publcattenefthe correspondence of a minister without K*
comm reiice,'and previously to hi* traftsminienof it to Ms'
tain, m the first ptgMy toobsetvCto ynStinat all the in
. ^et'uctnnS'that l.trasi*m((ted to you, by b is majesty ’a com
. xnapsUemv displteh No. 1, expressly stated that “the tnan'
" "Alin which the proposal for the adjustment a* that
“ 4rflwrei.ee may be receired, would be the tost of the ge
** ,nei*! dhprhitmnof the American government, and would
“ naturally indicate the cuuitc tube pursued in respect to
" the further instructions,” which l proceeded to commu
nicate to you in another dispatch: and 1 am tn express his
majesty's surprize and regret, that such a note as that you re
ceived from Mr Smith, in answer to your offer of reparati
on for the affair of the Chesapeake, can have been received
by ? you a* a proof of the acceptance by the govern.
■ sneul of the United States, of the honourable reparation
Ic Urr. «J by his majesty, “ in the «ame spirit of con
ciliation in which it was proposed.” That note itself
being an offence against his majesty’s dignity, 6uch as nr.
minister of his ma je .ty ought to have passed by uiircsented
l am at a loss tn conceive on what ground you thought
yourself authorized to open your correspondence on the sub •
ject of the orders In council,with the intimation of his m.i
yesty’j determination to send to the United States an envoy
extraordinary “invested with full power to conclude a treaty
•n ail the points nftherelationsbctween the two countries ”
• -Yourinstructions do not authorize you to hold out the
expectation of any such mission, until iiis majesty should
have received, on tire part of tlie.goveinment of the United
States, an anthcntick and official recognition of the condi
tions which you were directed to require.
*:v The inst notions which I was commanded by his tnajesty
to transmit to you, on the subject of the orders in council,
were framed on the basis of three conditions: the agree
merit to which, on the part of the American government,
was stated to be indispensable to hUhnaJesty’sconsentiri," to
Withdraw his ordeis in council. The first of these conditi
ons was, that the interdiction of the harbours of America,
to the ships of war of Great Britain, and all non-intercourse
or nonimportation acts should be.withdrawn, sofa, as res
pects Great Britain, “ leaving them in force with respect to
France, and the powers which adopt or act under her de
crees.”
i ne *d, that America snou'.n renounce during tne pre
tent war, the pretension of carrying on, in time of war,
all trade with the enemy's colonies, from which she was
excluded durnig peace. ■■>
The 3d, that it shou'd be understood and agreed between
the two powers, that Great Britain .should he at liberty to
capture all American vessels that should be found attempt
ing totrade with France, or any powers, which adopted or
acted under her decrees.
1 was commanded Instate to you, that a pen receiving, on
the part of the American government, a distinct andoSichl
recognition of these three conditions, pis majesty would lose
mo time in sending a minister to Amur ica fully empowered
to consign them (these three conditions) to a formal and re
gular treiy, his majosltv on his part, withdrawing his orders
In council of January and November, 1BG7, or, if the delay
»erc thought tv be inconvenient, you were authorized to
•ngagefor his majesty, “that upon the receipt here of an
“ offi'-'al note, containing an ejfgneement for the.adoption
by the American government of these three conditions,”
his majesty wruld be nrepared on the faith of such engage
ment, to recall the orders in council, without waiting for
the conclusion of a treaty.
The local thereof, on his majesty’s part, vf the orders
In council, was to depend entirely and delusively or. the
acceptance, by the American government, ‘ of the three
conditions, so precisely described, and so repeatedly refer
red ro.
In this respect the instructions were peremptory, and ad
mitted of no discretion.
The only discretion left to you was, in the event of the
American government expressing a wish to that* fleet, to
anticipate the operation nf the treaty, by engaging in his
xnajestv’s nam«, that his majesty would withdraw his orders
iti council, on th e rei-c pr here of an official notffcomainirig
the formal engagement of the American government to a
dupt these three conditions
Nothing car be more clear, than that not one of these
three ceud’ lions has been adonPxl by the American govern
ment, nar any engagement Ulmn for th«ir adoption.
• The second and third condition you appear to have given
op altogether
No meution whatever is made of them in your written
communicatiiins to Mr. Smith, end in inspect to them
therefore yr.u have acted in direct contradiction to your
instructions ,
■ But even of the first condition, of which alone yon ap
pear to have attempted to obtain the fulfilment, the most
material part has either been oiei looked or concealed by
you. , •--- • ■ # ■
Thiseondition did not require solely the repeal of tlteof
fcr.sive aits with respect ta Great Bdtain, but that repeal
coupled with the continuance of those acts in force with
redact to “ France and the powers which adopt and act
under her decrees.”
Upou this clause, the most important part of theconditi
on, you do not appear to have insisted in any part, not on
ly of your correspondence, but of your verbal communica
tions with the American government
This clause, above all others, it was necessary to consign
to a formal and written agreement. As the matter at pre
sent stands before the world in your official correspondence
with Mr. Smith, the American government would be at li
bs'ty to morrow to repeal the nnn-intcrcourse act altogether,
without infringing the agreement which vnu have thought
proper to enter into on bchalt of his majesty, and if such a
clause waatliought necessary to this condition at tha time
when my instructions were written, it was obviously become
tnurh more so, when the non intercourse aft was passed for
* limitsd time. You must also have been aware at the time
, of making the agreement, that the American government
had in fact, form illy exempted Holland, a power, which
.has-. Ur .question ably adopted and acted under the decrees of
France, from the operation of the nnn-inteicourse aet; an
coemption in direct contravention of the eorditior. prescri
bed to you, and which, of itself, ought to have prevented
.>•*» fr,im coming to any agreement whatever.
Without thejvf.ie obtaining even one of thuse. conditions,
on the obtaining of a’l of which the corcessiosi of his nujes
ty gras to depend, you have p'cdged his majesty to the lull
eitent of that concession, and have placed his majesty in
the painful alternative of having either to refuse or abide by
Wn engagement taken in his majesty’s name, by an actredit
•d minister of his majesty, or acquiesce in a measure which

