1st, 1810 : and 2ndly That
Britain will not now cruse to violate our
rights, although the pretext, the ulledged
right of retaliation, he tenioved.
1 he next point ol consideration, is what
we should do, in case Britain shall not cease
to violate our rights * But before l enter
into this enquiry, I think it useful to prove
to the public, more particularly than 1 have
yet done, that British ministers, and tluir
advoca es in America, have severally de
dared Hie orders of council to t*e solely rc
taliutory, and that they would be icpealrd,
so so-m as their a!lodged cause, that is, the
French decrees, should cease. Let us ex
[ amine official, and therefore authentic evi
d* nee.
1. In a note from lords Holland 5c Ancle
land, (the F^x ministry ) to Messrs. Mon
roe and Pinkney* dated December 31,1306
lie\ sta»e th.it Britain never declared any
port in a state of blockade, without allotting
a lorce competent to make the entrance into
it dangerous: that France had isaued the
Berlin decree upon an unfounded assumpti
on, that Britain had violated neutral rights :
and thiit if neutrals should submit to the Ber
lin decree, Britain would be compelled to j
t eialiale.
2. In a letter from Mr. Etskine to Mr.
Madison, dated February 22, 1808, announ
cii>g the existence of the orders in council,
Mr. Erskme s.iys:
“ His majesty having been disappointed
in his just expectation, ihat neutrals would
have interposed with effect, either to pie
vent tne execution of the French decrees, or
to procure their abrogation ; can no longer
relraiu from having terouisc to such mea
sures, as, by retorting on the enemy the evi ■
ptoduced by violence, may aff >rd the
cul> remaining chance of putting an end to
a sys om, . he existence of which, is not more
injurious to his majesty’s dominions, than ■«>
nations n x parties in the war between G. B
and Fnnce
J he right of his majesty to resort to re
taliation, cannot be qms irned : the suffer
ingoccasioned to neutrals, is incidental, and
not of his majesty’s seeking, and 1 am com
mantled by h:s majesty, especially to repre
sent to the government of the U. States, the
earnest wish re h:s majesty, to see the com
merce of the win Id once more restored to
that freedom, which is necessary to its pros
perity ; and hts readiness to abandon the
system, which has bet n forced upon him,
whenever ttie enemy shall retract the prut
ciples which have nndeied it nccessa
3. I he same language or professions will
he found in tile preamble to the outers of
1 council.
4 In a letter from Mr. Canning to Mr.
Pinkney, in answer to Mr. Pinkney’s letter
nf May 23. 1808, he eaid, “his majesty will
t lie compelled to adhere to the principles,
upon which .he orders 'if council ot January
7:h and Nov. 11th, wei;e founded, as 1 ng «s
France adheres to that system hy w hicli his
majesty’s fetaiiatory measures were occasi
oned and justified. ”
5. In a letter from Mr Canning to Mr.
Pinkney, dated September 3 1808 Mr. Can
nmg says : ** To the represen atoms which
you have repeatedly made against the or- >
ders of council, I have uniformly maintain
ed the unquestionable right of his majesty,
to resort to the fullest measures of leialifi
tion. in enns’-quener of the unparalleled ag.
gression ol the enemy, and to retort upon
that enemy the evils of his own injustice—
and have uniformly coii'*ndt d that •• if third
! parties suffer trron those measures, the de
j • nund of reparation mu9t tie made to that
power, which hist violated the establish
ed usages of war, and the rights ot neutral
J lj.es.”
6. in a debate tn the liou-e of lords; Fe
bruary 17. Ih(j9. en-l Hu hurst, lord Mel
ville and the tail <d Liverpool, maintain,
cd ‘.hat *• the .origin of he orders in coun .
oil, was tlie Beilin decree ; dint until the
Berlin decree was tcvk d, the orders in
council ought, ns a n>n or of r gilt and in
terer-t, to n-main in force j tnat the orders
in council were founded in justice, approv
ed b> expe’ irnc*, and w re the best means
of retaliating upon the aggrer? r, the acts
by which he had violated me laws of *»hC»_
ons.” In the course of the debate, lord •
Howick** letter to Mr. Rich was quoted by
the rail of Liverpool, in support ot the pre
cedii^f positions.
