Address of Mr. Custis, TO THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES. [CONTINUED.]
In times of maritime warfare, a large and very useful part of our community, become either liable to be seized and pressed into a foreign service, or obliged to remain and starve at home. Were a spirit of manufacture existing to a liberal degree, a great proportion of these useful and meritorious class of citizens, would either be engaged in the works, or transporting their produce on our and various inland waters. The mechanic also, a no less useful member of society, will want the materials of his art, if there is no intercourse with abroad, and no manufactures at home. And last, not least, the agriculturist comprising by far the greatest proportion, of the population of all countries, must want the reward of his toil, if no manufactures demand his produce.
The boundless tracts of southern country, devoted to the production of cotton, imperiously demands the labor of machinery, and skill, to convert this valuable article into use. And ere long, it may be hoped the improvements in wool, will alike call for manufacturing aid to convert its staple into common use.
No country was ever more liberally gifted by nature with sites for manufactories, the streams possessing sufficient planes of waters to force the wheels of any works. The elevated situations where the winds could be called in to aid the labor for the public good, and the vast forests which would contribute the steam, so necessary and useful in modern improvements.
I trust the genius of our countrymen will not be found wanting, in aid of this great undertaking, as the various models which the office of state is daily patronizing and will justly shew.
In the event of an establishment of manufactures, new discoveries will daily be made, and thus a vast school of useful improvement established, new treasures, now hidden in the bowels of the earth, will daily see the light, and new systems be the result of these increased means of knowledge. Europe may soon learn to respect our genius, our industry, and our patriotism; and no longer believe that we are to derive from her alone, those gifts which Providence has placed within our reach, and intended for our use. No fears need be entertained of want of Market, for the fabrics which we may form. In the revolutions of empire which almost daily occur, new marts will always be afforded, and those countries which are suffering the scourge of war, must look to the peaceful regions of industry, for a supply of their wants.
Necessity which is termed the mother of invention, will certainly aid our offset into a manufacturing life, and supply in many cases, the knowledge derived from years of study and improvement. Our necessities during the revolutionary war, supplied many wants which at first appeared far beyond our reach. In that holy cause we put our trust in him, who alike visits with his divine protection, the most worthy, and nobly overcame every obstacle to freedom. Let us my fellow-citizens but exert a small share of our fortitude, and perseverance, and we shall alike remove all impediments to manufacturing importance.
Is it not a reflection that even the flag of our country is made of foreign manufacture, and our legislators and patriots, while delivering the most dignified and national sentiments are clothed in the produce of a foreign land? It is—We shall ever bear a secondary grade, in the rank of nations if we are not independent of all—We shall ever feel our insignificance, if we are dependent on others for what we most want, and what we can best supply—Among the many systems whose effects result in happiness to mankind, that in which a due employment is given to every class of society, is the best: for idleness being the source of national as well as individual evil, injures the state as much as it does the man. Every citizen, owes to his country certain duties, such as he can best perform, within the compass of his knowledge or ability, and the due performance of these duties will always give wealth and happiness to the people and greatness to the state. Well may England boast her high standing among the nations of the world. Remember the WOOLSACK is the seat of Justice, in the highest tribunal of the empire; this is justly considered the throne on which her power should sit, and is at once the basis of the peoples' wealth and nations' greatness. United with republican virtue may honest industry form the Woolsack of American power, and the nation be great and happy in the wisdom of her laws, and her benevolent institutes for the public good.
Possessing these sentiments my fellow citizens, and having ever been taught the lesson of duty, which every man owes to the community of which he is a member, I some years since made an humble effort in the cause of agriculture & domestic economy, by proposing an annual premium for the finest race of sheep. Happily my endeavors have been crowned with very much success, and I shall have the superior luxury of presenting
to my country, and the world, a very capital improvement in this truly valuable race of animals. The success of these early efforts will by no means relax my zeal in the cause, but serve as a stimulus to further exertion.—The dominant state of improvement in the rearing of useful animals, is much to be attributed to the languor of improvement, and the rage of commercial and landed speculation. Unhappily all improvements in the useful pursuits of domestic life, must give way to the overwhelming torrents of prejudice, and the easy manner in which fortunes are sometimes made by great strokes of genius in the science of contracts, leaves the more steady and useful, and at the same time certain method of rural aggrandizement, to toil its way to wealth. The deficiency in knowledge and experience, under which this country at present labours, can only be supplied by great energy and experiment of its citizens, and proofs of a small portion, having been attended with beneficial effects will I trust be shewn to my country and the world.