views, -blit in Contradiction Is his positive di reft it ns 1

of ytqw despatch tn Mo. 9, of the fi3d January fafi, I had
omitted a preliminary of the OJofl’material importance, at'
the condition of « htt majesty V no longeryiststing Uj«n
“ the reeal of she proclamation of 1807* as a preliminary
“ t *the adjuftarcut of the differencoaritine fr„ro the affair
“ of the Chesapeake, and that the ships of wat of France
* shall io point of fact ha»e; been excluded fiom the posts
of the AJuited States,! andeuch ships of that description
** as were ir. those ports *$aH have heen warned to.depart.”
Of this condition you observe, that I appear to have uk^
eu ho notice whatever: you add'aisuthat the non-intercourse’
billoperated to the prospective exclusion. - "
1 beg leave to refer you to the first Section’ of the noa-tn
tercoune law, which you will find excludes the ships of war,
from the passing of that act on the Brft rtf March • the pro
hibition therefore was not prospective but immediate, and
in fact had been inoperatian six weeks before i commenced
the rugociatieu - ,
Upon the subjact of the warning which should be given to
any of die French ships in the por'S of the United buttes,
the secretary of state, Mr Robert Smith, informed me,
that’there were no Fiench sli ps at p[«s nt within the wa
ters of the Uluted States, and that ip was to be frau- tl that
the government would cause iheir laws to be executed ; in
the propriety and justice of which sentiment I fully acqui
esced. ‘ ‘
i ns preliminary condition aboveraentioned w»» therefore,
I conceive, fulfilled.
Your neat objection states* that the proclamation of the
president of Ju'y 1807, is neither withdrawn nor its operati
on declared to tee at an end. t
_ In explanation of this (mint, I beg leave to remark, that
the non-intercourse lata abrogated even the act upon which
the president’s proclamation was founded, by the words at
the end of the 3d section of that act, inserted by the con
press for that express purpose, which circumstance 1 com
municated to you in my No. 18, of the 17th of March, and
in my No. 19, ofthe 18th of April, in which 1 men
tioned that die secretary fif state declared to me that the pr|w
clamation was merged in the nnn-intcrcnursc. 1 bclir^PI
1 omitted in my No 19, to inform vou, that Mr Smith ad
ded that it was imjiossible to issue a proclamation to rccal
an edict, which was already revolted and could not be revived
_ The third objection til;en fcy you is upon a po;nt of so de
licate a nature that 1 proceed to an explanation of it, wiih
the greaiest caution and deference.
Permit me, sir, to request that you will lay befiraahic ma
jesty my most earnest assurances that I would n-rtmave al
lowed any expression* whicli 1 thought disrcpectfui towards
his majesty to have remained unanswered, in any note 1
may have received.
It would be an inexcusable presumption in me to attempt
to pul a different construction upon the expressions contain
| crl in the latter part of Mr. Smith’s first letter to me, or to
view the meaning of the words in adifferoutlighi f omthst,
which you have been pleased to inf irm me his rnaiesty has
done: but 1 think itmy duty to declare that I rio not believe
: ?ny intention whatever existed in the mind of the president
i ul the United States to convey a disrespectful meaning to
wards his majesty by those expressions
Upon tny being informer! bv the secretary of state, that
the president would agree to wave any demand for further
punishment of Riiti.li offi.ers, who lad caused an attack
to be made on the United States’ frigate Chesapeake, but
that it would be impossible to refrain from expressing an o
omion that he deserved it; 1 used all my ofF.rts to persuade
tins government to give u,i such an insinuation, not for any
idea that I entertained of its being disrespectful to his ma
jesu, but as it might seem less conciliatory than the di-po
sit on of the president had been represented to ine, and of
