your party to be their enemies, and
the friends % the French, and they
won't give way an inch TO you-bpt
they would give way an inch or a
foot TO thoie they thought friendly

Fedcralifts friendly to them there can
be no doubt, for there is not DEM

Mr.. Madison, in his letter Of instrue-

March last, gives this direction
1" Il Is to be understood, that whilst
" the insult offered in the attack on the
" American frigate remains unexpia-
"ted, you are not to pledge or commit
"your government to consider recall
" of the orders as ground on which
" the removal of the existing restric-
" ibns on the commerce Of the United
/" States with Great Britain, may be
"justly expected"
Mr.. Canning, in his note 10 Mr..
Pinckney, intimates, that, while ever
the American proclamation which was
founded on the attack upon the frigate
Chesapeake continues in force, that a
system OF mutual Cancellation can new
er be agreed on.
The undersigned is commanded,
4 IN conclusion, TO observe, that nothing
is said in Mr.. Pinckney's letter, ofs-
ny intention torepeal the proclama-
ton by which the ships Of war Of G.
Britain are intefdictvd from all those
rights of hospitality in the ports or
the United States, which are freely
allowed to the ships Of his majesty's
enemies"
From the footing upon which the af-
iair Of the Chesapeake and the Presi-
dents proclamation was placed by Mr..
Madison and Mr.. Rose, We know ofno
mode in which the difference can be
adjusted. England having disavowed
the attack upon the Chesapeake, and
refusing to make repsration until the
proclamation is revoked, and our goY,
eminent positively refusing to rescind
the proclamation until atonement be
made, we know Of nothing which can
form the basis Of a compromise in the
present state ofsGairs.--Raa. Fed. Ref.
