HOUSE OF COMMONS.
MR.. ERSKINE.

u
MR.. ERSKINE.
Mr.. NORRIS, before the house entered upon
the report, wished to offer few observations
to their notice, during late debate, affecting a
near relation of his His reason for not doing so
at the time, was, the latencss of the hour at
which the remark he alluded to was made 1.
correctly stated by the Honorable Gentle
man that occasion that the dispatch of the 23d.
January alone, contained the instructions to Mr.
Erskine, for his conductin whatever related to
our Order in Council, the French DEGREES, and
the American Noa Intercourse and Embargo
Acts. But he could go on further with the
statement Of that Honorable Gentlemen MIR.
Erskn,c's view of the subject was, that when
the conditions there prescribed could not be lit
orally obtained, he was to refer to his other let.
tiers and Instructions, and endsavor to obtain,
stubstantIaliy, what was in the view of bis Co
vernmeDt He had substantially obeyed his in.
structions, and il all the letters were produced,
they would bear him out in this assertion. Ha
had no reason to suppose, that there would be
any improperly in the production of these
papers IT, however, they were not produced
they would at least have this weight with gentle
men Judging of Mr.. ErslSines conduct. that they
were not in possession of the whole grounds on
which lac rested his justification. For this he al
the authority OF Mr.. Erskne's letter to Mr.. Smith
in which he referred to these letters, as autho-
rising him to enter into the provisional engage.
made to the production of another important do
cument for his friends exculpation from the sus-
picion of havinis sacrificed his public duty to his
private feelings his answer to the dispatch
from His Majesty's Ministers. If this were not
granted, his friend would be left on bare grounds
indeed for his defence, as he had communicated,
ver6afinl ct se,iaiinp, to the American Minister.
lie wished it TO be known, that Mr.. Erskinc had
not acted on his own principles, but on those Of
his employers. From the form and constitution
Of the American Government, it was impossible
for him to act literally these instructions, hut
he had referred to them altogether, and erdea
vorsd 10 obey tbeta substantially. He begged
pardon Of the House for encroaching on iheir
time at present, in putting them in possession Of
the grounds Of his relations defence, which
would be more amply given at further period /;
but it was his earnest wish to rebut, in hDlise
any insinustion, that oae, in whom ~ must feel
so much interest, had acted, not from a sense
Of public duty, but feeling towards the Presi.
