yasitre of just retaliation on her pert, .occasioned
!Oar previous aggression : and the
.Freni-h:(;o•
lament has insisted, that our system of...block
'l existed previou4v to the decree of Berlin, was
'tlanifest violation of the received fiw-of nations.
mast, therefore, Sir, refer to the articles oittie
b:
171 n decree,- to find the principles of our system.
unimlude, which France considers tobe new and,
''ttary to the law of nations.
, By the 4th, and the Bth articles it is stated as a
Illtification of the French decree, that Great Britain
extends to pofortified towns and commercial
'rts, to harbours, and to the months of rivers, those
ON of blocka' de, which by reason aid the usage
motions are applicable only to fortified places ;
td that the rights of blockade ought to be limited
i ortresses really invested' by a sufficient force." •
It is added, in the same articles, that Great Britain
di hai declared places' to be in a state of blockade,
:tore 1.0416 she has not a single ship of war,• and
at n places which the whote British Once would be
!autilcient to blockade :—entireenaits and a whole
t_
Neither, the, praclice of Great Britain nor the law
of "liens has. ever • sauitioned the rule now laid
°wo by France, t hat no 'place eXcepting fortresses
ilcomplete state of investiture, can be deemed
ftwfully blockaded by sea.
If such a rule Were to be admitted, it would be 7
cn me nearly impracticable ter Great Britain to at-
tempt the blockade of any port on the Contibent ;
and our submicsion to this prcversion of the law of
nations,4 while it would destroy one of the prin.
.
adyantaaes of our naval supeperiority would
"nrifice the conimon tightki end interests of all Ina-
litime stales.
It was evident that the blockade of May, 1806,
"133 the principal pretended justification of the de-
".eaef Berlin ; though neither the principles on
:hick that blockade was founded, nor its practi-
cal Operation, a tfOrded any colnur for the proceedings
el Prince.
11l point of date, the :blockade of May, 1806,
eeeded the Berlin Decree ; but it was a; just and
legal blockade according to the established law of
balions because it was intended to be maintained,
and was adually maintained by an adequate fonfe
appointed
to guard the whole coast described in
notification, and consequently to enforce the
blockade.
Great Britain has never attempted to dispute, that
t(he ordinary course of the law of nations, .no
blockade can - be justifiable or, valid, unless it be
ClPPotted by an adequate force destined to main-
.aiU it, and*to expose to hazard all vessels attempt 7
'ng to evade its operation. The blockade of
I;g4)G, Was notified by Mr. Secretary Fox, on this
'ear principle; nor was that blockade announced
übttl he had satisfied himself by a communication
with his Majesty's Board of Admiralty, that the
titniralty posse4cl the means, and would 'employ
,(I',ett), of watchiti the whole coast from Brest, to
"ie Elbe • Id f ff ctually enforcing the blockade.
AI .e e
The bleCkaae:of May, 1806, was therefore (ac-
elrding to the doctrine maintained by Great Britain)
Pit and lawful in its origin, because it was sup-
Ported by b:ith,, in intention 'and tact, by an tide-
ckulle naval force. This was "the justification of
that bleCkade,:untd the period of acne when the
urders it; Council were issued.

'1147.0.(10s in Council were founded on a distinet
l'l'lnciftle—that of dettosive retaliation. France had
ealared 'bi,-,c!).od: of all the ports add coasts of
,

or being nle. assign, any tbrce .to support that

'"coast of France, even without the application of any

A„ ewing the course of this statement,' it will

Fmen2t.; because that blockade was, maintained by a

las not therefore justified either under the pretext
I"eged by France, or under those supported by Amer

Principle of defensive retaliation against the yin-
i"vl of the law of natiens committed by France in

