consider the proposition which had been referred
TO Ibis government From which declaration.
Mr.. Adams thought The British government ought
TO have know n, that it, proposition was not &C
cep,ed. Because, as the King of England, in adj
dressing his subjects, signifies his rejection OF
;heir propositions, by these words, therefore the
British Minister ought to have inferred similar
fate to the proposition of his government to this,
from similar words supposed to be used by the Pre-
sident OF the u. S. to Great Britain
will not presume to question either the bill
lancy of the w.t. the keenness of the IRONY, or the
sharpness OF the sarcasm, contained In this letter;
but mus, take the liberty TO doubt the discre-
ton of premulgating il 10 the world. The British
Minister would scarcely think this tgura,ive iden-
LITIGATION of the President OF the u >. with his
sovereign and licge lord, either compliment 10
himself or his master; and the people oil the u
S. cannot approve that offensive vanity, when
would transform them elected chief magistrate In
TO tie sovereign of the sovereign OF any nation,
it'll whom they are endeavoring to negotiate
uea;y. These are little things, II is true, but
nhen we shall come by and by TO combine and
sum them all up, fear w shall End in the aggre-
gaze, some seI-of TO the rough repulse our over
lures have lately met; ard OF which we now com
plain. Every loyal American VIII OF course take
sides with his own government, IN any controveT-
at what we may regard the misconduct OF Others,
ought not TO blind us TO the adisrreions OF our
own agents; and il is due to truth that these
should be represented, in order that we may form
proper estimate of their probable effects upon
the arrangement of matter, the intrinsic difficulty
of which presents sufficient Number o. obstacles,
not easy to be surmoun;eG.
