• We yesterday laid before our Readers • the
Message of Mr.-INlAnniooN'to Congress, which
may "(be considered' as the Manifesto of the Ame-
rican Government. • In this Document Mr..MAD-
. DrsoN recapitulates all the subjects of complaint
against this country, which have been so often
urged and so often refuted, but he cautiously
avoids answering any of the charges which have
been preferred against the American . Govern-
ment, for the decided, partiality which it had
manifested towards France, and for the various
acts of aggression which it has either adopted or
encouraged against Great Britain. Mr. MADDI-
soN begins, by complaining that our cruizers
search American ships for British . subjects ; this
practice he calls " a crying enormity," but lie
forgets to state, that our Government aban-
doned its claim to search American ships of
war,. and to add, that British seamen were, by
'the most barefaced and contemptible frauds,
invested with the character of American citizens,
and that in that character the American Govern-
. ment refused to give them up. Mr. :11.ADDISON
complains of our blockades, latit'hc forgets to add,
that our blockade); Would not 'have injured the
Americans, if they had adhered to the character of
neutrals, and had not endeavoured to carry on }th
intercourse with one of the Belligerents in time of
vrar, which that power would not have suffered
her to carry on in time of peace. When our fleets
had swept the merchant ships of France from the
ocean, and either captured or shut up her ships
of war in her ports, the Americans, • though neu-.
trals, wished to supply the place of the destroyed
marine of France, to carry on the trade between

the mother country and the colonies, nay to carry
on the coasting trade of France. hi time of
peace, France -Would net stiffer her to carry on
such a trade, and yet the Americans complain be-
cfuse we would not permit it to, be carried on in
time of war. , If. a neutral does not lose any of
her rights because any two Powers may be at war,
she does not acquire any new ones certainly she
cannot acquire thft right of affording to one of the
Belligerents all the assistance of an ally while she
enjoys all the security of a neutral. The American
Government, however, seemed to have entertain-
ed a most extravagant notion of the rights, andia
very imperfect one, indeed, of the duties of a neu-
tral. With respect to the Orders in Council, we still
retain the opinion which we have always expressed;
but as Government has, under all the circumstances
of the case, thought proper to revoke them, it is
not now necessary to discuss that part of the ques-
tion. Mr. TiIADDISON say; " there was a period
when a favourable change in the policy of the Bri-

tish Cabinet was justly considered as established,
r but the prospect vanished.;" he might have added,
that a Treaty between the two countries was
signed, aad that it was rejected by the Government
~ of America, although the stipulations of that Treaty
were most favourable to America. The charge
