What would the agriculturists of tlie West and Southwest, and the manufacturing and commercial People of the middle and I'asiern districts of the Union, say in this case, and in the contingency stated r And who would oppose a proceeding so necessary to the “general welfare,” if not even to a preservation of the confed eracy, in keeping all its parts linked to gether ?

It is unfair in argument, it is said, to suppose extreme cases, i. e such cases as are never likely to occur. But when th argument turns upon the validity or in validity of any assumed principle^ it is le gitimate to suppose an extreme case to lest the principle: for, unless it wi quadiale with every possible case, it must be false.

I'o the Right Honorable George Canning, First Lord of the Treasury, ike: Sir : I have now gone throuj^h with every t;»et, relative to the proceetlino;.s ill Con2;ress, stated in your letter of 27th .lanuary, by way of showing that the con ditions of the act cf Parliament of 1825, were understood in this country, and heinp; understood, were, at the first ses sion of the 19th Congress, deliberately lejected. 'l have shown that, in respect to every one of these alle,t;ed facts, you have fal len into error. I have done this with a minuteness which, perhaps, may have been tiresome to you. But having seen your extreme accuracy of informalio:! in the details of foreign affairs lauded in tho English newspapers, 1 own I was 3d. The British Minister here is unadvised h’f his frovemmeni of any intention to close the colon ial ports affatnst mir vessels—and 4ih. No information has been received hero from any British colonial port, eiccpt Halifax* of such intention.” This letter of Mr. Clay w.is published in the American newspapers. A copy of it was furnished to Mr. Vaughan, which he was understood to have trans mitted to his government. It was also speedily communicated to the local au thorities at Ifaiifax. Halifax was the only British colonial port where any such construction was put on the acts of July, 1825. Shortly after the (’ouncil at Halifax promulgat ed its onler, the aulhoritiesof the neighs borinj; province of St. Andrews decided, that “United States vessels w'ill be ad mitted to entry at the port of St. An drews, suhsequent to the 5th inst. ‘tinder the acts of trade passed hi/ the British somewhat curious t6 show, (as \ rarhomenty until an order Irom his I have done, to your conviction.) that I Majcstv m Council issued to the contra- in every one of the eighteen or twenty ry.

It is to this state of things that Mr. ! Gallatin (by particular instructions) al ludes, in the following manner, in hia letter of December 28, 1826 : “That opinion [that the act of July, 182J, was not intended to affect the United States) W.1S corroborated by the construction ultimate ly put on the act by the British authorities. It was thereby provided that certain privilege J prranted to foreign ships could be limited to tho ships of those countries which should comply with the conditions therein stated, unless hi’tf Majesty, by his Order in Council should in any case grant such privileges, although the condi tions had not been ^ erformed. And the act was declart d to come in full force and opera- tion, from the 5th January, 1826. It had at first been determined at Halilax, that the port should accordingly be shut against American vessels after that day. 'I'iiis lecision was af terwards revoked, although the condition had were not understood in this country. 1 would counsel you, hereafter, whenever you may be concerned in a negotiation with the American Government, to ad mit, even for the sake of courtesy, that its official statements, as to its own un derstanding of things, is correct. Or, if you must, perforce, accuse it of false hood, then follow the advice of Lord Mansfield, as rej'Orted by Dugald Stew art, to “beware of giving the reasons of your impressions.” i shall now notice the manner in which you reply to Mr. Gallatin’s remark rela tive to the shutting of the port of Mali-1 fax.
