As the time is fast approaching when

the Great Battle is to be sought, the

issue of which must decide the f.tto of'

those happy measures, the support of

which has so nobly distinguished the pre

sent administration whether they aretobecarrried to a triumphant close, or to

have substituted in their stead the visionary schemes and mad projects of aset of ambitious and designing men, wedeem it a duty which we are most impe-

riously called upon to perforin, to addressIthe patrons and friends of the Gazettc,'ontheir position at the present conjunctureof our affairs.

The truth, however disagreeable, mustbe told, we stand in a wuful disparity in

point of advantage with our Whig political opponents. This is the more to be

lamented from the peculiar situation of

lour party in this section of the country.

Hemmed in by a numerically superiorforce our every movement watched and

trumpeted forth by u vigilant and freMfluently published press having in our

fnefghbourhood the residence of that po

litical Heresiarch, of whose influenceand great ability it were superfluous to

speak, and thereby being placed, as it

were in the focus of action, these we say,and other circumstances, loudly demand

,that some energetic measures should he

immediately adopted in order to sustainlour interests as Republicans, and that o'

the country generally.Now we presume it is almost unne- -

Icessarv to remind our readers of a fact,

which must be known to them all. It is,that the most powerful and formidable

engine, that can be brought to bear in a

warfare for principles, for men andmeasuVes, is the Public Press, and conse"quently that a want of such an auxiliary

niust weigh lieavily on an onward careerto victory.' The slightest reflection will

convince all that such is our case. Al-

most destitute of such an organ, or atJeast ooniirnoil tn.o.no of such small ca- -

'Jtibre that Us report is lost amidst the ftui- -

ilerofiwo semi-weekl- mammoths, which.regularly discharge their deleterious con-

sents overthe town and adjoining country,

"we stand exposed with means quite inad

equate to the full and successful vindi-

cation of our cause. In sttrh art tinequ-.a- l

conflict what can we do? Must notjail see that our efforts arc paralyzed,and the fruits of our labor comparatively

.nothing, that to meet those pioneers with,any chance of success, we must be plac-c- d

on an equal footing?- - This is all wo

.ask. Give us. fair play. Extend a little

'.more patronage, so that we can issue theGazette twice a week and we pledge our- -

1 .selves to be wanting in nothing that zealf and attention can supply. This more

frequent publication will necos-saril- be' itittended wiih considerable additional ex

pense ; but is our cause bo worth contend-

ing for, who will say that it is not wortha little more expenditure? Besides, our

readers will find themselves amply re-

paid by the miscellaneous articles which

our present contracted limits render usunable to afford them.

Wq therefore call upon our supportersas they value the interest of their party,for an increase of patronage, and a punctuality o payment, without which t.,Rusefulness of the Gazette cannot be sustained.

The subscription for the semi-week- ly

Gazette will be Four Dollars in advance,or a note upon subscribing for $5 paya-ble at the end of the year.

Our present subscribers, who havepaid $2,50 will advance the farther sumof $1,50.

Able editorial assistance is expected.DANL. BRADFORD.

Department of State.Washington, 3d February, 1830.

The undersigned, Secretar of 'Stateof ihe United States, has had the honorto receive the note of thc27th ultinio, o"

Mr. Charles Bankhead, his BritannicMajesty's Charge d'Affaires, offering tothe .Government ot the United States themediation of his Britannic Majesty's Governmenl for thu settlement of the differences unhappily existing between theUnited atates and 1 ranee. That communication having been submitted to thoPresident, and considered with all thecare belonging to the importance of thesubject and the source from which it cmanated, tho undersigned has been in-

structed to assure Mr. Bankhead that thedisinterested and honorable motives whichhave dictated the proposal are sully ap-

preciated. The pacific policy of his Bri-

tannic Majesty's Cabinet, and their efsorts to heal dissent ions arisinrr amonjinations, are worthy of the character andcommanding influence of Great Britain;and the success of those efforts is as honorable to the Government, Iiv who?n instrutneTitality it was secured, as it hasbeen beneficial to the parties more im-

mediately interested, and to the world atlarge.

