Important Documents, WHICH ACCOMPANIED THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE OF THE 29TH ULT.
Mr. Jackson's letter to Mr. Smith concluded from the supplement of last week.
If any American vessels had sailed from America for Holland in time of profound peace, or in time of war, the ports of Holland not being at the date of sailing under blockade, it might yet have happened that, in the period between the commencement of such voyage and the arrival of the vessel at the port of destination, a blockade might have been established before that port. The vessel arriving would in case, have been warned not to enter the port, and would have been turned away with the loss of the whole object of the voyage. This would be no extraordinary hardship, and would afford no legitimate ground of complaint.
The order in Council is far less strict than such a blockade would be, forasmuch as it provides for the original voyage, commenced in expectation of being admitted to the port of destination, by permitting the entry into the ports of Holland; and it is no just ground of complaint, that it does not superadd to that permission the liberty to re-export a cargo of the enemy's goods or produce.
I beg leave briefly to recapitulate the substance of what I have had the honor to convey to you as well in a verbal, as in written communications.
I have informed you of the reasons of His Majesty's disavowal of the agreement so often mentioned; I have shown them, in obedience to the authority which you have quoted, to be both strong and solid, and such as to outweigh in the judgement of His Majesty's government every other consideration which you have contemplated; I have shown that agreement was not concluded in virtue of a full power, and that the instructions, given on the occasion, were violated.
Beyond this point of explanation which was supposed to have been attained, but which is now given, by the present letter, in the form understood to be most agreeable to the American government, my instructions are prospective; they look to substituting for notions of good understanding, erroneously entertained, practical stipulations, on which a real reconciliation of all differences may be substantially founded; and they authorise me, not to renew proposals which have already been declared here to be unacceptable, but to receive and discuss any proposals made on the part of the U. States, and eventually to conclude a convention between the two countries. It is not, of course intended to call upon me to state as a preliminary to negotiation, what is the whole extent of those instructions; they must, as I have before said, remain subject to my own discretion until I am enabled to apply them to the overtures, which I may have the honor of receiving from you.
I have the honor to be, with great respect, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, F. J. JACKSON. The Hon. Robert Smith, Sec. of the Navy.
MR. JACKSON TO MR. SMITH. Washington, 27th October, 1809.
Sir—Finding by your letter of the 19th inst. that notwithstanding the frequent statements made by me in our conferences of the terms of satisfaction which I am empowered to offer this country for the unauthorised attack made by one of His Majesty's ships of war upon the frigate of the United States, the Chesapeake, I have not had the good fortune to make myself distinctly understood by you. I have the honor to inclose here with a paper of memoranda containing the conditions on the basis of which I am ready to proceed to draw up with you the necessary official documents in the form proposed in my letter of the 11th inst. or in any other form upon which we may hereafter agree.
I have the honor to be, with great respect, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, F. J. JACKSON. The Hon. Robert Smith, Sec. of the Navy.
PROPOSITIONS Offered by Mr. Jackson to Mr. Smith. The President's Proclamation of July, 1807, prohibiting the British ships of war the entrance into the Harbors of the United States, having been annulled, His Majesty is willing to restore the seamen taken out of the Chesapeake on referring to himself a right to claim, in a regular way, by application to the American Government, the discharge of such of them (if any) as shall be proved to be either natural born subjects of his Majesty, or deserters from his Majesty's service.
His Majesty is willing to make a provision for the families of such men as were slain on board the Chesapeake, in consequence of the unauthorised attack upon that frigate, provided that such bounty shall not be extended to the family of any man who
shall have been either a natural born subject of His Majesty, or a deserter from His Majesty's service.
MR. SMITH TO MR. JACKSON. Department of State, Nov. 1, 1809.
Sir, Your letter of the 23d ult. which was duly received, would have been sooner acknowledged had I not by sickness been rendered for several days utterly unfit for business.
Although the delay and the apparent reluctance in specifying the grounds of the disavowal of the arrangement with respect to the orders in council, do not correspond with the course of proceeding deemed most becoming the occasion; yet as the explanation has at length been thus made, it only remains, as to that part of the disavowed arrangement, to regret that such considerations should have been allowed to outweigh, the solid objections to the disavowal; it being understood at the same time that his Britannic Majesty perseveres in requiring as indispensable conditions on the part of the United States, an entire relinquishment of the right to trade with enemies colonies, and also permission to the British navy to aid in executing a law of Congress; pretensions, which cannot but render abortive all proposals whatever upon this subject, whether made by the United States or his Britannic Majesty.
