Houfe of Riprefcntatives,
Frithy, April 20.
The fpeaker laid before the
houfe the following letter, which
was read :
Wajhington, April 19, 1810.
Sir—Alter a tedious pafl'age
from New-Orleans I arrived at
Baltimore on the 16th inltant,
and reached this city the next
day. My abfence has been ne-
ccffarily protrafted by the (elec
tion of papers from a mafs of
twenty years accumulation, for
the ellablifhment of fafts, to re
fute the multifarious and diverfi
fied calumnies by which I have
been'affailed.
I now prefent myfeif to the re-
prel'entative body of the nation,
the guardians of the public weal
and the protestors ot individual
rights, toexprefs my earned de
file that they may conffitute
foine impartial tribunal which
may be governed with ftriftnefs
by the principles of the confliiu-
tion and ihe laws of evidence, to
inveftigate the conduit of my
whole life, civil and military,
whereby juflice may be done and
my unexampled perfection be
terminated.
Iavtr my innccence of the
foul offences which are imputed
to me 2nd declare my ability to
fupport it before any unprejudi
ced court. Through you, fir, I
appeal to iny country, 5c I claim
that right which is not refufed
to the mod profligate—the right
of confronting my accufers. The
representatives of the people will
and that I have never deceived
her; difclaimiug at the fame
time all advantages to be derived
from any aft or claule of liinita
tion.
But as this has been the thea
tre of iny command, generally,
lor eleven yeai*s pa(t, as my com
panions in fervice and the evi
dence of my conduft, (many of
whom have retired to the walks
of private life) are now in this
country, it will be impoffible fol
iated poffibility by inltrufting
Mr. Erlkine to procure a certain
Itipulalioii from the Ameiieau
government which the Ameri
can conllitution did not allow the
executive* to grant." This lli-
pulation was, that th<* non-inter,
courfe aft fhould be eniorcetl
againft France, congrefs not fet-
ting—and { s defcri'ied ax
prepolterous as if a foreign
power treated with England dur-
ing the recefs of parliament,
point, the teftimony neceflary to
rebut the fidions or faifhoods of
my enemies, or to illuftrate my
humble ftrvices as a public offi
cer: I therefore hope the requeft
may no: be deemed an unreafon-
able one, that the enquiry or
court martial fhould be held at
fotne military poft within this
territory ; the more particularly
as the main body of the army is
here, and a fuitable court can be
formed with more convenience
me to command, at any diftant fhould demand that his majelly
fhould bind himfelf to the levy
ing a certain tax upon his Tub-
jefts. But the non-intercourse
aft. if we recolleft right, gave
to the prefidenf the power, ever*
when the congrefs was not fit
ting, to remove the operation
from one of the belligerents, if
he repealed his obnoxious or
ders, and to continue it towards
the other, if he did not. And
this Mr. Eifkine fays in his dif.
patch of the 20th April—for
to individuals who may compofe ! alluding to the aft he ftates, that
it, and with the Ids expence to
the public.
A general officer, to relit ve
me from command, and to pre-
fule at the enquiry, will be the
only perfon r.eccffary to be or
dered out; and, under thefe cir-
cumftances, I flatter myfeif no
gentleman in cotnmiflion will
deem this duty a hardfhip.
With perfeft refpeft, I am, &c.

Columbia Spring, OH. 13, 1S09.
Sir—Having received infor
mation that certain imputations
have been alledged againft me
by the late captain George Peter
and certain fubalterns in office,
which are calculated to affeft my
charafter as a military officer,
it is my earnelt defire that a
court of enquiry fhould be or
dered to examine into my con
duft from the commencement of
my military fervice, with injunc
tions to report an opinion. Or
fhould my enemies have been
hardy enough to prefer formal
charges againft me, which are
deemed worthy of invefligation,
that an arreft may enfue, and a
general court martial be appoint
ed for my trial.
In making this requeft, I am
moved by a confcioulnefs of my
integrity ; by a iacred regard to
my charafter, and the felf-con-
viftion that I have ferved my
country with seal and fidelity,
material will be found in our
paper of to day -—They do not
in ihe lealt change the opinion
we have before expreffed, that
our government afted with wife
and found policy in difavowing
Mr. Erfkine* s arrangement, and
that Mr. Erfkine neither abided
by the letter or the Ipirit of his
inflruftions. One of our co
temporaries, however, has laid
down a curious ground of de
fence for Mr. Erfkine. Beeaufe
Mr. Canning had, in one of his
difpatches, made a general de
the I: th feftion provided for
fui h a contingent propofrtion.
Ihe reading Mr. Canning’s
difpatches laid before the houl'c
yefterday, exalts his reputation
in our eyes. He afted w .h firm-
nefc. wirh wif.Jom, and with that
true Butifh principle which we
hope will always influence and.
direft the meafures of a Britifti
cabinet.
