Mr. Giles's Speech—Continued.
Mr. President, I am told that Mr. Canning is a professed punster—but Sir, I would not condescend to make the observation here, had he not, after heaping upon us, during the whole of his administration, every injury and insult in his power, at the close of it placed us in a ludicrous situation by imposing on us an obligation, in a grave and serious concern to the nation, of expounding his equivoques, and unriddling his riddles.—I really feel some condescension in being compelled in my place to hunt out for his and Mr. Jackson's meaning, through a transition of sentences, a collocation of words, and a shifting of verbiage—and indulge me, Sir, with remarking, that I conceive the situation of a nation never can be more disastrous, calamitous and lamentable, than when its great and serious affairs are placed in the hands of a parcel of punsters. For, Sir, men of minds of that description are too much employed in the pleasing amusement of looking out for coruscations of wit and sentiment, to have any leisure for the more dull and unpleasing business of observing and marking the great occurrences in human affairs, and of devising means of giving them a direction favorable to their own views, or to their country's interests. No, Sir, this is too dull and plodding a pursuit for men of such light, flitting, brilliant imaginations, and if ever they unfortunately undertake it, they soon find the woeful misapplication of talents. If, Sir, any illustration were wanting of the correctness of these observations, it could no where be found better than in an attentive review of the historical events, which occurred during the late British administration—the administration of the energetic—the brilliant—the sarcastic—the facetious—the joking Mr. Canning. He has carried his joking propensities far indeed. It may be truly said, he jests at scars indeed—at scars of the blackest disgrace and ruin inflicted upon his bleeding country—upon a great nation which probably would have received and certainly merited a better fate, if it had fortunately placed its destinies in better hands. Sir, it appears to me that all the ordinary enterprises during his whole administration, from the the abominable attack on Copenhagen down to the last expedition against the islands of Zealand, were nothing more than belligerent puns and conundrums. It has been constantly announced that some grand, secret expedition was on hand, and each succeeding one grander than the preceding, until the last expedition to Walcheren, which was the grandest of all; and when the secret really came out it appeared, either that the object was abominable, or contemptible and the means of executing even the contemptible object, upon experiment, were generally found incompetent. Yet, Sir, probably these enterprises have cost the British nation the lives of fifty thousand brave officers and soldiers, and I will not undertake to count the millions of dollars. Sir, the same little minded course of policy has also been uniformly manifested during the same time against the U. S.; and in no respect more, than in the disavowal of Mr. Erskine's arrangement—in avoiding to avow the real motives for it—and in the un candid attempt to convert the bad faith of the British government, into a reproach upon our own; and this was to be done by an ingenious mental device, pretty conceived by Mr. Canning, and adroitly executed by Mr. Jackson; who if not equal to Mr. Canning in the mysterious art of punning, I think can be very, very little way behind his prototype, in the art of equivoques. Sir, the disavowal, in my judgment, was not for the want of competent powers. Too great a share of the real causes of the disavowal unfortunately is attributable to ourselves, and now is the moment to relieve ourselves from the imputation.
Let me now, Sir, call your attention to the letter of Mr. Smith to Mr. Jackson in reply to these highly offensive insinuations, dated 19th Oct 1809, pages 46, 47, of the printed documents—
"The stress you have laid on what you have been pleased to state as the substitution of the terms finally agreed on, for the terms first proposed, has excited no small degree of surprise. Certain it is, that your predecessor did present for my consideration the two conditions, which now appear in the printed document—that he was disposed to urge them more than the nature of two of them (both palpably inadmissible) and one more than merely finding his first proposals unsuccessful in the more reasonable terms comprised in the arrangement respecting the orders in council were adopted. And what, Sir, is there in this to countenance the conclusion you have drawn in favor of the right of his Britannic majesty to disavow the proceeding? Is any thing more common in public negotiations, than to begin with a higher demand, and, that failing, to descend to a lower? To have if not two set-
tions, two, or more than two grades of propositions in the same set of instructions; to begin with what is the most desirable, and to end with what is found to be admissible in case the more desirable should not be attainable. This must be obvious to every understanding, and it is confirmed by universal experience."
