cal journals, I made diligent search for articles
which relate to the relations between the United
States end Great Britain—in order to ascertain, as
tar as practicable, the general feeling of the nation,
as well as the government, on the suhjert of the late
disagreement between onr administration and Mr.
Jackson, tha English minister. Of these, the fol
lowing article copied from Yorke’s Political Regis
ter, appeared to me the most interesting, as that pa
per being attached to the present ministry, and its
editor reported to have knowledge of their feelings
and intentions, the article in question might be con
sidered as delineating those feelings, and unfolding
their intantions. If you, sir, think the article will
afford your numerous readers any information on
the stale of our relations with England, or on the
course which its government will probably pursue,
the transcript of it is very much at your and their

AN AMERICAN,
Septsmher 2, 1810,
Of the NEGOCIATION with AMERICA.
“ The correspondence between the Marquis Wel
lesley and Mr. Pinkney, confirms the opinion I gave
some time ego, that no measure inconsistent with
the dignity of this country, would be admitted
while the negoriation with the government of the
United States of America should be conducted by
| our present secretary of state for foreign affairs.—
It is to he observed that this correspondence is con
fined to a particular subject, and that it does not in
the least embrace those topics of discussion which
continue to occupy the statesmen of the two coun
tries. The representation contained in Mr. Pink
ney's letter is limited to the conduct of Mr. Jackson
our minister in America, and it seems to be rather
an attempt to extenuate the behaviour of the Ame
rican government in relation to that gentleman,
than a direct impeachment, supported by farts, of
his conduct. Upon such a subject, lord Wellesley
has judiciously avoided all controversy, which would
have only had a tendency'to prolong the negociati
on upon other subjects, to an unnecessary length.—
As the case now stands, each government may re
tain its own opinion, without disturbing the di
plomatic intercourse in which both are engaged.—
But, it is due to the character of Mr. Jarkson to
remark, that though our government has acceded
to tbe request of the American government for bis
recal, it has marked that circumstance with an
warm an approbation of bis proceedings as to leave
no doubt upon the mind of any one respecting its
sentiments upon them.
“ It has nevertheless been thought that we have
evinced too pliable a disposition, and that we ought
to have insisted on the continuance of Mr. Jackson
as our minister in America, or to have broken off
the negotiation. I cannot roincide in this opinion;
for in the present state of the world, it would not
have been politick to defeat the important object
of a reconciliation between Great Britain and Ame
rica by displaying an hostile mind, when both par
ties! had an opportunity of continuing their inter
course without receding from their sentiments upon
a point of etiquette. It is not hereby meant that
governments should be indifferent to the mainte
nance of the character and dignity of their own re
presentative ; but that under the peculiar riicum
stances of the times, moderation is real magnanimi
ty- This is the doctrine of Grotius, Puffendorf, and
Vattels and l must add, that it would have been
rash as well as impolilick to have put an end to all
negotiation, which would have been the effect of
sending no minister to America, merely on account
of an exception taken against a particular minister,
while we were, at the time, professing a sincere de
sire to terminate all the existing differences between
the two nations. By adopting a middle course, our
foreign secretary jus placed it out of tbe power of
the American government to reproach ug w ith an
hostile and insincere mind; which it would have
Hone had we persisted in requiring the negotiation
to be transacted hy a minister whom it had avow
ed was personally obnoxious to it. I am aware
that we adopted a different line of policy when the
French executive directory objected to hud Malmes
bury’s second nomination to the embassy of France;
bat the cases were different. For we were in a state
of actual war with France, when bis lordship was
elected to open a negotiation for peace, and there
fore, the minister who was roost ornoxious to the
enemy was precisely the man most proper for trans
acting our affairs. We know to what a lamentable!
issue, a contrary policy led at tbe time of the uego
tion at Amiens. But, in the present instance, the
British and American nations, though in a state of
surly discontent, are not engaged in hostilities, nor
have they been at war. Accordingly, the wishes of
either, in relation to a particular minister, entrust
ed with the conduct of a negotiation avowedly en
tered upon to avert the necessity of war, might be
safely attended to, without any compromise of their
dignity, or any departure from the just and indepen
dent rights of either.' It is true that the American
government betrayed too testy and precipitate a
spirit, in suspending all communication with Mr,
Jsckson, before it had made an/representation of
itf cause of complaint to bis government; tot this
irregular and certainly indecornua conduct has been
resented with becoming dignity by oor government ;
rkhich, according to lord Wellesley's letter to Mr.
fipkoey, will not send a minister of rank to the
republican court, hot “ it person properly qualified
'to carry on tbe ordinary intercourse between tbe
too governments'’—rhal ts; a charge d'affaires, and
dot a minister plenipotentiary such as Mr. Jackson
charged with an extraordinary mission, and filling a
higher diplomfitirk htnk.(*) A proper course has

