farther remarks occafoned by the speech of
Mr, Canning,
“ I (hall only (late that in the whole con
dud of the Eritifh government, with refped
to ’he affair 0; tne Chesapeake, we have en
deavored to keep in view the principle up
on which we set out, namely, to giake am.
pie reparation for that which was a decided
ly wrong ad $ bat to make that reparation
under a determination not to forrender a
right which the petit majority of the conn,
try has ever ccnfitfered as ejfvtialto its deer,
ejiinterefts. Sir, I may boldly appeal to
the country to determine, whether fre sn the
correfpondcnpe tip the table of the house, a
ny bad difptTmcjn on the part of his majef.
ty's mini tiers His appeared through the
whole tranfadioty. That the rupture c* the
• negotiation on this fubjed was not attended
with any htftilefeeling on -irher fide, is
an incontrovertible truth.' The reparation
was not accepted by America bccaufe Arre
rica woild nor fulfil the condition on which
alone it was tendered, namely, the revoca
tion of that proclamation by which the Bri.
tifh snips were not ."Towed to enter the har
bors of America,’while those of the enemy
visited them ar pfeTure. Bin, Sir, the men.
ner in which the Biitifh reparation was ten
dered to America by a special million, was,
to all the feeling of nice honor, an tfftdivc
) reparation, .although nor accepted ; and fa
in sass we have every reason to believe that
it was con Hut red, by, .he American govern
ment,” %
From the difgraccfnl anim.iclveTfions with
w’hich the federal prints abound, it would
seem that they bad entirely forgotten the
black outrage commtted on o«r tights and
honor in the attack on the Cbefapeake. T|fis
afl is rarely alluded to, and only recogni
zed as a topic of ccnfure on the administra
tion. While they are absurdly denounced
' for not heaping unavailing re men ft ranee on
the table of the British cabinet against the
British orders, the situation in which the
unatoned outrage on the Chcfapeakc places
a government not mean enough tu crouch to
violence and injjfticc is studiously thrown
out of view. Have thefc party men forgot
ten the circamlfances that fuccceded shat da.
ring outrage? If they have,, the NATION
HAVE NOT, and, it is (• be hoped, will
not forget them, until that ample repartition
is made, which Mr. Canning pretends was
tendered.
For the purpose of exposing rhe fallacious
view taken by Mr. Canning in His remarks
on this point, we (hall concisely lta|e tbefe
circtimllanres. No fooacr was the outrage
committed, than the national fenfilpility
was excited to the highelf pitch of icfent.
■tent; with *nc voice it demanded repara,
tion or letaiiation. Even the Eflex Junto
was awed into silence. The voice of trea*
fan was still. The demand , for reparation
was listened toby the British ministry with
apparent refped. The universal sentiment
prevalent in their own nation extorted this
, from them. Reparation was promised. In
ffead, however, of instantly making it, &
thuscfFoiffually wipiagaway the (hade it had
caff on the honor of a gallant people, it was
dextrouflp convened into a topic of negoti
ation, and a special mifTun the

After .1 very protnfted delay Mr. Roft
arrived in the United States. His firft re
quifttion was that the affiir of the Chcfa
pcake should be feperated from all other to
pics ofcontroverfy between the two govern
ments. This was irftantly acceded tp by
our government. * Mr. Rose then dated his
reidinefs to enter upon the difeufiion of a
fuitaWfc reparation, provided the Preftdent’t
proclamation werepicvionfty te/cinded. This
humiliating concession was rejefted by our
government ; who, however, offered, in
case tfce reparation proposed ftuiuld be fatif
faftsry, ro make the receipt *f the repara
ti«n and the revolution of the proclamation
co. temp- neoesf. This propofnicn was
finally rejefted by Mr. Rofc, who left the
United States, eycn after having obtained*
what Mr. Canr ing was so anxious for in
London, the reparation of ihe Affair cf the
Chcfapeake from all others, witheut having
made, or even tendered any fpecific repara
tion whatever.
Let us’now ted the remaiks of Mr. Can
ning hy this indisputable ftarcroem of Lifts.
“ In the whole conduft of the Britiibgo
.vernment, with refpeft to the af&fajif the
Chefapcakc, we have endtavored to keep in
view the principle upon which we set out,
namely, to make ample reparation for that
which was a decidedly wrong aft ; but to
make that reparation under a determination
not to surrender a right which the £ real ma
jority of the country has ever confidcrcd as
effcntial to its dearejl inter efts,"
The outrage is allowed to have been de
cidedly a wtong aft, for which (he Britifli
government was bound to make ample repa
ration. How have they (hewn the sincerity
of their pnrpofc to make this reparation ?
Has this been ihewn by their owiffir n t«v
make this reparation the moment they heard
of the outregc, when it might have been
made without negotiating 1 with, or at all
coufuhing *ur government, by an unquali
fied difavuwal of the aft, by breaking and
punishing the officer who committed if, or
delivering him into our hands for trial, and
by a pecuniary indemnity for the injury done
to the Chelaptake ? Have they even tefto
red the men, who if they bad no right to
take, they certainly had no right to retain ?
Thtfe afts, diftinftly, or in the agtegatc,
might have been peifarmed by the Bri ifh
government themfcfves. Did they do the
whole, or either of them I Had they felt
the reproach upon their characters, as they
cught to have felt sr, would they not have
purfurd this course f
N<», the affair was submitted to negocia
lion, and on the eve of this negotiation dill
greater outrages on oar rights were commit
ted, not by fabordinarc officers, by the
mhiiftets themfelvcs, expressly enforced by
a royal fanftion and approved by Parliament
Is this the proof Mr. Canning alludes to of
a total freedom from bad difpofiticas on the
. part of his majtfty’s tninittcr: ?
But i; seems that is was refid ved only'*to
make that reparation under a determination
not to surrender a fight which the great ma
jority of the country has ever ccnfiucred as
essential to its deal est intciefts.**
This alludes te the general fnbjeft of im
preffments, which the American government
was in the firft inftar.ee anxious to place up
on such a tooting a* to fccuie their Teamen
ard vtffd from all future outrages, and
with this view otiginally aiming at uniting
the general fuhjeft with the particular case
oj the Chefapcakc—but which was immedi
ately abandoned, when they found that if
might be an oUfacle to a fathfaftory ar
rangement of the affair of the Chcfapeake.
Mr. Canning's ft nirtfh , tbcrefnre on this
point, is idle and irrelevant. That deter
mination on the part of the British govern,
ment, unjust as it was, prtfcn'ed no obsta
cle to’ their doing ns full just ice, to their ma
king ample rep*r:t,jon for the outrage on the
Chcfapeake*
Mr. Canning proceeds to fay— “ Sir, I
may boldly appeal to the country' to deter
mine, whether from the correfpoujtnte < n
the table of thf House, any bad difpofitton
on the part of his roajefty *3 minifteu has
appeared through the whole tranfaftion.
That the rupture of the negotiation on this
fubjeft was not anended with any hofti.'e
feeling on either fide, is .yi incontrovertible
truth." However boldly Mr. Canning m y
