FARTHER. DOCUMENTS ACCOMPANYING THE mg-
SIDENT'S MESSAGE.
MR. GRAHAM TO MR. RUSSFLL!
" Department of State, Aug, 9, 1812
StR,-.The Secretary left this city about ten days
ago, on a short visit to Virginia. Since that period
Mr. Baker has, in consequence of some dispatches
from his Government addressed to Mr. Foster, made
to me a communication respecting the intentions of
his Government, as regards the Orders in Council.
It was of a character, however, so entirely informal
and confidential, that Mr. Baker did not feel him-
, self at liberty to make it in the form of 3 note-verbal
or pro memoria, or even permit me to take a memo-
,' randum.of it at the time he made it. As it authorises
an expectation that something more precise and de.
finite, in an official form, may soon be received by
this Government, it is the less necessary that I should
go into an explanation of the views of the President
in relation to it, wore particularly as the Secretary of
State is dAy e;pected, and will be able to do it in a
manner nu;rz satisfactory.—l have the honour to be,
&c. &c. (Signed) JOIIN GRA 11A11."

Memorandum referred—to in the :hove Letter.

It Mr. Bakef' verbally 'communicated to me, for
the information of the Presicknt, that he bad r,:ccived
dispatches from Lis Government, addressed to Mr.
Foster, dated (I believe about the 171.11 of ?one) from
which he was authori*d t 4• say, than an official
de-
claration would be sent to this country, that the Or-
ders in Council, so 'far as they affected the United
States, would be repealed on the Ist of August, to
he revived on the lst•of May, 1813, unless the con-
duct of the French Government, and the vesiilt of the
communicaions with the American Government,
should be such As, in the opinion of his Maje.ity, to
render their revival unnecessary. Mr. Bak4l7tore-
over stated, that the Orders would be revived, pro.
vided the American Government did not, within
fourteen days after they received the official declara-
tio of their repeal, admit British armed vessels into
their ports, and put an end to the restrictive mea-
;tires which had grown out of the Orders in council.
" The dispatches :tuthotisiug tls communicatiou

to the American Government expressly directed, that
it should be made verbally, and Mr. Baker did not
considqr himself at liberty to reduce it to .writing,,
even in the form of a noteverbal, or pro metnerAa, or to
salter me to take a memorandum of his commuoica-
tion at the time he made it. I underwiod from him,
that the dispatches had been opened by Mr. Foster,
at Halifax, who, in consequence of a conversation he
had lia„.l with Vice Admiral Sawyer and Sir John
Sherbrooke, had authorised Mr. Baker to say, hat
thew Gentlemen would agree, as a measure leading
to a suspension of hostilities, that all captures made
after a day toibe fixed, should notbe proceeded against
immediately, but be detained to wait the future de-
cision of the two Governments. Mr. Foster had not
seen Sir George Prevoti, but bad written to him by
express, and did not doubt but that he would agree
to an arrangement for the temporary suspension of
hostilities. Mr. Baker also stated, that he had re-
ceived an xuthority from Mr. Fostee to act as Charge
d'Affaires, provided the American Government
would receive him in that characters for the purpose
of enabling him officially to communicate the decla-
ration which was to be expected fr.Om the British Go-
vernment ; his functions to be understood, of course,
as ceasing on the renewal of hostilities.
" I replied, that although to so general and in-
formal a communication, no answer might be neces-
sary, and certainly no particular answer expected;
yet I was authorized to say, that the communication
is received with sincere satisfaction, as it is hoped,
that the spirit in which it was authorized by his Go-
vernment may lead to such farther communications
as will open the way, not only for an early and satis-
factory termination of existing hostilities, but to that
entire adjustment of all the differences which pro-
duced them, and that permanent peace and solid
friendship which ought to be mutually desired by
both countries, and which is sincerely desired by this.
With this desire, an authority was given to Mr. Rus-
sell on the subject of an armistice, as introductory to
a final pacification, as has been made known to Mr.
Foster ; and the same desire will be felt on the *re-'
ceipt of the farther and more particular commusic.a.l
tions, which are shortly to be expected, u ith respect
to the joint intimation from lgr. Foster and the Bri-
tish Authorities at Halifax, on the subject of suspend-
ing judicial proceedings in the case of maritime cap-
tures, to be accompanied by a 4-uspension of military
operations. The authority given to Mr. Russell just
alluded to, and of which Mr. Foster was the bearer,
is full proof of the solicitude of the Government of
the United States to bring about a general suspension
of hostilities on admissible terms, with as little delay
as possible. It was not to be doubted, therefore, that
any other practicable expedient for attaining a similar
result would readily be concurred in. Upon the most
favourable consideration, however, which could be
given- to the expedient suggested through him, it did
not appear to be reducible to any practicable shape
to which the Executive would be authorized to give
it the necessary sanction ; nor, indeed, is it probable,
that if it was less liable to insuperable difficulties, it