«*i,
»lso been Adopted by oof government in Ibt^tMi
e»tioo of its dignity, by Tindirating the character
of its representative against t!fc aspersions of the re
publican coart. And therefore, in retOrn for tbit
if®s*,lH,at*interroptidilbf the intercourse with Mr.
Jackson, lord Wellesley passes tbe highest encomi
uma on tbe integrity, seal, and ability of that gen
tleman, and signified that his majesty will not mark
,bi.s conduct with any expression of his displeasure
which, in other words, conveys a plain but civil
notification that in tbe opinion of our government,
the proceedings of tbe American government were
intemperate and improper.
“ ^bos, by taking a middle course, we have hap
pily avoided all ocrasion for recrimination on a very
delicate point of controversy, and matters are plac
ed in tbe exactly tbe same state as they were in be
fore tbe arrival of Mr. Jackson in America. Should
tbe government of the United States be satisfied
with this measure, as it ought to be, if the professi
°.n* *D ^r" Pmkney’s letter be sincere, tbe negotia
tion will piobably be brought to a happy end; if
not, the diplomatic intercourse will be suspended in
limine, and our government will have the consoling
redaction that it has left no means untried, compati
ble with its dignity, to re-establish upon equitable
foundations, the amicable relations which existed
between the two countries. Hence it follows that
we cannot be1 losers by such an example of modcra
{'lion and magnanimity. Anper and rpspnfmnvt nunht
never to actuate a government, until every hope is ex
tinguished of obtaining through a pacific intervention,
the claims of justice, and the rights oj a nation. These
passions ough t more especially to be avoided by a
power possessing as we do, a manifest superiority,
moral and physical, over the state with which we
are negotiating, for, in the event that those claims
and those rights should be denied by tbe inferior
power, our cause will rest on an indubitable basis,
and we shall have the satisfaction of seeking redress
with reason and justice on our side.
“ The system of policy which we have pursued
for the last twenty years, has been in strict contor
nnty with these principles. I do not think that our
foibearance towards America, during that long pe
riod, has been either commendable or expedient; but
tbe violent aggression of Buonaparte upon tbe com
merce and persona! liberty of the citizens of tbe U
nited States; bis recent audarious and insulting de- I
crees against them, followed by the most wan- j
ton violation of public faith, and by tbe most !
contemptuous infringement of their national in
dependence, induce me to think that they will not j
much longer brook such outrages, when, by an ho
nest resolution to live upon good terms with the on- <
ly state upon earth which is capable of checking his
ty ranay and rapacity, they may acquire the means
of making him observe towards them those laws of
justice, which he has insolently trampled under bis
feet, whenever claimed by every other civilized peo
ple. Nothing can exceed the monstrous despotism
which he exercises over the United States of Amr
rica, tie government if which he must abhor upon
principle: for it is his interest and his detrfroinat.on
to extinguish every vestige of popular freedom in e
very ffmntry «f the world, that no moral barrier
may be interposed against bis furious ambition. If,
with all their partiality for France, their long en
during patience under her systematic oppress.ons,'
and the marked subserviency of their republican go
vernors to tbe dictates of th* Continental Despot,
the Americans refuse to resent the Bootless usurpa
tions of a man, who imprisons their fellow-citizens,
condemns tbeir ships as lawful prizes taken by na
tions at war, and seizes every where the produce of
iheir industry—-if they suffer these enormities to be
practised with impunity, they can no longer be con
sidered as an independent nation; and bavin"
forfeited their independence, they will cease to have
a right to treat wills any free country upon the
looting of equality. All these usurpations ol Buo
naparte are hostile acts daily accumulating, against
the political independence of America, and nothin**
can be more clear than tbe truth of this assertion*
when we see the French aggressor uniformly as
serting, that he is provoked to the commission of
such unexampled outrages by the refusal of the A
nierican government to make a common cause with
France against the maritime potter of England. To
dictate and to act thus, is an assumption of supeii
ority ; and the state which tamely acquiesces under
its effects, is no longer independent. It is astonish
ing that tbe government and people of tbe United
Slates have not before opened their eyes to the
consequence of this system of usurpation, which
cannot be borne with by them unless they ac
knowledge the right claimed by Buonaparte of
interfering in tbe interna! concerns of all nations.
But, as it is tu be hoped that the people of
America are not disposed to make such an acknow
ledgment in the very infancy of their republican in
stitutions, our government has exercised a- sound
discretion in striving by its moderation and amica
ble inclination, to bring our mutual differences
to a lasting accommodation, whereby they may
be impressed with a just sense of their dangers,
and encouraged to resent the wrongs they have sus
tained from the perfidious object of their preference
end attachment. If, after^such proofs of a pacific
and friendly disposition towards them on the pan
of Great Britain tbe Americans should acknow
ledge the assumed right of French interference in
their affairs ; if they should truckle under the sys
tem of robbery and insult, which they experience
resulting from, that assumed right; then they will
have no pretext for reproaching us, because we
no longer treat them as an independent nation.—
Tbe state which renounces its independence, by ac
knowledging the claim of another power to dictate
toil, and to,punish it for disobedience, becomes a
vassal of the power so dictating and punishing; and
having surrendered its independency, must expect to
be dealt with as an enemy, embarked in an odious
conspiracy against, the liberty, the honor and the
happiness of every independent nation.'' <i<: .