Accompanying the Message of the President of March 22, 1808.
[CONTINUED.]
(Mr. Monroe's Letter concluded)
In aid of those reasons which were applicable to the merits of the question, I urged the example given by the late ministry, in the paper of Nov. 8th, presented to Mr. Pinkney and myself, by the British commissioners, which had, as I thought, laid the foundation of such an arrangement. I stated that it was stipulated by that paper, that the negotiation should be kept open for the purpose of arranging this great interest, without prejudice to the rights of either power, it was fairly to be understood as the sense of both parties, that our rights were to be respected, till that arrangement was concluded; whence it would follow that the same effect would be produced in practice, as if it had been provided for by treaty. I relied on this paper and the construction which I thought it admitted, with which, however, the practice had since been great degree corresponded, to shew the assent to which the former ministry had gone in meeting the just views of our government, and thereby to prove that the present ministry in improving that ground had nothing to apprehend from the preceding one. Mr. Canning admitted that the view which I had taken of this paper derived much support from its contents and the time and circumstances under which it was presented, but persisted in his desire to keep the subject separate. I proposed as an expedient to get rid of his objection, that we should take up and arrange both points informally, in which case, provided it was done in a manner to be obligatory, I offered to frame my note which should demand reparation for the outrage, in general terms, so as that it should not appear by official document, that the subjects had any connection in the negotiation. I urged that unless it was intended to make no provision against impressment from merchant vessels, I could see no objection to his meeting me on that ground, as after what had passed it was impossible to take up either subject without having the other in view, and equally so to devise any mode which should keep them more completely separate than the one which I proposed. Mr. Canning still adhered to his doctrine of having nothing to do with impressment from merchant vessels, till the affair of the Chesapeake was disposed of, after which he professed his willingness to proceed to the other object. In this manner the conference ended, without having produced the arrangement which I had hoped from it. Mr. Canning's conduct was in all respects conciliatory.
My note to Mr. Canning was founded on the result of this conference. As it had not been in my power to come to any agreement with him on the general subject of impressment from merchant vessels, I considered it my duty to combine it with the affair of the Chesapeake, in the paper which I presented him to claim reparation for the outrage. I thought it best, however, to omit the other acts, of which it was desired that the reparation should consist. It seemed probable that a specification of each circumstance in the note, would increase the indisposition of the ministry to accommodate, and give it support with the nation, in a complete rejection of the demand. I expressed myself therefore in regard to the other acts, in general and conciliatory terms, but with all the force in my power. The details had been communicated to Mr. Canning in conference too recently to be forgotten. Still it was just that no improper inference should be drawn from the omission of them. To prevent it, I obtained an interview of Mr. Canning immediately after my note was presented, in which, after reminding him of the omission alluded to, the motive to which I presumed he could not mistake, I added that my object in asking the interview had been to repeat to him informally, what I had stated in the former one, the other acts of which my government expected that the reparation should consist. In this interview nothing occurred without the limit of the special
object for which it had been obtained. Mr. Canning did not lead the conversation to any other topic, and I could not invite it.
Mr. Canning's answer to my note was delayed more than a fortnight. Having refused to treat the subject in connection, and intimated in plain terms that if I was not authorized to separate them, it would be useless to prolong the discussion I thought it improper to press it. My reply was equally explicit, so that with the negotiation ended. The measure which he announced, as being determined on by the king, in case I could not agree to the separation, is completely the act of his government. You will observe that it is announced in a form which precludes in a great degree, the idea of its being adopted at my suggestion, as an act of reparation, and in a tone of decision which seemed equally to preclude my holding any communication with him on it.
My mission being thus brought to an end, has afforded an opportunity for me to return to the United States as I have long desired. Nothing but the great interest which I take in the welfare of my country, and my earnest desire to give all the aid in my power to the present administration, in support of the principles of our most excellent constitution, would have detained me here so long. In the present state, however, it is not possible, if in any it would be, for me to render any service by a longer continuance here.