Whilst you have deemed it proper to offer an explanation with respect to the disavowal of our part of the arrangement. I must remind you that there is not to be found in your letter any like specification of the reasons for the disavowal, nor particularly is it shown that instructions were violated, as to the other part, viz. the case of the Chesapeake; the case in which in an especial manner an explanation was required and in which only you professed to have authority to make to this government any overtures.
For the first time it is now disclosed that the subjects, arranged with this government by your predecessors, are held not to be within the authority of a Minister Plenipotentiary, and that, not having had a "full power distinctly from that authority, his transactions on those subjects might of right be disavowed by his government." This disclosure, so contrary to every antecedent supposition and just inference, gives a new aspect to this business. If the authority of your predecessor did not embrace the subjects in question, so as to bind his government, it necessarily follows, that the only credentials yet presented by you being the same with those presented by him, give you no authority to bind it, and that the exhibition of a "full power" for that purpose, such as you doubtless are furnished with, is become an indispensable preliminary to further negotiation; or, to speak more strictly, was required in the first instance by the view of the matter now disclosed by you. Negotiation without this preliminary would not only be a departure from the principle of equality which is the essential basis of it, but would moreover be a disregard of the precautions and of the self respect enjoined on the attention of the United States by the circumstances which have hitherto taken place.
I need scarcely add, that in the full power alluded to, as a preliminary to negotiation, is not intended to be included either the whole extent or any part of your instructions for the exercise of it. These of course, as you have justly remarked, remain subject to your own discretion.
I abstain, Sir, from making any particular animadversions on several irrelevant and improper allusions in your letter, not at all comporting with the professed disposition to adjust in an amicable manner the differences unhappily subsisting between the two countries. But it would be improper to conclude the few observations to which I purposely limit myself, without advertising to your repetition of a language implying a knowledge on the part of this government that the instructions of your predecessor did not authorise the arrangement formed by him. After the explicit and peremptory asseveration that this government had no such knowledge, and that with such a knowledge no such arrangement would have been entered into, the view, which you have again presented of the subject, makes it my duty to apprise you, that such insinuations are inadmissible in the intercourse of a foreign minister with a government that understands what it owes to itself.
I have the honor to be, &c. (Signed) R. SMITH. The Hon. F. J. Jackson, Sec. of the Navy.
MR. JACKSON TO MR. SMITH. Washington 4th Nov. 1809.
Sir—When I forwarded to my court your letter of the 19th ultimo, and the answer which I returned to it, I imagined, and I may add, I hoped, that the retrospective correspondence, into which you thought it necessary to enter with me
had been closed. You will, no doubt, recollect with what reluctance I acquiesced in your intimation on this head; not, as I believe has been seen, from any difficulty in maintaining the justice of the cause which is entrusted to me, but because I was and still am of opinion that this sort of correspondence is not calculated to remove differences and soothe the irritations of the most unfortunate tendency. As however I had no choice but to renounce, for the present, the hope of effectuating this desirable object, or to pursue it in the manner prescribed in your letter of the 9th ultimo, so I am now unwillingly compelled to enter upon the consideration of another letter from you under date of the 1st inst., which but too strongly confirms the opinion I before entertained.
Since, Sir, it has been judged expedient to confine to a written form this important and interesting discussion; since that mode has been declared by you to be indispensable, I will first appeal to the written communications which have passed between us; and I do this with the greater satisfaction, because I consider it to be the chief cause of the present remarkable state of things, that in speaking of engagements contracted or supposed to have been contracted between the two countries, understandings or implied engagements have been allowed to take place of written compacts, and have been considered in some instances as having the same validity. It is further more necessary to place, in the most unequivocal light, a topic, which I observed in your letters not withstanding the repeated, but as it should seem fruitless endeavors used in mine, to clear it from the slightest shadow of obscurity.
You say "that it is understood that his Britannic Majesty perseveres in requiring as indispensable conditions on the part of the United States, an entire relinquishment of the right to trade with the enemies' colonies, and also a permission to the British navy, to aid in executing a law of Congress."