"What were the real and entire instructions given to your predecessor is a question essentially between him and his government. That he had, or at least, that he believed he had sufficient authority to conclude the arrangement, his formal assurances, during our discussions, were such as to leave no room for doubt. His subsequent letter of the 15th June, renewing his assurances to me "that the terms of the agreement so happily concluded by the recent negotiation, will be strictly fulfilled on the part of his majesty," is an evident indication of what his persuasion then was as to his instructions. And with a view to shew what his impressions have been even since the disavowal, I must take the liberty of referring you to the annexed extracts (see C.) from his official letters of the 31st July and of the 14th of August."
"The declaration "that the despatch from Mr. Canning to Mr. Erskine of the 23d January, is the only despatch by which the conditions were prescribed to Mr. Erskine for the conclusion of an arrangement on the matter to which it relates," is now for the first time made to this government, and I need hardly add 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, and which were at first presented by Mr. Erskine, were the only ones on which he was authorised to make an arrangement, the arrangement would not have been made."
The language of this quotation is at once so perspicuous, candid and intelligent, that it requires no explanation or illustration, from me. I will therefore pass on to Mr. Jackson's reply, dated 23d October, 1809 pages 59, 60 in the following words:
"I have, therefore, no hesitation in informing you, that his majesty was pleased to disavow the agreement concluded between you and Mr. Erskine, because it was concluded in violation of the gentleman's instructions, and altogether without authority to subscribe to the terms of it. These instructions, I now understand by your letter, as well as from the obvious deduction which I took the liberty of making in mine of the 11th inst, were at the time in substance made known to you; no stronger illustration, therefore, can be given of the deviation from them which occurred, than by a reference to the terms of your agreement."
"Nothing can be more notorious than the frequency with which, in the course of a complicated negotiation, ministers are furnished with a gradation of conditions, on which they may be successively authorised to conclude. So common is the case which you put hypothetically, that in acceding to the justice of your statement, I feel myself impelled to make onely one observation upon it, which is, that it does not strike me, as bearing upon the consideration of the unauthorised agreement concluded here, inasmuch as in point of fact, Mr. Erskine had no such graduated instruction. You are already acquainted with that which was given and I have had the honor of informing you that it was the only one by which the conditions on which he was to conclude were prescribed. So far from the terms, which he was actually induced to accept, having been contemplated in that instruction, he himself states that they were substituted by you in lieu of those originally proposed."
The first observation which occurs, in reading this extract, is, that Mr. Jackson here attempts to get at his object by what, I suppose, he considers an ingenious conceit, shifting his verbiage—the words, "conditions prescribed in the despatch" are here dropped; and the word "instructions" substituted. Thus endeavoring to shew, that Mr. Erskine's instructions themselves were in fact known to Mr. Smith at the time of the arrangement.
And how, Sir, do you suppose he attempts to get at this fact? Why, Sir, he tells you from Mr. Smith's letter just read, which so far from justifying that conclusion, that it positively denies it; and even goes further, it furnishes, and refers to extracts of two letters, from Mr. Erskine to Mr. Smith, the one dated the 31st July, the other the 14th August, 1809. It refers also to one of the 15th June, all of which go explicitly to shew, that the instructions in question were not known to Mr. Smith and that Mr. Erskine at every period of time thought his instructions competent to the arrangement. Sir, these papers ought to have relieved Mr. Jackson's mind from every vestige of a doubt respecting this fact, if it were possible that he could even before have thought so unworthy, as well of Mr. Erskine, as of our government; but very far from yielding to the influence of all this evidence, in the
very face of it, with the most extraordinary effrontery, he contradicts the whole, and renews his offensive insinuation with all the aggravation of this impudent contradiction. But, Sir, this is not all, he here reiterates this insinuation by referring to what he calls the "obvious deduction" he took the liberty of making in his letter of the 11th of October which I have before animadverted on to the Senate—this reiteration demonstrates the propriety of my animadversions on that letter; the whole of which are equally applicable to the letter of the 23d of October now under consideration, and noticed in the resolution before you; with this additional aggravating circumstance; that at the time of writing this last letter Mr. Jackson knew that he wrote the first under false or mistaken impressions. Nor, Sir, can it escape observation that he here again renews his insinuations deduced from his ridiculous and contemptible interpretation of what he calls the act of substitution.
