/ under the change Of circumstances, j.

| Who made the war.
Ifit be asked Why some regular friea'
.ures have ret been already taken &
restore peace, or Why they should NO
| now be taken, it is difficult to give ar
answer which would satisfy the just, the
humane and the good.
Perhaps it may be said that, the las,
conversation between Mr.. Russell and
the British secretary Of state, as narrated
by the former, exhibits the sentiments
of the LATER so opposed to an am;cab'e
adjustment of the point Of impressment
in any form whatever, that it would be
vain and idle to offer any project for his
consideration.
If this be the excuse, it is insufficient
LIST. 1t may well be doubted whether
Mr.. Russell, who put into writing the
supposed conversation, has been accu.
rate in his understanding, or in his me.
mory-words spoken are often misun.
derstood, and more easily forgotten, as
we'll as the substance of them. Mr..
Russell had arrived in Washington City,
where he undertook 10 write the sub.
stance Of the conversation in its details.
nearly three months after it took place.
Such communication is entitled to no
consideration upon the momentous CUES.
ton, whether a negotiation for peace
ought to be opened.
2. Admitting such conversation in
substance to have passed, it only ex.
plains the ministers opinions ofthe great
difficulties which will be encountered
whenever a substitute for the impress.
meat of British subjects in American
ships shall be attempted to be invented,
contrired, arranged and finished.
That it is difficult and delicate in the
highest degree, in consequence Of the
naturalization laws Of both countries, is
admitted by many and believed BY all
Acts Of parliament and acts Of congress
will be found necessary.
When Lord Csstiereagh 50 truly spoke
of the difficulty of any arrangement, and
SO fully explained the past attempts of
the other ministers, it,sbews that the
subject had been often rcyolvcd in his
mind and is an evidence under all dis.
engagements that he was. preparing TO.
discuss and to- decide whenever any plan
should be offered. ~
When he afGrms that no British mi
mister had ever relinquished the princi-
pie of impressment, as was supposed by
some in America, he vas exposing the
error of such an opinion, and this part of
the conversation does not express de-
termination TO reject every substitute as
inadmissible. Above alb it is to be OBJ
served that he has not in this conyersa-
zion, restrained, modified or impaired
his declaration as expressed in his let
ter Of the 29th August, that the British
government would receive, discuss and
negotiate, upon any plan Of a substitute
which the American government should
offer.
These observations clearly demon
strate that it has been a mistaken notion
of this conversation to suppose that ii
contains sentiments opposed to negoci,
alton. e.