This same statement is contained in your letter of the 9th inst., and represented as the substance of what had fallen from me in our previous conferences. In my answer to that letter, I took the liberty of showing that such a supposition was erroneous and I have looked in vain to my letter of the 23d, to find in it any suggestion of a similar tenor. I believe, therefore, that by reference to my two letters you will find, that the statement now again brought forward is contained in neither of them, that it made no part of my previous conversations with you, and that I have in no way given room to suppose that I ever made any such statement at all.
That before the orders in council can be revoked, their object must be obtained in some other way, is unquestionably true—but you may be assured, Sir, that there is no wish whatever entertained in England, that the British Navy should be employed in executing a law of Congress. If the proposal that was made upon that subject, and made as you know, because it was believed to be acceptable here, had been adopted, and had become a matter of compact between the two countries and thereby a part not of the law of Congress, but of the public law binding upon both parties, and which both would have had a common interest in seeing duly executed—in that case the agency of the British navy would not have had the invidious aspect which is now attempted to be given to it. At present there is no engagement between the two countries, no laws of Congress which bear a reference to any such engagement, and consequent y. it cannot be wished to make any share whatever in the execution of those laws.
In regard to the colonial trade, I need only observe, that all or nearly all the enemies' colonies are blockaded by British squadrons—it cannot therefore be so much an object of solicitude as you imagine, to obtain the relinquishment of the trade of any country to those colonies. On the contrary you will find it stated in my letter of the 11th ultimo, to be a "matter of indifference whether the order in council" (on this subject) "be continued or an arrangement by mutual consent substituted in its room."
When I informed you that the agreement concluded here in April last had been framed in deviation from the instructions given for the occasion, my explanation was intended to apply to both parts of that agreement. That nothing required by the most scrupulous accuracy, may be wanting, I now add, that the deviations consisted in not recording in the official document signed here, the abrogation of the President's Proclamation of the 2d July 1807, as well as the two references to the memoranda enclosed in my official letter to you of the 27th ultimo.
There is another motive for the disavowal of this part of the arrangement, considered to be so front and so self-evident upon the very face of the transaction, that I am not commanded to do more than indicate it in the manner I have already done—By this forbearance, his Majesty conceives that he is giving an additional pledge of his sincere disposition to maintain a good understanding with the U. States.
I am somewhat at a loss to give a distinct reply to that part of your letter which relates to Mr. Erskine's authority to conclude with you in virtue of his general letter of credence—because I do not very distinctly understand the tendency of it. I never before heard it doubted that a full power was requested to enable a minister to conclude a treaty, or that a mere general letter of credence was insufficient for that purpose.
If it were otherwise, and a government were in all cases to be bound by the act, however unauthorised, of an accredited Minister, there would be no safety in the appointment of such a Minister, and ratifications would be useless—No full powers was given in the present case, because it was not atreaty but, the materials for forming a treaty that was in contemplation.
In his dispatch of the 23d of Jan. Mr. Secretary Canning distinctly says to Mr. Erskine—Upon receiving through you "on the part of the American government a distinct and official recognition of the three abovementioned conditions, his Majesty will lose no time in sending to America a minister fully empowered to confer with them to a formal and regular treaty."
This Minister would, of course, have been provided with a full power; but Mr. Erskine was to be guided by his instructions, and had the agreement concluded here been conformable to them, it would without doubt
have been ratified by his Majesty. I must beg you very particular attention to the circumstance that his Majesty's ratification has been withheld, not because the agreement was concluded without a full power, but because it was altogether irreconcilable to the instructions on which it was professedly founded. The question of the full power was introduced by yourself to give weight by a quotation from a highly respected author, to your complaint of the disavowal, in answer to which I observed that the quotation did not apply, as Mr. Erskine had no full power. Never did I imagine, or any where attempt to rest the right of disavowal upon that circumstance; indubitably his agreement would, nevertheless, have been ratified, had not the instructions, which in this case took the place of a full power, been violated.