Let me now, Sir, proceed to Mr. Smith's letter to Mr. Jackson, of 1st of November, replying to these reiterated and aggravated insinuations. It will be found in pages 65, 67, of the printed documents, in the following words:
"But it would be improper to conclude the few observations, to which I purposely limit myself without advertizing 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."
This language is also too perspicuous and correct in itself, to require any explanation from me. But I cannot help remarking, Sir, that surely every American patriot must feel a smile of confidence and complacency towards his own government, when he beholds the openness, the frankness, the candor and the intelligence with which it gets at the truth, compared with the miserable and contemptible conceits and subterfuges, with which the British minister attempts to disguise and obscure it.
After this admonition, made with dignified decision and moderation, let me turn your attention to Mr. Jackson's reply. It will be found in his letter to Mr. Smith of the 4th November, page 72, of the printed documents, in the following words:
"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 last 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."
It cannot have escaped your observation, Sir, that the Executive government, with a moderation and forbearance almost peculiar to itself, would not impose upon Mr. Jackson the pain either of explanation or retraction. Notwithstanding his reiterated affronts, it made no demand of either. It appeared only to desire to throw out of the way these offensive insinuations. And how, Sir, has it been requited for this moderation and forbearance? Why, Sir, instead of dropping a subject in which Mr. Jackson was so clearly in the wrong, he again renews it with still further aggravations. He tells Mr. Smith that he had carefully avoided in all his preceding correspondence drawing conclusions, that did not necessarily follow from premises advanced by him; or uttering an insinuation, where he was unable to substantiate a fact: That he had scrupulously adhered to such facts as he had become acquainted with, and that he should continue to do so, whenever the good faith of his Majesty's government was called in question, to vindicate his honor and dignity, in the manner he thought best calculated for that purpose.
Now, Sir, permit me to ask you, if the Executive government had gone on to receive any further communications from Mr. Jackson after these declarations; in what situation would the American Secretary of State have been placed? When Mr. Jackson, in substance, here tells him with a superciliousness bordering on mental infatuation, I have insulted you, I have repeated the insult, and now give you notice that I will continue to repeat it, whenever I may think proper, during the whole course of our future negotiations. For, Sir, at the time of writing this letter, y-
will be pleased to remark, that there remained no doubt of the true meaning of the offensive insinuations; because Mr. Smith had put an interpretation upon them in his letter of the 1st November, which was plain and explicit, and which could not be misunderstood. Mr. Smith then tells Mr. Jackson, that his, Mr. Jackson's language implied a knowledge on the part of the American government, that the instructions of his predecessor did not authorise the arrangement formed by him. That after the explicit and peremptory asseveration that this government had no such knowledge, and that with such knowledge no such arrangement would have been entered into &c. such insinuations are inadmissible, &c. &c. This interpretation of the meaning of Mr. Jackson's insinuations is not denied, and therefore admitted by Mr. Jackson; and with that admission he goes on superciliously to repeat them, and to declare that he will continue to do so in all future discussions whenever he pleases.
