The Rhode-Island Republican. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1809-1841, 1809-08-02

OF lis appearance. II must have been writieu
for the purpose of furthering the interest of
the british ministry in this country, and SO
ashamed was Mr.. Canning Of il, that i, was
lot TO be found among the documents fur
nished to the parliament OF G. Britain. LORD
Grenvillc in commenting upon this letter,
was asked, from the ministerial side, /" what
page in the printed papers - and lie thus
answered !" No page, my Lords it is not
from, the printed papers produce this letter,
but from an .dmeriean nesDstaher. The noble
Lords o,ttosite cfer every con,mnnicafien
moved for, after many declarations Of their
readiness 10 grcnf the fullest Information,
HAVE NOT THOUGHT pRoPER TO PRODUCE
THIS LETTER /; schy they omitted so deing re-
mains a MYSTERY, a'id requires er7tianation.''
The appearance OF this letter thus, drew from
the President the answer of Mr.. Pinkney,
which had been then received, but not com-
municated to Congress with Mr. Canning's,
because, having reference to rrere converse
tons, which had been superseded by a for
NAL official note, they we're thought of nor
sufficient importance to be made the subject
OF stteciaE message. The answer of Mr.
PinSncy happily destroyed all the bad conse-
qucnccs which might have been produced by
Mr. Cannins's letter, and this lcgcrdemain
of the British faction recoicd, with much cf-
feet, upon-its authors.
cannot close this imperfect RETROSPECT,
better than with an extract from the message
OF President madison to Congress, at che
opening of the last session in which he bears
testimony to the uprightness of Mr. Jefferson,
and shields him from those calhmnies, which
swerc aimed at him, at the same time that
praises were lavished upon himself
I" Whilst take pleasure in doing Justice
to the counscls Of his Britannica majesty,
which no longer adher1ng to the policy which
made an abandonment by France Of her de-
crecs, fre-requisite to a revocation Of the
British orders, have substituted the amieablc
course which has issued thus afnicabIy I
cannot do less than refer to the fsrotosai here
totore raade on the part of the United States,
embracing like restoration ef.the susnended
commerce, as a froof ftAe Shirt Of aceomda-
tion, Sohich has at no nre been fntermitted,
and to the result which now calls for our con-
gratulations, as corrobcrating the hrincitiee
by zuhich the fu6ick councils haze been guided
during q teriod Of the mOst trying e7n6arrass-
n1cnts."
NOTE.
The above was written before the late news from
England arrived. 1t is sent TO be published be-
cause it completes the retrospect, and may be Of
some consequence TO those, who wish for correct i
formation, and who require to have their memories
refreshed One of the objects of the writer, which
was to prove the heretofore nsncerety and hostile
disposition Of Greatritan towards us the late news
must confirm, and, unhappily, demonstrate that this
disposition and nsincerity has met with no change
for the better. ~
1t is fortunate, however, that the Devil has so
plainly shown his eloren foot, those who not de-
termined to him, now rcnopnced MIN, and
all his zsorks Let us be united, and we have nothing
to fear, and every thing to hope.
