Madison, then Secretary of State, and, speak
ing of the preceding note, they say
The time at which this note was presented
to us, and the circumstances under which it
was presented, being when the negotiation was
absolutely at stand on this very question, aud
we had informed the British commissioners
that we could do nothing If it was not provided
TOR, give the act a peculiar degree of soIemniiy
and obligation. 1t was sent to us as a public
paper, and intended that we should SO consider
it, and with the knowledge and appreciation of
the cabinet. 1t ought, therefore, 10 be held as
obligatory on the government, inhs just import,
as II the Substance lad been stimulated IN freq
~ It's just also togive it liberal construc
ton in favor OF the United States in consderaa
ton that it is the act of the British government.
In that view it merits attention that every thing
is expressed in it that could be defined, except
the REIMBURSEMENT Of the principle; that, in
speaking of impressments, the exercise of that
act on the high seas is not mentioned, an omis.
sion which we know to have been intentional.
From afuli view Of all these circumstances, we
think ii fair to infer that this government in
tends to conform its conduct in future to the
just claimsoi the United States On this great
interest, while by particular motives Of policy
1T deems it improper TO Telinquish a claim, es-
peciaiy ut this time, which has been iong sus
tanned and acted on by it, and which has been
heretofore strongly supported by the national
feeling, or, more properly speaking, prejudice

nation is in favor oft, more especially il the
project which we proposed should be adopted,
or correspondents regulations entered into to
produce the same effect by friendly cooperate
on between the two governments
Previously to the pod Of April, 1907, and
whdst our negotiations were pending, AN entire
change took place in the British ministry. At
That date. Messrs Monroe aud Pinkncy wrote
likewise, from London TO the Secretary Of Stale,
saying

an arrangement on that subject, has been laid
