Mr. Early. The informer's inducement is his part of 1000 dollars from the purchaser...
Mr. Early was in favour of recommittal on several grounds...
Mr. Smilie. This is a subject interesting to all parts of the Union...
Let the trial be made—let us try to save the character of government...
Mr. Clay. It is an unjust and illiberal insinuation to say this house sanctions the sale.
Mr. Smilie. Look at the bill: does not that make us the holder and the seller of human flesh?
Mr. Holland. Unless this provision of forfeiture be retained...
A disgrace some gentlemen consider it, under a sanction of government.
I see no need of recommittal the bill. The principles of it have been most amply discussed...
Mr. Gregg. If recommitted, the principles of the bill must, according to order, be retained...
Mr. Bedinger called for the yeas and nays.
Mr. Masters spoke against the recommittal.
Mr. Alexander wished the bill recommitted. Gentlemen in favour of the principal provision of this bill have said that if the mode could be adopted...
Mr. Alexander offered other reasons for recommittal; and the ayes and noes were taken, and were—Ayes 76. Noes 40.
It was moved that the select committee consist of 17.

M. D'OUBRIL.
Observations on the conduct of M. D'Oubril, on the treaty which he signed on the 20th July, and the refusal of the emperor of Russia to ratify it.
It was expected that Buonaparte would become furious as soon as the refusal of the emperor of Russia to ratify the treaty concluded by M. D'Oubril was known.
The organs of his passions, those slaves of journalists, ought to have prepared their calumnies and their insults at the moment that the signature of this treaty had been obtained from the weakness or the perfidy of this subaltern negotiator...
But it is now necessary for us to establish the facts, and to give the public a faithful account of a single transaction, which has been the object of our remarks...
Let us then examine the conduct of M. D'Oubril, which has been so much censured...
1st. That the choice of M. D'Oubril was, in the actual circumstances, such as no other could be, and which with reason appeared, the best that could be made.
2d. That M. D'Oubril had never any other powers than those granted for sure to every negotiator.
3d. That those formal powers were still subject to his instructions.
4th. That he has neither followed his instructions nor abused his powers.
5th. That he declared to M. Talleyrand and lord Yarmouth, and that he wrote at the same time to England and St. Petersburg, that he had no power to sign what Buonaparte required of him.
6th. That Buonaparte had notwithstanding those declarations, a great interest in compelling the signature of M. D'Oubril.
7th. That he did obtain this signature from the cowardice of the negotiator, knowing at the same time the absolute inefficiency of it for its apparent object, a treaty.
8th. That he absolutely made the very use of it for which it was demanded.
9th. That if he has failed in the results that he promised himself from it, it was not his fault, but the happy effect of the firmness of England.
These are the facts which we are to establish. Let Buonaparte answer us, and he shall be satisfied with the degree of evidence that we promise to bring to this discussion.
It was in contemplation, at the time of sending M. D'Oubril to Paris, to charge a sub-minister with his mission, that he might hear, report and conclude nothing; that the tenor of his instructions, which limited his powers, might be more strict and severe; and that to such a dubious negotiator a character more imposing than it deserved might not be given.
It would, indeed, have been dangerous for it to acquire an importance in the publick opinion from the rank of the person charged with it; it might have weakened on the continent that energy and vigilance which are so necessary.
On the one hand, the emperor, in order to secure peace, because he is just, and because he loves his people; peace being the only object of his government...
But the emperor is too well known to be supposed to believe that he would give the power of making a treaty incompatible with the dignity which the safety of the state, and the minister's pledge to the confidence of nations.
But there can be no negotiation of a treaty with any treaty of peace that does not take the engagements which he had concluded with his allies, which does not establish in Europe such a political situation as would secure the balance of power...
The minister conformed himself to them, by giving to M. D'Oubril powers, such as for many ages have been given to every negotiator; but, at the same time, regulating the see that he was to make of those powers, by instructions that were to fix the extent of them, and to circumscribe them within the necessary limits.
In addition to these, his first instructions and powers were still further restrained, after M. D'Oubril had arrived in Paris.
During the residence of M. D'Oubril at Vienna, the prince of Czartorinski, aware of the projects of Buonaparte against Germany, had the prudence to send to Vienna new orders, to restrain still more strictly the powers he had received, and to regulate those of them.
In these new instructions he was enjoined to confine himself in the negotiations to the preparing a treaty on the basis which had been approved by the emperor...
These new instructions placed M. D'Oubril in that situation in which the emperor wished him to be.
But, although what we have said will doubtless be sufficient fully to expose the absurd calumnies of Buonaparte, as refuted by the circumstances, we have, however, not yet completed the circle which we have here traced for ourselves.
We shall, that Buonaparte, in launching from the weakness of M. D'Oubril this degrading calumny, knew the invalidity of the measure, which he knew would not be ratified.
He knew that it could not be ratified, because he knew that M. D'Oubril was sensible he must, at the sight of what he was commanded to do at Paris, see, that he was acting contrary to his instructions.
He alone has proved the possibility of a thing incredible in itself, the possibility of a Russian before-conceived project, to be his business to explain the cause of his resignation.
He has proved that the minister of Alexander should be intimidated by the power of Buonaparte.
He has proved that the minister of Alexander should be influenced by circumstances.
He has proved that the minister of Alexander should be influenced by the desire of peace.
He has proved that the minister of Alexander should be influenced by the necessity of establishing and maintaining peace.
He has proved that the minister of Alexander should be influenced by the stability of peace.
To this temptation, which an information was employed, we must add the following observations.
M. D'Oubril, in getting the prince Czartorinski, could not be ignorant, and was not ignorant, that the prince was determined to obtain from the nature of the emperor's love to restore his situation.
