INSTRUCTIONS—CONCLUDED.
Mr. .Monroe, Secretary of State, to the plenipo
tentiaries of the United States, at St. Peters
burg.
Department of Staley Jan. Bth, 1814.
Gentlemen—l have the honor to transmit
to you a copy of a letter f -om lord Casde
reagh to this department, and of a note from
lord Cafhcart to the Russian government,
with my reply to the communication.
The arrangement of a negociatiwn to be held
at Gotteilbiirg, directly between the United
Siatcs and Great Britain, without the aid of
the Russian mediation, makes it necessary
that new should be issued corres
pondent with it, and for this purpose that a
new nomination should De made to the senate.
The president instructs me to inform you,
that you will both be included in it, and that
he wishes you to repair, immediately on the
receipt of this, to the appointed rendezvous.
It is probable the business may not be limited
to yourselves on account of the great interests
involved in the result. The commissions and
instructions will be duly forwarded to you,
as soon as the arrangements shall be finally
made. .
In taking leave of the Russian government,
you will be careful to make krtov/n to it the
sensibility of the President to the friendly dis
position of the emperor, manifested by the of
fer of his mediation ; the regret felt at its re
jection by the British government, and a de
sire that;, in future, the greatest confidence
and cordiality, and the best understanding
may prevail between the two governments.
I have the honor to be. kc. &c. kc.
(Signed) JAMES MONROE.
Mr. Sionroe., Secretary of State to the Ameri
can Plenipotentiaries at Gottenburg.
Department of State, /an. 21, 1814.
Gentlemen—The British government
having declined rte Russian mediation, and
proposed to treat directly with the United
State*? the president has, on due consideration
thought proper to accept the overture. To
give effect to this arrangement, it was neces
sary that a new commission should be formed,
and for that purpose Hist ant w nomination
should be,made to the Senate, by whose ad
vice and cofiscnt this important trust is com
mitted to DU.
You will consider the instructions given to
the commission to.treat Under the mediation
I of Russia, as applicable to the negociation with
which you are now charged, except as they
may be modified by this letter.
, I shall call your attention to the moat im
portant grounds of the controversy with Great
Britain only, and makesUch remarks on each,
and on the whole subject? as have occurred
since the date of the former instructions, ant!
ate deemed applicable to the present jun .ture,
taking into view tile negotiation in which you j
are about to engage
On impressment, as to the right of the Uni
ted States to be < xeinp ed from it, 1 have
nothing new to add. The-sentiments of the
President have undergone no change on that
important subject. Their degrading practice
must cease? out flag must protect .the crew,
or tbs United States c.,hnot consider -them
selves an independent nation. To settle this
difference aitricubly, Jhe President is willing,
as you are alteady informed by the former in
structions, to remove all pretext for it, to the
British government, by excluding all British
seamen horn our vessels, and even to extend i
the exclusion to all British subjects, ll neces- |
sary, excepting only the lew already natural- ,
ised, and to stipulate likewise the surrender j
of all Biitish seamen deserting in our ports I
in future from British vessels, public or pri- ,
vate. It was presumed by all dispassionate ’
persons, that the late law of Congress relative j
ta seamen wouW effectually accomplish the j
object. But the president is willing, as you
find to prevent a possibility of failure, to go
further.
Should a treaty be made, it is proper, and
would have a coticihatpry effect, that all our
impressed seampn who may be discharged un
der it, should be paid for their services,by the
British government, for the time of U it de
tention, the wages which they might haye ob
tained in the merchant service of their own
country. 3
Blockade is the subject next in point of im
portance, which you will have to arrange. In
the instruction* bearing date on the 13th of
April, 1813, it was remarked, that a* tlje
British government had revoked it* ciders in
council, and agreed that no blockade could be
legal whi Ji wa»/ujt supported by an adequate
force, and that vuch adequate force should be
(applied to any blCeLade which it might here.-
after institute, this cause of controversy seem
ed to be removed. Further reflection, how
ever, has added great force to the expedien
cy and importance of a pret.ae definin' n of
the public law on this subject. There is much
cause to presume, that if the repeal of the or
ders in council had taken place in time to have
been known here before t ie der laration of war,
& had had the effect of preventing the declara
tion, not only that no provision would have
been obtained against impressment, but that
under the name of blockade the same extent (
ol coast would have been covered by procla
mation as had been cov’-red by the orders in
touLcd- Tl?e war, which tinge • lQt ‘
[Whole No. 801.
impressment contributed so much to produce*
might possibly prevent that consequence.
