ship anote Of the 4th Instant, the receipt of
which has already been ack. .pwledged.
The undersigned consider it their duty to
assure lord, Holland and lord Auckland, that
nothing is more remote from the views Of
their government, than to oppose any obsta-
Gle to- fair and satisfactory conclusion OF the
present negotiation. They are persuaded,
if all the circumstances which have occurred
between the two governments, since. the
commencement of the present war, are ta-
ken impartialy INTO considera ton, that not
the slightest doubt can remain or that point.
1t is certain that the act Cf Congress, to
which their lordships have objected, is at
ttibutabe to other causes Ola very imperi,
oas nature, and that ie furnishes no sufficient
reason To call in question the sincerity with
which the. United. States have uniformly
sought to preserve the most friendly relati-
ems with Grea.-Britain. The undersigned
are, however, far from being DESTROYS to look
BACK to incidents, creVIew OF which can
serve Gully to produce regret. 1t is more
important, and therefore more agreeable, to
look forward, and to provit -by suitable ar
rnngments against the like i'll fisure.
HE undersigned fatter themselves, that
nothing %siil occur on either side, O excite
Irritation or to create new Obstacles in the :
way OF ar adjustment, which it IS confident

qGwe. they indulge tie nope that Tue

III We have received copy (sent by
you at our request) of the "act of congress,
4" to prohibit from and after the 18th of No
:" vember, the Importation into the terrific
B" ries of the u. States, of very large de-
-" scription OF goods, wares and merchandise,
" from any port or place situated in G. Bril-
F." tain or Ireland"
On afull consideration of that act, we think
1T oar duty to express our earnest hope and
expectation, that some means may be found
to suspend the execution of measure SO OPP
posite in its temper and tendency, to the
disposition and views, with which our pen
ding negotiation has been commenced and is
carrying on. q
That measure, ueless suspended, will take
effect, if not before our discussions can be
closed, at least before it is possible that. their
result can be known in the 1. States; and
would obviously lead to the necessity OF pro-
posing to parliament, similar steps on the
part of this country, by which mutual irri-
tation would be excited, and fresh mDedi-
ments created in the way Of such a final adj
Justment as, we trust, is mutually desired
We rely on you for taking such immedi-
ate steps, in this business, as may best con-
tribute to happy termination of our treaty,

between his majesty's subjects and the cit-

PIE upon neutral or friendly nations, i'm
Pede or enteeble its operation upon the
enemy.
In pursuance Of this desire, the or
der In council, which, if it had ended
with the sixth paragraph would have
oeen no more than strict and iustifable
retaliation for the French decree of No
Tember 1906, proceeds, as you will OBJ
serve, sir, to provide many material ex-
cePtions, which are calculated to qualify
the operatiop'o the order upon neutral
nations in general, but which must be
considered as most peculiarly favoura-
bic to the particular interests of the L.
States.
1t will not escape YOU, sir, that by this
order in council, thus modified and re-
Gulated, the direct intercourse of the u.
States with the colonies of the enemy is
unrestrained an indulgence which,
when 1t IS considered to be (as itrcally
Isl not only 4 mitigation Of that princi-
pie OF justreprisal upon which the order
itself is framed, but deviation in ia
vOur OF the United States, from that an
cIent and established principle Of mari
time law, by which the Intercourse with
the colonies of an enemy in time OF war
is limited to the extent which that enc
my was accustomed in time Of peace to
prescribe for it, and which, by reference
TO the conduct Of France in a time of
peace, would amount to a complete in
terdlction, cannot fail to afford to the
American government a proof Of the a.
1nicable disposition Of his majesty tow
ards the u. States.
You will observe, sir, also that the
transportation Of the colonial produce of
the enemy from the L. S. to Europe, in
stead Of being altogether prohibited
(Which would have been the natural re-
tallation for the rigorous and universal
Prohibition of British produce and manu-
features by Franco IS freely permitted
to the ports Of G. Brirain, with the
power Of subsequently re-exporting it
20 any part Of Europe, under ccr,a;n rc-
gulations.
The object Of these regulations will
be the establishment Of such protec-
ting duty, as shall prevent the enemy
from obtaining the produce Of his own
colonies at a cheaper rate than that Of
the colonies Of Great Britain. In this
duty it is evident that America is no
otherwise concerned than as BEING to

{ 3sa }

OF the principles upon which his maies-
tvs orders proceed, is that which licen-
ses the importation of all -four and
| meal, and all grains, tobacco, and other
articles, the produce of the soil of Anne
RIGA from the ports Of his dominions
into those of his enemies, without
the payment of any duty on the tran
sit. This is, beg leave to observe, an
instance in which his majesty has de-
prlved his measure Of its most ef1icaci-
Gus and hurtful operation against the
enemy through motives of consideration
Tor the interests of America. The rea-
son why his majesty could not feel him
self at liberty consistent witch what was
necessary for the execution of his pur-
pose, in any tolerable degree, to allow
this relaxation to apply to cotton, is to
be found in the great extent to which
France has pushed the manufacture
OF that article and the consequent en-
barrassment upon her trade which hea-
Wy lmpOst upon cotton, as it passes
through G. Britain to France, must ne
cessarily produce.
l cannot refrain from calling the at
tcntlon OF the government of the United
States to the contrast between the diff
tcrent modes in which his maiesty7s or
ders, and those of France, are carried
into execution. BY his maicsty's the
utmost consideration is manifested for
the interests Of those nations whose
commerce he is reluctantly compelled
to impede, and ample time allowed for
their becoming acquainted with the new
regulations and conforming TO them.
Whereas France, without any previous
notice, and without any interval, applies
! her orders TO trade already entered upon
III Ignorance Of any such orders, and
subjects TO condemnation ships, whose
voyages when commenced, were in strict
conformity to all the regulations at that
time promulgated by France.
Even with these and other modfca-
tions, his majesty is not unaware that a
| measure eXtorted from him by the in
justice OF the enemy, must inevitably
produce Inconvenience to the neutral
parties who are affected by desperation.
The right Of his majesty to resort to
retaliation cannot be questioned. The
suffering occasioned TO neutral parties is
incidental, and not Of his majesty's seek
ing.
In the exercise of this urdonbtcd
