Jor.gv r insisting tipoo the recall of the
Proclamation of July 1807, as a preli
rniniry to the adjustment of the dif
ference arising from the affair of the
Chesapeake, <« that the ships of war
ol 1'ranee shall, in point of fact, have
been excluded from the ports of the U.'
S. au.i such ships of that description
. as were in those ports, shall have been
Warned to depart.”
Of this condition you appear to have
taken no notice whatever. The Non
Intercourse Bill operated only to the
prospective exclusion } but as to the
warning to be given to any ships of
war Ct France (if anv such there were)
in the ports of the U. S. it n > where
appears that even a question was put
i by you on this subject, much less that
y u rec?tved any satisfactory assurance
upon it.
2dly. Htlt if this preliminary conditi
on had been fulfilled, your instructions
pioceeded to state, that even then, it
would at tl be necessary that cither the
Proclamation should be withdrawn or
its operation formally /declared to be
at an end,” though it would be suffi
cient that such withdrawal or declara
tion should be recoided in the same
ins rumcot, or at the same time with
the terms of reparation.”
So far from this Indispensable con
di ion h .ving been obtained by you,
Mr Smith, in the answer returned by
him to j our note, studiously avoids a
n thing like a recognition of the prin
ciple or. which alone the demand of the
fo mal recall of the Proclamation was
Id be waved j neither is the Proclama..
lion itaclt withdrawn, nor its operation
declared to be at an end.
» ne imviuu* con equence ot this
emission is, that if the N< n Intercourse
Act, which is a temporary Act, were
to he s iflered to expire, the Proclama
tion might revive, and the inequality
between the two B. lligcients be there
by res*or< d.
; It was obviously your duty, before
you committed hi„ Majesty’s name by
a written offer of reparation, to ascer
t in in what manner that oiler would
b" r ceived, and answered ; and if you
found that the express condition either
of the withdrawing the Proclamation,
or declaring its operation to be at an
end, would not be complied with, to
abstain from proceeding one single
step in the negociation until you had
referred home lor further instructi
ons.
That part of vour instructions which
directed that this arrangement, if not
made the auhject of consideration,
sh 'uld be settled bv the exchange of
Ministerial Notes dated on the same
day , and reciprocally delivered at the
same time, was expressly intended to
guard against tlie pos ibility of your
co omitting yourself by a written pro
posal. in the uncertainty of what might
l e the nature of the answer to be re
turn* d to it.
His m siesty will not suppose it that
Mr Sm this ir iended answer can have
been communicated toyou previously,
arid have obtained \our approbation.
J^ln the p'oposal for restoring the men
taken from cn board the Ch sapeak, is
was not intended that the condition of

vernment, it either na.ural born sub„
jects ol his ir.ajcst\, or deserter’s from
J is raaj.estv ’9 service, shoulu have been
f miu« d. 1 < wcl), however, the less on
this point, as his Majesty’s right, in
t.us lespect, is founded on public law,
£;nd does not require to he foitified
by "the recognition of any other Go
Vernmcnt. '
but 1 cannot forbear observing with
1 egret that the bounty of his Majesty,
in due in.ended provision for the rela
hops ol the men killed on hoard the
Chevapeak* is not only stated bv you
without a similar restriction, but it
brought forward at once a* a part o!
ihe teptra ion originally offered ; and
thus converted by you from an at;
t,l'spontaneous generosify, mtooneol
positive obligation.

toyoa the displeasure which hi. Ma

was expcfted that Cadiz would hold out
for a long time against its besiegers.
