All this and much more will be said and with a
boldness and confidence of assertion proportioned
to its want of truth
The arrangement with Mr. Erskine, in 1809.
will be again called up, and Its rejection charg
ed afresh, impudently by some, ignorantly by
most, to the perfidy of the British government :
when that whole transaction an its result are tol
be ascribedjto the juggling, misconduct and bad
taith ol.our own. I speak this without reserve
become ihe public documents themselves au
thorisc the inference. To go into details on that
subject would here be improper. I will only
observe, that the word arrangement (of which
our government seem peculiarity fond) when ap
plied to the settlement of differences, means an
agreement, and an agreement between nation is
a treaty, which may b more, or less formal.-'
Now no man knows better than Mr. Madison
that in order to make a valid: treaty, the minister
wno concludes, it ought to be furnished by his
government with specific powers or instructions
tor that-purrseVndJf-suchniiterolTerm
to treat, does not produce his powers or mstruc
lions, it is the duty ofthe government to which
he makes the offer to demand themi and should
he refuse to exhibit them, no government acting
wup ptuaence and goodjaitn would treat with him.
But 3jlr Madison 'did treaty with Mr. Erskine,
ahd make an " arrano-ement relati.e to rhe at.

the British orders in council, without knowing,

The Court paper bas admitted the letter to be
genuine,' and the transfationn official, y

both 'by an unnamed gentleman in Baltimore, un
der the president's directions, and by the secrets

press purpose, out that in both instances he pe
reroptorily refused to take it back.
It has admitted, that hereupon he was written
to by the secretary of state to come to Washings
ton, and that he contemptuously declined taking
any notice whatever 6f the request. ' .
It has admutMd that Mr. De Cabre, first secret
tsry of the legation, informed one of the miuis
teja of the prestdent'that it had been well consi ...
dered, and was approved-by all the legation, that
it had been enrolled in the ministerial archives,
that copies had been sent to France, and that it
could not be taken back.
Theonly remaining difference between us is
