it could be fecn whether the no.i intercourfe law would or would not h ive been continued ?cr.iin(t France. Such a lufpenlion could not have given in any point of view more advantage to the U. States than was given to Great Britain by the repeal, which had taken place on their part. If this reafonablc courfe coald not have been fubllitut ed for the difivowal, why was not a final disavowal fufpend ed with a proportion that the arr increment would be exe cuted by Great Britain, in the event ot a compliance on the part of the U. States, with the conditions required as to France. I am not unaware, you may be told, that the non intercourfe law of the U. States did not extend to Holland, thoV fo intimately connected with France, and fo fubfervi ent to her decrees againll neutral commerce. It would not be improper on this occalion to oblerve, that this objection can be the lefs iirged by Great Britain, as (he has herfelf never in her aileg ed retaliations adhered to the

principle on which they were founded. Thus (lie has, from the date of them, until very lately, directed them againtt the American trade to Ruflia, altho' Kullia had never adopted the Fieucb decrees nor other wife violated our neutral trade with Great Biitain. So, in her order of davW lafl, (lie has difcriminatetl, not onl between tho countries devot ed to France by the ties ot blood, Sc other powers; but between Holland, Wellphalia and Naples, in enforcing her prohibitory order againit the firfi and not againll t lie two lall. W hi I ft, therefore,, (he finds it expedient to make thefe dirtindlions, (he ought to prefumerhat we too may perceive equal propriety in the diilinftions we have madeBut it may be of more importance here to compare he lh hilh order in council oi A -p il lafl, with the arrange raent of April, made by mr. Jrfl;ine. In will thence be leen how little is the teal dit feicnce and how trivial ir is .hen compared to the exten five and feriou coniequences ot the cliiavowal. V ndcr the order in council 4 pni, all the ports fit-Ku. rope, i-xcf-Dt rrance, iucludini the Sxinjrrom t)f Italv and Holland, with their depend

encies, arc opened to our

commerceUnder the arrangement of April, combined with our act of non intercourfe, all the ports of Europe, except F. and her dependencies, including the kingdom of Italy, would have been opened to

our commerce 1 The difference then is redo - I ced merely to Holland, and that again is reduced to the litference between a direct

trade to the ports of Holland, and an indirect trade to Hoi

land, thro' the neiahborinr j

ports of Tonningen, Hamburg, Bremen and Emden. Now, as the injuring of the enemies' ot Great Britain is die only avowed object: of her interdictiuo; order againfi our trade, let a computation be made of the effect: which this difference between the order in council & the arrangement could poffibly have in produ dug fuch an injury- And then let the quenion be candidly anfwered, laying afidc all coufiderations of right and juftice, fufRcient inducements could have been found in that refult for rejecting the arrangement, and for producing the confequent embarrafl'ments as well to G. Britain as co the U. States. Hit be neceflary, a$ mr. Jackfon has dated, to fet bounds to a fpiric of encroach ment and univerfal dominion, which would bend all thino-s co its own ftandard, and to falfity by honorable & manlv refinance, an annunciation, that all Europe is fubmitting by degrees, the elfort mufl be feeble indeed, which is to be found, in the inconvenience accruing to the formidable foe from the operation of this order in council, and cfpecially when we combine with it the Itrange phenomenon of lub (lituting for the lawful trade of the 0 States, a trade of liritilh fubjedts, contrary to the laws of the adverfe party, and amounting, without a (pecial licenfe, in the eye of Britifh law, to high treafon Thus much for the orders in council. What has taken place with refpect to the cafe of the Chefapeake, will equal ly engage your attention. i ou will perceive t Ii a t throughout the early flages of the correfpondence this cafe was, in fnme refpeob, impro oeily confounded with, in o theis, improperly feparated from that of the orders in council ; and particularly t hat pains had been taken by mr. lackfon tofubUitute verbal H

vague obfervntions on thr difavowal of this part of tin arrangement, for an explicit and formal explanation, fuch as was obvioudy due. It vil! be leen alio, that when finally brot to the point he referred for a judication of the -difavowal to the departure of mi . Erfkine from his inftructions, without (hewing what thole inflruftions were, and to allufions of an exprellion in the arrangement without giving to his meaning the dilhnrt nt-fs pre requifitc to a jufl re ply. It appears, however, that lie lays great (trefs on the propofal inclofed in his letter of the 27th of October, as at once indicating the departure of mr. Erfkine (Votn hiK in Urudtions, and as containing the conditions on .the bafis of which he was ready to enter on an adjuflmcnt. And from a note from the iecretary ot the Britiih legation, it appears that he has complained of hot having received an anfwer to this propofal, as he had before complained that no anfwer had been given to his verbal difclofures on this head in his interviews with me.
