We have this morning received the documents
which acccrrupanied the Message from Mr.-MAnpt.
SON to the Congress, which we yesterday laid be,-
fore our Readers. They are so voluminous that we
can only, at present, gibe a short abstra6l of them.
e
The first is a letter from a Mr. HENRY, the supposed
Agent of the British Government, to Mr. MONROE,
the American Secretary, staling that he was em-
ployed by the , British Government on a mission
into the North American States, and enclOsing
all the documents and correspondence of which he
was in possession. This letter is dated rhiladelphia,
Feb. 20, 181 2.

The next purports to be a Letter - from Mr. RY-
LAND, 'Secretary to Sir J. CRAIG, to Mr. HENRY,
proposing, to him to undertake a Secret and Confi-
dential Mission to the American States. The next
document are the ins.trations, stated to be most Se-
cret and Confidential, from Sir J. CRAIG to Mr.
HENaY,,direeting him how to proceed when he
shall arrive in Ainerica.

The following is an extraa from them :
" It has been supposed, that if the Federalists of
the Eastern States should be successful in obtaining
that decided influence, which may enable them to
ditect the public opinion, it is not improbable that,
rather than submit to a continuance of the difficul-
ties and distress to which they are now subjeet, they
will exert that influence to :ring about a separation
from the general' Union. The earliest information'
on this subjea may be of great consequence to our
Government, as it may also be, that it should be
informed how far, in such an event, they would
look up to England for assistance, or be disposed to
enter into a connelion with us. •

" Although it would be highly inexpedient that
you should in any manner appear as an avowed
agent, yet if you could contrive to obtain an inti-
macy with any of the leading party, it may not be
improper that you should insinuate, though with
great caution, that if they should wish to enter 'into
any communication with our government through
me, you ale authorised to receive any such, and will
safely transmit -it to me." Then follow
Sir JAMES CRAIG'S credentials to Mr. HENRY.
Fifteen Letters, among which are, a Letter, No. 6,
from Mr.,H. to Sir J. CRAIG, stating, he had suffi-
cient means of information to judge the proper pe-
riod, when the Governor-General of British America
might open a correspondence with ;hose Citizens of
the United States who were in opposition to their
own Government.—A Letter,.No. 8, from Mr. H.
contains a project by which the Non-Intercourse
Act might be rendered inoperative.--A Letter,
No. 13, from Mr. H. seems to consider the hopes
of the separation of the States, as considerably les-
sened.—A Letter, No. 14, that the change of affairs
iu America led him to think that his residence in
America would be unprofitable to England. Let-
ter, No: 15, from Mr. HENRY, dated -Montreal, an-
nounces his return, by the desire of Mr. RYLAND,
into Canada.
Then follows Mr. HENRY'S Memorial to Lord
LIVERPJOL, inclosed in a letter to Mr. PEEL, dated
June 13, 1811.
In this Memorial he alludes to the objeft of his
mission, which " was to promote and encourage the
federal party to resist the measures -of the General
Government : to offer assurances of aid and support
from his Majesty's Government of Canada ; and to
open a communication between the leading men
engaged in that opposition and the Governor-Gene-.
ral, upon such a footing as circumstance might'sug-
gest ; and finally to render' the plans then in con-
templation subservient to the views of his Majesty's
Government.

" The undersigned undertook the mission, which
lasted from the month of January to the
,month of
June, in.lusive, during which period those public
ads and legislative resolutions of the Assem`dies of
Massachusetts and Connedicut were passed, which
kept tht:General Government .of the United Slates
in check, and deterred it limn cat Tying into execu-
tion the measures of hostility with Which Greatßri-
tain was menaced."

The Memorial concludes with saying that, " the
appointment of Judge Advocate General of the Pro-
vince of Lower Can Ala, with a salary of 5091. a-year,
or a Consulate in the United Stwes, sine cuiia',would
be considered by him as a liberal discharge of any
obligation that his Majesty's Government may en-
tertain in relation to his services."
