6 Your unanswerably reply to Mr.. En-
ekine's letter Of the 23d February, has left
nothing to be urged against the orders in
council upon the score Of right but there
NAV be room to hope that the effect, which
! your reply can hardly have failed to produce
nnon ministers, as well by its tone as by its
reasoning, will, if followed up, become, I'M
der actual circumstances, decisive. The
discussion, which Mr.. Roses preliminary
a the affair of the Chesapeake has under
rone. gives encouragement to an expecta-
ton that the government will not now be
backward to reIinquish it, and to renew their
overture of satisfaction in way more con-
x;stent with reason and more likely to pro-
duce Just and honorable result.

NIT our government by any thing I shall
do or say, that, if I cannot make things
better than they are, I viii not make them

& NV view of the course, which our ho-.
nor and our interests have required and still
REQUIRE, is as you know, in precise con-
formity with that of the President; but ii
Y were otherwise, should make his view,
and not my own, the rule on my con-
duct.