`43€ the Orders in'Council ; and lastly, that the

If other proofs were necessary to show the con-
tinued eXistenc, of those obnoxious Decrees, they
late be discoVered in the_ imperial edict, 'dated at
Foutainbteau, in Odober le, 1810—that Mon-
strous pseduction of violence, in which they are
made theibasis el a 'System of general and unexam-
pled tyranny and oppression overt all countries sub-
ject to, allied with,' or within the reach of the
power of France,•in the Report of the French Mi-
nister. for Foreign Atlairs, dated last December;
and .in the letter of the French Minister of Justice
to the President of the Council of Prizes. To this
latter, Sir, Y .would wish particularly to invite your
attention ; the date is the 25th December, the au-
thority it conies from is unquestionable,' and you
will there find, Sir; the Duke of Massa, in giving
instructions to the Council of Prizes, in conse-
quence of the President of the!United States' Pro-
clamation of Nov. a, most cautiously avoiding to as-
sell that the French Decrees were repealed, and
ascribing not to such repeal, bUt to tire ambiguous
passage e bid). he quotes at length from hant-
PagnY'6 letter of Angus 5, the new attitude taken by
Aluerica ; and you will also find an evidence in the
same 'letter, of the continued'capture of Ameticen
ships aVer November, and tinder the. Berlin and
Milan Decrees, having beeu' contemplated by the
French Gaverninent, since there is a spec'al direc-
tion given ter judgment on such ships being sus-
pended in consequence of the American Protilarva-
tioe,ao for Omit being kept as pleiges fur its en-
forcement.,
Can then, Sir, theie decrees be said to have been
repealed at the period When the proclamation of the
President of the United States appeared, or when
America enforced her Non-importation Ad against
Great Britain I Aresthey so at this moment I To the
first question, the state papers which l have referred
to, appear to give a sufficient answer ; for, even
supposing that the repeal has since taken place, it is
clear that'en November ad there was no question
as to that not beieg then the case ; the capture of
the' ship NeW-Orleans Packet seized at Bouide.anx,
and the Grace Anne Green, seized at or carried into
Marseilles;,being cases arising under the French de-
crees of Berlin and Milan, as is very evident. Great
Britain might therefore complain, of being treated
with injesticebs America, eveu suppusiee that the
conduit Of France had since been unequivocal. , •
• America contends, that the French decrees are
revoked as it respects her ships upon the high seas :
and,you, Sir, inform me, that the only two Ame-
rican ships taken under their maritime 'operation,
as you ate pleased 'to term it, since November, t,
have been restored but may they not have been
restored in consequence of
,the satisfaction felt in
France at.the pJ,sitig of
_the Non-i•uportation Act
in the Arncricart Congress, an event so little to be
exp...cted ; for, otherwise having been captured in
ranee contra-diction to the supposed revocation, why
were they not restored immediately ?
The, fears of the French navy, however, prevent
many cases of elle kind occurring on the ocean under
'the decrees of Berlin and. Milan ; but the Most ob-
noxious and destructive parts 'of these decrees are
;exereised with full violence, not only in the ports
`ot. France, but • in those of ail other countries to
which France thinks she can commit injustice .with
impunity,
• Great Britain has• a right to complain that neutral
nations should 'oVerlook 'the very vt orst features of
• those extraordinary ads, and attouldsutfer their trade
to be Made a Medium of an unprecedented, violent,
and monstrous system of attack upon her resources ;
a species of warfare, unsttempted by any' civilised
nation befute the present period.
.Not only has
Antelicasnirered her
.trade converted into the-means
of annoyance to Great Britain euder the proytsions
of the French decrees; but JPI construing those de-
crees. as extinct upon a deceittill deciaiatien of the
Frenclilabinet, she has enforced het Nou-itopurta.
tion Act against Great; Britain.
Under these citcumstanees, I am ioStruaed by
my Goveinment to urge to that of the United States,
the injusticeof thes enforcing that Ad agaiest his
Majesty's dominions ; and I cannot( but hope that a
spirit of justice will induce the United States Go,
vernment to re-consider the line of 'conduct they
' have pursued,' and at least to re-establish their
former slate of stria eeutrality. ,
I have only to add, Sir, that On-my part I ishalt
ever be ready to meet you On any opening which
may seem to afford a proaped of restoring complete
harmony between the two countries, and that it
will at all tides give the the greatest satistadioe to

MR. MONROE TO MR. FOSTER.

Department of State, July 23, 031 t,

I have submitted to the President your s•-yveral
letters of the 3t.t. and Wilt of this month,. relative to
the British Orders. in Council, and the blockade of
May, tsOti ; and I have now the honour to com-
municate to you his sentiments on the vie v which
you have presented of those measures of yout Go-
vernment.

