No. 14.
Dispatch from the honorable
David M. Erskine to Mr
Secretary Canning dated
Wajhihgton fib Aug.
1809.
Sir,
Before I proceed to lay
; before you fuel} cxplana
-1 tions as I have to offer re
lating to the points mention
ed in your dispatch, No. n,
of the 23d May, iti which
you have expressed to me
his majeity’s entire disap
probation, of my deviations
from the inllructions con
tained in your No 2, trans
mitted to me by Mr. Oak*. -
ley I viill take this oppor
tunity of informing you |
that the American govern
ment did not consult witn
me on the propriety or ex- 1
pediency of publidling the j
notes, which palled be - j
tween the Secretary ot State
Mr. Robert Smith, and
myi’clf in our negociations,
but according to their prac
tice they,made public the
date of their foreign rela
tions at the moment when
they thought it was for the
intercd of the United States |
that it should be known.
The reasons which were
afligned by the Secretary
of date for having done so,
were certainly intended as
favorable to his majesty’s
intereil, since he declared it 1
was with a view to exhibit
to the people of this coun
try the adjustment of differ
ences with Great Britain
which had taken place, 6c (
the proved of a further |
good understanding, in or
der that the members of
Congress might aasscmble j
with favorable fentiinents
towards Great Britain, as;
also that the event might
be speedily and generally
known in France, lb'as to
bring that power to a de-j
finitive determination ref-.-
pecting its relations with
the U. States.
It would not only be
fuperduous but might be
deemed improper that 1
lliould repeat the reasons al - j
ready detailed in my No. 20 j
of-the 18th of April, which j
led me to believe, that I had
conformed to the spirit if I
not to the letter of vour'
j
indructions contained in
your No. 2, since I have I
received the comm unica- 1
tion throagh you of his ma
jesty’s disapprobation ofthe
manner in which I have ex
ecuted them.
It remains for me only to
declare, That I was greatly
influenced in my condudt
by the repeated intimations
in your initru&ions (in No
4. Jan. 23,) that “ the sin
cerity of the good dispo-
| ikioti professed by the per
! tons compoftng the new
> American Adminitlration
was the point molt impor
tant to the view of the Uri
tifh government.”
That deposition I was
j fully convinced was enter
i tained by this government,
1 which they were ready to
i evince in any way consilient
! with the power they held
j hy the conihtution of the U.
| State s.
His majesty having tho’t
proper to cause you to com
municate his lurprize and
| regret, that I Ihould have
: received Inch a note as that
I from Mr. Smith in anl wer
j to the offer for reparation
1 for the affair of the Chcfa
; peake, as a proof of the ac
ceptance by the government
i of the United States of the
J honorable reparation tender
ed by his 111; jedy “ in the
fame lpirit oi conciliation,
m which it was propoled,”
i am therefore precluded 1
from offering any obferva
tious upon ttiat lubject oth
er than such as I have ven
tured to make in the pre
ceding number of my dis
patches.
As further apology I may
be permitted to observe,
that as I had (I conceive)
full reason for belciving that
the dispoiition of the Uni
ted States was conciliatory,
1 may have dwelt in my
own mind, while writing
my note in answer to that
of Mr. Smith, upon that
impression, and may have
on that account attributed
to Mr. Smith’s note a flron
ger appearance of concili
ation than the language of
it may jultify.
It is remarked by you in
your No. 11, of the 23d
May, that my inflections
did not authorize me to
hold out the expectation
that his majefly would fend
an envoy extraordinary to
conclude a treaty with the
government of the United
States, until his majesty
ihould have received from
him an authentic and offi
cial recognition pf the con
ditions which I was directed
to require.
The conditions were un
doubtedly not recognized
in the formal manner re
quired by you, bccaufe this
government had not luffi
cient authority to make an
engagement as to what
ihould be the determination
of the United States, thro’
its legiflativeaffemblies up
on the dace of their foreign
relations.
It rested with the Con
gress alone to declare, that
the non-intercourse law
should be continued or not
and in what manner it should
be carried into effedt. The
r No. 98]
MONDAY, Augu»t 117. i«to
President could do no more
t.'un act upon the law as it
cxifted.
I have already furnifliecl
you in my No. 20, with my
reaforis tor believing that
all the conditions would
have been accomplished by
the Congress, which had
pledged themselves in the
most solemn manner, to re
lid the restrictions upon
their neutral rights against
lueh powers as Lhouid in
fringe them.
I had informed you in
some difpatchcs font before
I had received my In (trac
tions, that the American go
vernmentdid not know with
iullicicnt accuracy what
nations had iiFtied or infor
ced decrees violating neu
tral rights, but that when
they could ascertain that
fact, there could be no
doubt t;iat the Congress
would make the non-inter
course act to comprehend all
luch powers as ffiould
adopt or ad under the de
crees of France.
it appears from the gen
eral tenor of dispaches, No.
10 and 11 ; that his majes -
ty’s government were not
willing to trust to a duran
ces from the American go
vernment, but that official
pledges were to hava been
required, which could not
begiven for the want of
power, and some them al
io being of a nature which
would prevent a formal re
cognition.
Had I believed that his
majesty’s government were
determined to in lift upon
thofc conditions being com.
plied with, in one particu
lar manner only, I ihould
have adhered implicitly to
my imtructtions ; but as I
collected from them, that
his majelly was desirous of
accomplidiing his retaliato
ry lyliem by inch means a3
were most compatible with
a good underftauding, with
friendly and neutral powers
I felt confident that his
majfily would have appro
ved oi rhe arrangement I
had concluded, as one like
ly tol&id to a cordial 6c com
plete understanding and co
operation on the part of tile
United States, which co
operation nevercould be ob
tained by previous stipula
tion either from the govern
ment of the United States,
who power to ac.
cede to them*dr .from the
Congress, which would ne
ver acknowledge them as
recognitions to guide their
conduct.
I have, 6cc. See
