inhabitants, and that it originated in the indilci etion of the former. No attention having been called tor, and no inquiry made, the truth of the cafe is unknown. But it was never fuppoled that mr. Jackfon himlelf, who was on board the frigate, had been perfonally intuited ; nor is it yet percei ved in what way he conliders it as having happened. It is needlels to remark that any reprefent aiion on the fubjeft would have inllantly received every proper attention. Another ground on which a protection was afked for, is the fuppofed tendency of the language of our newfpapers to excite popular violence on mr. Jackibn's perfon. Had he been longer & better acquainted with the habits and fpirit of the American people, he would probably never have entertained an apprehenfion of that fort. If he meant to animadvert on the free Ianguage of the uewfpapers, lie might jullly be reminded that our laws, as thofe of his own country let bounds to that freedom ; that the freedom oi Britifh prints, however great with refpett to public characters of the U. States, has never been a topic of complaint, and that fuppofing the latitude of the A nerican prefs to exceed that of Great Britain, the difference is infi nitely lefs in this refpedl betvverr the two, than between the Britith prefs and that of the other nations of Europe. The lecond note feems to be clfcntially intended as a jutliHcation of the conduce of mr. jacklbn, in that part ot his correlpondence which had

given umbrage. It he intended it as a conciliatory ad vance, he ought not to have preceded it by a demand tor pallports, nor by the fpirit or the manner in which that de liiand was made. He ought in tad, if fuch was his object, to have fubilituted an expla nation in the place of his reply to my premonkory letter But whether he had one or other or both thole obj'dsin Vie v, it was necellary for him to have done more than U attempted in this pjper. It u as never objected to him that he had Hated it as a fad that the three propoli ions in queMion had been lubmitted t me by mr. Kffkme, not that lie (hired it as made Known to him by the inllruc tions of mr. Canning, hat the v ru tun to or r.rfkinf cuii aimn 'hole three condi tions, wai the only one irom

which his authority was derived to conclude an arrangement on the matter to which it related. The objection was that a knowledge of this reItridtion of the authority of mr. Erfkine was imputed to this government, and the rc. petition ot the imputation, e ven after it had been peremp torily difclaimed. This was fo orofs an attack on the honor and veracity of this govern ment as to forbid all further communications from him. Care was nevertheless taken at the fame time to leave the door open for fuch as might be made through any other channel, however little the probability that any fatisfac. tory communications would be received thro any channel here. j To the other inclofures I add a printed copy of a paper purporting to be -a circular, letter from mr. jackfon to the liritifli confuls in the United States. The paper (peaks for ufelf. As its contents entirely correfpond with the paper laft referred to, as they were unnecefTary for the ollenfible objecT of the letter which was to make known mr. Jackibn's change of refidence, & as the paper was at once put into public circulation, it can only be regarded as a virtual addreis to the American people of a reprefentation previoully addrefled to their government; a procedure which cannot fall to be feen in its true light by his fovereign. The obfervation to which fo much extenci has been given in this letter, with thofe contained in the correfpondence with mr. Jackfon, will

make you fully acquainted with the conduct & the char after he bas developed, with

the necelfity of the ftep taken

in refufing further communications from him, and with the grounds on which the prefident lnllrufts you to requell that he may be immediately recalled. You are particularly inilrufted at the tame time, in making thole communications, to do it in a manner that will leave no doubt of the undiminifhed delire of the United States to unite in all the means the bell calculated to ell ibliih the re lations of the two countries on the folid foundation ot jullice, ot friendlhip, and ot murual intertit i have the honor to be, w ith great rei peft and conlideration, lir, your mod obedient lervaln, (Sr,rJ R.
