Scient iudicatioa+of the dissatisfaction of this Goverament
with respect to the disavowal -cif.
The stress you have laid on what you have been pleased to
state re the substitution of the terms filially agreed ou, fur the
terms filst proposed, bass vetted no small degree of surprise.
Certain it is, that your predecessor did present, for my coati-
tlerat ion, the three etrodttiorut which now appear in the print-
ed documeut.—that he was disposed to urge them more than

the nature of two of them (bOth palpably ina.lniissilde, and
ouc more than merely Willi ‘111104111C) 4.0111 d permit ; and that
on finding his first proposals uasurcessfol, the wore reason-
able terms comprised an the aerinigement respecting the
Orders in Council were adopted. And what, sir, is there in
this to couch:usury the conchs. sssss t 011 have drawn in favour
'deist richt of His Britannic Majesty to disavow th:• pestered-
in;' is any thing more common iw public nozociatious than
to begin with a higher demand, and, that failing, to descend
to a lower To hate, if not two sets of iitatroctious, two,
or more than tan grades of propositions in the same act of in-
structions; to negiu • ith what is the rant desiralde soul to
cud with what ta tuned Is be admissible in ease the more de-
sirable s►ould Not be attainable. This must be obvious to
eve, v enderstasidiag, and it is confirmed by universal expe-
rience.

What were the real mod entire instruct:one given to your
predecessor to a qacatiou easei.tially between him and li:s
Goverument. That he had, or at leirit, that he leelievid he
hadossflicient •othority to conende the arrangetuitit, his for-
mal umurances, duriug our dratusidoits, were such as to have
▪ room fur doubt. His sulisequentiletter of the t nth Jame,
renewing hie assurance le inc f, that the teams of the agree-
ment au happily concluded by the reeerft negotiation wiU he
strictly feltilkd on the part of His Majesty" is au evident in-
dication of what his persaosion then was as to his instructions.
Aud with s view to w=eal his 'impressions have been even
since the disavowal, roust take the liberty of referring you
to the annexed extracts (See C.) from his official letters of
the 31st July and the lath of Aupot.
Thodeelerietimi it that the do:retch from Mr. Caaniug to
Mr Erskine, of the tad January, is the only dispatch by
which the conditions were prescribed to Mr. Crskiot for the
conclusion of an arrangement ou the matter to which it re-
lates" is now for the that time made to this Governmeut.
And I need hardly add, that if that dispatch had been tom-
nitsicated at the time of the arrangement, or if it had been
known that the propersitions contained in it, and which were
at And presented by Mr. &skint, were the only noes on
which be was authorised to make an arrangement, the ar-
range'''• nt would not have been made.
As you have disclaimed rue authority to offer explanations
for the elisnviiwal, is too hate beets eolith; to ',vile: tl.e
want of so, h authority to the cousideratiso that other thee-
Drill Iml hero preferred, and as you have teen cousidered
the arsuiteattlikes un.kr which the arrangemetie to,k place
to br audit as could only lead to a disavowal, and therefore
• siipsrseirliiig the necessity of any explauat whatever, it
is to be regietted, that you had not deemed it proper to ren-
der precis aud explicit that part of your letter which
,tams to imply that you had in our conversations to relation
to the affair of the Chesapeake, following the words atom.
loatractions, held out nut only the manner in which the re-
paration Is+d been acce;oed, but tyro the form in which it
lad beets 'emitted, a. eoisoutiog his Nlajesiy to even re-
teatime the offer of reparation, and that you hail elucidated -
the obwervatoss by a relocate to the particular exp:eisism
which, at all events, p it it totally out of his pow er to coufirm

That a sustieusion of the Orders, with a view to their
being brought iiite al/coeval negociauon, is more reasouable
thau u teinuoraey submission to their authority by the
Visited States with that view, is ntwions, from the reflection,
that sueb a subtaissiou
,would necei.warily involve a rein,-
quisbment of the printiple which they have stedfieitly as-
serted, whereas a iiiiicostiuitaace of tlae Orders in Conned,
is the preorl.t actual state of thing., Would out be istrotnpa-
taste with the priuriples un which they were originally
founded

