The American government seem to have
thought they had played most dextrcus dipio-

arrangement so contrary to bis instr,lctions-

the advantage it afforded them and then finding
the trick of no avail, they cry out against us be

cit isnot possible, we think, that Ministers
can consider MIR. Jackson's conduct as bIamabIe

1t is useless to cite any corresponding pas
sages from their brother prints in this

they have maintained. These are the very
