Tnclosidm Mr. Jackson's letter of theof Uctober 1809.

The prelident's proclamation of July1807, prohibiting to Br;tifh ships of warthe entrance into the harbours ot the Uni-ted States, having been annulled, his majesty is willing- to reltore the ieamen takenout ot the Chelapeake. on relerving tolumielt a right to claim in a tegular way,by application to the American government, the dilcharge or luch ot them iany) as fliall be proved to be either natu-ral born fubjefts of his majesty, or rs

fiom his majefly's service.His majelVy is willing to make a provifi-o- n

foi the families of such men as were(lain on board the Chesapeake, in confe-quenc- e

ot the unauthorized autack uponthat frigate, provided that such bountyfliall not be extended to the family of anyman who fliall have been either a naturalborn fubjed ol his majefly, or a deserterfrom his majefly's service.

Mr. Smitb to Mr,. Jackson.Department of State, November 1,1809.sir,

Your letter of the 23d ult. which wasduly received, would have been fooneracknoivledged, had I not by sickness been

rendered for several days utterly unfit forbusiness.

Althoueh'the delay and the apparentreluctance in lpecifying the grounds ofthe disavowal of the arrangement withrespect to the orders in council, do notcorefpond with the course of proceedingdeemed mofl becoming the occasion ; "yetas the explanation has at length beenthus made, it only' remains, as to that pareof the disavowed arrangement, to regretthat such considerations should have beenallowed to ouglitwtigh the solid objecti-ons to the disavowal i.it being underfloodat the same time that his Britannic majefly peifeveres in requiring as indifpen- -

lable conditions on the part ot the UnitedStates, an entire relinquishment of theright to trade with enemies' colonies, andalio permiflion to the British navy toaid in executing a law of Congress ; pre-tentions, which cannot but render abor-

tive all nronofals whatever upon this sub- -

ject, whether made by the United" Statesui uy ilia jlii lidiuiiv. twojt xl .

Whilfl you have deemed it prop:r tooffer an explanation with respect to thedisavowal of one part of the arrangement,1 mull remind you that there is not to befoud 111 your letter any like specificationof the reasons for the disavowal, nor par-ticularly is it fliewn thatinftrudtions wereviolated, as to the other part, viz. the caseof the Chesapeake; the case in which inan especial manner an explanation wasrequired, and in which only you profeiTedta have authority to make to this govern-ment any overtures. "J

For the fi'Il time lit'isifnow disclosedthat the subjects, arranged with this gov-ernment by your predeceffjOr, are hrld notto be within the authority of a miniderplenipotentiary, a'n'd that, not having hada " full power diftniv-- t from that authori-ty, his tianfdctionson those subjects mightof riplnbe disavowed by his government."'I his disclosure, so contraiy to every antecedent fuppoution ana jult inference, givesa new afptct to this business. Is the authority of your piedecelfor did not em-

brace the lubjectE in qutrftion. so as tobind Ins government, it necellanly fol-

lows, that the only credentials yetby vou being the lame with those

presented by him, give you noauthontyto bind it, and that the exhibition of a' full power" for that purpose, luch as

vou doubtless aie furnished with, it be-

comes an indispensable preliminary tofulrther negotiations ; or, to speak moiellnctlv. was required in the tirlt indanceby the view of the matter now disclosedby you. iNegotiauon wnnout miis prelim-inary would not only be a departure fromthe principle of equality which is the es-

sential basis, of it, but would moreover bea disreara of the precautions and of thelelf-iefne- enjoined on the attention ofthe United States by the cirtuniflances.wjncli have hirherto taken plate.

I need scarcely add, that in he fullpower alluded to, asi prelimmaiy to ne-

gotiation, is not intended to be includedeither the whole extent or any part ofycJur inflructions tor the exercise ot it.These of course. as you htve juflly re-

marked, remainfubject to your own dis-

cretion.I abllain, sir, from makilig any partic-

ular animadveifions on several wevalentand improper dilutions in your letter, notat all comporting vith theprofefled dispo-sitio- n

t adjust in an amicable maantrthe differences unhappijy subsisting be-

tween the two countries. But it wouldbe improper to conclude the tew obfervactons to which I purposely limit myself,without adverting to your repetition of alanguage implying a knowledge on thepart ot this government that the induc-tions ot your predeceiTor did not authorise the arrangement formed hy him. As-

ter the explicit and peremptory asseveration that this government had no luchknowledge, and that with such a knowledge no such arrangement would havebeen entered into, the view, which youhave again prefentedof the subject, makesit my duty to apprize you, that such in-

sinuations are inadmissible in the inter--course of a foreign minister with a government that understands what it owes toitself.

I have the honor to be, Stc.(Signed) . R.SMITH.