7. In h debate in the house of commons.
Much 6 1S08. Mr. Stephen*, (author of
Itarin Disguise ) cow ended that the or
dees in council were a politic retaliation of
the Fieiich decrees, and that those decrees
had actually injured IS> itlsh trade : “it has
been enoneotisiy soppu-ed. (-aid Mr. S.)
that we have not suffered from those de
cr< e- ; even the British party in St inert
ca has not been bold enough to sta1" how
the fact w is ; Mr. Pick. ring, who vo ably
defended the British cause, has not stated
it ” Upon the ground of injury done, he
therefore, maintained that the orders ought
io lie adhered to
rt l'he letter written by Mr. Pickering.
in the winter of 180ft, against the embargo
declares, that “the orders of tne Brit'sh
government; arc retaliating the French mi
pe;ial decree.”
9. In Mr. F. J Jackson's letter to Mr
•Smith, dated October 11. 1809. he announ
ced that Britain would not ••••volte her orders,
unless the U. States would break off in'er
course wiih France, fiermit the British
navy to enforce our non-intercourse law Sc
give ufi the coioti'al trade— tr unless the U.
S would procure the repeal of the French
decrees.
10. Fhe Arev)' York Kven*ng i* st, of
j October 2G-7, 1^07, a paper iiotorinu-dv in
the pay ot the British consul at New York,
declared that “ tnereis no hope of the Bn*
J tlsh ministry revoking their orders ns long
n3 Bonaparte refuses to rescind his decrees,
I and out* government choose to submit tame
ly to Ins mea&tire*. The following we be
lieve is the answer, in substance, ot the Bri
tish to the American minister.-• Our
orders were drawn forth by the. decrews of '
Bonaparte, which were q tietly 'submitted
to bv you ; procure a revocation of his de
cires, or bring to ir.lre voor intercourse
and negociaMon \ It him, and our orders
ns far as they relate to you shall b_- rescin
11. I he 1erfo/k 'Ledger, another federal
print, 6f April 38, 1809, understood to be
patronized by tbeBritisli coristtl there.also de
dares, that the British orders were issued
in consequehoe of*the French decrees S< that
•heir object was to firocure a ref teal ot those
decrees.
1 iiese facts, I presume, are so impressive,
nnd the sources of authority »u aut/ten'ie,
that, desperatr as “ the B'-itish partv in
merica” are, they will not liave tile hardi
hnod to pretend that Britain is no' pledged
to rescind her orders now that th decrees
o| France are revoked
Will she rescind -hose orders? I again
ttsk. Sc again say she will not—s' e itinv >-e
voke the new orders Nov. 1807 & J in. iS03.
and tiius pre’end that her promise will
have been fulfilled, but she wiil not ahan [
hon the principle (of monopoly) upon which •
they were in fact founded ; she wiil not
cease—1. to impress our seamen ; 2. to in. i
terrupt our trade in innocent goods; 3. to
prevent us from going to Bourbon. Mauri j
tins, or any other colony ; nor will she a !
bandon her paper blockades If what 1 said
in my lar. letter is not sufficient to satisfy
th«* public, that our neutral righ s will be
violated hereafter as grossly as ever. I here
quote, from ilie letter written hv Mr. \lon
roe to Mr. Madison, dated February 23,
1808 a single paragraph, which speaks a
language no one can misunderstand : —
” In every case which involved a questi
on of neutral right, or even of commercial j
accommodation, (i. Britain was lesofved to ’
> eld no ground which she could avoid, and '
was evidently /ire/iared to hazard war ra .
t/icr than yield much. There seemed to
i be no other mode to comp- 1 her to yield,
than that of embarking (with her) in rhe
w .r with tn • opposi e belligerent, on which
giwai question it belonged to the (Anv ri
enn) national councils to decide. We.
