TIMORE FEDERAL REPUELICANt •
JULY 27.]
WITH MR. FO.ITER.
It is at length ascertained, through the Intern.
gelicer (we may say officially) that Mr. Foster's ne-
gotiation has terminated in the manner which evert
intelligent politician, both sides the water, must
have anticipated.
Our Readers will recollect, that long anterior,
and subsequent to the Miniiter's arrival, the opinion
has been uniformly maintained in this Journal, that
no terms which England could offer, consistent with
her own honour and security, would be acceded to
by the Executive. The idle tales circulated at vari-
ous periods, and under the most specious forms, of
Colonel Monroe's amicable and pacific temper tOb,
wards England, have constantly been regarded as
mere stale tricks to dupe and mislead the credulous
and unwary. The sacrifices of consistency and
principle readily assented to by that gentleman, the
interview at Monticello which preceded and led to
his •promotion, and his verbal and written declara-
tions of an unqualified approval of Mr. Madison's
system, left no room to doubt his determination to
co-operate cordially in the established system of
hostility to England, and partiality for France. The
conductors of some Gazettes were artfully impreg-
nated with the absurd notions, which it suited the
jugglers of Washington to disseminate through
their local agents and retained missionaries ; and
in spite of the strongest concurrent circum-
stances they have insisted on the probability of
a favourable termination to the new mission,
and the equal improbability of a rupture with
Mr. Foster. Such an idea being exclusively
meant to subserve electioneering purposes while it
was resisted by past events, and the actual state of
things notoriously existing, it was to be presumed,
that independent, sagacious journalists, would not
be induced to lend themselves to the sinister views
of men, who have never failed to deceive and disap-
point all who reposed confidence in their veracity
and honourable intentions. We will merely say,
that a becoming expectation has been formed, that
the experience now gained will prevent a repetition
of those idle and absurd Speculations, which answer
no other purpose by their propagation than to en-
courage a recurrence by those who originate ahem,
to the arts of fraud and deception.
It appears by the 'official Gazette of Government,
that the preliminary points upon which the rupture
has taken place, are the Orders in Council and the
English blockade of May 1806, whilst it admitted
that Mr. Foster. had removed the obstacle in the
way of adjustment created by that.blockade.
Let us examine the views of our Government
with regard to this blockade, entertained before the
promulgittion of the false ,proclamation, the conse-
quent Non-Importation Act, and Serrurier's fatal
Embassy. We shall findolvat until lately, a con-
struction,was given to that measure, and a version
adopted„lno ways presenting what has since resulted
in, an insuperable obstacle to an adjustment. The