As soon, therefore, as I had answered Mr. Canning's note, I communicated to him my intention to return, and requested that he would be so good as to obtain for me an audience of the king for the purpose of taking my leave of him. This was granted on the 7th of this month, in which I renewed the assurance of the sincere desire of my government, to preserve the most friendly relation between the United States and Great Britain, which sentiment was reciprocated by his majesty. Mr. Pinkney succeeds me by an arrangement with Mr. Canning, which will appear in the enclosed copy of my correspondence with him, and which I have full confidence the president will approve. I regret that in transferring the business into his hands, I do not leave him altogether free from difficulty.
I have the honor to be with great respect, sir, your most obedient servant,
JAMES MONROE.
JAMES MADISON, Esquire, Secretary of State.
P. S. Not being satisfied with the undefined character of the proposed mission to the United States, and Mr. Canning having communicated nothing new to me on the subject, in my interview with him on the day I was presented to the king, although an opportunity was offered for the purpose, I wrote him a note after the commencement of this letter, to make certain enquiries on that head, a copy of which not, and of his answer is herewith enclosed. You will observe that he still holds himself also so. I thought it my duty, and that it comported with strict delicacy to make this enquiry and I cannot but consider his reserve as affording cause for an unfavorable inference. It is probable however, as the door is left open for further communication between us till the moment of my departure, that he will take some other occasion to explain himself more fully on the subject. You may be assured that I will seek every favorable opportunity to obtain such explanation of him.
From Mr. Canning Foreign Office, Oct. 22, 1807.
SIR, HAVING seen in the American news papers, an official article (of which I have the honor to enclose a copy) prohibiting all intercourse between the inhabitants of the U. S. and his majesty's ships of war universally; I have the honor to request that you will have the goodness to inform me whether this prohibition will extend to the ship of war in which a minister accredited from his majesty, and charged with a mission to the American government, shall arrive in any of the ports of the U. S.? Or whether you or Mr. Pinkney can undertake to furnish Mr. Rose with such documents as shall insure his admission into the American ports, and a reception therein suitable to the character with which he is invested?
I have the honor to be, with great consideration, sir, your most obedient humble servant, (Signed)
GEORGE CANNING.
James Monroe, Esq. &c. &c. &c.
To Mr. CANNING. Portland Place, Oct. 23, 1807.
SIR, I have the honor to state, in reply to your letter of yesterday, that the case to which you alluded is specially provided for by the proclamation of the president. You will observe, on a view of that document, that an exception is made from the prohibition it contains on other vessels, in favor of such ships of his majesty as may enter the ports of the U. S. with dispatches from his majesty's government. Had the case of a public minister, employed in a special mission to my government, not been comprized in that exception, as it
clearly is. I have no hesitation in saying that he would be received without delay in any port at which he might arrive, and myself will be happy to give to his majesty's minister every facility in the power of the department in which I am public character, and promote his special or in the seat of the government of the United States.
I have the honor to be, with great consideration, &c. (Signed)
JAMES MONROE The Right Honorable George Canning &c. &c. &c.
FROM MR. CANNING.
Foreign Office, Oct. 23, 1807. 1-2 past 10, P. M.
SIR, I have to acknowledge the honor of your answer to my letter of yesterday evening. It appears to me to be so important to have a clear understanding on the subject to which that letter refers, that I cannot forbear requesting you to call at the foreign office to-morrow at two o'clock, if that hour should suit your convenience.
I have the honor to be, with great consideration, sir, your most obedient humble servant, (Signed)
GEORGE CANNING. James Monroe, Esq. &c. &c. &c.
London, Oct. 23, 1807.
SIR, I have the honor to send you a copy of a correspondence with Mr. Canning, touching a difficulty which he supposed Mr. Rose might experience in entering the bay of Chesapeake, in consequence of the proclamation of the president. In the interview invited by his last note, I expressed my surprise that any doubt should exist on the subject of it, and assured him, that Mr. Pinkney and myself would be responsible for Mr. Rose's prompt admission into our harbors, and arrival at Washington, without suffering the slightest molestation; on the contrary, that he should receive every attention and facility on the route which he might require. I told him that no document from us would be necessary for that purpose; but that to put the question beyond all doubt, we would give him a passport, which should go every way, and that we would also give him letters of introduction to the governors of Maryland and Virginia, as a through which he would pass, to take advantage of, if he found that they would be useful. With this explanation and arrangement, Mr. Canning was satisfied.