could have any material effect previous to the result
of the pacific advance made by this Govcrnment, and
which must, if favourably received, become operative
as soon as any other arrangement that could now be

and a quarter. I made.
We congratulate our Readers on this intelligence.. "It was stated by Mr. Baker, that the President
The brave Americans are covering themselves with did not, under existing circumstances, consider Mr.
glory. This is the second frigate captured by them Foster as vested with the power of appointing a
from the English since the commencement of the Charge d'Affaires ; but that no difficulty in point of
war. These boasting marauders (briganti), who form would be made, as any authentic communica-
so vain-gloriously styled themselves the lords of the tion through him, or any other channel, would be
ocean, are digraced, beaten, captured !—And by received with attention and respect."
whom ?—by a nation whom they affected to despise! WASHINGTON, NOVEMBER 6.
On equal terms too—ship to ship—man to man ! i
The subject ef an embargo has been tip this day,
Hew will these boasters (fanfaroni) gloss over this
and is for the present at rest. Harper, from New
second defeat ?—The old tale of disparity of men •
Hampshire, she:tly after the meeting of the House,
and guns will sot again impose on the world. The
largest of the American frigate (all of which we
stated that he had a proposition to make which, in
his opinion, required skecrecy ; of course the galleries
have seen in our port) only carries 40 guns,"—(lllo-,
niteur Neapolitan. November 13.) i were cieared . He
then
observed, that there was
such a scarcity of bread stuff in the eastern States as
he believed called for a prohibition of exportation,
and moved a resolution for an enquiry by the Com-
mittee of Commerce and Manufactures, as to the
expediency of laying an embargo on wheat and flour.
Newton, from Virginia, was for adopting the mea-
sure as one of general policy, and, therefore, moved
a resolution for an embargo.
The question has been taken on both resolutions,
and they have been negatived by great majorities.
WASHINGTON CITY, NOV. 7.

Notwithstanding Mr. Harper's resolution for an
embargo was negatived by a large majority, I am
not sure but an embargo may be laid before the close
of the Session. When the Presidential election is
closed, and the people of the wheat country have dis-
posed of their crop, this question. will probably be
again agitated ; many of the Members may then
change their minds, and the vote be quite diXerent
from what it was yesterday.
[From the Philadelphia Gazette.)
From the temper of some great people at Wash-
ington, it would net be surprising if a general arm is-
tice were to be proclaimed by the Ist December.
In the highest administration circles in the city of
Washington, it was asserted on Monday last, that
the principal objection to a raconciliation with Great
Britain, has been satisfactorily removed by the re
scinding order of June '26.
A distinguished Senator, whose standing and in-
fluence is inferior to none connected with the Cabinet,
declared that the article in that order, reserving to
Great. Britain the right, under certain contingencies,
of reviving the orders in Council, in no degree dimi-
nished the effect of the rescinding clause. He had tlo
doubt that by Christmas, a perfect tolderstanding
.\could take place. •
The war with England, even among. mo.ny the
distinguished advocates of that ine:i.,tire, does not
appear to have produced an indifference as to the
conduct of France. It is currently reported at Wash-
ington, that but a short time elapse, before a
measure of a very decisive nature will be proposed in
relation to the contumacious conduct of Bonaparte.
Perhaps no juncture could he more opportune than
the present, to extort from this haughty and insolent
Ally a small measure of indemnity for the conti-
nued injuries he has committed upon our rights and
property.

WASHINGTON, NOV. 10.

Tl7e House met this morning at the usual hour,
but there was nothing done worthy of notice. Mr.
ritkin presented a petition from sundry merchants of
