therefore hoped tiiat every person who attends
worship there, will take a pew or make some

LETTER VIH.
To the Right Honorable George Canningy First
Lord of the Trc.asury, &c;
Sir ; In my last letter I gave you an
accouut of the debate-on the resolution
reported by the committee of commerce
in the Senate of the United States. I
did this to show you, that, in referring
to the “debates” in our Congress, to jus
tify your abrupt and unprecedented con
duct in issuing tlie Order in Council of
July last, you not only resorted to a
most irregular mode of arj^unicntalion,
but weie vvholly uninformed of the
state of facts.
I now proceed to the subject of Gen.
Smith’s bill, introduced immediately af
examined) that those acts must havd
been and were understood by us, and
that we knowingly and deliberately re
jected their provisions.
In more particular reply to the para
graph just cited from Mr. Gallatin’s let
ter, you say, (alluding to the Baltimore
petition) that it
“ Prayed ‘ for the removal of the sev
eral restrictioiis imposed by the Ameri
can act of 1823 not of ‘ the discrimina
ting duties” only, but of the prohibi
tions of what is called by Mr. Gallatin
‘circuitous intercourse in British ships.
You then add, that “ it was against
the prayer of this petition that the d^
cision of the American Legislature, at
the close of the session, was taken.”
This, sir, is an important point, and
must pardon my freedom in putting

have also alluded, but, with the ill-ior-
tune which has signalized every other
statement of fact contained in your let
ter, you mistake bolh the character and
the fate of this bill.
1 beg leave to repeat the very impor
tant remark, that in this as in several
other errors which I have pointed out in
your despacth of January, 1827, you
have not only fallen into mistakes of fact,
but it is these mistakes of fact which
you offer to JVlr. Gallatin and to the A-
merican Government, in justification of
the rash policy of breaking up the di
rect intercourse between the British
West Indies and North America.
When, therefore, I minutely point
out these, your errors, it is not merely
the exercise of a close criticism upon
your letter to Mr. Gallatin, although
the tone of that letter destroys your
title to any thing but rigid justice in
construing it. Lat in exposing you-r
errors, I put the British Government
in the wrong, and the American Gov
ernment in the right, in the controver
sy. ’
Now, then, let us look atyour account
of Gen. Smitii’s bill, compared with the
bill itself.
Here 1 must, for the sake of great
clearness, go back to your last letter but
one to Mr. Gallatin, (that of Nov. 13,
182G,) to which I have not before refer
red, havingfound in that of January 27,
quite as much to rectify as my limits
enable me to comprehend.
Toward the close of your letter of
Nov. 13th, 1826. yousay—
“It seems difficult to imagine how
they [the United States] can see it to
be unjust or ut^kind (it ccrtainly is not
so felt or intended on the part of this
country,) that the United States, having
upon a free and (as is known from the
public proceedings of their legislature)
deliberate consideration, declined to
subscribe to the terms on which excep
tion from colonial prohibition was ten
dered impartially to all nations, they

have decided like them'selves, lia
ble to that exclusion, which is and al
ways has been the general principle of
colonial trade.”
A considerable part of Mr. Gallatin's
answer is taken up in showing you thpt
the terms of the acts of Parlian^ent of
June and July, 1825, were hot and could
not have been, for reasons which he
states, untierstood by the American
Government. In allusion to the para
graph, which I have just quoted from
your letter, he remarks as follows : —
“The proposition made during the
last session of Congress, and to which
Mr. Canning has alluded, affords an ad
ditional jiroof of the imperfoct under
ing minuteness of your information ast
to the proceedings of the American Leg
islature, (as you call the Senate of the
United States,) Mr. Gallatin ^vas right
and you are wrong. The bill is shorty

hill .supplementary to an net
to rcij;ulate the commercial intercourse
between the United States and certain,
British Colonial Ports.—Be it enact
ed by the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives of the United States of A-
merica in Congress assembled, That no
other or higher duties of impost or ton
nage, and no other or higher duty of
charge of any kind upon any goods,
wares, or merchandise, imported from thci
following free ports of the British col
onies, viz : Kingston in Jamaica, &.c. in
British ves.sels, of the United States,
(excepting in the ports of Florida) than
upon the vessels of the Unit* d States,
and upon the like goods, wares, or mer-
chandise, imported into the ports of the
United States in the same ; any thing in
the third section of the act to which thiil
is supplementary, dated 1st March,
1823, to the contrary notwithstanding.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted,
that this act shall be in force from and
after i.he 30th day of June next. Pro^
vided nererthelcs.'iy that, upon satisfac
tory evidence being given to the Presi
dent of the United States, that any dis-
scriminating duties of tonnage or
impost are levied in cither of the ports
aforesaid, upon-^vessels wholly belong
ing to the citizens of the United States,
or upon merchandise the produce or
manufacture thereof, imported in tho-
same, the President is thereby authoriz
ed to issue his proclamation declaring
the fact ; whereupon this act shall bo
suspended and discontinued, so far as it
respects the ports or places in which
such discriminating duties are imposed
or levied.”
This is the whole of the act, with tho
exccj)tion of the names of the ports, o-
niitted for brevity. It follows, there
fore,
1st. That Mr. Gallatin wasVight in
asserting, and you wrong in confradict-
ting his assertion, that the proposi
tion in the Senate was for the repeal
of the discriminating duties only, and
2nd. It is now clear as day, that the
provisions of the acts of Parliament of
.Itme and July, 182.% were not under
stood here, inasmuch as this bill oi Gen.
Smith, avowedly drawn by him to meet
those provisions—by Gen. Smith, who
took credit to himself then and since for

others did not—a bill to wiiich you ri^n-