I am surprised at the transition by which it appears to you that this part of the subject is connected with the authority empowering me to negotiate with you. It will not, I dare say, have escaped your recollection that I informed you at a very early period of our communications, that in addition to the usual credential letter his Majesty had been pleased to invest me with full power under the great seal of his kingdom, for the express purpose of concluding a treaty or convention. I well remember your testifying your satisfaction at the circumstance; and I have only now to add, that I am ready, whenever it suits your convenience to exchange my full power against that with which you shall be provided, for the progress of our negotiation.
I am concerned, Sir, to be obliged a second time to appeal to those principles of public law under the sanction and protection of which I was sent to this country. Where there is not freedom of communication in the form substituted for the more usual one of verbal discussion, there can be little useful intercourse between Ministers; and one, at least, of the epithets which you have thought proper to apply to my last letter is such that necessarily abridges that freedom. That any thing therein contained may be irrelevant to the subject it is of course competent in you to endeavor to shew, and as far as you succeed in so doing, in so far will my argument lose of its validity—but as to the propriety of my allusions, you must allow me to acknowledge only the decision of my own sovereign, whose commands I obey, and to whom alone I can consider myself responsible. Beyond this it suffices that I do not deviate from the respect due to the government to which I am accredited.
You will find that in my correspondence with you, I have carefully avoided drawing conclusions that did not necessarily follow from the premises advanced by me, and least of all should I think of uttering an insinuation where I was unable to substantiate a fact. To facts, such as I have become acquainted with them, I have scrupulously adhered, and in so doing I must continue, whenever the good faith of his Majesty's government is called in question, to vindicate its honor and dignity in the manner that appears to me best calculated for that purpose.
I have the Honor to be with great respect, Sir, your most obedient, humble servant, F. J. JACKSON. The Honorable R. Smith, Sec. of the Navy.
MR. SMITH TO MR. JACKSON. Department of State, November 8, 1809.
Sir—In my letter of the 19th ult. I stated to you that the deceleration in your letter of the 11th, that the despatch "from Mr. Canning to Mr. Erskine of the 23d of Jan. was the only despatch by which the conditions were prescribed to Mr. Erskine, for the conclusion of an arrangement on the matter to which it related, was then "for the first time made to this government." And it was added, that if that despatch had been communicated, at the time of the arrangement, or if it had been known that the propositions contained in it were the only ones on which he was authorized to make an arrangement, the arrangement would not have been made.
In my letter of the 1st inst. advertising to the repetition in your letter of the 23d ult. of a language implying a knowledge, in this government that the instructions of your predecessor did not authorise the arrangement formed by him, an intimation was distinctly given to you that after the explicit and peremptory asseveration that this government had no such knowledge, and that with such a knowledge such arrangement would not have been made, no such insinuation could be admitted by this government.
Finding that in your reply of the 4th inst. you have used a language which cannot be understood but as reiterating and even aggravating the same gross insinuation, it only remains, in order to preclude opportunities which are thus abused, to inform you that no further communications will be received from you, and that the necessity of this determination will, without delay be made known to your government. In the mean time a ready attention will be given to any communication affecting the interests of the two nations through any other channel that may be substituted.
I have the honor to be, &c. (Signed) R. SMITH. The Hon. Francis James Jackson, Sec. of the Navy. (Documents to be continued)
[From one of our Correspondents in the East.]
MR. HILL, Last Sunday I had the pleasure of hearing a very worthy and celebrated preacher read the Governor's "Proclamation for a day of Public Thanksgiving and Praise." After reading it he stood for a moment in silence, and then with an eloquence not unbecoming a Cicero, exclaimed—"My hearers! we are told neither to add to, nor take from the Scriptures; but I presume it will not be blasphemy if I add to this Proclamation—Let us pray for the health and life of the President of these United States!" N. H. Patriot.
A duel took place yesterday morning at Washington, between Mr. Joseph Pierson of North Carolina, and Mr. J. G. Jackson of Virginia, both members of the National Legislature. On the second fire Mr. Jackson received Mr. Pierson's shot in his body and fell. It is feared the wound will prove mortal. Mr. P. was not hurt.
Eleventh Congress.
IN SENATE—Nov. 30.
FOREIGN RELATIONS. Mr. Giles submitted the following motion:—Resolved, That so much of the President's Message as respects the relations existing between the United States and Great Britain and France, with the accompanying documents, to be referred to a select committee, with instructions to examine the same, and report thereon to the Senate, and that the Committee have leave to report by bill, or bills or otherwise.
