It is not possible, Sir, that ho should have ascaped, bad he been other wise than pure. Those, ignorant of his unrivalled knowledge of human character, his pow er of penetrating into (he designs, end de feating the purposes of his adversaries, teeing his rapid advanse to public honors, and popular confidence, impute to nrt wltal is the natural result of those simple causes. Extraordinary talent, untiring in dustry, incessant vigilunce, rite happiest icmpor which success cannot corrupt nor disappointment sour ; these site the sour ces of his unexampled success, the inn- "ic arts—thh artifices of intrigue, to which only ho has resorted in his eventful life.

I Imagine we aro not bound by tliem, com municated to us or not, but we are bound to know all thoso touching oor interests, and nnv administration is severely repie- henslblo for ignorance of them, and for failing to attend to those that bear injuri ously upon the interests of the people. The net was, however, at last known, ami when Mr. Gallatin presented himself to negotiate, whit instructions to wnvti' all claims that were formerly presented, and hud prevented nn arrangement, he was tauntingly told, you have lost your day in court—tho privilege, tkt boon, offered, bad not been secured by accepting the conditions: we have taken our course, ne gotiation is not our plnn. Well Sir, what said the edministrution, of which flu- hon orable senator; from Kentucky, formed a part. There Was mi act of Congress, re quiring, on the slottiing ol the British West India port* against ux, an interdict iry Proclamation. Smarting under this taunting refusal 'to negotiate, what was done t Tlie execution of an act of Con gress positively directing the proclama tion, was sus|iendnd by Executive authori ty fur twu months before tho meeting of Congress, and during the whole succeed ing session, to sue if Congress, who had tuien prevented during Ike preceding ses- aiou from legislating—the administration preferring din eclat ot a negotiation— could ant Icgislstn the Executive out of die difficulty into which ha had placed! the country by uegligcuco, or, if the Senator from Kentucky pleases, ignorance of .ibe act of Pailiniiient. We all know how that effort determined. The two Houses disagreed about tint mode of effecting tho purpose; both, however, willing to taka tlie privileges on tbn conditions proposed bv Great Britain. The Senate passed a bill—tlie House, under tho influence of the Senator from Massachusetts, amended it. and the question Was, whether one or the other oblique path should be trodden. The session terminated without legislative emetoienr, and then,’ and not till then, the 18311 Have those honorable gentlemen proclamation of interdiction was issued, who are now so shocked at the public de- Thu*, Sir, smarting under the tannt of' the gradation, to eager to punish the author of this national disgrace, been sleeping at their post*—no ere to cry oat, to ring the alarm at the daagvra to which the public honor waa exposed—too out tu interfere to prevent the United State* from being placed at tho foot-stool of tho Britiab throne t Quietly witnessing the consum mation of tho crime; passing an act with tho knowledge of these instructions, to secure tkt keen, which they now ate was begged in the ream of parly from the Bri- tfoh crown; wc are now electrified by bant* ol Indignation at shin first set of degradation in tho history of American Diplomacy.

I Well, air, to this degradation. It it freed in the instructions to Mr. Mr Lane ; and to make out their case, tlie liouera- bio Senators ‘from Massachusetts sod Kentucky, have given us a sketch of the history of the West India negotiation.— Both brought dowu their narratives to tho taunting reply of Mr. Canning tu Mr. Gallatin,-given during the late admiaistra- tion. From this poiiH,< both these lloo- erablo Senators found it uonveuient to ahde—as, sir, to leap over nil intervening uvrnts to the wiatiuction* to Mr. McLaee. With permiamna, l. will fill «p this little unimportant clmsm—The term* of the Bii-i-h act at Parliament not havioghocn accepted by tha United States, American veaaelr were ear.U.ded, by an order io council, from the British Watt indie porta. Why than important interest was neglect ed. ma have been just told by the Seee- tor fritti Kentucky, “ the late adminlstra- tion. were ignorant of the act of Parka* mam - until it was casualiy sees by them.' Briiislt Minister, our admittiatratioh left tho whole trade in thn Itnada of Great Britain for six or eight mouths,—(Ought to cover itself from censure liy invoking legislative interpnattiou, ami then, was compelled to apt on the suspended statute. The iuterdict being