O.i the nomnutti a of Mr. Vuu Butch.
[. untlndeii Iran our last j
Sudi was the condition of this question
Vhen Gca. Jackson was placed it the
he ‘d <>i the country. Uite of the lirat
objects of his administration was liic re
covery of the lintish West India Trade,
an arrangement of it ujiori terms of past
reciprocity, satisfactory to both parties,
and therefore, promising to tic permanent.
Mr. McL.n.e >. ns selected to go to Eng
land, and these much abused instructions
prepared by the lute Secretary of State.
Le. it be reiueinhered, Sir, those are in
structions from the President of the Uni
ted States, to the AuiericaH M mister, ne
ver i.itended for the eye ot the British
Government, and which in no other coiiu
try hut ours, would ever have seen the
light.
The opening of tics negotiation was
the chief diiliculty. To remove it, two
groun is are taKea. it will he remem
bered tii.»t our refusal to accede to the
t» rtns oi the act of Parliament, was made
the ground in refusing to treat with Mr.
Gallatin aiid Mr. Barb mr, both ot whom
went prepared to offer an arrangement
by reciprocal legislation; taking the act
of Parliament as the British legislation.
To obviate the dilficuity, alter a fair and
full h story of the transaction, these sug
gestions are presented to Mr. McLaue to
be pressed so far as ht might dean it use
ful and proper so to do. If the British
persist in refusing to hear you, on this
subject, remind them of the circumstan
ces tint have occurred; of the difference I
of opinion among ourselves on it: of the
aba lJonwent by the administration of :
those pretences that had prevented an ad
justment of it; that they are i ot again to
be brought forward; that the past admin
istration was not amenable to the British
Government, nor any other, than the peo
ple ot ihe United States, who had pass- j
ed updn all their acts. Say to the Brit
ish, if it makes pretensions formerly ad
vanced the pretext for still declining to
ne ' mate, the sensibility of the American
people will be deeply awakened. That
the tone of public feeling, by a course so
unwise and untenable, will be aggravated
th * known fuct that Great Britain had o
peued her colonial ports to lltissia and
France, notwithstanding a similar oniis
sioa o:> iheir parts to accede in time, to
the terms offered by the act of Parlia
ment. And this, Sir, is represented as
the la gunge of entreaty, as the begging
of a boon. This menace of the public
indignation; tins declaration that the late
administration was neither to be censur
ed or praised by foreign nations; was a
inenable for their conduct to no earthly
tribunal but the people of the United
States, is tortured into a claim of privile
ges, on party grounds for party purposes,
and as a disgraceful attempt to throw up
on a previous administration unmerited
disgrace, for the sake of currving favor
with a foreign pow-er, and that power of
all others, Great Britain. Great Britain
could not resist this frank and open and
manly appeal. Committed by their con
cession in favor of France and Russia, At
the Ministry distinctly told by Mr. Mc-
Lane, that he would not remain if they
declined negotiation, or placed their refu-
sal upon my mher ground than an open
Joel atatio i, that their interests could not
per nit tiiein to enter into a reciprocal en
go.a-o. and with the United States, the
lioglis!* Cah-.net reluctantly yielded; and
then . true the most odious feature in this
transaction, that which has sharpened the
intcli ct of the opposition to discover dis
honor in 'ruth, ami a want of dignity, m
a frank exposition of tacts, its crowning
success. Mr. McLane and Mr. Van Bn- i
ret , nudar Gen. Juokson, succeeded in
eff ig an object of public solicitude,
Mr VI tins, and Mr. Clay and 'lr. Gal
la. m an I Mr. Barbour could not obtain.
The. country was humiliated by the pre
cehog administration without success;
hence the charge against Mr. Van Buren;
hence, the overwhelming nnxiely to prove,
that 'be success of the late negotiation
lias been purchased bv humiliation. The
British Cabinet desired not to make the
arrangement; it interfered with great lo
cal 11tercets, and if they could, without a
in i'iif st and unjust distinction to our pre
jn l ee, i!n*v would have declined admit
ting th.: United States to the privileges
gr ii ra f!ie other maritime powers.