FRIDAY, DEC. 1.—The resolution yesterday submitted by Mr. Giles, was agreed to; and Messrs. Giles, Pope, Bradley, Goodrich, Leib, Sumpner, and Gilman were appointed a committee in pursuance thereof.
On motion of Mr. Leib, Resolved, That so much of the President's message as relates to an efficient organization of the militia of the United States be referred to a select committee with leave to report by bill or otherwise.
MONDAY, DEC. 4. Mr. Pope offered the following resolution, prefacing it by observing that in several courts of the United States business had been interrupted and delayed in consequence of the age and infirmities of the judges presiding in them. At the last session of Congress an attempt had been made to permit the retirement of judges from the bench with a small compensation; but it appeared that there could be no other remedy for the evil but an amendment to the constitution. He had therefore been induced to make the motion, which was loudly called for by the existing state of things.
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, two thirds of both houses concurring. That the following section be submitted to the Legislatures of the several states, which when ratified and confirmed by the Legislatures of three fourths of the states shall be valid and binding as a part of the constitution of the United States, in lieu of the first section of the third article thereof.
The judicial power of the United States shall be vested in one supreme court and in such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The judges both of the supreme and inferior courts shall hold their offices during good behaviour or until they have respectively attained the age of sixty-five years. But for any reasonable cause which shall not be sufficient ground for impeachment, the President shall remove any of them on the address of each house of Congress; provided however, that the cause or causes for which such removal may be required, shall be stated in such address or on the journal of each house. They shall at stated times receive for their services an adequate compensation to be fixed by law.
TUESDAY, DEC. 5.—Mr. Giles, from the committee appointed on the first inst. reported, in part the following resolution; which was read the first time and passed to the second reading.
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the expressions contained in the official letter of Francis James Jackson, Minister Plenipotentiary of his Britannic majesty near the United States, dated the 23d day of October, 1809, and addressed to Mr. Smith, Secretary of State, conveying the idea that the executive government of the United States had a knowledge that the arrangement lately made by Mr. Erskine, his predecessor, on behalf of his government, with the government of the United States, was entered into without competent powers on the part of Mr. Erskine for that purpose, were highly indecorous and insolent; that the repetition of the same intimation in his official letter dated the 4th of Nov. 1809, after he was apprised by the asseveration of the Secretary of State that the executive government had no such knowledge, and that if it had possessed such knowledge, such arrangement would not have been entered into on the part of the United States, and after also being officially apprised that such intimation was inadmissible; was still more insolent and affronting; and that in refusing to receive any more communications from him in consequence of these outrageous and premeditated insults, the executive government has manifested a just regard to its own dignity and honor as well as to the character and interest of the American people.
"That the letter signed Francis J. Jackson headed "Circular" dated the 13th of November, 1809, and published and circulated through the country, is a still more direct and aggravated insult and affront to the American people and their government, as it is evidently an insidious attempt to excite their resentments and distrusts against their own government by appealing to them, through false or fallacious disguises, against some of its acts; and to excite resentments and divisions amongst the people themselves which can only be dishonorable to their own characters and ruinous to their own interests; and the Congress of the U. States do hereby solemnly pledge themselves to the American people and to the world to stand by and support the executive government in its refusal to receive any further communications from the said Francis J. Jackson, and to call into action the whole force of the nation if it should become necessary in consequence of the conduct of the Executive government in this respect, to repeal such insults and to assert and maintain the rights, the honor, and the interests of the United States."
Mr. Giles from the same committee, also reported the following bill, which was read and passed to a second reading.
A bill to prevent the abuse of the privileges and immunities enjoyed by foreign Ministers within the United States.