It was hopedlhat your communication would have
led to an immediate OCCOITPTIOCIaticiII of the, differ-
ences subsisting between other entiturit.a, on the
ground on which alone it is possible to. inert you.
It is regretted that you have confined yourself to A
vindication of those measures which produced some
of them.
The United 'States are as little disposed,noW
beretofOre to enter into the question concerning the
priority of aggression by the two belligerents, ;loco
could not be justified by either by the prioriv of Those
of the other; but as you bring forward that plea in
support of the Orders in Council, I 'llll.lil be per
mitted to (=ark, that you have yoursell furnished,
a conclusive answer. to it, by admitting that the
blockade .of May, ,1806, which was prior to Ge
first of the Drench decrees, would not be legal, tat,-
less supported throng') the whole extent of the coast
from the Elbe to Brest by an adequate naval .force.
That such a naval foiCe* was :actually applied
continued in the requisite strictness until that block-
ade was comprised in and superseded' by the Orders
Of November in the follo&ing year, or even waif
the French decree of the. 'same: year, will not, I
presume, be alleged.
But waving this question'of priority, can it be seen.
without serprise and regret,, that it is still contend-,
ed that the Orders in Council are justified hy the
-principle of retaliation, and that this principle 'IS'
strengthened by the inability of France to enforce
her decrees? A. retaliation is in its name, and • its'
essential 'cliaratAer, returning like tar like. Is the.
deadly blow of the Orders in Council, against one
half ot our commerce, a return of like for like, an
enipty threat like that in the French Decrees against
the other half ? It must be a vindictive hostility, as-far
as its effects fall on the enemy, hut when falling"on
a neutral, who on no pretext can be liable to mote
than the measure of injury receised through such
neutrals would not be a retaliation, but a positive
wrong, by the plea on which it is founded.
It is to be fartheriemarked, that the Orders in
Council went even beyond the plea, such as has ap-
peared to de, in extending the-operation against the
trade of the United States,.with nations, which like
Russia, had not adopted the French Decrees, and
with all nations which had merely excluded the lit i-
tish flag—au exctosion resultiog as twitter of course
with tesped to whatever nation Great Britain might
happen le be nt, war.
I am fir from viewing the modification originally
Contained in -these orders,. which permits neuttals to
prosecute their trade with the! Continent , through
Great Biitaiu, in the favourable light which you re-
present it. It, is impossible to proceed to nutlet the.
effect of 019 modification, without expressing our
astonishment at the exttavagancte of the political
pretension Set up by it : a, pretension which is' ut-
terly Incompatible with the sovereignty and inde-
pendence of other states. In a commercial view it is
. not less objectionable, as it cannot tail to prove de-
sitectie to note oil commerce. As an enemy, Great
Boutin cannot trade with Fratice. Nor can .France
permit a menu' to come into, her ports, from Great
Britain. The attempt of Great Britain to force our
trade through her ports would have therefore the
commerciat effect of depriving tune United States al-
together Of the market ot her enemy for their pro-
ductions, and,of destroyiog their' value in her mar-
ket by a set charge of it. Heretofore it has been the
usage. at belligerent nations to carry 'ort their trade
thrOugh the intervention 'of 'neutrals; and this bad
the beneficial oiled of extending to the tanner the
advantages of peace. white suffcring under the cala-
mities or war. To reverse the same, and to extend
to natierisat peace the calateittes of war, is a charge
as novel and.extraerdinary, as it is at variance with
justice end public law, •
Against this unjust system, the untied States en-
tered, at an early period, their' Solemn protest... They
considered it their duty to esince to the ,woild their
high disapprobation of it,. and they have dene
by such' acts aS-were deemed. most .consistent. with
the rights and the policy of the nation. Remote
froluthe contending scene which desolates Europe,
it has been then uniform object. to avoitlibecoming
a party' ter the war. • :With this view they have en-
deavoured to cultivate friends tip with both parties
system of conduct ,‘ Inch ought to have pro-
duced Jhat etlecr„:•. 'They have done justice' to
each party M. eves), tlBll9.Ciioll in which they have
been 'separately engaged with it. They have ob-
sered the imperil:oov Which was due to both
as belligeients standing on equal hav-
ing in no instance givtin a prefere4 to either
at the expence of the other. They have twine,
too, with equal indulgefice, injuries from both;
being witting, st bile it was possible to impute
them to easoalties inseparable from a cause of war,
not to a delibeyate intention to violate their right's)
and even when that intent'on could not be mistaken,
they have not best sight .of the. ultimate 'objeet.of
their policy. In the measures to which they have
been:c.ompelle.d to resort, they have in all respOs
Maintained. pelfie relations eith both partitw The
alternative present.ed by 'their late ads was referred