N >' • ■■ -fied with his condemnation of
Mr Vii Bui'-.i’s instructions, the Semi

Gallatin w as (ogive a stroi.j* proof of our
Jesire to conciliate by a temporary con-
Icecsio.. of mi.at we uad
ed throughout the whole negocial.uu. j
\Y a. Mr. Gallatin instructed to say to the ;
British Government, this is a temporary j
concession ? JXo Sir, he was authorized to !
wave the claim and make an arrangement
ou die British basis. Put this into plain
i language, aud what was it; strip it of di
plomatic drapery and verbiage, it is nei
ther more nor less than an abandonment
of a pretension which though we had sup- j
ported by argument, we were resolved j
not to enforce by power. Sir, this cover-!
uigitpofa plain truth is the common
trick of diplomacy, it deceives no one, & {
hud Mr. Gallatin presented these concili-!
atory concessions, they must have been,
received as a virtual and total abandon
ment of our pretensions. The honeyed
i words of right, waived from a conciliato
ry spirit, and with this hope of correspon
ding friendly dispositions, would have
been received with a sneer, lurking in the
official—artificial smile of a—thorough
bred diplomatist. The Senator insists
however, it was a right and not n preten
sion. If it was a right, why was it waved !
or surrendered?—Fe>r concilia'ion sake. I
Why, sir, we were the offended party.—
England had taunted us. England hail i
refused once, twice, tliriee to negotiate, A
yet to conciliate England, we were wa
ving a well grounded right. For what j
purpose were wt thus conciliating? To i
place the trade on its present footing, to j
the great injury of the navigation and
commerce of the United States.—Such is j
the view now taken by several honorable '
Senators who have favored us with their
opinion on tins subject. The present j
Administration waived no right for con- !
dilation sake; sacrificed no principle. It
stood upon the truth, and the truth only;
aud whatever may be the custom of oth
ers, and the ordinary usages of diploma
cy, the Administration was right. Na
tions fold themselves in the robes offals*
hood, and swell ami strut in vain—to pre
serve an air of dignity and decorum.
No nation ever was just to its own char
acter, or preserved its dignity, that did
not stand at all times before the world
in the sober and simple garb of truth. Sir,
the character of our diplomacy has un
dergone a marked change; we are no lon
ger pretenders to skill and artifice; all
our wiles are facts and reasons, all our
artifice truth and justice. The Honora
ble Senator tells us that this instuction is
false, or else it proves Mr. V. B. to have
been criminally ignorant of what it was
his duty to know.
How does lie make this appear lie
alleges that Mr. V. B. charged the late
administration with being the first to ad
vance the pretensions it subsequently
abandoned--and this he declares is untrue
the prefenson was set up before the late
administration came into power. Now-
Sir, as I read the paragraph, Mr. T. B.
does not change the late administration
with being the first to advance this pre
tension. The senator Will recollect this
is a letter to Mr. McLane, whose person
al knowledge is appealed to and w ho must
have understood the w riter as alluding to
a fact of general notoriety, the words are
those who first advanced, &c. have
subsequently abandoned. Can any man
mistake the meaning—the meaning per
fectly in accordance with the fact? The
pretension was advanced by the use of
the famous elsewhere in our act of Con
gress. An act known to have been pen
ned by Mr. Adams who had previously
occupied the ground covered by it, in
Ins instructions to Mr. Rush. It was Mr.
Adams who first advanced and abandon
ed this ground - The credit or the odium,
whichever term belongs in justice to the
act attaches to Mr. Adams, and so Mr.
McL. could only have understood it, and
so must the Senator from Kentucky, if
he examines with a desire to understand
it in the spirit of the author. There are
considerations connected with Mr. V. B.
if I deemed it consistent wi'h his honor,
that I could present to those that hear me
that would fail to make a deep impres
sion upon their minds. Bit I ask no re
membrance of his forbearance, no recol
lection of his magnanimity, I appeal to
no one to imitate his mildness and cour
tesy and kindness in bis oeportment here
nor to judge him as he judged his rivals
for fame and power. I demand for him,
nothing but justice—harsh—harsh jus
tice.

Messrs. Clay aud fol
lowing is an extract ot a letter tram
Washington in the N. \. American Ad
! vocatc:
1 must give you an account of the re
markable explanation which in the course
of the speech, took place between Mr.
Clay and the Vice President, relative to
the opinions of the latter as to the con
stitutional objection to the system not
argumentivciy, but historically. It was
he said, an objection of recent origin e
ven the Senator from South Carolina, in
las long and elaborate argument embra
cing the whole subject, forgot that objec
tion, till alter his speech was delivered.
The constitutionally of the tarifi’ w as not
denied he believed, in the celebrated ex
position from the pen ot the distinguished
citizen of South Carolina, who fills the
Chair of this body, dec. Mr Calhoun
rose and said he w as couqielied to remark
in reply to the reference to Ins opinions
that lie considered a tarifi for protection
as unconstitutional. Mr Clay was sorry
to hear if It doubly grieved hiiu as ail
instance of the changeabieiiess of human
nature; for, if he remembered aright the
Chair had expressed no such opinion in
the great debate of 1810, m the other
House. Mr. Calhoun replied, that was
a tarifi* tor revenue, not protection, the
constitutional question was not debated.