"Be it enacted &c. That if any foreign ambassador, minister or other person, entitled to enjoy within the U. S. the privileges and immunities of a foreign minister, shall have committed, or may hereafter commit, any such acts as by the laws & usages of nations would justify the President of the United States in ordering such offending ambassador, minister or other person as aforesaid out of the District of Columbia or out of the territories of the United States; or in sending him home to his sovereign, or to some place or territory within his sovereign's jurisdiction; in every such case where the President of the United States shall deem it proper and expedient to exercise his contorted authority, in either of these respects he shall be, and is hereby authorised

empowered to cause a warrant to be issued and signed by the Secretary of State, directed to any civil officer of the U. States authorized to serve process, or any military officer under the authority of the United States, commanding him to provide for and enforce the departure of such am-bassador, minister or other person offending as aforesaid, taking due precautions to avoid improper or unnecessary violence in executing such warrant. And all officers civil and military, under the authority of the United States are hereby required and enjoined to be obedient to such warrant. And in case any officer, civil or military, to whom such warrant shall be directed, shall fail, refuse or unreasonably delay to execute the same, every officer so offending shall be deemed guilty of a high misdemeanor, and shall be punished by fine and imprisonment before any court of the United States having cognizance of the offence. Provided, that the fine shall not exceed dollars, nor the imprisonment be for a longer time than years."
Mr. Giles gave notice that he should call for the consideration of his subject on Thursday.
House of Representatives.
FRIDAY, DEC. 1, 1809.
Mr. Macon, after a few remarks, moved, That the proper Committee be instructed to report on the expediency of prohibiting the entry of any vessel into the U. S. from any port to which American vessels are not admitted by permanent regulations, or by treaty: And also,
To enquire into the expediency of authorizing the re-registering anew of all American built and owned vessels, notwithstanding any incurred disability; and also of forbidding sea-letters, or any documents being granted to vessels not registered or licenced, or armed by American citizens.
After a few observations from Mr. Dana, who "was extremely glad the motions had been brought forward, and particularly that they had been introduced by a gentleman so well qualified to sustain them by his character and talents;" they were committed to the Committee of Commerce &c.
Mr. Dana, after observing that if a vessel of the U. S. was to be considered a "floating colony," he did not wish it to be a colony of foreigners;—submitted a resolution viz
Resolved, That for the benefit of seamen of the United States it is proper to make provision, that re-registered ships or vessels, after a time to be limited by law, shall not continue to enjoy the benefits or privileges appertaining to ships or vessels of the United States, unless a certain proportion of the mariners on board the same shall be citizens of the United States. Committed to the above Committee.
Portsmouth.
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1809.
TO THE PUBLIC.
Finding that attempts are making, from various sources, and for various purposes, to impress the public with a belief, that the N. H. GAZETTE would abandon the ground it has heretofore maintained, and espouse the cause of the opposition to our government, I deem it a duty I owe to myself and the public to correct such an erroneous impression, and to declare explicitly, that, believing, as I sincerely do, that the measures of the administration have been adopted with the purest views to the public welfare, and to maintain the dignity and rights of the American republic, the Gazette will be unswervingly devoted to vindicate the present administration of the National Government; and that it will support, with all its influence, the State Nomination, which has already been announced in this paper—and canvass the pretensions of the opposition candidates with that freedom which is the prerogative of a FREE PRESS in a FREE COUNTRY.
The federal editors seem perfectly agreed that the American government is the most corrupt and depraved, and the British the most pure and honorable of any on earth.—They assert that government made the arrangement with Mr. Erskine with a full knowledge that it would not be ratified, that a pretext might be found to produce an irreconcilable breach between the U. States and Britain—and that finding this had not answered that purpose, they sought the rupture with Jackson with a view to the same result. It would be well for these gentlemen to look back a little.—When government accepted the propositions Mr. Erskine laid he was authorized to make, federalists asserted that England made the same offers by Mr. Rose, but they were then refused. Subsequent events have established the falsehood of the assertion—for when an arrangement had been grounded on them, it was insultingly flung in our face, with a declaration that such an arrangement was unauthorized. However cruel it might be thus to give the lie direct to their friends in this country, their hopes of success on the continent of Europe more than counterbalanced their expectation from the latter, and they were abandoned to the expedients of their own ingenuity to extricate themselves from difficulties into which their own folly had involved them.
For a short time after it was known that the accommodation of April was refused by the British Cabinet, federalists had full employment to calumniate our administration; but having somewhat exhausted the subject, Mr. Erskine, though an Englishman, comes in for a share of their abuse—and for what? why for no other reason than because he did not assume the same haughty and insolent tone that Jackson has done, and insult the government on the very threshold of negotiation. The fashion were struck to the heart when they perceived prospects of reconciliation with Britain on terms honorable to this country; having always vindicated the aggressions of Britain, they feared that when the proffered reparation for injuries her spirits were drooping—and as they knew that fraud and oppression had been the chief means of her existence for a long period, they apprehended that a returning sense of justice might produce consequences fatal to their hopes. Erskine's mission was never very grateful to them—he did not assume the high ground they had predicted England would take, and they were full of the spirit of Jonah, when the threatened vengeance against Nineveh was repented.
