and correft view of the fnhjedl, & the fanguinc temper which he difeovcred throughout the whole tranfacliuii, I feel no difpofition to cavil at the general coloring of the language afciibcd either to other members of the adminiilration or to my ft If. Hut there is a pm of the difp itch in which I cannot for a moment nrtpiirfce. From cafual crprcflions irr.perfecUy underflood, and incorrectly ftated, k from wliat he calls " my manner," Sc llight infinuation mr. Erikine infers that I thought that the prefident (mr. J ffci fun) hud adled witb partiality towards France and that I hnil at tenpted to cnntrafl mr. Madifon's fnti. ments in that refpeel with thofe of the prefident.

j Thstmr. F.i Heine's obj -ft was to ufe thj change of prefidrnty r.s n arpnment to in

duce the Hfit'o'h mintOry to alter their turi fores towards America ; and that the fpi nions thus aft ribrd to me wete lis own. is lufTiciently obvious from the wlude tencr of his defpntrh. But the iufrrrence as it relates to mr totally erronious ; :rd mr. F.rfiir.e mult h.ive miilaken my a (Tent to the fxidrrce of furmifes of partiality in mr. Jetferfon tnwaids France for an &couirfcence in the truth of them. I might with truth lnve fpoken of mr. Madifun, not as frrlirg at-y particular ad miration for the Britilh ctmniruticn and

But I nrer could or did contrnfl hi fentimer.ts in that refpeft, or afcribe to him rpinions on the fuSjeft of our foreign reLtious at variance with thofe of mr. Jetjrifon. I knew thofe furmifes refpefting mr.

Fight rears of the m; d intimate intercourfe, during which not an aft, nor hardly a ;hot if fprdting the foreign relations of America was concealed, enable me cunfiurntly to f:.y, tliat mr. Jeftt rfon never flad in that reipeft any other bjrftinvitw hut thr proteftion of the rights of the U. States againfl every ioreijTti girrelfson or injury from whatever n tion, it proceeded and has, inevery inlVnce, cbferved towards all the b-lligeients the moft Uritt juliice, atid tke mod Lrupuhms impartiality. His character Hands not in need of this declaration ; it is due to my ft If. The groundlefs accuf-ition of foreign h:s and influence, h.ivr generated folcly by ths virulence of paity fpirit ; and they woe dopted abroad as an apology or pretence for unprovoked tggrtfllons. A jnft f-nfe of the injuries received, and the mofl tenipe. rate efforts to obtain redrefs rouflitute w I at has been called partiality. And it ft ems to l.ave been forgotten that from the timo when mr Jefirrfon became prefident, till the month of Augufl, 1807, no adWal aggrefiiot.s on the neutral r'ghts of Amciica had been committed by Fiance ; wlull curing the famr period, t!ie nominal blockades of tnemles ports by Ei:g!ard, and the annual adiual blockades, as tliey may be called, of our own; the lenewal, contrary to exprrfV and mutual exphuations of the depredations on the indiredt Colonial trade, the continued imprr (Intents of cur feamen, ana the attack on the Chefeprak had actually taken place.