'Phis principle was, 111 you well know, the necessity of re-
taliating, through neutrals, injuries received through a vio-
lation of their rights by another Belligerent. In the actual
state of things, and under the nrtual modification of the
Orders in Conseil produced by it, it is admitted by you, that
the Orders hsve,pii practical. effect in abridging the Cool-
nwrcc of neutraW, and can of course have nu retaliating
effect soi the other Belligerents.
Although it cannot be allowed to be true that the Orders
in Council arc no longer injurious .to the commerce of the
United States, it is certainly true that they produa e no de-
gree of injury to the enemies of Great Britain that can
countenance the retaliating plea'allcged iii support of than.
What, permit inc to ask, is the degree of injury actually
accruing to the enemies of Great Britain front her ictaliat-
lug Ort4 s? Acc.wdinq to those Orders, a, tom suuditii.ilond
imwe specially taking into view along with them the proliibi
tory law of tkis couidry, in relation to France, the essential
difference betireen their repeal and their existence consists
in this—that in case of their repeal, as pledged by the ar-
rangement of Aped, the trade of the Visited States might be
carried on directly with the ports of Holland, whilst, during
their eltilltesiCse' an at present, it is to be retried on thee; the
cmitigious aud neighbouring ports. To your Own calculi
Lions, Sir, I submit, whether the inconsiderable effect of this
circuit on the prices in Holland mid in the countries sup-
plied tliningli Ler, can any longer sustain the plea of indict-
ing distress WI au sortny, or palliate the injuries d me to •
friend by a proceeding so contrary, to his sentient:lds of jus-.
thee, mid whirls subject g iiiii soiree not only to in-
convenient channels, list to oil Ihr abuses 'SIMI may rash
from tie suspicious, rent or pretended, of interested cruis-
ers. lou cannot but be sensible that is perseverance un-
der anch circumstances, in a system which cannot longer
be expla.ued by its avowed object, simile' force an c\pLwa-
lioa
by some object nut avowed. What object might be
considered es best explaining it, is an inquiry into a Inch I
du not permit myself to enter, further thaw to remark, that
in relation to the United States, it must be an illrgitiniate
object.
It remains to make a few ohsereations which are due to
the just interests of the United States, and which are in-
vited by yours, relating to the Orders in C•uucil of May
last.

You seem to eousider that measure as comprising the tit.
most precautiou that was itt the power of Ills ftritannie
Na-
jeoty to take, for pretesting losses, from his disavowal of the
engagement of your preilei essor to tinsel's of the toiled
States, who had remised their commercial pursuits uu the
faith of that act.
Without entering into a full view of the inadequacy of the
Order in that respect, I take the liberty of pointiug out the
following instances, m which it falls esseutially short of its
declared iuteutiou:
1. The Order dues not provide fur the important cue of
vessels returning with cargoes from the purl► of liolLind.
e The exemption from interrupting of vessels bound from
t►e United States to Holland vm restricted by that Order to
such as should bare departed prate to the •20th of July, at
which date it is not tertaiu that the Order, which was not
uu dally commouicaied moil the 91st of that month, had
eves reached any One point of the United States. So that
some vevaels nosy hare sailed between the limited date aad
the arrival of the Order in the United States, and many from
distant p,irts inset have don, so after hatiativid,bvt bet ,re a
knowledge of it had become geueral ; all piruerealtig on the
faith of the arrangenieut, )ct all left by the Order e>;l•osed to
capture and condemnation.
.3. The Order does nut provide for the important case of
Moods, which bad salle.l ou the like faith, for Dutch ports,
either than those of Iluhand.

4 It does not include, is its pi /millions, the extensive hat
of vessels going Indite ctiy nom Co. United States, bet dirret
hum foreign pots to those uf 110H:tied, uur Textile tractifig
entirely Crum foreign pony to Holland; awl en both these
US, pi °reeding on the faith of for arr.togt °out pro-
fts.ed to be respetteil within the defined period.

It is trite, in these last instances, the verse Is were not to he
captured without 411 attempt, after 4 money warning, to pro-
creel In those ports. Hot I need not remind you that the
injuries incident to the delay and to the bur. sag HP of soda
way ,gds cannot have been iticoosideralik, and will Isere roust'.
ed as manifestly from the disappointed faith in the arrange-
ment, as in the cae, 4 specially provided fur, and cousenuently
with all other losses fairly resulting from the mine Rona
confident c in that met, they will fall within the just 'intent-
nifiestion for which the principle, aisunird is the Order, is a
formal pitrtgr
I conclude, Sir, with pressing upon yonr candid attention,
that the least which she President could have looked for, in
cousetlence.of the disavowal of a transaction, ant le as was
concluded by your predecessor, and carried faithfully into
et, t by this Government, wan an explauation front yours
of the cheavuwal, nut through the Minister disavowed, but
through his Merl:rotor—en explanation founded on reasons
strong and solid in themselves, and presented, neither ver-
bally now vaguely, but in a form comporthig with the urea-
siao, and with the respect doe to the chmaeter and to the
pied faith of the disappointed party ; that it has been r 1,11141,

wished to bring the anhjerts, which have been foe inAl,y aced
dettritirely arranged, into fresh negociations, us if such'
arisisgrinent bail taken ; that one of the rases thus
slighted, viz that, of the frigate Chesapeake, is a ease
fur which reparation, nut &Meet to be due, had been
previously so long withheld, or rather in which the ag-
peasant itself less 'wen spun out to the present ism-
meat, by dm eoutintiert detention of the istnitlCl It, whose

Notwithstanding there repulsive coomielerations, such is
