You will perceive that throughout the

We have nav finished this par. Of our

the pledge We had given 70 the public. 1t is
obvious from what has been said, tina, Crest
Britain.adhcred 10 no of nsive propositions

those orders rest, as they always have done,
on ground which our own government have
admitted to be correct in principle; that OF
retaliation on her enemy That G. Britain
was willing to repeal them on the terms
which her minister assured her were pro-
posed by US: That finding we would NOV adj
nit than, she will not renew or insist upon
them--that NJ. Jackson's reasoning uIou
them in his letters is sian,v 10 conviace us
that they arc not na1v nMbor'rrt ~ either

when We propose any terms short Of them,

been MADE, and never zViN be; and the dis
covery that Mr.. Jackson will agree to 81. 4

gociation is now brok n OF.
II then, as it appears, Crest Britain docs
not insist upon any professions as cordi-

Let US here premise. that in national con-
