MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT,CONCLUED.

Mr. Smith to Mr. Pinkney.Department of State, Nov. 23, 1809.

Sin,My letters, in the correspondence

with Mr. Jackson, already transmittedto you, sufficiently evince the disap-pointment that was felt, on finding thathe had not been charged to make tothis government either the frank ex-

planations or the liberal propositions,which the occasion manifestly required.Instead of this obvious course of pro-

ceeding, it was in the outset perceiv-ed that his object was to bring 113 to resume the subjects of the arrangementot April, in a way that would implythat we were aware that the arrange-ment was not binding on his govern-ment, because made with the knowledgeon our part that Mr. Erskinc had noauthority to make it, and thus to con-

vert the responsibility of his govern-ment for the disavowal injo a reproachon this for its conduct in the transactiondisavowed.

In the first instance it was deemedbest rather to repel his observations

than to meet them asan offensive insinuation." 'This forbear-ance had not the expected effect of re-

straining him from a repetition of theoffence. And even on his further in-

sinuations nothing more was done thantopremonish him of the inadrhissibiltyof s'o indecorous a course of proceed-ing. This also being without effect,nothing remained but the step finallytaken. And there was the less hesi-tation in shutting the door to furtheropportunities for insulting insinuations,as the disclosures he had made and thespirit of his discussions had So entirelyshut it to the hope of any favorable re-

sult from his mission.I will not dwell on his reluctance to

give up the uncertainties of verbal, forthe precision of written discussion, rot-o-

the manner or the time of hjs denialthat he had given any 100m at all for aStatement, which, in order to guard

the misconceptions incident tiverbal conferences, had placed beforthim in writing, with a request that hewould point out any inaccuracies, andto which he did not then object other-wise than by intimating, that he couldnot ha e the statement with the particu-lar view nbfeb seemed to be suppostdin or win 1 cnvcii on the various instances in which partial or inconsistentviews of the subject have taken placeof its real merits. But it may libt beamiss to make some observations onthe correspondence, as it relates to thejustification of bis government in havingaisavoweu tne act ot ins predecessor.

With respect to the orders in coun-cil, the ground of the disavowal ib thedifference between the arrangement andthe piinted despatch of Mr. Canningto Mr. Erskineof the 23d of January.According to this despatch, then, thearrangement sailed in three points :

I. In not relinquishing the trade ofthe United States with enemies' colo-nies.

With respect to this point it is neces-sary at this time to discuss the right tothat trade. It is sufficient to remark,1st. That as the trade is admitted tohave become in the yiew of Gieat Brit-ain of little practical importance, whyhas it been made a ground of the disa-vowal, and, especially, as importantconsiderations only could, upon princi-pie- s

ofpublic law, have justified a mea-sure of so serious a character I 2d.That as the colonial trade is a subjectnowise connected either with the or-

ders in council or with the affair of theChesapeake, why has it been permittedto frustrate an arrangement relating tothose subjects, Sc t6 those only ? 3d. Thatas this condition is alledged to have ori-ginated in a supposition that it wouldbe agreeable to the American govern-ment, why has it been persisted in as-

ter the error was made known by therepresentation of Mr. Erskine to hisgovernment, that neither this nor theother conditions of the despatch of the2 ?d of January, were attainable heiq?

2. Another point in the despatch andnot in the arrangement is, that the Brit-ish navy might capture our trade toports prohibited by the. United States.

This condi'tion too, appears to havehad its origin in a mistake of ypurmeaning in a conversation with Mr.Canning, as noted by yourself, and inan inference thence deduced as to thedisposition of this government. Butthis double mistake milst have beanbrought to light in time to have beencorrected in the new mission. Inurging it, Mr. Canning has "taken aground forbidden by those principlesof decorum which regulate and markthe proceedings of governments to-

wards ench othc. In his despatch the

cadition iS suted to be for the pur-pose of securing the bona side mte.ntr.itofLvmeiica to prevent her citizensfrmn tiading with France and certainotlret pou crs ; in other words, to se-cure. pledge to that effect against themalmie intention of the United Sute.Andftrib despatch too, was anthoiizedto beommunicated in cxtensto, to thegovernment of which (.such languagewas usid. M ight it no't have been

that such a conditionand such o6servations would ..t least,on suchn occasion, have been Rivenup by a gjvernment willing to smooththe way an amicable settlement ofexisting diYcrences ?

In his ztal to vindicate his govern-ment, Mr.sSickson too has attempteda gloss on thii most extraordinary ideaof calling oiifefoi-tig- soveieignty, notinueeci to mat- - jaws tor us, but whatis equivalent! principle, to supply aMjjjjiuseu iii.;uiiryHe calls suchhis government

between nitions touching attri-butes of soveieignty, tte is always asmuch of the sovereignty gained as isparted with, sq tint there be no loss orindignity on eitheride.

3. The remaininVpoint in the des-patch not secuicd by! the arrangement,is that which requiie that whilst ourprohibotory laws shouM be repealed asto Great Britain, they slouid be lest inforce as to 1 ranee aid the powersadopting or acting iindeKher decrees.

This is the conditionWliich aloneproperly belongs to the sulject, and itis to be remarked, in the'first place,that the British project, of vtfiich thiscondition makes a part, contemplatedtwo things in their nature incompati-ble ; one a repeal of the prohibitoryacts as to Great Biitam without waitingfor the conclusion of a regular treaty ;the other a pledge or engagement fortheir continuance as to the other

Now, from the nature of our con-stitution, which, in this particular,ought to have been attended to by theBritish government, it is manifest, thatthe executive could have given no sdehsledge, that the continuance of the

being a subject of legis-lative consideration, could not havebeen provided for until the meeting ofthe legislature, and tht the conditioncould not therefore but have sailed, ei-ther jin the immediate renewal of com-merce with Great Britain, or in theim-medik- e

engagement that it should notbe lehewed with France.

ThJ: British government ought tohave atquiesced in, and indeed oughtto hav been satisfied with, the attain-ment ohhe important object of an im-mediate repeal of our prohibitory laws,and with the consideration that the oth-er objcc, not immediately attainable,was unnecessary at the time, becausethe prohibition as to France was thenin force, and because there was everyreason to, infer, not only from thufact,but from the spirit of the communica-tions made from time to time, and fromthe ovrrturcs before submitted to theBritish government, that, without arepeal of the French decrees, our pro-hibotory laws would be continued inforce against Fiance, and especially inthe case of a repeal of the Britih orders,would necessarily render a continuanceof the French decrees doubly obnoxi-ous.

But is on this head doubts could havebeen entertained, instead of 1 ejectingthe arrangement, ought not the repeal-ing act on our part to have been metwith a suspension at least of the ordersin council until it could have been seenwhether the law wouldor would not have been continued

France. Such a suspensioncould not haiys given in any point ofview more advantage to the UnitedStates than was given to Great Britainby the repeal, which

men part.Is this reasonable course could rjot

have been substituted for the disavowal,why was not a final disavowal suspend-ed with a proposition that the arrange,menr. would be executed by Great Brit,ain, in the event of a compliance on thepart of the United States with the con-dition required as to France.

I am not unaware, you may be told,that the law of the U.States did not extend to Holland,though so intimately connected withFrance, and so subservient to her decrees against neutral commerce.

It would not be improper on this oc-casion to observe, that this obj etion.. in be the less urged by Great B-l- f J(n,
