tomary papers, and to the publication
OF Mr Canuing's letter addressed to
Mr. Pinkney on the 25d of September
last, in one of the newspapers printed
in Boston.
Iconsider both these acts as highly
insulting to the American people and
government; and they ought to have
been rep:lled with indignation, and
would have justified hostility ITSELF
lSir, in issuing this order the British
ministry appears to me to have set a
dsngerou: exainple to other nations,
lparticulsrly to the United States, be-
cause the United States might rotor!
her favorise resa.,atc.y system upon
herself. Suppose, sir, immediately
upon the receipt of thlt order in the
country, the United States had rotor
ted by passing law holding OFT in
ducemcnts to British seamen to desert
from their ships, and to afford them
protection, and even to promise them
lprotection and rewards upon bringing
IN the ships themselves do you think,
sir, that Great Britain world have been
altogether free from approximations, as
to the effects ofsuch retaliatory mea-
sure? The British fleet, sir, is ex-
tremelv formidable 10 the Govern.
ment, the floating dungeons and Sc
were discipline not always palatable to
the seamen. They have several times
been very much out of humour, and
tits impossible to foresee the conse-
iquencss OF the inducements the Uni
ted States have IN their power TO offer
1.-The disaifected. But, sir, this subject
presents another consideration to NV
mind. In the year 1898, Great Bri-
tain entered into the war against
france sole ~ upon the ground ofresis
ting the spirit REORGANIZATION, which
litwas alledged France was introducing
INTO all nations. 1t was for the aIledg-
|ed act of separating the people from
their Sovernment. Now, sir, now is
tfreat britain likely TO wind up the
war? WHY, sir, she seems now to
have become the champion of the very
system, against which she originally
entered into the war. She now seems
70 have become the com non disturber
lot the peace of all nations. Surely,
SIR, the British nation never can, upon
cool reflection, approve of this profit
gate act OF its ministry.
Let me now, sir, impl,-e your most
serious attention to the Publication of
Mr.. Canning's letter in the Boston
newspaper. Fhe time and circum.
stances attending its publication ag.
gravate the act. 1t was an unpardon
able insult, and ought to be repealed
with indignation; particularly insult
ing was 1t TO those for whose use il
was more immediately intended. I,
1T possible that the British parliament
or nation can justify this act of aban-
doned prchigacy? In the cases of
Genet, Yrujo, &c their ministerial
functions were suspended. Their re-
cal was Immediately requested and
complied WITH In those cases the au.
thors were owned; in this he is con.