I also send you a copy of a letter from Mr. Rose, senior, and my answer relative to the mission of his son to the U. States.
Although Mr. Rose's letter is unofficial, I have thought it proper, in consideration of his near connection with the minister, and his station in the government, to communicate it.
I leave this to-morrow, to meet the channel the Augustus, the ship in which I propose to sail with my family to the U. States. She has left this port, and is on her way to Portsmouth, where she will receive us. Mr. Rose, by going a trifle, will most probably arrive before me, and even before Dr. Buller. It is important that you should possess all the information which I can give respecting the business in which I have been lately engaged with Mr. Canning, and of Mr. Rose's mission, at the moment of his arrival. I have therefore thought it advisable to commit to him this letter, and a copy of my correspondence with Mr. Canning, as Mr. Pinkney and I have done our joint despatch. I expect to be at sea in a week from this date, and shall proceed to Washington immediately after my arrival in the U. S. to communicate to you such further information as I may have, relative to the important concerns of our country in which I have been employed.
I have the honor to be, with the greatest respect, &c. (Signed) JAMES MONROE.

NEW YORK, March 28.
Interesting Foreign News.
By the last sailing ship Oliver Elsworth, which arrived at this port on Saturday evening from Liverpool, the Editor of the Mercantile Advertiser has completed his files of London papers to the 22d February, inclusive. Liverpool papers to the 24th, & Lloyd's Lists and Prices Current to the 19th.
The papers are principally occupied with the debates in the Imperial Parliament of G. Britain on the late orders of council against neutral commerce; the expedition to Copenhagen; the proposed mediation of Austria between England and France; the negotiation with Portugal; the expedition to the Dardanelles; and the improper use which his majesty has made of the Droids of Admiralty, by granting the sum of 20,000l. sterling to several of his profligate children, at a time when the pressure of the public burthens became almost intolerable to the great mass of the nation.
For the late orders of council the ministry have had recourse to a bill of indemnity. In the house of peers, when the subject of these orders was under consideration, Lord Erskine, the late Chancellor, observed that they must lead to the most calamitous consequences. America, it was generally acknowledged, was the main source of British commercial prosperity, and these measures would inevitably dry it up, and compel the people of the United States to turn their thoughts to a navy and manufactures, contrary to the advice of the great and good Washington, and thereby permanently their attention on what must inevitably ruin England.
On motion in the same House for an address to his majesty praying for the production of official information touching the execution of the French decree of blockade previous to the 11th Nov. the ministry were left in a minority of 9.
A bill was before parliament at our last dates, for "more effectually carrying into execution certain orders in council made for the protection of the trade and navigation of G. Britain, and granting duties of customs on certain goods exported from G. Britain;" and a meeting had been called, by twenty two of the most respectable houses in Liverpool to petition parliament against its passing into a law until the objectionable parts of it should be expunged or modified. Among other articles of taxation, the bill proposes an export duty of 2s. 6d. sterling per bushel on Salt which is considered as a staple branch of the export trade of Liverpool. This port, it is computed, carries on three-fourths of the trade between the U. S. and G. Britain; and some idea of its importance may be collected from the fact that the annual export of British manufactures to the U. States, exceeds ten millions sterling, & the demand constantly and rapidly increasing. In the port of Liverpool alone, during the year 1807, entered 489 American vessels, averaging 252 tons, and paying a tonnage duty of 36,968l. In addition to which, the amount paid in dock duties, port charges, and disbursement among the tradesmen of Liverpool is estimated at 149,300l. exclusive of any charge or expence on the cargo.

At the close of the season he will be for sale or barter for mules or horses, and would make a very capital horse to carry to the western country, as his blood is in the highest demand—his appearance inferior to no blood horse whatever.

THURSDAY, MARCH 31.