Is there one single gentleman in the U. States, with an American heart in his bosom, who could wish to see his government and his country placed in so degrading a situation? And what prospect of benefit could there be to the U. States, in proceeding with a negotiation conducted with such a spirit of hostility and superciliousness on the part of the British negotiator? Is there a gentleman whose highest sensibilities are not excited by this insult, and whose judgment is not convinced of the propriety of the conduct of his own government? And, Sir, after all these outrageous and premeditated insults, what is the measure proposed by the Executive in relation to this contumacious minister? Why, Sir, the mildest in the whole vocabulary of expedients—Simply to refuse to receive any further communications from him, and to request his recall by his own government; and in the mean time, to receive communications through any other channel—thus merely shielding itself from further insults, and manifesting a solicitude for friendly intercourse with Great Britain, which must shield it from every imputation of insincerity in its professions of friendly views in relation to that government. Yes, Sir, negotiation is still open, although in my judgement without the smallest probability of success or advantage. Upon the whole review of this part of the subject then, Sir, is there a gentleman, who is not prepared to say, that in refusing to receive any further communications from Mr. Jackson, the Executive government has manifested a just regard to its own dignity and honor, as well as to the character and interests of the American people? And can there be a gentleman of this Senate who is not prepared to pledge himself to stand by and support the Executive government in this respect to the last extremity? Permit me now, Sir, to call your attention to a still more aggravated conduct on the part of Mr. Jackson. I allude to his letter headed "circular," dated 13th November and published and circulated through the country. In all its essential parts it seems to be the same with the note of the same date delivered to Mr. Smith by Mr. Oakley at the request of Mr. Jackson in the following words—and will be found in the printed documents pages 74, 75.
"That Mr. Jackson has seen with much regret, that facts which it has been his duty to state in his official correspondence, have been deemed by the American government to afford a sufficient motive for breaking off an important negotiation, and for putting an end to all communication whatever with the minister charged by his sovereign with that negotiation so interesting to both nations, and on one point of which an answer has not even been returned to an official and written overture."
"One of the facts alluded to has been admitted by the secretary of state himself, in his letter of the 19th October, viz. that the three conditions forming the substance of Mr. Erskine's original propositions were submitted to him by that gentleman. The other, viz. that that instruction is the only one in which the conditions were prescribed to Mr. Erskine for the conclusion of an arrangement on a matter to which related, is known to Mr. Jackson by the instructions which he has himself received."
"In stating these facts and in adhering to them, as his duty imperiously enjoined him to do, Mr. Jackson could not imagine that offence would be taken at it by the American government, as most certainly none could be intended on his part."
It is to be observed, Sir, that the letter headed "Circular," and this note officially presented by Mr. Oakley, at the request of Jackson, are of the same date, and essentially in the same words; and what must have been the surprise of the Executive government, to find that within very few days after an official note had been presented to it at the request of the British Minister complaining of some of its acts; that the same note should be published and circulated through the country; as an appeal to the people against the conduct of their Executive government in relation to these acts? Nor can it escape observation, Sir, that this circular letter contained the first official announcement of the rupture of the negotiations between our government & Mr. Jackson. This, Sir, was such a premeditated inexcusable affront to the whole American people, as well as to their government, that nothing could have restrained me at this time from submitting a resolution to the Senate, requiring the President to send Mr. Jackson immediately out of the country, but the consideration, that this contumacious and insolent conduct has been presented to the British government, as one of the grounds upon which his immediate recall is requested, and I am unwilling to interfere with this mild course, which the Executive has tho' proper to adopt. Yes, Sir, I wish it now to be explicitly understood, that I think, Mr. Jackson ought instantly to be sent out of the country. That it is due to the dignity and the honor of the people and the government; and even that measure would afford a poor atonement for his insolent affronts to both.
I wish is also understood, Sir, that I consider the insult to consist in the appeal itself, in the publication and circulation of the paper, without any reference to the question of the truth or falsehood of the facts stated as the grounds of the appeal; but, Sir, as an aggravation in this case, the facts stated are manifestly false or fallacious, and in some respects I believe both false and fallacious. As an inconceivable evidence of this, Sir, I beg your attention to the first paragraph of this impudent appeal, which has been already read in the following words—
"That Mr. Jackson has seen with regret, that facts which it has been his duty to state in his official correspondence, have been deemed by the American government to afford a sufficient motive for breaking off an important negotiation, and for putting an end to all communication whatever with the minister charged by his sovereign with that negotiation so interesting to both nations, and on one point of which an answer has not even been returned to an official and written overture."

RICHMOND,
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1809.
MR. GILES' RESOLUTION.
The Resolution which Mr. Giles introduced into the Senate of the United States, and which passed that respectable body so decorously and promptly, it is hoped will be agreed to by the House of Representatives also.
