dent. Before the receipt Of this mes
sage, the majority contended that the
publication of the French papers would
be a breach of confidence towards the
French court, as well as disrespectful to
the Executive. But when the President
left the question of publishing Cham
pagny's letter to the, decision of Con-
gress, the breach of confidence towards
France was no longer an obstacle. An
intimation from the Executive was more
powerful, more convincing, than the
most cogent arguments of an eloquent
minority ; and the publication was una
nimously agreed to.
To the Senate and house of Representa-
tiOes ofthe United States. :.
Believing that the confidence and u
MON of our fellow citizens, at the pre-
sent crisis, WILDE still further confirm
ed by the publication of the letter of Mr..
Champagny to General Armstrong, and
that of Mr.. Erskine to the Secretary of
State, communicated with my message
of the, 3Oth ult. and therefore that it
may be useful to except them from the
confidential character of the other docu-
1nents accompanying this message,
leave to the consideration of Congress
the expediency of making them pub

Translation ofa letter from Mr.. CHAM
bagny, to general Armstrong, dated
Paris, Jan. Is, SOs. )
SIR,
The different notes which you have
done me the honour Ito address to me,
have been laid before MS majesty.
The proceedings of England towards
all governments are so contrary to the
law of nations, and to all thearules so
constantly observed, even among enc
mics, that no recourse against this pow
or is any longer to be found in the ordi-
nary means of repression. In order to
annoy her, it is become necessary to
turn against her the arms which she
makes use of herslf; and iftransient in
conveniences result therefrom, it is to
her alone that they are to be imputed.
Since England respects no laws, how
could they be respected with regard
20 herr The maritime laws which she

here described as coming from some other
place, because I imported it to Ireland, and
it was then brought to Liverpool, because it
could not DC soiad 90 advantage 1T the port at
which it was.
Do you apprehend that the parts of this
importation OF stores, which dc not come
from America, Come FROM the north of Eu-
rope Certainly, part of the tar imported
into Liverpool, comes from the north of Eu-
rope.
Any considerable proportion from the Bri-
fish colonies in North Amcricas No; the
bulk Of and nearly the whole OF the turpcn-
tine, come from the Southern states Of the
United States.
Do not you think that the non-importati-
on act WAS in itself Symptom of hostility
i think IL was solely a symptom of Precau-
ton.
How was that measure to operate as a
measure of precaution From all the infor-
NATION have had with respect to America,
either from my partner or from Amcr-
cans in this country, it has been uniform
ly my conviction that it has been far from
the intention of the Americans, either the
American government, or the inhabitants,
the subjects of America. to take hostile
measures with respect to this country, and
therefore i consider the measure ofthe non
importation act as intended simply as that
kind OF restraint, with respect to the CONNER
cial intercourse between the two countries,
which might operate favorably in the event
of difference with respect to the two coun-
tries and not a measure inten ded or calcula-
ted to lead to rupture.
You have stated that when YOU went to
Birmingham the impression made upon your
mind was, that the deficiency of orders
which had recently taken place was in con-
sequence of the orders in council how was
that impression made upon your mind Be
Cause nothing but the orders of council, as
lpalpable fact, was at al before the mer-
chants in Birmingham, the embargo was
not known and could not be known the ia
king place ofthe non-importation act in De-
Icember was problematical it might or it
might not, from the fact Gifts not having ia
ken place the year before there was a
strong probability that it would not the or
ders of the council being alone before their
mind, as palpable fact, were the conside-
ration with them against shipping goods :.
and the consideration proceeded from this,
that the orders in council were, in their ap-
prehension, snch.measures as wosld lead to
the most serious interruption of our com
merce between America and this country.

Yet vigour and youth with bright visions had
hr'd thee,
And rose buds of health have blown deep
on thy cheek
The songs of the sweet 5ards of ERIN inspir'd

And urg'd thee to wander like laurels to
seek.
Yes, oft has thou sung of our kings crown'd
with glory,
Or signing fepealed the lovers iona lay
And oft has thou sung of the bards fam'd in
story,
Whose wild notes of rapture have long
past away.
Thy grave shall be screen'd from the blast &

ERIN's children Shall wet with their tears tiny

Her youth shall lament thee, and carol thy |