No sir rejoined Mr. Clay for it teas nut
then considered debatable.
There must be some mistake in the a
bove statement—or Mr. Calhoun could
scarcely have forgotten the ground lie
took hi 1816. The substance of bis
speech on Mr. Kandilph's motion to
strike out the minimum valuation on cot
ton goods, m April 1810, is now before
us. W e see nothing m it about revenue
—hut all about protection. For in
stance.
Circumstanced as our country, is can
these stand the shock of war? Behold
the effect of the late war on them When
our manufactures are grown to a certain
perfection as they soon will under the fos
tering care of government , we wilt
no longer cxptriei ct those evils.
To give perfection to tins state of things
it will be necessary to -add as soou as pos
sible, a system of Internal Improvements
and at last such an extension of our navy
as Will prevent the cutting off our coas
ting trade' The advantage of each ts so
striking as not to require illustration, es
pecially after the experience of the recent
war. It is thus the resources of this gov
ernment and people would he placed be
yond the power of u foreign war mate
rially to impair.
To this distressing state of things there
are two remedies ami only two, one m
our power immediately, the other requir
ing much time and exertion, hut both con
stituting in his opinion the essential poli
cy of this country he meant the Navv and
domestic manufactures. By the former
we could open the way to our markets;
by the hitter ice bring them from beyond
the. ocean and naturalize them in our own
soil. Had we the means or attaining an
immediate naval ascendancy he acknowl
edged that the policy recommended by
this hill, would be very quest! liable but
as it is not the sact —as is a period remote
with every exertion and will probably be
more so from that relaxation of exertion
so natural in peace when necessity is not
felt, it becomes the duty of the House to
resort to a considerable extent at least so
far as is proposed to the only remedy the
protection oj our manufactures.
Another objection has been made
which he must acknowledge was better
founded that capital < inployinei.t in man
ufacturing produced a greater depen
dence on the part of the employed, than
in commerce, navigation and agricuhurt .
It is certainly an evil, and to be regret
ted; but he did not think it a decisive ob
jection to the system, especially w hen it
had incipently politicial advantages which
in In* opinion, were more than a coun
terpoise to it. It produced an interest
strictly American , as nint h so as agrirul
lure. In this it had the decided advan
tage of commerce or naviagation; and the
country will from it derive much advan
tage. Again; it is calculated to hind to
gether more closely our widely spread
republic. It will greatly increase our
unitu.d dependence and intercourse and
will, as necessary consequence, excite an
increased attention to internal improve
meat a Subject eve'ry way > intimately con
nected with the ultimate attainment of na
tional strength and th< perfection of our
political institutions. He regarded the fact
that it would make the. parts adhere
more closely that it won hi form a now
and most powerful cement, far outweigh
ing any political objections that might he
urged against the system. In his opinion
the liberty and union of this country were
inseparably united.
'Phis was in 1816—Mr. C. maintained
a similer doctrine in 1824—w hen he was
in favor of the protective system-—de

Extraordinary suit in Prance. —Tl;e
P-.ris journals contain at considerable
S'-ngth, ai, account of a process or law •
Cause of the muse singular nature that j
was ever laid before the public. I’. is an
action in nullity of a will —that is, an
action to set aside the will and testament
of the last member of the illustrious House
of Bourbon-Coude, made in favor of a
young Prince of the House of Orleans,
the youngest son of the Duke of that
name, now Lotiis-Philrp, King of the
French. This is the object of the action
in a civil sense; hut in a moral one, it is
ueiiher more nOr less than to accuse the
present King of the French of conniving
with the mistress of the late unhappy old
D*ikc of Bourbon to induce him to make
a will against his own wishes and inten
tions in favor of this youthful branch of
the stem of Orleans. The will is sworn
to have been made under repeated acts of
menace and violence on the part of the
women, hut was no sooner executed, than
the most cutting and painful reflections
followed, and harrowed up the bosom of
the testator. He even mediated and had
planned an escape from the clutches of
his shc-gaoler when somehow or other
he d ! ed. The mistress obtained immense
logac.es aud bequests' The House of
Orleans will enjoy the principal estate
unless the effect of this most important
law-suit be to establish the nullity of the
will, and so to strip the chief of that
house not only of its new and vast acqui
sitions, but of all title to the respect of
mankind.—What may be called the in
culpatory part of the jifocess, is ali that
has appeared yet. The depositions on
the side of the legates have not been heard
nor indeed lias the defence of the will been
opened.