Hut it Would be more satisfactory, if not more
safe t<; guard against it by a formal definition
in the treaty. It is true, should the British
government violate again the legitimate prin
ciples of blockade, in whatever terms, or under
whatever pretext it might be done, the United
States would have in their hands a correspon
dent resort ; f nt a principal object in making
peace is to prevent, by the justice and reci
procity of the conditions, a recurrence again
to war, for the same cause. iHtish
government sincerely wishes to make a dura
ble peace with the United Stales, it cun have
no reasonable objection to a just d-finition of
blockade, especially as the two governments
have agreed in their correspondence, in all its
essential features. The instructions of the
13th of April, 1813, have stated in rviiut man
ner the president is willing to arrange this
difference.
On the other neutral rights, enumerated in
the former instructions, 1 shall remark only,
that the catalogue is limited in a manner to
evince a spirit of accommodation ; that tli»
arrangement proposed in each instance is
just in itself; that it corresponds with the i n
eral spirit of treaties between commercial
powers, and that Great Britain has sanction
ed it in many treaties, and gone beyond it its
some,
On the claim to indemnity for spoliations,
1 have only to refer you to what was satd ni
the former instructions. 1 have to add, that
should a treaty be formed, it is just m itself,
and would have a happy >*h.ci on the futuio
relations of the two countries, if indemnity
should be stipulated oil eucn side, for the des
truction of ail unfortified towns, nd other-pri
vate property, contrary to the laws umPubagei
of war. It is equally proper that negroes tak
en from the southern stairs sliomd be return
ltd to thefr owners, or paid for at their full .
Value—ft is known that a shameful tiuffic has
been carried on m the West ladies, by tho
sale of these persons there, by those who pro
fessed to be ttieir deliverers. Os tins fact,
tlie proof which has reached this department
shall be furnished you If these slaves ar®
considered as non-combatants, they ought to
be restored ; if, as property, they ought to bs
paid for, The treaty of peace contains an
article, which recognises this principle.
In the view which I have taken of the con
ditions on which you ate to insist,in the pro
posed negotiations, you will find, on a com
psiison of them with those stated in tho
former instructions, that there is no material
difference be ween them, the two last mention
ed claims to indemnity excepted, which havo
originated since the date of those instructions.
I'lte principal object of this review hasten
to show, thJi the sentiments of the president,
are the same in every instance, and that tho
I reasons for maintaining them have become
l more evident and strong since the tute of tnoso
1 instructions
In accepting the overture of the British gov
ernment to treat independently of me Hessian
mediation, the United States have acted on
principles winch governed them in every tran
saction relating to peace since the war. Had
the British government accepted the Russian
mediation, the United States .vould have trea
ted for themselves, independently of any other
power, and had Great Britain met them ors
just conditions, peace would have been the im
mediate result. Ifad she refused to accede tOj,
, such conditions, and attempted t# dictate oth
■ ers, a knowledge of the views of other powers
■ on those poiftts might have- been useful to tho
! United .States. In agreeing to treat directly
with Great Britain, not only is no concession
I con'eniplated, on Bny point in controversy,
I but the same desire is cherished to preserve a
| go6d understanding with Russia ; and the
j other Baltic powers, as if the negotiation
j bad taken place under the mediation of Russia.
It is probable that the British government
may have declined the Russian mediation,
from the apprehension of an understanding - .
between the United States and Russia, for vei # •
different purpose* from those which have been
contemplated, in the hope that a much better
treaty might be obtained of the United Statc-sX^f* 1 *
in a direct nfgcciat’on, than could be obtainedJhjpa?*
under the Russian mediation, and with a vievr j;, e '
to profit of tlie concessions which might thu * /, < WQ
he made by oie United States in future neg*‘ '
ciations witffthe Baltic powers If this • W
the object of the British government, and it.
not easy to conceive any other, it cleat"] '
prove* the alvantage to li« derived in the pro rf^'"L “»
posed negotiation, from the aid of those pow^" 13 ' *C
ers, in securing from the British government, ‘^ et r
such conditions as would be satisfactory to all ' h
parties. It Would be highly honorable as well* j
as advantageous to the United States, if the VS*
negociation with which you are charged, ‘if
suould terminate in such a treaty. 4 -if ®
