The Rhode-Island Republican. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1809-1841, 1810-10-03
FROM THE NEWARK cENTINEL.

When Erskines arrangement of April 1909,
was adopted by the American government.
the feceral prints applauded Mr.. Madison,
and readily acquitted rim OF all French bias
or innuance bu, at the same time severely
reprooated his predecessor for not making
the same arrangement with MIR. Rose, VINO,
it was .lledged, was fully empowered OH that
subject. The New-York Evening Post took
the lead on that occasion and with reference
to the terms of the agreeme mt TINS spoke -
The same terms Mr. Rose was instruc-
ted to offer on the same condition"
Precisely wha, she offered more than
year ago by Mr. Rose"
s Again" Mr.. Smith finishes by declaring
that the President will accept the reparation
offered as full satisfaction. The only ques-
tion stop to ask, is, why he did not accept
this when il was offered, fourteen months ago,
and thus save Us from the distress and ruin
experienced, and the millions lost during the
long night of embargo"
Once more--" Great Britain offers to
withdraw her Orders, if we will renew an
uaobstructed intercourse Just precisely what
l have said AN hundred times over in this pa
per she would very gladly do. G. Britain
sent an envoy extraordinary to offer us the
very terms which we have now accepted"
Thus spoke the Post We all know the
event Of that memorable arrangement it
was disavowed by Britain for embracing
terms which her Minister was never empow-
cred to offer. See then the ridiculous pos
ture in which the Post stands He says, the
same terms were offered by Mr.. Rose, but
rejected by the American Executive He re-
proaches our government for not accepting
terms which Britain denies having ever Of
iered he said an hundred times over that
England would gladly come to that agreement
and yet he audaciously justi6es her when she
papaby refuses to accede to It His charge,
" the long night of Embargo" to our refusal
OF terms" which were never proposed -
Nay more, he has abused the American
cabinet for over-reaching Erskine and cheet-
ing him into compromise, which it was
known to them would not be sanctioned by
Britain Here then we have precious sps-
cimen OF federal candour and consistency.
But saya the Post +" Britain sent an Envoy
Extraordinary, to offer us the same terms
which we have now accepted" Grant i.
and what does it prove The absence Of all
sincerity in the English government. 1t
completely proves what the Republicans
HasC Salu du uuUuIcO tiiHcS over, tnat TIE
mission of Rose was solemn farse, mere
mockery. If our government he'd accepted
the same terms" then the same result
would nave followed the arrangement would
have been dsowned by Britain, and the A.
mcrican cabinet abused by federal prints, If
the same terms were offered by Rose, it con.
clusively follows that Rose was sent with no
sigcere design to consulate but rather to
widen the breach.
If the Post had one spark of independence
and consistency, be would, after utteriag
the language above quoted, reprobate the
British government for that want Of sincerity,
which for years and ages has characterized
her negotiations with foreign nations.