But when it was announced that Jackson was appointed as successor to Mr. Erskine, the gloom was dissipated—the hopes of the British party revived. The high ground taken by him in his mission to Denmark, was a
warrant that he would not tarnish the honor of the British name, by basely descending to listen to the demands of justice set up by the American government. With the view of the conflagration of Copenhagen, and the indiscriminate slaughter of men, women and children, lipping infancy and feeble age, yet fresh in his recollection, he came flushed with the prospect of a result not less glorious to his country, and honorable to himself.—But why did he not bring the fleet with him to give efficacy to his negotiation? Probably he had read the American opposition papers and imagined he should find the British party sufficiently powerful to awe the government and effect his purpose. With a previous knowledge of his character, and the honors he had acquired in diplomacy, Jackson was hailed by federalists as the messenger of peace—had letters of introduction to Gov. Gore of Massachusetts, (probably on the credit of his celebrated War Report) and other conspicuous characters in the United States, and for a short period nothing appeared to damp his hopes of accomplishing the ulterior object of every British mission to this country.—But the firmness of government, has frustrated British intrigue, and the fidelity of the people will silence the voice of faction.
It is quite amusing to see the different attitudes assumed by the Federalists at this day, advancing and retreating catching at straws, pleased with a shadow, and at the end of every sentence some forced apology for the British!—The Embargo was a wicked measure; it was not only unconstitutional, but ruinous to the nation. Popular prejudice was excited, and this State threatened with a Revolution.—Now Mr. Rose makes his appearance, and what did he offer us? Why if you will give his Majesty your Coat he will then graciously be pleased to inform you whether he should exact the Cloak also. This was a way of making bargains, which our government did not understand or approve. Mr. Erskine next produces his budget, and made some propositions fairly and like a man. They were no sooner made than accepted by our government. What is the next Federal hue and cry? Why, to be sure, these are the very terms we might have had a year before, but that monster of a Jefferson would not accept them! But what followed? Why, the next news we received from that pious and amiable minister of his most sacred majesty, was a total and point blank denial of any instructions to Erskine of that nature; they never had acceded to such conditions, and never would! Poor Federalism plump in the mud! It was silent for a considerable time, when the columns of their papers began to be filled with, Mr. Jackson is coming; wait with patience, he will make all right. The great man arrives, and after a few weeks very modestly commences his pacific negotiation by telling our government they lie two or three times, and was very modestly and properly dismissed. What now? Wait, gentlemen, with patience until the correspondence is published, perhaps he did not tell them they lied. And all this without any partiality for the British government. It reminds me of a paragraph I was lately reading in one of their papers, it appeared to be the Advertisement of a Barber stating what beautiful things he could make, such as Bob Wigs, Brizzetts, &c. &c. And what do you think he stated farther, why, no more nor less than they were made of BRITISH HAIR. Wonderful! Perhaps some locks of Canning's hair. It must be an object to procure one of those fine things for the Head; but I should recommend them in particular for the home department, for were they to detect you on the high seas with a lock of Canning's hair in a Bob Wig, you would be claimed (and not with the slightest pretence) as a subject of his most Gracious Majesty and immediately impressed to serve on board the British navy with thousands of his Countrymen. Pitts, Sun.
All the evils and embarrassments experienced by our country, may be fairly attributed to a set of desperate and unprincipled men who have opposed and as far as in their power, thwarted the most wise and salutary measures of our own government; and encouraged, and as far as they dare, applauded, the aggression and outrages of foreign governments on our rights and interests.
"On these the false Achitophel was first, A name to all succeeding ages curst: For close designs and crooked counsels fit Sagacious, bold and turbulent of wit; Restless, unfixed in principles and place, In power unpleas'd, impatient of disgrace; In friendship false, implacable in hate, Resolv'd to ruin, or to rule the state."
