Correspondence between Mr Secre
tary Canning and the Hon. D.
M. Erskir.e.
(Laid before Parliament.)
[ContinuedJ'rom our lust.)
Dispatch from the Honorable D. M.
Erskine, to Mr. Secretary Canning,
dated Washington, August 3, 1809.
Sm,
I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your despatches, No. 1G,
11, 12, of the 22d, 23d, and 30th ol
May, original and duplicates, the for
mer brought in his Majesty’s packet
W indsor Cattle, which arrived at New
York on the 25dt ult. and the latter
which were delivered to me yesterday
l>v Lteut. Gregory, commanding his
Majesty’s gun brig Contest, which ar
rived in Hampton Roads, in the Bay
of Chesapeake, on the 29.h ult.
I lost no time in complying with
your instructions contained ia your
No. 13, to deliver a copy of his "Ma
jesty’s Order iu Council of the 24th of
May last, to the Secretary of State ol
.L! /-< . • . . ...
^wvcrumcut, wmcn j. accordingly
seat to Mr. Robert Smith in a written
note of which the inclosed is a copy.
In obedience to your commands, I al
£o used all the means in my power
to make the above mentioned order
publicklv known throughout the Uni
ted States.
It is with the deepest regret that I
find from your despatches. Nos, 10
and 11, of the 22d acd 23d of May,
that his Majesty has disapproved oi
the manner in which 1 executed the
instructions which yon sent me by Mr
Oakley, and has been compelled to dis
avow the provisional agreement which
I had lately entered into with the go
vernment, under the persuasion that
it would have met with his majesty’s
approbation.
I'he duty and high respect which I
owe to his majesty, would restrain me
from making any reply to the animad.
versions upon my conduct, which you
have conveyed to me by his majesty’s
command, but I consider that it is in
cumbent on me to offer some observa
tions upon certain points oi my nego
ciation, which appear to have been
misunderstood, in consequence, I sup
pose, of my having given them an in.,
sufficient or imperfect explanation. I
is stated by you in your No. 10, o.
the 22d of IV ay, that with respect to
the instructions relating to the Chesa
peake, which formed tire subject ol
your despatch, i\o. l, ol the 23d cl
January last,, I omitted a preliininar)
of the most material importance, as
the condition of 44 his m jcsry’s no
longer insisting Upon the recal of the
proclamation of 1807, as a pr.liinii a \
to adjustment of the difference arising
from the affair of the Chesapeake, tha.
the ships of war, shall, in point ol fact,
have been excluded from the ports ol
the United States, and such ships ol
that cescription as were in those ports
shall have been warned to depart.”
Of this condition ymu ob •erve, that
I appear to have taken no notice what*
ever; you add also that the non inter*
course bill operated to the prospective
exclusion.
1 beg have to refer you to the firsi
section of the non-intercourse law,
which you will find excludes the shiph
ol war, from the passing of that act on
the first of March; t!« prohibition
therefore, was not prospective but im
mediate, and in fact had been in ope
ration six weeks before l commenced
the negotiation.
Upon the subject of the warning
which should lie given to any French
ships, in tire ports of the United States,
the Secretary of Slate Mr. H >btr
Smith, inrolmed me, that there wen.
no French ships at present, wilh’n tht
waters of the United S at*-*, ami tha
it was to be presumed, that the govern
ment would cause their laws to be ex
ecuted; in the propriety and justice
of which sentiment, I fully acquiea
ccd. ■
The preliminary condition t*bove
mentioned was, therefore, I conceive,
fulfilled.
1 Your next objection ster.es, t*1 i’ rht
I proclamation of the President ol j i.
*807, i * neither wi hd raw r>, or • s -
peraiion declared to be a: a end.
On explanation of this poin , 1 b.q
•eave to remars, that the Non I t«r
-ouot law abrogated even the act up
on which the President’s proclamation
was founded, bv the words at the cu a
of the 3d section of that act, jn»-.-rte i
by* the Congress for that purpose,
which circumstance I communicate 1
to you in my No. 18, or the li'Ji of
March, and again in my No. 19, of
the 13th of April, in w Jen 1 mention*
ed that the Secretary of State declar
ed to me, that the proclamation was
merged in the non-intercourse. f be
lieve I omitted in No. 19, to inform
you, that Mr. Smith added, that it w :s
impossible to issue a proclamation to
recul an edict, which wai a rjady revo
ked and could n_t be revived.
The third objection tattn by you
is upon a point of so delicate a nature,
that I proceed to an explanation of ic
with the greatest caution and ifcler
ence,
Permir me, sir, to request that you.
wiil lay before his majesty my most
earnest assurances, that I would not
have all-iv'cd any expressions which I
thought disrespectful towards his ma
jesty to have remained unanswered in
any note, I may have received.
It would be an inexcusable ornumn.
tioQ iu me to attempt to put a different
construction on the expression* conr
taincd in the latte- part of Mr. Smith’*
first letter to me, or .o view the mean
ing of the words in a different l.jrht
from that which you have been pleas
ed to inform me his majes y has done,
but I think it my duty to cedare,
that I do not believe aav intention
whatever existed in the mind ot the
President of the United Mates, to
convey a disrespectful meaning toj
wards his m jesty by those expressi
ons.
Upon my being informed by the
Secretary of State, that the President
would agree to wave any demand or
furiher punisftra nc of the ifricish o.u
cer who had caused an at.a k .o jo
made on the United States iriga.tr
Chesapeake, but that it would be "Im
possible to reiraiu from ext.r.s*:.ig a;i
opinion lha: he deserved ir, i used ait
iny endeavors to persuade thi* govern
ment to give up such an i liinuatioo,
no. lrom auy idea that I entertained
of in being disrespectful to h;s mujes
ty, but as it might seem less concilia
tory than the disposition of the Presi
dent had been represented to me, and
of the sincerity ot which I was fully
persuaded.
Alter I hnd received Mr. Smith’s
note, I delin'ra ed upon the propi ie*
<y ot making any observations in a .
*wer to those expressions, l>u. I w.13
induced to forbear from ending any
reply by consideration of th. joli y
ind propriety of not blending ir rit ur.g
discussion, w th amicable adjust men is,
I- appear'd to me that if any inde
corum could justly he attributed to the
expression in the note oft!;*
government, the censure due would
lull upon them, anil that the public o
pinion would condr tm thv.ir b id taste
or want of propriety, in coldly and un
graciously giving up what th.y consi
dered as a right, but which tiiey are
not in a condition to enforce.
1 he feelings of his m.ijrsty upon
that point are a sufficient proof that L
have formed an erroneous judgment
respecting it, and 1 have to lament not
only that any act or omission on my
part Seoul J have incurred his majesty \
displeasure, but that it should have
been the cause (though unintentional
ly) of Conveying any expression per
sonally disagreeable, or ev*. n apparent
ly disrespect!ul to the sovereign ot n.y
country.
I have omitted to mention one cir
cumstance, winch is, that the reason
.vhy I did not put in a claim < u th®
>art of bis majesty to recover Iro n
he American (^ verunum, d rtna
trom his majesty’s scrVJto yv.ia, 11,;*c
hey had always declined the lUneivr*
vtiling to be guided by the laws ol un
ions, upon that subject.
My motives for deviating from th®
irccisc line of my instructions relative
o the bounty intended by his u». > •• %
y for tlie relations ol the killed an t
^minded on board the Chesi.p; aki*,
vdl, I hope, upon cxpl <nat«ontb<;: ,mv;
i o be satisfactory, •
*
