told hit-, that although he maid-manner I
for ress, yet that there was;-o doubt '
but that Cartgress wnul honestly fulfil the
implied stipnlation, and would enforce onr !
laws against the ossonding power. _
What was the lact? Mr. Madison not
only fails to recommend it inhis speech, .
but Congress neglect to include Hollasrd- :
tho' within the British orders, tho'. within '
the absolnte dominion of France, tho? en
sorcing .lawsjnjyrious both to our own
rights and those of Great Britain. What
apology is- made for this_breach-os faith?
Shall we any that, Mr. Madison's. sugges
tions amountedto no pledge? Did it not
bind leipueffi' at least, to thessrecommenda
tion? What is the excuse set np'sssor this si
violation of aprivate understantling? Mr. :
Smith tells us that it was less issmPortant to- s
Great Britatn because Holland excluded us
sroin her; parts? This, if it had been true,
would hire beena singular reason for open
ing our trade with her, but it was not cor- i
rect—She has never excluded our ships '
lreighted with certain productions of
our own country, unless they came ussithin
the provisions of the Dutch decree, which ;
copied the decrees of Berlin and Milan. ;
Thus we see thnt is the man emcnt with '
Erskine had been deemed by his. Madison
& serious one, he has very ill fulfilled the
poos and narrow conditions which he had
persuaded Mr. Erskine to accept in lieu ,
of those to which he was directed to as- _
sent. __ '
Let us now say a few words upon the .
rejectionof the agreement by,Great Britain, ;
for ajew only, yith the remarks we have ;
before made, will suffice. si - j
Great Britain wousshave had a right to .
hsve refused to ratify the 'reement even ;
if Mr. Erskine hadpm'med his instructions, !
because he was not vestedctwith snllpowcrlfi
and she would only have been obliged to.
say to us thst he had no sufficient suthority. -
This is su parted by the quotation from i
Vettei, mn e by our own civih'an Mr; :
Smith: and which is in fact, and is to be _
presunied to be the strongest case h'ectcen &
cize— Vnttel say! that lgsireements and trea- !
- ties made in virtue ufact all;-owe:- are bind- ,

not the fault of Great-Britain. She autho
rised her miniater to shew them, and we
were bound by the law of nations to demand
his cut/tart! , as we have proved by the let
ter of his- esserson to Mr. Haznm'ond.
This brings me to the laat remark si which
I have to make in proof that the agreement
with Ere-kin: was not eineere, but ten in
tendedto be. usedaea source of new dilli
cultiet, and to be the apolugy for rupture.
if that arrangement had been- made bond
side, and with an honest disposition to bring
about a soctlid peace with Great-Britain,. the
disavowal of it would have been received an ss
all n\zions receive evente of that sort, with
out et'notionror complaint. As two pedecsit l
reasons, as we have shewn, existedto jussti- T
fy Great'Britain in rejctcting the agreement,
for neither of which was the accountahle to ]
ssus further than to state them, it waa auﬂici- !
ent for her to make this ltnozvn to us thro'
any c/mmtcl. ] shall, on a lutttsire nccation,
consider the high mettled and sastidioua
ground taken by our government; that a
_special envoy should be sent with-a special
power,. with a certain teehnical form of
words, and should make a formal proces
eion to the Capital in a penitential sheet, to
apologize for an act, which we, and another
nations, have done without any apolugy—
in short, to apologize for the neglect of our
own ministera in not demand—int; Mr. Er— ]}
akine's power-.
But ! cunn-bt quit this part of my sub
ject, which it now compleated, without one
(timber remark, that is somewhat singular,
that our national senoihtlitssv thouldbe so
local or pcsmnal—That while France isl
allowed to kick us from Finlantl to the pil- I