The Hon. F. J. Jackson. &c. &c. ,

Mr. Jackson to Mr. Smib.Washington, 4tb Nov. 1809A

Sir,When I forwaidcd to my couit your

letter of the 19th ultimo, and the an-

swer which I returned to it, I imagined,apd I may add, I hoped, that the retio-specti-

correspondence, into whichyou thpught it necessary to enter withme had been closed. You will, nodoubt, recollect with what reluctance, Iacquiesced in your intimation on thishead ; not, as I believe has been seen,fiom any difficulty in maintaininc thejustice of the cause which is entrustedto me. but Because 1 was, and sttil amof opinion, that this sort of correspon-dence is not calculated to lemovc dif-

ferences and soothe irritations of themost unfortunate tendency. As, how-

ever, I had no choice but to renounce,for the present, the, hope of effectingthis desirable object, or to pursue it inthe manner prescribed in ) our letter ofthe 9th ult. so I am now unwilitnrlvcompelled to enter upon the considera-tion of another letter fiom you underdate of the 1st instant, which but to.)strongly confirms the opinion I beforeentertained.

Since, vif K'5 ' fen idtr' ' ex

pedient to confilie to a written form thisimportant and interesting discussion :

siijce that mode has been declared byyou to be indispensable, I will fiist ap-

peal to the written communicationswhich have passed between us ; and Ido this with the greatest satisfaction,because I consider it to be the chiefCause of the present remarkable state ofthings, that in speaking ot engagementscontracted or supposed to have beencontracted between the two couniii-js- ,

understandings or implied engagementshave been allowed to takcrpLce of v it-t-

compacts, and have been consider-ed, in some instances, as ha.ing thesame validity. It is furthermore ne-

cessary to place in the most equivocallight, a topic which I observe to be con-

stantly and prominently , restated iuyour letters, notwithstanding the

but. as it should seem, fruitles-- ,

endeavors used in prune, to clear nfiom the slightest shadow of oiisci.utv

You say " that iti Js understood th.his Btitannic majesty perscvetes in re-

quiring as indispensable conditions onthe part of the United States, an euitcrelinquishment of the right to t: adewith the enemies' colonics, and als,o apermission to the Biitish navy to a 1

in executing a law of congress."This same, statemem, is. contained in

your letter of the 9th instant, and rep-resented as the substance of what hadfallen frotii me in our previous confer-ence?,. In my answer to that letter Itook the liberty of shewing that such asupposition was erroneous, and I havelooked in viin to my letter of the 23d,to find in it t.ny suggestion of a similartenor. T'lelieve, therefore, that by reference to mv two letters you will find,that the statement now aain broughtforward is contained in neither oft! cm,that it made napart of my pic iusconversations with you, and that I havein no way given room to suppose thatI ever made any such statement t.t all.

That before the ordets in council canbe revoked, their object must be obtain-ed some other way, is unquestionablytrue; but you maybe assured, sir, thatthere isno.vfjsh whatever entert-ine- d inEnsil nd, that the British navy should becmplov ed in executing a law ot con-

gress. Is the proposal that was madeupon that subject, and made, .o younow knew, bacausc it vviu- - believed tobe acceptable here, had been adopt:d,and had become a matter of conifactbetween the two countiies. fndtl.eri bva part, no-- , ofthe law-o- f congress, but otthe public luw binding upon both

and which both would have hada common interest in seeing duly execu ed : in that case the ageliry of theBritish navy wbuld not have n.u'

aspect, vhichis now titei ped to be given to it. At present the 1

is no engagement between the tvocountries, no Jaws of congress .ik li

bear a reference to any such e;j.s,cment and consequently it Cuimo Lewished to take any share whatever iithe execution of those laws.

When I informed you that tl e agreement coiiclndcd-lmr- e in Apiil lasthad been framen in deviation from theinstfictnns given for the occasion, myexplanation was intended te t.;vplv tobbth parts of that agreement. That nothing, required by the most scrupulot 5

accuracy may be wanting, I now aud,that the deviation consisted m rotie-cordhi- g

in the official document j: nc-- 1

here, the abrogation of the president'sproclamation of tlfe 2d July. 1807, aswell as (he two reserves specific 0 in tl rpaper of memoranda inclosed in my of-

ficial letter to yiju of the 27th ultimo.I am somewhat at a loss to give acis

tinct reply to that part of your lette"which relates to Mr. Erskine'sauthoiitvto conclude with you in virtue of hisgeneral letter of crec encc, because Ido not very distinctly understand tinpendency of it. I nev.r before be.ruit doubted that a full povcr was reqin-- 'sites to enable a mini-to- r to conclude atreaty ; or that a mere general lettei ofcredence was insuihaent for that pur-pose.

Is it were otherwise, a. 'the gov tinment wore in all casts to Is bourx. Lvthe act, however im.ri,,,orized, of anaccredited minister, there wouid benesafety in the appointment oijsuth a n.vister, and ratifications worm be unless.No full power was given in the p. c sentcase, because it was not a treaty, bi.tthe materials for forming a treaty, t iutwas in contemplation.