(Monr.ie and Pinkney) had pressed ;hc
claims of the U. S-ates. in the neg lciatiou
to the utmost limit that wc could go, with
out provoking that issue (war.) It is most
| ce»*:a:r. that better terms cetdd not have
i been obtained at the time we signtd the
treaty, than it contains.”
Here is a volume of instruc ion. which
should always be open before us ; this is u.
naming, which if attended to. long ago,
wouttl have saved to our country much re
pu’aii on, thousands of citizens and mil'd ins
of property : Yet. I fear, that we shall not
profit by it even now.
At tin* time the above mentioned policy'
prevailed in Britain. (1807) the F< >: admi
nistration was iop.nver, and the Berlin and !
Milan decites were not issued; who can
suppose, then, that Britain will new. wholly
•'tded by the Pit. policy, consent to do what ■
: siie refused to do, when ruled by Fox ?——
If the preferred war then, will she not ha- i
•Gat'd it now rather than respect our neu
tralify ? if Mr. Monrce could not get bet '
ter terms than those of 1806. (woen the Fox
ministry refur* d to cease impressment, to 1
define blockades, or to abandon *he rule of'
’56) can any man expect to get ns good from i
loid Wellesley ?
1 think that we might with an much pro. \
priety expect to ob-am the whole British!
!hvt as a tree gif:, as antirip. c any pacific
arrangement, calculated to heal our woun_
ded honor or to save it from further inju_
iv. '
As there.ore, we are pledged by mir own
act, to cense all intercourse with Britain, in
r asc slie should not respect our neutral rights,
now that the French decrees are rescinded ;
and as there is no sort of likelihood that
Britain will perform what she lias so often
expressed licr willingness to do ;-what
should we do, or, rather, what will be the
i?}sue t ,t
According to our law of Mav 1, 1910, the.
president is bound, as soon as he ascertains j
that the i rench decrees will cease to exist i
ini the 1st ot next month, t® issue a prncla '
mation announcing the fact. He may hour.,
ly expert, though he his not yet received ,
ihc official notification, and will speedily I
I make it known; So that, in three months
thereafter Britain must dptenvun;, t.iher j
to "revoke her edicts r,o that they shall]
| cease to violate the neutral commerce of the i
U. S:al''s,’' or to refuse to revoke them -— j
Until tins shall be decided, tlicre wifi of
course lie as Touch hazard as there is at1
p*p tnt ir. going to the continent, but from
Fiance we shall henceforth have nothing
to dread
Should Brit tin recede from her maritime
policy ami principle®, her profess* d desire,
| ns expressed !>y Mr. Fjrskine, will be grati_
fu d, s *• the commerce of the w rid will
then be, once nrre, restored to that free.,
dom wnic h is m ees* ny to .is prosperity "
Should Britain not recede, and I contend
that she will n t, wc shall cease to hold any
intercourse whatever with her, and shall l/e
at libertv to trade to the «< >nt incur of Kh
i pe -s v. v f .rmerly did—ij Hit Grid <h will
i n if interru/it v*.
I Bm, as it is evident, that, if Britain refill
sc, •<> recede, anti we s* »p all i> :etcour«w*
with It r, slip will endr iv.r te prevt nt our
! going to the continent — what should wc then
do ?
Very fortunately, this is ans'vowd nlrea
dy, bf a federal print, and *.berefute there
can Ue no cavilling at ni\ assenting to the
federal position. When the news »»? Mr.
Erskltie's arrangement, (of Apiil 1809.) for
tlie repeal of the orders in council, was re
ceived at Norfolk, the Ledger, a high toned
federal print, published the following re~
marks (April 28. 1810 )
** We think it requites no grcr.t reflection
to perceive the policy of G. Britain at this
time Qt;» making the arrangement, which
was afterwards disavowed} it is <eruiiu_
