French decrees, they comprise regulations es- ceived through such neutral, it would not be a
aentiahy different in their pi ncip.cs, some of retaliation, hut a positive wiong, by the plea on
them violating the neutral rights of the Unit- which it is founded.
ed States, etheis operating agains Gteat-Bri
tain without any such violation*
You will permit me, sir, for the purpose of
answering .your questions as deary and con
cisely as possible, to bring into weirthe French
decrees themselves, together wuh the Official
declarations cf the French minister which ac
companied them.
In the bndy of those decrees and in the de-
clataiions alluded to, you will find, sir,express
avowals that the principles mi which they were
founded, and the provisions.contained in them,
ire wholly new, unprecedented, and in direct
cont'adxtion to all ideas of justice and the prin
ciples and usages of all civilized n&ions.
The French government did not pretend to
say that ar.y one of the regulations contained in
:hese decrees was a regulation which France
had ever been in the previous piaclce of.
They were consequently to be considered,
and were indeed allowed by Fi ante herself to
be, all of the'ftf, parts* of a rrewsynem of war
fare, unauthorised by the established laws of
nations.
It is in this light in which Fiance herselfhas
placed her decrees, that Gr.*at-Brkain is oblig
ed to consider them,
The submission of neutrals to any regula
tions. made by. France nuihunscb by_tj)c laws
of nations and practised in former wars, will
never be complained of by Greri-Britain ; but
the regulations of the Bet lin and Milan decrees
dc, iand are declared to violate the laws of na
tions and jhe ngh s of neutral’s, for the purpose
of attaGh.tr.gi ihtough them, the resources of
Great-Britam. The ruler of-F.i auce has drawn
r.o distinction he'ween any ot then, tier has he
declared die. cessation of any one ot them in
the speech v.'hieit tie so la'eLy itdtliessed to the
deputation f.ojn the.free imperial Hanse towns,
which watt on ithe'coirliuiy a; cotidmiaticn Ol
them all.’
No' until the’Freuehcdecrees therefore shall
"be effectually repealed, and thereby neutral,
commerce be restored td'thc svuation tn which
it stood previously to their p:oreuL-\iion, dm
l>is royal highness conceive Fit nsetf justified,
consistently with what he owes to the safety
and honor o£Gteat-3ihain, in forego-ng he
just measures of retaliation wliic.h his nujes y
•in his defence was r.ecessitaied to adopt against
them.
J trus-,* sir, that this explana'ion, in answer to
your enquiries wtb be conside' ctj by you suffi
ciently satisfactory. Should you require any
further, and which it may be in ray power to
give’, I shall with the greatest cheerfulness af-
loid it.
I sincerely hope, however, that no further
delay will ne thought necessary by the presi
dent in-restoring the relations ,.t amity which
should ever -subsist between America and
Greal-Britairt, as the delations attempted by | pt
the government of France have now-been made !
manifest, and the petfi lious plans of its ruler
exposed ; by which, while he adds to and ag
gravates his system ot violence against neutral
trade, he endearors to throw all the odium cf
his acts upon Gieat-Br’nain, with a view to en
gender (I'scord baisveeo the netitr;-.! countries,
and 'he only power which stands up as a bul
wark against im ctfx tsal universal tyranny and
oppression
conformably to the act of Msy 1st, 1810.

The senate concluded reading certain parts

following resolutions2 »-•
Renoived, That so much of the message of

It is to be farther remarked, that the orders
in council went even beyond the plea, such as
this has ap|*eared to be, in ex rending its opera
tion against the trade of ijie United States,
with nations which, like Russia, had not adopted
the French decieee r -urai -with all nations which

the extravagance of the political pretension set j ol b er wise.
up bv it—a pretension which is utteily incorn-
pattble wi h the sovere'gnty and independence
of other states. In a commercial view it is net
less objectionable, as it cannot fail to prove de
structive to neutral commerce. A-. an enemy
Greut-BritaLn cannot trade with/France. Nor
does France permit a neutral to come into her'
ports from Grett-Britain- The- attempt of
Grcut-Br’rrairt xo fotec our trade through her
ports, would have therefore thecommercial ef
fect of depriving-the United States altogether
of the market of' her enemy fur their piuduc-.-
tiurts. and of destroying their value in her mar
ket by a surcharge of it. Heretofore, it has
: fceen the usage of belligerent nations to-carry
on their trade through the interventions of neu
trals;’and-this had the beneficial effect of ex
tending to the former the advantages of peace,
while suffering under the calanriries of war.—
To reverse this rule, and to extend to nations at
peace the calamities of war, is a change as nov
el and extraordinary as it is at variance with
justice and public law.
Against this unjust system, the United States
entered, at an early period, their solemn pro
test. Thev considered it their duty to evince
to '.he World their high disapprobation of it, and
they have d me so bv such acts.as -were deemed'
most consistent with the rights and the policy
of the nation-. Remote from the contentious
scene which desolates Europe, it.has been their
uniform object to ovoid becoming a party to the
war. With this view they have-endeavoted to
cultivate friendship wi fi bo'h panics, by a sys
tem of conduct which ought i-o have produced
that effect.. They have done justice to each
party in every transaction in which they have
been-separately eng .ged with iu They have
observed the impartial', y which was due to
bo'iq as belligerents standing on equal ground,
in no ji-.s ance given a prefere.tre toei-
havir.g
ther at the-exper.ce of the other. They have
borne too with equal indulgence injuries from
both—being willing white it was possible to im*
them to casualties inseparable from a
cause of .war; and not a deliberate intention to
viola e their rights ; and even when that inten
tion could not be mistaken, they have not lost
sight of the ultimate object of their pci cy. In
the measures toAvnic’n tney have been compel
led to resort, they have in all tespects main
tained pacific relations with both parties. The
alternative presented by their lute ucis, was of
fered equally to both, and could opetate on
neither, no longer than it should persevere in