proclaimed, the'trade Stood 0)M>a the Vetv advantageous footing, according to- thn Senators judgment, which we have lost by the negotiation. Notwithstanding we were enjoying such eminent advantage!, the late sdntmistra tiOn, i«t Spite of the taunt, directed' Mr Gallatin fo try again to procure whnt - is Dow disparaged, by opening the door of negotiation slier it had been shat in his face. He wae again repulsed. But this humiliation was not enough; Mr. Bar hour was sent to London, and he too had (tie instructions, and went, cap in hand, knocking at the closed door for Regoeis- tion. Sir, he knocked at tha door of the British Ministry, uader circumstances hu miliating in tlie extreme. If a gentleman should go a' second time to a house,.-the proprietor of which, speaking from his window, had directed his porter to dee* him 1o tho visiter, hie visit would have been somewhat like Mr. Barbour’s second coll. Vos, Sir, yet the humiliation wee vain-—tlie second as fruitless as the lint. Such was the condition of this question when General Jackson was placed at the head of the country. One of the firstob- jects ot hi* admiofottatiftn wa* the reco very of the British West India Trade, ah arrangement ot it Upon terms of just reci procity, satisfaction to -both parties, sml, therefore, promising to be permanent.— Mr. McLane was selected to go to Eng land, and these much abused instruction* prepared by the la<e Secretary of State. Let it b« remembered, Sir, these sre in structions from the President of the Uni ted States, to the American Minister, ne- ver intended for the eye ef the British Go vernment, and which In no other conntiy but ours, would ever have seen tlie light. Tho opening of this negotiation wasihe chief difficulty. Toremove it, two grounds nre taka*. It will bo remembered that oor retina! to accede to the terms of tho act of Partis mint, wre made the ground of ret using to treat with Mr. GaNatin and -as tho Britiab fogislRUon. 1 difficulty, aft** a fair mad ‘tit* transacts*^ three regfiHimm are pre sented to ■*, Mclioae to bo ertmad re far as fir might dim it mdfm wad fro* per it to do. If tboNrilfob persist io re fusing to hear yea, on this subject, remind them of tha ttr—malretrs that have oc cur ted ; of the difference of opinion a- mottg ourseivre oo H: of the abandoi mem by the adminietration of thoso pri tenees that -tied prerented an adjust ment ef it-: that limy are not again to be brought forward; that tha past adminis tration was not amenable to she British Government, nor aav oilier, than the |r-o- pin of the United Stares, who bad passed upon all their acts. Say to the British, if it makes pretensions formerly advanced the pretext for still declining to negotiate, the sensibility of the American people will be deeply awakened. That the tone oi public feeling, by a course so unwise and untenable, will ba aggravated by tita knowu fort that Groat Britain hid open ed her colonial ports to Russia and France, notwithstanding a similar omission on their parts to accedu ia limn, to tha terms i>r»-d by tho act oi Parliament. And this, Sir, is represented is the language of entreaty, ee the begging of a boon. This menace of the public indignation; this declaraiiun that thn lata* administration rr.es neither to be censured or praised by foreign nations; was amenable for their conduct to no earthly tribunal bat the peo ple of lira United States, is tortured into a claim of privileges, on party grounds for party purposes, and as a disgraceful at tempt to throw u|Ntn a previous adminis tration unmerited disgrace, for the sake of currying favor with a foreign power, and that power of all others. Great Bsit- sin. Great Britain could uol resist this frank ami often uud manly appeal. Com milted by their concession in faver of France uud Russia, and the Ministry dis tinctly told by Mr. Me Lane, that he would not remain if they declined negotiation, or placed their refusal upon any other ground than an open declaration, that their interests could not permit them to enter into a reciprocal engagement with the United Stales, tlie English Cnbinct relur- (Mtitlv yielded ; and then came the most odious feature in this transaction, that which has sharpened the intellect of tho opposition to-discover dishonor, in truth, and a want of dignity, in a Trank opposi tion of liters, its crowning success. Mr. I Mel.tine and Mr. Van Huron, under Gen. Jackson, succeeded in effecting an object of public solicitude, that Mr. Adams, uud Mr. Clay and Mr. Gallatin and Mr. Uar- hour could not obtain. The country was humiliated by thn preceding administra tion without success; hence the charge against Mr. Van Bitten; hence, the over whelming