These men have pursued foreign powers, as well by their acts as their language that the Americans were a divided people, and those powers, knowing that "house divided against itself cannot stand," have therefore calculated upon our downfall, and endeavored to accelerate it.
Had all the parties, when they saw our independence assured, our rights trampled upon, our property despoiled, and our citizens, some massacred and others forced into a hated service, by foreign nations, rallied unitedly and spiritedly round their own government, and remonstrated firmly and unanimously against those depredations, our wrongs would have been redressed and our rights established long before now. But while our people are divided, and our government, opposed, at home, we may look for a continuance of the injustice and injuries of foreign governments. While our union would discourage all hopes & defeat all attacks upon us—our divisions inflame their expectations and assist their attempts.
Trenton T. American. We have completed in this day's paper, the publication of the Correspondence between our government and Mr. Jackson. This correspondence presents a view of the haughty and inadmissible claims and studied insults of Great Britain, which oppose themselves at present to a friendly intercourse between the two nations. These Documents are now before the American people, and will, probably, soon be published in England, where they will urge their strong appeal to the high sense of justice and honor
which exists in the body of that misguided nation. The result will shortly show to the world that the most persevering, base and desperate advocates of her desperate ministry are to be found in N. England. From those advocates we hear much of the fears and the horrors of war—in such an event they have reason to fear—in such a cause we may speak with boldness, and say to England if you can, you will not, and if you will, you cannot, prosecute a successful war with America. [Boston Patriot.]
A YANKEE TRICK!
On Saturday last, arrived here brig Henry, commanded by capt. S. R. M'Lellan, who failed from Martinico, Nov. 5, having on board a valuable cargo of Molasses, for this port. On the following day, he was captured by a French privateer, from Guadalupe, who, after taking out the ship's stores and every other article but the cargo, put on board the Henry a Prize Master and four seamen and ordered the brig for St. Martins, leaving of the brig's crew on board, only the captain and cook, (a black man.) Captain M'Lellan, whilst his vessel was in possession of the French, proposed to the cook to assist him in retaking her, should an opportunity offer, to which he assented. On the evening of the 10th, when the hands were employed forward in tacking ship, capt. M'L. by a signal directed the cook to secure the Prize Master, whilst he at the same time knocked down the helm-ship. The Prize Master escaped forward, and captain M'L. having procured a loaded musket succeeded in driving the Frenchmen down the fore-castle, & took possession of his vessel without taking the life of any one. Capt. M'Lellan then made for St. Christopher's, and in two days arrived but the government refusing permission to land the Frenchmen, capt. M'Lellan, after having procured a crew, failed, and after clearing the harbour, gave the boat to his French "friends," wishing them a good landing.
Two days after leaving St. Christopher's, captain M'Lellan was a second time boarded and taken possession of by a French privateer. But fortunately a British sloop of War heaving in sight, the Frenchmen made sail and permitted the Henry to proceed on her voyage without further molestation. [Portland Gazette.]
It is now certain that Peace was signed between France and Austria, on the 14th of October last.
Extract of a letter from Dublin, dated Nov. 7.
"Since writing my letter the Packet has brought an account that an order in council is expected to appear immediately in the Gazette, prohibiting the landing of American produce that has been landed or Warehoused in any place since they left America, except from British ships or American ships with British licence. This seems intended to drive you to your Embargo, which from experience, it is expected you cannot maintain."
THE MINUTES
Taken at the several conferences of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the United States of America for the year 1809, exhibit their number and increase in the following order:
   Whites. Colored.     Western Conference, 17931 1157   Southern do 16344 638   Virginia do 18502 5739   Baltimore do 19272 7200   Philadelphia do 26365 10634   New York do 22717 937   N.

Nearly eighty years have rolled by since the Rev. John Wesley, his brother and a few others, who were then students in the university of Oxford, incurred the appellation of Methodists, in consequence of their abstemious, orderly methodical and devotional habits. But neither the scoffs, nor scoffs, nor ridicule, nor persecution of the proud, vain and licentious, could divert this noble, illustrious, and resolute phalanx from that line of duty which they had resolved to pursue.
Their habits and principles have in so short a space of time spread over all christendom, and notwithstanding they have been opposed step by step by persecutors, and their downfall has been predicted at all times and in all places, they have grown with great strength both in Europe and America.
