T) the hditcr of the jYut. Intelligencer
SIR. .
I have observed in the Norfolk Ledger
some ingenious strictures on the President's
late pr 'clamation. I wish I could, with e_
qual propriety, say they were just : for the
general decorum of that paper entitles it to
respect ; and 1 am always sorry when I am
obliged to contradict a gentleman
I he first remark of the Ledger is, that
the letter of the Duke of Cadore, annnun
ciog the revocation of the offensive edicts,
is conditional and dictatorial. Conditional,
I grant, it is ; because it is of the nature of
a contract, and ail con'tacts are condition
al » thttt is, they pledge one party toper,
form a certain thing, on condition that rlie
other party perform another certain tiling.
he condition prescribed by the U Suites
in tlie act of the 1st of \lav, which iflvi
ates the di~ ta' ion (and destroys the paral_
led attemp.ed to be run between the note of
| lords Holland an*d Auckland affixed to the
famous rejected treaty and the Duke of
Cadore’s letter.) inasmuch .i, wha* we pro
posed ourselves, of our owo mere motion,
cannot with am kind of reason, be ^aid to
have been dictated to us. Cadore in re
quiring ilia*, the U States shall cause their
lights to be respected, says, expressly, that
this is to be done «• conjormably to the act
Oj he first oj May las> m o her words,
conliH wiably to the conditions which the U*
S. had preserved to themselves. The de
duration or repeal, then, had all the cer
tainty necessary ; unless indeed, we be„
lie\e tiiat we shall bvealc ur part of the
contract ! The note from l- rrts Holland and
Auckland w <h quite a difF rent ih ng • It
did, in reality, dictate ; for it resumed a
power in his Britannic majesty to viola e
the whole treaty, if the U S did not m.,ke
an undefined resistance in a case wher« they
had given no previous pledge to resist ; and
at a time, too, when the ncce*si ty of resis
tance was not apparent.
1 lie logic of the Ledger is a quibble, turn
ing upon a grammatical sophism in relaM< n
tome aw <.f Mav and the duke of Cadore’s
letter. Cad re’s letter, by accep;ii.g the
terms prop sed in tin- act of May pUrs the
conditions, as they respi ct the United States
m fill- nivl lai.c. . . u _ I I . '
t iiisms s uiat
Miey ale in the future tense, contends th.it if
fjreatBmain fails to rescind her :m.i-ncu
tral edicts, the Uni»edStates must take cer
tam measures agninst her; and. upon this
supposed futurity, builds an alternative —
1 ht Ledger is totally mistaken; l jie Arne
ncan government has done what it volu„ta
nly pledg d itself todo—all that France re
quire* conformably to hat pledge—tne Iran
is set, it will close at the end of three mon.ha
from the date of the proclamation, and. if
. eat Britain does not hasten to escape from
it. (upon the just conditions offered to her as
well as to France.) that w,U be her own
fault, and she may, like the fox, with uii
her cunning, happen to Jose her tail.
1 he second and seemingly the last point,
which the Ledger at.empts to pervert m re
lauon to this subject, is the detention of
American property, unlawfully sequestered
m ihe nort* ni Pnno. — ,i u .. 1 u
--—•unci allies. Inis
the Norfolk paper thinks is a continuation of
tne French edicts; and that, unul .he did
per.y is resumed, there can be no cessa ion
oj die violation of neutral trade _In
strengthen the observation, the Ledger cites
a passage from a letter of Mr. Madison's to
Mr. Rose, on the affair of the fngs-e Che
sapeake, wherein Mr. Madison ent: nds ,hal
tht detention of the seamen forcibly taken
from that vessel is a continuation of -he at
gression. 1 mus, rsmisd this N rfoik cri- .c
that THE CASK or Til K v HESAPEAKh iris

P’ nPer,y >11 rranee. It does not follow that
because the President did not insist on the
restoration of the property as a preliminary,
he does not mean to insist on it here dun
on the contrary, the course he has pursued
by opening the way m a good unde, s.anding