The sentiments upon which this policyis sounded, and which are so forcibly dis

played in tho offer that has been made,are deeply impressed upon the mind of thePresident. They are congenial with theinstitutions and principles, as well as.vim niu mieiesis ana naous, ot me peopie of the United States; and it has-bee- n

the constant aim of their' Government,in its conduct towards other powers, toobserve and illustrate them. Cordially-approvin- g

the general views of his Bri-tannic Majesty's Government, the Presi-dent regards with peculiar satisfactionthe enlightened and disinterested solicitude manifested by it, for the welfare ofthe nations to whom its ood offices arenow tenderedfttnd has seen with arcat..... . ", .sunsiuiiiiy, m me cxnioition ot that teel- -

ing, the recognition of that community ofiinterests, am those ties ot kindred, bywhich the Unjted.States and Great Britain are unjted.

Is circumstances did not render it certain, it would have been .obvious from thelanguage ofMrjBankhead's note to theundersigned, tlf-'-t the Government of hisBritannic Majesty, when the instruc-- itions under which it was prepared were!given, couiu, not haye been apprised otall the steps takun in the. controversy between thcunited btates.and France. Itwas necessanly-Jgnuran- t of the tenor ofime nu ruueiiL inus'saces oi tne i. resident to Congress the first communicatedat the cdmmencement of-- the present ses-sion, under date of the 7th of December,1835, and --the second under that of the15l!i of January,. 1838. Could thesedocuments have been within the knowledge of his Britannic Majesty's Government, the President does not doubt thatit would have "been sully satisfied thatthe disposition the United Slates, notwithstanding their well grounded and

complaint against France.to restore tnendly relations and cultivatea good understanding with the Government of that country, was undiminished,and that all had already been done, ontheir part, mat could in reason be expected of them) to secure that result.The first of these documents, although it.'iive such a history of the origin and progress of the claims ot the United States,and of the proceedings of France beforeand since the treaty of 1831, as to vindicate the statements and recommendations of the. message of the first of December, 1834', yet expressly disclaimedthe offensive interpretation put upon itby the Govcrnmentof France: and whilet insisted on. th? acknowledged rights of

the United States, and maintained thehonor and" independence of the American Government, evinced an anxious desire todoffl that constitutional duty andstrict jijstiqey would permit, to removeevery cuuse of irritation and excitement.I he special-messag- of the 15th January last, bejng called for by the extraor- -

i.iary and inadmissible demands ot theGovernment of France, as defined in thetst official communications at Pans, and

by the ctinHriued relusal of France to execute a tre.ily,froin the faithful perform-ance of wlfidr by the United States itwas tranquilly enjoying important ad-

vantages, it became the duty. of the Prc- -siijejit to. recommend such measures asmight be adapted to the exigencies of theoccasion. Unwilling to believe that anation distinguished for honor and intelligence could have determined perma-nently to maintain a ground so indefen-sible, and anxious still to leave open thedoor of reconciliation, the President contented hmjsejf with proposing to Con-gros- s,

themijdost of the remedies givenby the law and practice of nations; inconnection wijh such propositions for de-

fence as were evidently required by thecondition of the United States, and theattitude assumed bv France. In all theseproceedings, as well as in every stn,ge ofthes,e difficulties with France, it is confidently believed that the course of theUnited States, when duly considered byother Governments, and the world, willbe sound to have been marked, not onlyby a pacific disposition, but bv a spirit offorbearance and conciliation.

For a further illustration of this point,as well for the purpose of presenting aucid view of the whole subject, the un

dersigned has the honor to transmit toMr. Bankhead, copies of all that part ofthe message ol December 7th, 1835,which relateato it, and of the correspondence referred to therein-- ; and also copies of the message and accompanyingdocuments of the 15th of January, 1836;and ot another rnessage of the 18th of

the same month, transmitting a report ofthe feecretarv ot State, and certain documents cdfinecle'd with.the subject.

these papers, while they bringdowntho history 5ftie misunderstanding between the United States and France tothe piosentulatt!, will also remove anerroneous impression which appears tobe entertained by Ills Britannic Majestvs uovernment. it is suggested inMr. Bankhead's note that there is noquestion of national interest at issue be;tween France and the United States; andthat there is no demand of justice madeby the one party nd denied by the other, i ins suggestion appears to ue louna-e- d

on the facts, that the claims of theState's, have admitted by a treaty

concluded between the two Govern-ments, and that the money due by Francehas been provided by the Chambers, andplaced at the disposal of the FrenchGovernment for the purpose of beingpaid to the United States. But it is to beobserved, 'that the payment of the moneythus appropriated, is refused by theFrench Government, unless the UnitedStates will first comply with a conditionnot contained in the treaty, and not as-

sented to by them. This refusal to makepayment, is in the view of the UnitedStates, a denial of justice; andhas notonly been accompanied by acts and lan-

guage of which, they have great reasonto complain, but the delay of payment is

highly injurious to those American citi- -zens who are entitled to share in the in- -

demnification provided by the treaty, andto the interests of the United States; in- -

