5 Mivht not our mininers, in the ioseri--,
have received additional jnRrutsions, morein
detail than thofe previoufly fent, particularly
applicable to fomc points under conlide, alton
4. Mieht.not our miniters honefty entertain
different opinion of the terms of the treaty
from the Pre6dent? .ct
fether of thefe enquiries can be anfwered
in the affirmative, this high charge is annihlat-
ed : and we will appeal to every honeft and I'M
biafitd mind whether it is not more likely, THAI
fome ioch reafon, as we have intimated, did &C.
cur. than that the PRECEDENT, or McfIrs. Monroe
and P,nckney fhould have been guilty of grofs
fafehood; fallehood too which could not ef-
cape detection. The very idea that fuch men
could be guilty of falfehood is too abfurd for
belief. When to this is added an almoit una
voidable detection, we mutt fuppofe them fools
TO have uttered il. A
| We do know that a ange and unprecedent-
ed note was tackled TO the treaty. Are we GER
tain that no new principles were not introduce

they had before them, the form as well as the
fnSitance, the details as well Az the general prip
ciples. havt had very different imprefIion with
regard to the inftrument from that which they
previoufly expected it would have produced !?

gainft the u. S. and have conceived it found
policy under fuch an impreffion to accept FROM
Britain the bett terms they could get, FL bieel to
the reierved right on the par, of our government
10 adopt or reject them.
There is one fact worth here noticing. Long
fince, Mr.. King agreed with the British MiniNer
on certain terms relative TO the impeachment of
Anne T.
he was about to lign treaty. But its fienature
was arreifed in this critical moment by the lords
OF the admiralty whole earneft remembrance
prevented it.. Whathas happened once, on
point ofthe hrft importance, and yet remaining
unfettleG, may happen again, and may have oc-
Cured in this very cafe.