Previously to Mr. Jefferson's first Presidency, Gen. Washington and Mr. Adams had always made their communications to Congress, at the opening of each session, in person, and the Congress were in the practice of replying to the speeches thus personally made to them.
There is a great deal of force in the remark contained in Mr. Giles' speech on the resolution, where that true son of the republic points out the peculiarity of our constitution, which gives the President authority to receive ambassadors and yet does not entrust him with the power of declaring war.
tive and legislative bodies. The constitution of the United States is an instrument of checks and balances.
Another, and not a very weak argument in favor of a prompt agreement to Mr. Giles' resolution by the House of Representatives, may be found in the unlicensed language of certain news-papers which are identified with Mr. Jackson.
CROSS CUTTING.
The opposition to the administration are employed in a very unprofitable speculation; nothing less than an attempt to prove that the conditions contained in Mr. Canning's despatch of the 23d of January originated with Messrs. Madison, Smith, and Gallatin, and that they were proposed to the British government by those gentlemen through Mr. Erskine.
"I certainly never received any assurances from the American government that they would pledge themselves to accept the conditions specified in Mr. Canning's instructions as preliminaries; nor did I ever hold out such an expectation to his majesty's government; having always stated to them that in the event of his majesty's thinking it just or expedient to cause his orders in council to be withdrawn, that the president would take off the embargo as respected England, leaving it in operation against France and the powers which adopted, or acted under, her decrees, according to the authority which was vested in him at that time by the Congress of the U. States, and that there was every reason to expect that a satisfactory arrangement might be made upon the points of the colonial trade which had been so long in dispute between the two countries."
Virginia Legislature.
In the House of Delegates, on Tuesday last, Mr. DANIEL offered the following resolution, which was read and ordered to lie on the table.
"Resolved, That a committee be appointed on the part of this house, to enquire and make report thereon, concerning the conduct of the late minister plenipotentiary of his Britannic majesty, Francis James Jackson, in his negotiations with the Secretary of State; and that the said committee do further enquire and report, whether the Executive Government, by interdicting all communication with the said Francis James Jackson, has acted with a due regard to the character and dignity of the government, and for the interest of the people of the United States."
FOR THE ARGUS.
MR. PLEASANTS, You will oblige several of your friends and subscribers by inserting the inclosed in the Argus. Goochland, December 13th, 1809.
TO THE HONORABLE LEGISLATURE OF VIRGINIA.
THE situation of your constituents will now call for all the wisdom and prudence of the General Assembly, in affording relief to the unfortunate debtors without materially delaying the rights of their creditors; to effect this desirable purpose, the following propositions are most respectfully submitted to the honorable legislature:— Let there no longer be a suspension of executions, but immediately on the rising of the General Assembly, let executions issue for one third, and the other two thirds in two equal annual instalments; or if this should be considered as too great indulgence, let the debts be paid in two equal annual instalments; this will be as expedious a collection of debts as the situation of the country can possibly admit of, without ruining the debtors completely, which will infallibly follow from issuing executions for the full amount of the debts all at once.
A great many of these blood-suckers are now repairing to the city of Richmond to join with their emissaries for the purpose of attempting to influence all the votes they can—these men will be early known, for they will clamor about justice, and their bonis, like Shylock the Jew, who must have the full penalty of their bonds, or the blood next the heart of their unfortunate debtors.
THE MONITOR.
FOR THE ARGUS.
A political and prospective sketch of Europe, suitable to the terms of the peace lately concluded between the Emperors of France and Austria.
Every man of the slightest claims to political information will acknowledge that the military successes of the Emperor Napoleon have been such as to give him the control over the future destiny of Europe.
Assurances are now given that there is a firm peace between the Emperors of France and Austria—and it seems that the conqueror, notwithstanding the advantages gained, and the means of pursuing them to the ruin of his competitor, has again restored him to rank, power and dominion, with the benefits of experience, and an ample of true greatness, which may lead to the happiness of himself and family and to the prosperity of his country.