the sincerity of which I was fully persuaded
After 1 had received Mr. Smith’s note, I deliberated upon
the pr vpriety of making any observations in answer to those
expressions, but 1 rsas induced to forbear from sending any
repiy by considerations of the policy and propriety of not
blending irritating discussion with amicable adjustments.
it appealed tome that if any indecorum could justly be
attributed to the expressions in the official notes of this gov
eminent, the cemure due would fall upon their, and that
the pubtkk opinion would condemn the taste or want of
propriety, in coldly and ungraci utly giving up vi.it Hey considered
ai a r gut, but isliicA they -ere nut in a condition to < " 'r,T£t
The feelings of his majesty upon that point area sufficient'
proof that 1 have formed an erroneous judgment respecting
it, and 1 have to lament not oniy that any act or om'rtsion on
my part should have incurred his majesty’s displeasure, but
that it should have been thee tuse (though unintentionally)
of conveying any expression pe.soiiaily disagreeable or even
apparently disrespectful tothe sovereign of my country,
I have omitted to mention one circumstance, whicli is,
that the reason why 1 did not put in a claim on the pait of
Ills majesty to recover from the American government, de
serters from his majesty’s service, was, that they have al
ways declared themselves willing to be guitiod by the laws
of rations upon that subject.
My motives for deviating from the precise line of my in
st-ections relative to the bounty intended by hismajtsty for
the relations of the killed and wounded on board the Che
sapeake, wilt 1 hope, upon explanation, be found to be sa
tisfactory.
When I mentioned his majesty’s liberal views upon that
point, the secretary of stete informed me, that it would be
highly satisfactory ifthe offer was expressed in general terms,
although tbegoverument never meant t* accept the provision
tendered, but would acknowledge the liberality of his majes
ty, when they might hereafter decline to avail themselve.of
it, but that if it wasputupon the footing of spontaneous gene
rosity, it would not be at all acceptable to the United States

Mr. F.:skine appears to have -anticipated that

EXTRACT OP A LETTER.
“ Gottenburg, May 23—28.
This place is so completely overstocked with
those articles (colonial and American produce) that
speculators are afraid to make an offer; and an
Order of Council prohibiting all vessels (Americans
alone excepted) from eiUeriug or leaving Swedish
ports, with a British licence, has put an end to en
terprise of every kind, and a perfect stagnation of
business is the consequence. This measore of the
British has been produced by the Swedes excluding
British vessels from their ports since the 24th of
April.
“ Admiral J.Ssuroare* has at the entraoce of
this harbour, in the Victory, and eight other ships
of the line, several frigates, and a large convoy of
merchant vessels from England bound up the
Baltic.
“ An express was sent to the admiral with the
following question : ** If American vessels, carry
ing their own produce either direct from America of
from hence, were likewise subject to such licen
ses f* To whiJkhe returned this answer in writing:
•* I have to inform yon, that 1 conceive the regula
tions were meant to include all vessrte indiscrimi
nately, and that Americans should be provided
with licenses." Thus the ports in the Ikdtick,
eastward of the Scaw and the Naze of Noffcay,
may be considered in a state of blockade. The
news ie in a crude state, and undigested as yet, and
every person at a loss. Some conference amongst
Americans, will no doubt soon take place, as
there are a number of vessels prepared to sail high
er up, and stopped in consequence of tbc late in
formation from the admiral. 4?
“ 1 have (bis afternoon, (28th) read a letter from

decree of Buonaparte’s has been published, which
confiscates all American property imported intu
France and her dependencies, since 20th May,
