only have arisen from promise Of
Lord Wellesley that Jackson should
be immediately recalled, because with
any other course MIR Pinkney knew
his government would have cause to be
dissatisfied.
This authentic information, was
corrobprated by the intellig -nce from
England at that period, thro' the pa
pers, by letters, verbal communication,
&c. Some Of which went SO far as to
point ous the parsonage, tLord Au k.
land) who was e supercede Mr. Jack
son here; and the whole leaving no
doubtihat the British Ministry, either
iroQ motives of fear or interest, were
at the moment disposed to pursue a
couciliasory course towards this coun-
try.
Meantime, however, that Ministry
received the information that the whole
federal party in this country upheld
the conduct OF Jackson, and cast all
the blame of the rupture on their own
Government. This fact, SO disgrace
full to tina. party, and so detrimental to
this country, was manifested by thsir
speeches in Congress, by, their Reso-
buttons in Legislatures where they had
the ascendancy, by their newspaper
essays, their orations, addresses, &c,
all tending to establish the falsshood
that Mr. Jackson was in the right and
our Government in the wrong. This
emboldencd the British Government
to tamper little longer with our patti.
ence, and encouraged them to take a
"a different course from that which they
had promised, and many among us
had expected. Lord Weliesley's tone
is completely changed; and instead of
our haying no cause to be dissatisfied
with Che conduct of his government,
there IS nothing said or done to give
us the least satisfaction.
But the federal printers rather than
the character of tho British Govern
ment should suffer, would sacrifice The
reputation of our own Government.
They deny that Lord Wellesley pro-
missed to recall Jackson, and 10 send
another Minister in his place-and
charge our Govern uent with having
fabricated the account of these pro.
mises to impose upon public crednlity
and influence pending elections. they
cannot believe that foreign Govern.
ment, notorious thro' the world for its
Contempt of its engag men,s and vio-
lations of gcol faith, would be guilty
of the inconsistency and inhdelIrt,
with which 1t stands charged on un-