It may be asserted, without fear of contradiction, that history cannot afford an example of greater clemency and generosity than has been manifested upon the occasion now before us: important as it is to the persons immediately concerned, it will be still much more so to the civilized world.
Such are the reflections which, whilst they produce pleasure, afford unanswerable arguments to those who endeavor to excite fears and prejudices against the author of those great events.
COMMUNICATION.
It must be gratifying to the public to hear that the Managers of our Theatre have, in consequence of the disappointment, and indeed, loss incurred by Mr. Rutherford at his late benefit, generously granted him another opportunity of participating in the public favor.
The managers, (with all true lovers of the drama) being since highly gratified by his correct, chaste, and really versatile genius in the various characters which he has acted, have very properly allowed him Saturday night next, to make amends for the former deficiency.
The entertainments selected for our amusement appear to be critically judicious.
THEATRE.
On Friday evening, Dec. 22, will be presented, (for the first time here) a Grand Romantic, Catalistic, Melo Drama, being the production of M. G. LEWIS, esq., author of the Monk, called the
WOOD DEMON, OR THE Clock has Struck.
To which will be added, the much admired Afterpiece, in 2 acts, written by R. B. SHERIDAN, Esq., called

Nov. 4. From the Extensive Coast of the Peninsula vessels arrive almost daily. From Gijon we learn that the Asturias and Galicia, enjoy a temporary tranquillity by the absence of the enemy. From Portugal, we lament to say, letters concur in stating, that by the sword, by famine, and by disease, that army which left England in such gallant array—is reduced to fewer than 12,000 effectives, it is now impossible to doubt the evacuation of a country which has been the grave of two of the finest armies that ever left the British shores.
From Walcheren the advices are if possible still less favorable. Disease is confidently asserted to resist the utmost of medical science and practical skill in that mephitic swamp. While our force is thus hourly diminishing in that deadly place, Napoleon is making vigorous preparations to attack the Island. Of inquiry into the causes of the failure of the Antwerp Expedition, we now hear not one word. The late commander has a seat in the Council Board, and is understood to enjoy the especial favour and protection of his majesty, who as report says, is satisfied with the written statement of that noble commander. Whether his majesty has also received that of the gallant Sir Richard Strachan, we know not. In many cases, to have the last word is highly important; but it may be apprehended, that in the present instance the first word, like the first blow in a battle has the best chance.

A Mr. Hartshorn, passenger, is bearer of dispatches from Mr. Pinkney to the secretary of state. Two letter bags, out of three, containing about 2000 letters, were taken out of the William at Gravesend, by a revenue officer, and sent to the General Post Office in London, assigning as a reason that they were unsealed, which was contrary to law. He left a certificate of the act. The Grenville party is expected to come into the ministry after the meeting of Parliament. A general convocation of all the Italian Cardinals is to take place in Paris in November.

Napoleon, by the Grace of God, and the Constitution of the Empire, Emperor of the French, King of Italy, Protector of the League of the Rhine, &c.
Having seen and considered the Treaty concluded, determined, and signed at Vienna, on the 14th of this month, by the Sieur Nompere de Champagny, our minister for foreign affairs, in virtue of the full powers to that end given him by us, and the Prince John of Lichtenstein, marshal of the armies of his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, equally provided with full powers, which treaty is of the following tenor:—

II. The present peace is also declared to be common to his Majesty the King of Spain, his Majesty the King of Holland, his Majesty the King of Naples, his Majesty the King of Bavaria, his Majesty the King of Wirtemberg, his Majesty the King of Saxony, and his Majesty the King of Westphalia, his most eminent Highness the Prince Primate, their royal highnesses the Grand Duke of Baden, the Grand Duke of Berg, the Grand Duke of Hesse-Darmstadt, the Grand Duke of Wertsburg, and all the Princes and Members of the League of the Rhine, the Allies, in the present war of his Majesty the emperor of the French, King of Italy, Protector of the League of the Rhine.