Dispatches were received a few days since from Mr. Pinckney, our minister at London, which, we are informed, are conciliatory in their nature, and strengthen the grounds of hope for a restoration of harmony between the countries. They would have been communicated to the legislature yesterday, it is said, but for the indisposition of the president. It is probable they will be laid before both houses to-day.
(Yesterday's Washington Fed.)
The report was current in Europe at the last date, that Spain had ceded the FLORIDAS to France.
The British parliament has voted 100,000 seamen, and 30,000 mariners for the service of the year 1808; and about 12,000 000 sterling for the navy establishment.
Lieutenant general sir G. Prevost, is appointed by the British government lieutenant governor of Nova Scotia, and commander of the forces there, vice sir John Wentworth. He is to come out with the strong reinforcements to be sent out to the British North American dominions.
EXTRACT OF A LETTER.
Liverpool, Feb. 10.
"Since our price current of the 23d ult. the prices demanded (and in some cases given on speculation) for American produce, have been higher in consequence of the embargo; but as they have been caused by a stoppage of export from America, and in low cases from an actual demand, the continuance must be uncertain.
Last week a speculation took place in cotton. Old uplands 14d a 16 3/4, new 17 1/2 a 18 3/4; and it is reported in some instances 18 3/4 a 19d was given; one sale has been made as high as 20d, but on condition that if the embargo is taken off prior to the 22d March, it shall be void. The demand has been principally to upland Georgias, and very little has been done in New Orleans, of which only a few have been sold at 18 a 20d at the latter prices, prime quality, and only in small lots. This week little is doing, as the speculators consider the prices demanded as too high, and such as can only be supported by consumers. The prices demanded are generally from 1 1/2 a 2 1/2 higher than our quotations of the 23d January. The manufacturing trade is considered extremely bad, and nothing but the supplies being cut off can force up prices; of course the continuance is supposed to rest with that of the embargo in America. Last week an attempt at public sale was made, which did not go as well as expected, and threw rather a damp upon the market. Another considerable public sale of West Indias is advertised for the 12th.
"As soon as prices take a regular turn we will advise you, but nothing now occurring ought to regulate you upon the opening intercourse.
"The premiums of insurance are extremely unsettled, varying almost every day; 8 or 10 guineas have been given in London on Atlantic state risks—10 a 12 on Mississippi vessels; here 8 guineas, with a return of 2 per cent, for safe arrival, has been given on the former, and 5 to 6 guineas with a warranty against capture by the British or Americans, and we are offered eight guineas from N. Orleans.
"The British government continues to grant licenses to American vessels for the satisfaction of merchants, some of them for 6 months or longer. A bill has been brought into parliament for the continuance of the conditions of Jay's treaty, under which imports were allowed in American vessels, and the observations by ministers on this point, as well as other occasions evince their expectations that the differences with your country will be amicably adjusted. At all events we flatter ourselves that if a rupture does take place, it will not originate here."
COMMUNICATION.
On the 15th Feb. 1806, congress passed an act appropriating two millions of dollars for defraying any extraordinary expences attending our intercourse with foreign nations: and Mr. Gallatin, the secretary of the treasury, reported to Congress, on the 5th December following, that a credit for half of this sum had been opened in Holland to the ministers of the U States appointed to treat with Spain.
Two years have now elapsed since the appropriation was made, and eighteen months, probably since, the credit was opened in Holland, and we are, as yet, ignorant of the specific purposes for which this money was intended. Three ministers have, at different times, been sent to that court, but no permanent arrangements have taken place. Mr. Jefferson, at the commencement of the present session of Congress, declared to them that "our differences with Spain remain still unsettled; no measures having been taken on her part, since his last communication to
Congress, to bring them to a close." Our last minister, Mr. Bowdoin, has left Spain without accomplishing the object of his mission. Spanish cruisers are still capturing our vessels in the Mediterranean and all their ports are shut against our commerce. Should not the people, by this time, have some information of their money? If it has been applied to some necessary public use would it be dangerous to trust the people with a knowledge of it? I think not. As all our negotiations with Spain have failed, it is most probable these millions have not been used on Spanish account, and if they have not been swallowed by the sweeping confiscations of Bonaparte, should they not be sent for. that the surpluses in the treasury might be augmented, or be applied to the defence of the country.

