By this policy she hasljast, “ that by a royal order, priva tion of his conduct in that part of his correspondence, which had given um brage to tlie American government.’ This paper (bearing date the 13th of November) is not very explicit ; but it would appear to be calculated to] give rather a new form to the state ments, whit h Mr. Jackson had sul fered the government of the United States to view in another light, until it "had no choice but to act upon thr obvious and natural interpretation of them sanctioned by himself. It was never objected to Mr. Jack- son (as this paper seems to suggest) that lie had stated, that the three pro positions, in Mr. Erskine’s original instructions, were'submitted to Mr Smith by that gentlemen ; or that he had stated it as made known to him bv Mr. Canning, that the instruction to Mr. Erskine, containing those three conditions, was the only one from which his authority was deriv ed for the conclusion of an arrange ment on the matter to which it relat ed. The objection was, that he had as cribed to t'oe American government a*knowledge, that the propositions, submitted to its consideration by Mr. Erskine, were indispensable conditi ons ; and that he did so, even after that Knowledge had been distincly disclaimed,and he had been made to perceive that a repetition of the alle gation could not be suffered. I will ingly leave your Lordship to judge wile the r, Mr. Jackson’s correspon deuce will bear any other construct! on than it in fact received ; and whe ther, supposing it to have been erro neously construed, his letter of the 4-tli of November should not have corrected the mistake, instead of con lirming and establishing it As an explanation, this paper was even worse than nothing.—It had not the appearance of tin attempt to rec tify misapprehension. It sought to put the American government in the wrong, by assuming that what had given so much umbrage ought not to have given any.—It imported re ptoach, rather than explanation. It kept out of sight the real offence, &nd, introducing a new and insuffici ent one in its place, seemed to dis close no other wish than to withdraw from the government of the United States the ground upon which it had proceeded. Its apparent purpose, in a word, was to fix a charge of injus tice upon the past, not to produce a beneficial effect upon the future. In this view, and in this only, it was per fcctly consistent that it should an nounce Mr. Jackson’s determination to retire to New-York The time when this paper was pre sented will not have escaped your Lordship’s observations. It follow ed the demand, already mentioned, of a safeguard for “ Mr. Jackson, his family and the gentlemen attach cd to his mission ;” a demand which cannot lie regarded especially if wc look to the inducements to which it was referred, as either concilialorv or respectful. It followed, too, the letter of the 4th of November, which, had explanation been intended, ought undoubtedly to have contained it, but which, in lieu of it, contained fresh matter of provocation. It was itself followed bv the publication of its own substance in another garb. On the very day of its date, when Mr. Jackson, if he meant it.as an ex planation, could not be justified in concluding that it would not be sa- • tislnctory, it was moulded by him into the circular address to which I have before alluded; and immedi ate steps appear to have been taken to give to it, in that shape, the ut most publicity. 1 have no wish, nn Lord, io make any strong remarks tmnn that proceeding.—it will be and happiness of each other. I have the honor to be, with the highest consideration, my Lord, your Lordship’s most obedient, humble servant. (Signed) Wm. PINKNEY The inont noble, The Ma quis Wellesley, eiV. £sfc Retrod from the Circular of Mr Sbeffcj of Virginia. A conflict in which universal em pire was the object on the one hand, and commercial monopoly as finishing the means of effectual resistance on the other, it could scarcely be thought probable, that the United States u ho stood connected by commercial re lations with the two great belligerents should remain entirely exempt from injury and injustice. Experience has shewn how fallacious such a hope would have been. Great Britain a- early as 1805, interdicted to neutrals ill direct commerce between the co lonies of her enemies and the mother countries, which subjected the Unit ed States, who were at that time the principal carriers ot the colonial pro duce to the continent of Europe, to very great inconvenience and injury. Uie French emperor as soon as lie had subverted the Prussian monar chy, and sealed the destiny of con tinental Europe, with a view to shackle the commerce of Great Bri tain, and to bring neutrals into Ins toils, issued a decree dated at Berlin in November, 1806, by which the British islands in Europe were de clared in a staje of blockade, and all ountcrvr.il the I’rench Berlin decree. ,hc declared France and all its tribu ary states in a state of blockade, and subjected to condemnation all vessels itteinptingto trade from any neutral port to anv of those countries, and moreover subjected to capture, all neutral vessels that should have such a certificate of origin, as was requir ed by the decrees of France. Un der these regulations and the right claimed and exercised by the British government, to impress her subjects on board neutral vessels, (so subject to abuse) the American commerce and navigation have suffered in a ve ry great degree ; many of our vessels with their cargoes have been con demned ; a number ot our seamen have been dragged from their occu pations and placed on board the ships of war, to fight th: battles of Great Britain, where many of them are still detained. This detail and the outrageous attack on the Chesapeake contain the principal items in the list of American grievances, inflicted by the belligerents during the 5 last years. To protect the commerce of the U. States against these unjust mea sures, by securing the vessels and capital of our citizens within our own ports, and to coerce Great Britain and France into a course more com patible with our interest, the ever memorable embargo was adopted. After the test of fourteen months ex perience, it was however discovered that the injuries which it inflicted, were not exactly apportioned accord ing to the rules of distributive jus tice. It was felt that those who ha done all the wrong, did not receive all the chastisement. Our revenue which is entirely dependent on fo reign commerce, is daily diminish ing ; our vessels were rotting in our harbours; our seamen seeking fo reign service ; our agricultural pro- lucts without a mrrket, and every species of enterprize and industry (except smugging) without encou ragement. It was found necessary to abandon the system as not fur nishing a competent and appropriate remedy for the evils of which we complained. In its stead the non intercourse law was adopted, whicl interdicted commerce with the do minions of Great Britain and France, and prohibited the importation of their products and manufacture.— During this state ot things the go- To cherish the growing commerce ot this country, would have secured to her not only certain, but lastim advantages, which a different policy 1 has perhaps lost to her forever. But the spirit of monoplv and the dictates of sound wisdom do not always act in concert; and avarice not unfre- quentlv deflates its own object.— Governed by this spirit the rulers ot G.

To this proposition, Russia will be very unwilling to consent, unless compulsory measures are adopted by the French Minister here.