III. His Majesty the Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary and Bohemia, cedes, as well for himself, his heirs and successors, as for the Princes of his House
successors, the principalities, lordships, domains, and territories, hereinafter mentioned, and also all titles which may accrue from the possession of the same; and all properties, whether manorial or held by them under an especial title, lying within the said territories.
1. He cedes and transfers to his Majesty the Emperor of the French to form a part of the League of the Rhine, and to be placed at his disposition for the interest of the Sovereigns of the League:—
The territories of Saltzburg & Berchtesgaden that part of Upper Austria situate on the further side of a line running from the Danube, at the village of Strass, therein comprehending Weissenkitch, Wedersdorff, Michelbach, Greist, Mackenhoffen, Helst, & Jedina: thence in the direction of Schwandstadt, the town of Schwandstadt on the Alps, and thence ascending along the bank of that river, and the lake of the same name, to the point where the lake touches upon the territory of Saltzburg.
His Majesty the Emperor of Austria shall only retain in property the Woods belonging to the Satz Cammer Go, and forming part of the manor of Monsde, with liberty to cut and carry thence the brushwood, but without enjoying any right of sovereignty upon that territory.
2. He also cedes to his Majesty the Emperor of the French, King of Italy, the County of Goritz, the manor of Mont-falcone, the Government and City of Trieste, Carniola, with its dependencies on the Gulf of Trieste, the Circle of Willach to Carinthia, and all the territories lying on the right bank of the Saave, from the point where that river leaves Carniola along its course to where it touches the frontiers of Bosnia—namely, a part of Provincial Croatia, six districts of military Croatia, Fiume, and the Hungarian Littorale, Austrian Istria, or the district of Cartha, the Islands depending on the ceded territories, and all other territories, however named, upon the right bank of the Saave—the middle stream of the said river surveyed as the boundary between the two States.
Lastly, the Lordships of Radzuns lying in the Graumbunderland.
3. He cedes and makes over to his Majesty the King of Saxony the territory of Bohemia, depending upon, and included in the territory of the Kingdom of Saxony—namely the parishes and villages of Guntersdorff, Tauhantranke, Gerlochsheim, Lenkersdorff, Schirgiswald, Winkle, &c.

The district round Cracow, upon the right bank of the Vistula, shall in the direction of Podgorze have for its circumference the distance from Podgorze to Wieliczka. The line of demarcation shall pass thro' Wieliczka, and to the westward touch upon Saawina, and to the Eastward upon the Beek, which falls into the Vistula at Bazdegy.
Wieliczka and the whole of the territory of the Salt-pits shall belong in common to the Emperor of Austria, and the king of Saxony. Justice shall be administered therein in the name of the Municipal Power; there shall be quartered there only the troops necessary for the support of the Police, and they shall consist of equal numbers of those of both nations. The Austrian salt from Wieliczka, in its conveyance over the Vistula, and through the Duchy of Warsaw, shall not be subject to any toll duties. Corn of all kinds raised in Austrian Galicia, may also be freely exported across the Vistula.
His Majesty the Emperor of Austria and his Majesty the King of Saxony, may form such an arrangement with regard to these boundaries as that the San, from the point where it touches upon the circle of Zamose, to its confluence with the Vistula, shall serve as the line of demarcation between both states.
5. He cedes and makes over to his Majesty the Emperor of Russia, in the easternmost part of Galicia, a tract of territory containing a population of 400,000 souls, the city of Brodi being, nevertheless, not therein included:—this territory shall be amicably ascertained by commissioners on the part of both empires.
IV.

It is nevertheless understood that the French army in this country shall take for their use whatever articles cannot be supplied by their magazines for the subsistence of the troops and the want of the hospitals—and also whatever shall be necessary for the conveyance of their sick, and the evacuation of their magazines.
An arrangement shall be made between the high contracting parties respecting all war contributions, of whatever denomination previously imposed on the Austrian provinces occupied by the French and allied troops; in consequence of which arrangement the levying of the said contributions shall cease from the day of the exchange of the Ratifications.