Aid. They consisted merely in, the enforcement of ,
the Non-importation Ad:against Great Britain, in
that unexpected and improbable contingency.
The letter of the sth of August, which announced ,
thn revocation of the, French Decrees, was commu-
nicated to this. Government ; in .consequence of
which the President issued a Pioclamation on tile
2d of November, .the day after that on which the
repeal of the French Decrees was to take till:0, in
which he declated, that all the resttialotta Impost d
by the Act of May 1,1811 r should cease, and be
discontinued in relation to France and her .clepen.
dencies. It was a necessary consequence. of this
• proclamation, also, that if Great Britain did not re-
vok e her editls, the Non-importation Att would
operate on her, at the end of three months. This
actually took plade. She decliiied the revocation,
and on the tad Of February last, that law took effect.
In confirmation of the piockimastion, n A& of Coti
greys was .passed on the Stl of March ')lluwing..
Great Britain still -declines to revoke her edicts on

the pretensiOn that France has not revoked her's.'
Under that impression she infers, that tint United ,
States have done her injustice by carrying into of
feet the non-importation against her.
The .United,Stltes maintain that France has re.;
yoked her edicts so far as they violated tltcir tAttrat
rights, and were coriteMplated by the law on ,May
1, 1810, and have on that ground particularly
claimed, and do expect, of Great Britain a similar
revocation.
The revocation announced officially by the French
,
Minister of Foreign Affairs to .the Minister
po!ertintry of the United States at Paris, on the
of August, 1810, was in itself sufficitnat to justify
thociaim of the ',United States to a corresp,onclent
measure from Great Britain. Site had derAareo that
she would+ proceed pari passu in the repeil
Fiance ; nand the .day being fixed when the rep4l
of the French decrees should take effect., it was'rea,
sonable to conclude that Great Britain would fix the

have announced the -revocation of the E,lias of both
Powers'at the same time, and in consequence there.

course of 'proceeding in transaelions between hide.
penclent.S.ates, awl Such ,the,cotiduit which they
generally observe to etch. other. In all compacla
between. nations, it is the duty of each other to per,
form what it stipulates, and to presume on the gond
faith of the other for the like perlormance:
United State's lAving made a propthat to both ha..
. ligerents, were bound to actetpt a compliance, from
either ; and it was do objection to the French corn-
pli.ance ; that it was in a form to take etlea at a
future day, that being alarm not minimal in laws
and. in other public aCts. Even, when nmibos are 'at
war, and make.peace, this obligation of neutral con-
lidence exists, and is respelied.. In treaties of win-
armee, by which their future intercourse is to be
governed, the obligation. is. the same, .11' distrust
and jealousy is allowed to prevail, the moral tie
which tilods.rtatiorni together in -all their relations,
in war as well as in peace, is broken. '
What would-Great Britain have hazars'o by a

of their distressing effect on (lento) puvhlrs. Hore,'

up such a claim ? No example of it can lie found

If delays have taken place in the restitution of
American property, and in placing the American
Commerce in the ports of France out a fair and satis-
ladory basis, they involve
.questienseas has already
been observed, in which the United Stales alone are
interested. 'As they do not violate the revocation

I proceed to 'notice another part of your letter-of
the ad instant, which is e iewed in a more favourable
light. The President has received with great satis-
faction the communication, that, should the Orders
in Council of taq7 be ievolted, the 'blockade of
May -of the preceding year would tease with thern`;
and thatany blockade which should afterwards be
institred, should be duly notified end maintained
by an adequate' force. This-frank and coedit:it de-,

France to maintain her faith would have replaced
Great Britain at the point from which, she had de-
' pelted. To say that a disappointed reliance on the
good faith.of her enemy would have reproached her
. toyeaight, would be to set a higher value' on that
eeality than reo consistency And good faith, and
would sacrifice to a mere suspicion towards an efie-
my the plain obligations ofejustice towards a friend-

Great-Britain-has declined proceeding part passu

edicts. She has held aloof; and claims of the
United States proof not only that France has re-
yoked her dereees, but that she contiuues to act in

sufficient-to seite, that riot one vessel has bi;en cop-

was detained, but never condemned. The Grace
Ann Green, from the same British Port. to Mar-
seilles, was likewise detained, but afterwards dell
veered up unconditionally to the owner, as was such
part of the cargo of the New Orleans Packet as
consisted of the produce of the United States,; Both
these veesele -proceeding froM a British pert, car-
ried cargoes, some articles of which in .:each were
prohibited by laws of France, or admissible by

rights. Nu such cause would be afferded,.even in

In denying the. revocation of the elecrees, so far as
it is a proper, subject of discossion- between us, it
might reasonably be expected that you would pro-
-, duce some examples of vessels taken at see, in voy-
agee-te British ports, or on their return home., and
. condemned under them by a French Tribttnal. None