Amounting in the whole to the sum of two hun

That the interest on said sums, giving six months j

Of these jury fees only sixty dollars has been
paid over to tbe county, leaving a balance of-§22dF
30 cts. exclusive of the interest above stated,
’ r $226 30
That no settlement had been made,' 00 this sab-'
ject with tbe county, we now therefore are of opini
on, those jury fees likewise ought to be considered
as having been Teceived to the use of the county and
to be accounted for accordingly. We also find up- f
on examination, that the duties due from attorhiey
on their admission to the courts in this county,:
from tbe year 1796 to the year 1808, amounts t*K
tbe sum of 130 dols. that of this sum there appears ®'
to be credited in the treasurer’s books the sum of
710 dolls. leaving a balance unaccounted for of 32Q
dells. With regard to this last sura, a majority of
the committee are of opinion, that there is not sa
tisfactory evidence to charge the same to the coun
ty treasurer. But tbe said,county treasurer wish
ing to close his accounts at-hhis term, consents to
he charged with this sum on condition of being re
imbursed any psrt or the whole thereof when pro
ducing evidence to the satisfaction of the court that
the same was not paid to him. The said commit-;;
tee also find a further sum of twenty* two dollars *
which ought to have been credited to therouhty id
the settlement made in 1804, but was omitted.— '

Having proceeded that farf it was the opinion, of r
the major part of (aid committee, that we had done
all, that by the order of the court, we were autho

the opinion that we were empowered also to make
a Anal settlement of the county treasurer’s accounts, -
from December 18O9, up to the present time, and
as the convenience of the county, io the opinum of
all the committee would seem to require that suck *
settlement, as is last mentioned, should, be nude, v
we have also proceeded to examine live county ac
counts, from'the settlement made in December last
to the present time, and having so examined, wd *
find that the said treasurer’s charges of payments ,v