anxiety to |irorc, that the suc cess ol the late negotiation has been pur chased by humiliation. The British Cab inet desired not to make the arrangement; it interfered with groat local interests, mid if they could, without a manifest ami oii- joet distinction to our prejudice, they would have declined admitting the Uni ted Stale* to the privileges granted to the other maritime power*. Not satisfied with his condemnation of Mr. Van Buren’s in structions, the Senator front Kentucky at tempts to sltew us by referring to nnnther letter of instructions, how this affair lhotili have bet-ti conducted consistently with his idea* of national tumor and dignity. The letter from which he has read lr< the Sen ate, extracts, is I think, siguctl il. Clay, Will the Senator tell us who is responsi ble fur it t If he is, then he exhibits him self in the singular position of a man tri umphantly contrasting the work of his own hand, with that of a rival author. The Senator knows that there were two other instructions, written by himself, of a subsequent date, one to Mr. Gallatin af ter Congress foiled to legislate, ami ano ther to Govrrnnr Barbour, neither of Ifitli is before us, ami therefore, nol to be coutrnsted with Mr. Van Buren’s work- ! am content to abide by the result of a cOatraxt of the instructions he hoe con demned, with those he has quoted. Let ttswee how tin- gciiiloinan’s letter will stand thn test ol exsminstioc. Mr. Gallatin, he says, wns nut iuslrutled to abandon a right; we were to he at liberty at a autre con venient season tu resume iu Mr. Galla tin waa to give a strong proof of our de sire to coueiliata by a temporary conces sion of what we had previously claimed throughout the whole negotiation. Was Mr. Gallatin instructed to say to the Bri tish Government, this is a temporary con cession } No Sir, lie was authorised 1 to ware the claim and make an arrangement, •n the Britiab basis. Put this into, plain language, and wltal was il; strip itj of di plomatic, drapery and verbiage, it is net- - liter more nor lees tlmn an abandonment of a pretension which though we hed supported by argument, we were revolved not to enforce by (tower. Sir, this cov ering up of a plain truth is the common trick of diplomacy, it deceive* no one, and had Mr. Gallatin presented these concil inlorj concessions, they must have been received as a virtual and loud abandon ment of OHr pretensions. The honeyed words of i iglit, waived from a conciliato ry spirit, and with this hope of correspon ding friendly dispositions, would have been received with a sneer, lurking ia the offi cial—artificial smile of a—thoroughbred diplomatist. Tho Suaaspr insists, howev OX, it was a right and not a pretension. If it was a right, why wa* it waved v or sur rendered !•— For conciliation sake. Why, sir; we ware the offended party— £u| ‘ tauaiod us. Eugbod had re til the United Stale*.—Such is thu view who have favored, as with (Mr epmioO re this subject. ’ The present Ad minis- trattoa waived an right for coacOialwa sake; sacrificed no principle. It stood upon tha truth, and the truth only; and whatever may he tha custom of others, and tha ordinary usages of diplomacy, the Axhdioistratioa Was right. Nations fold themselves iathe robes of falsehood, and swell end Strut iu vain—to preserve an air of dignity and decorum. Nn na tion oter was just toils own character,or preserved its dignity, that did not stand at all times before tha warld, iu ilia sober nod simple garb of truth. Sir, the char acter of mu diplomacy lias undergone' a marked change ; we are no longer pre tender* to skill and artifire; all our wiles are foci* and rt aeons, all our artifice, truth nod justice. The Honorable Sen ator tells us that this instruction is false, or else it proves Mr. V. B. to have been criminally ignorant ol what il was hisdu- to know. How does he msko .this appear i he allege* that Mr. V. B. chnrged the^ate administration with being thi first to ad vance tlie pretensions it subsequently abandoned—and this he declares is untrue, thn pretension was set up before the late administration cams iato power. Now, Sir, as I read this paragraph, Mr. V. B. does nol chsrge the late administration with being the first to advance this pre tension. The Senator will recollect ibis is n letter to Mr. McLane, whose person al knowledge is appealed to, and who must have understood the writer as alluding to a fact of general notoriety, the words aro •• those who first advanced,” ifc. have subsequently abandoned. Cun any man mistake the meaning—the meaning per fectly in accordance with the fact 1 Tlie pretension wns advanced by tbe use of the futoous elsewhere in our act' of Con gress.