VII. His Majesty the emperor of the French, king of Italy, engages to give no obstruction to the importation or exportation of merchandise into and from Austria, by way of the port of Fiume; this, nevertheless, not being construed to include English goods or manufactures. The transit duties on the goods thus imported or exported, shall be lower than upon those of all other nations, the kingdom of Italy excepted.
An inquiry shall be instituted to ascertain whether any advantage can be allowed to the Austrian trade, in the other ports ceded by this Treaty.
VIII. The titles of domains, archives, plans and maps of the countries, towns, and fortresses ceded, shall be given up within two months after the period of the ratification.
IX. His Majesty the Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary and Bohemia engages to discharge the yearly interest, arrears and capitals, invested in securities of the Government, State Bank, Lottery, or other public establishments, by subjects, companies, or corporate bodies in France, the kingdom of Italy, and the Grand Duchy of Berg.
Measures shall also be taken, to completely relinquish the sum due to Mont St. Theresa, now Mont Napoleon at Milan.
X. His majesty the Emperor of the French engages to procure a full and complete pardon for the inhabitants of the Tyrol and Vorarlberg, who have taken a part in the insurrection; so that they shall not be prosecuted either in person or property.
His majesty the emperor of Austria equally engages to grant a full and complete pardon to those inhabitants of the territories of Galicia of which he returns into possession, whether civil or military, public officers or private individuals, who have taken part in the levying of troops or the formation of judicial or municipal administrations, or in any other proceeding whatever, during the war, which inhabitants shall not be prosecuted in their persons or property.
They shall have permission during a period of six years, to dispose of their properties, of whatever description they may be; to sell their estates, even those who have been considered inalienable, such as FIDUCOMMISSA & MAJORATUS; to leave the country, and to carry with them the produce of these sales, in specie, or the effects of any other description, without paying any duty for the same, or experiencing any difficulty or obstruction.
The same permission, and for the same period, shall be reciprocally allowed to the inhabitants and landholders in the territories ceded by the present Treaty.

This Convention shall regulate all that relates to the evacuation of the hospitals and magazines of the French army, and the entrance of the Austrian troops into the country by the French or
their allies; and also the evacuation of that part of Croatia ceded by the present Treaty to his Majesty the Emperor of the French.
XIII. The prisoners of war taken by France and her allies from Austria, and by Austria from France and her allies that have not yet been released, shall be given up within fourteen days after the exchange of the ratifications of the present Treaty.
XIV. His Majesty the Emperor of the French, King of Italy, Protector of the League of the Rhine, guarantees the inviolability of the possessions of his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary and Bohemia, in the state which they shall be, in consequence of the present Treaty.
XV. His Majesty the Emperor of Austria, recognizes all the alterations which have taken place, or may subsequently take place in Spain, Portugal and Italy.

SOMETHING TRAILEROUS!
An article in Mr. Jackson's paper [Federal Republican] three columns long, after libelling our own government in the most rascally manner—putting it down as devoid of honor, veracity, or patriotism—as being liars and rogues—exultingly concludes thus—
"It is indeed a consolation to every lover of his country to know, that from whatever countries honorable and manly resistance to such a spirit may have been banished, it will still be found in the SOVEREIGN of the BRITISH nation and the hearts of his subjects."
SOMETHING BRITISH!
The following is from the Boston Repertory. "We have read the conclusion of the correspondence with Mr. Jackson which is now made public—We confess we are struck with astonishment at the result. We cannot discover the least shadow of rudeness or insult on his part, through the whole—not even the slightest violation of respect.
O Americans; if this correspondence and the insulting dismissal of the British Minister do not open your eyes to the real views of your government, then would not one raised from the dead convince you."
An article in the "Spirit of Seventy six," informs, that AARON BURR is actually in the vicinity of Philadelphia; and that his object in returning to this country is to develop the whole ARCANUM of the late conspiracy, and throw himself upon the mercy of the government. Burr must doubtless, be in possession of many interesting facts—but he must labor under great difficulties to make the people believe even the truth of any statement he may offer relative to that yet mysterious transaction. I wonder if he will tell us any thing as to his being in HARPER's garret, and the military arrangements purchased in Baltimore! We have our "choice spirits."