Mount-Washington for Sale.
I will sell my FARM in Fairfax county, and give immediate possession. It is less than three miles from Alexandria, and six from the George-Town ferry—the distance from the projected bridge will be less—the house stands on an elevated hill, and over, looks the City, Alexandria, the river, with the shore, and hills of Maryland. The house which I erected, and is nearly finished, consists of a center house two stories high, and wings of one, joined to it, by circular corridors, the north wing contains 2 small rooms, the front of it, and the corridor adjoining, intended for a green house, this leads to a drawing room—a dining room separated from it by the passage and stair-case, is next to the south corridor which contains 3 closets, and leads to the kitchen—two small rooms in this wing with the kitchen—a pump of excellent water at the door. The second story of the center house contains 3 chambers and a dressing room, with fire places—a large closet adjoins the dining room—one of the same size opens on the stair case, both fitted up with shelves—a store room in the garret, and cupolo on the house top, from whence is seen a delightful, variegated landscape, completes the description of the mansion house. A neat cottage accommodates laborers, and there are stables, a carriage house, and ice house; the farm contains 103 acres, 70 enclosed and cultivated, the rest in wood; this place boasts the finest collection of fruit that I have seen, besides every other sort; the list given to me was 300 apples, 800 peaches, and 300 cherry trees; I have added several hundred of the best kinds.—The garden consists of 12 large squares, the soil enriched and borders filled with fruit trees, and bushes; it is surrounded by a live cedar hedge, which also extends on each side of the house:—the former proprietor possessed much taste, and collected many ornamental trees and shrubs, which are judiciously disposed about the grounds. The soil is suitable for grass, and the portion of ground devoted to timothy and clover, yield an abundant crop; it produced good wheat and oats last year, and I think with small expense may be rendered productive. Those who wish a residence, where health will be preserved, and convenience of intercourse with Alexandria, George-Town, and the seat of government, will find all combined in Mount-Washington . I will show the premises and impart the terms of sale, upon applications by letters directed to the Post-Office, Alexandria.

Farming implements, an ox cart, two bar-shear ploughs with harness, one shovel do. one iron toothed harrow, two scythes and candles, spades, picks, &c

Decree in Chancery.
By virtue of a decree of the superior court of chancery for the Richmond district, pronounced on an appeal, wherein Sarah Chapman widow of Carr Chapman, deceased, and Susanna Chapman, an infant daughter of the said Carr Chapman, by the said Sarah Chapman, her guardian, were appellants; and Thompson and Veitch were appellees, I shall, on the first Monday in April next, before the court house of Prince William county, sell to the highest bidder, for ready money, or on a credit of 6, 12 & 18 months,
A Tract of Land,
IN the same county, which was granted to Thomas Chapman by deeds of lease and release from William Tebbs for 69 3/4 acres, bearing date the 17th and 18th days of June 1774.
Also, one other tract of Land,
in the same county, which was conveyed to the said Thomas Chapman by deeds of lease and release from Bertrand Ewell and his wife, and Jesse Ewell and his wife, for 30 acres, more or less, bearing date the 9th and 10th days of April, 1775.
Also, one tract or parcel of
Land, which was conveyed to the said Chapman by deeds of lease and release from Jesse Ewell and his wife, and Bertrand Ewell and his wife, for 150 acres, more or less, bearing date the 2d and 3d days of January, 1784, all of which deeds are now of record in the county court of Prince William. And also, all the other estate, right, title, claim and possession which Carr Chapman, on the 20th November, 1797, had of and in to the land and real estate whereof his father or any of his ancestors had died, seized or possessed. The above description is taken from the mortgage deed executed by Carr Chapman to Thompson & Veitch on the 20th November, 1797, and now recorded in Prince William court, under which the property is sold. It is understood that the three tracts of land have been united into one which adjoins the town of Dumfries. On it there is a dwelling house & some wood. The general rights described will, as it is believed, comprehend a fourth part of the reversion of all the dower land of Susanna Gwinett, and one fourth part of the reversion of all the land devised by Thomas Chapman to Elizabeth Overall, after the death of the said Susanna and the said Elizabeth. Bond and approved security will be required.