,asmuchas the reduction of the dutieslevied on French wines, in persuance ofmat treaty, has diminished the publicrevenue, and has been, and yet is, enjoy- -eu uy l'rancc, with all the other benefitsof the treaty, without the considerationand equivalents for which they weregranted. But there are other nationalinterests, and in the judgement of thisGovernment, national interests of thehigher order involved in the conditionprescribed, and insisted on hv Fmncn.' .. . . '- - 7 - 'which it has been, by the President,made the duty of the undersigned toonng distinctly into view. The cond-

ition proceeds on, the assumption that aforeign power, whose acts are spoken ofDy the 1'resident of the United States ina message to Congress, transmitted inobedience to his constitutional duties,and which deems itself aggrieved by thelanguage thus held by him, may, as amatter of right, require from the Govern-ment of the United States a direct officialexplanation of such language, to be giv-en in such form, and expressed in suchterms, as shall meet the requirements,and satisfy the feelings of the offendedparty, and may, in default of such ex-

planation, annul or suspend a solemntreaty duiy executed by its constitutionalorgan. Whatever may be the responsi-ilit- y

of those nations whose Executivespossess the power of declaring war, andof adopting other coercive remedieswithout the invention of the legislativedepartment, for the language held by theExecutive in addressing that department,it is obvious that under the constitutionof the United States, which gives to theExecutive no such powers, bnt veststhem exclusively in the legislature,while at the same time it imposes on theExecutive the duty of laying before thelegislature the state of the nation, withsuch recommendations as he may deemproper, no such responsibility can be admitted without impairing that freedom ofintercommunication which is essential tothe system, and without surrendering, inthis important particular, the right of selfgovernment. In accordance with thisview of the federal constitution, it hasbeen the practice under it. The state-ments and recommendations of thejPre-siden- t

to Congress are regarded oythisGovernment as a part of the purely do-

mestic consultations held by its differentdepartments, consultations in which noth-ing is addressed to foreign powers, andin which they cannot be permitted to in-

terfere, and for which, until consummat-ed and carried out by acts emanatingfrom the proper constitutional organs,the nation is not responsible and theGovernment not liable to account to otherStates.

It will be seen from the accompanying correspondence, thafwhen the con-dition referred to was first proposed inthe Chamber of Deputies, the insuper-able objections to it were sully commu-nicated by the American minister atParis, to the French Government; andthat he distinctly informed it, that thecondition, is prescribed, could never becomplied with. The views expressedby him were approved by the President,and have been since twice asserted andenforced by him in his message to Con-

gress, in terms proportioned, in theirand solemnity, to the convic-

tion he entertains of the importance andinviolability of the principle involved.

The United States cannot yield thisprinciple, nor can they do, or consent toany measure, by which its influence inthe action of their political system canbe obstructed or diminished. Underthese circumstances, the President feelsthat he may rely on the intellige nee andliberality of his Britannic Majesty's Go-

vernment, for a correct estimation of theimperative obligations which leave himno power to subject this point to the con-trol of any foreign state, whatever maybe his confidence in its justice and im-

partiality a confidence which he hastaken pleasure in instructing the undersigned to state is sully reposed by himin the Government of his Britannic Majesty.

So great, however, isthe desire of thePresident for the restoration of a good un-

derstanding with the Government ofFrance, provided it can be effected onterms compatible with the honor and in-

dependence of the' United States; thatis aster the frank avowal of his sentiments'upon the point.last referedto, and the ex-

plicit reservation of that point, the Gov-

ernment of his Britanic Majesty shall be-

lieve that its mediation can be useful in

adjusting the differences which exist be-

tween the two countries, and in restoringall their relations to a friendly footing,ho instructs the undersigned to informMr. Bankhead, that in such case, the of-

fer of mediation made in his note, ischeerfully accepted.

Influenced by these motives, the Pre-

sident will cordially co operate so far ashis constitutional powers may enablehim, in such steps as may be requisite!on the part of the United States, to giveeffect to the proposed mediation. Hetrusts that no unnecessary delay will beiallowed to occur, and instructs the under-signed to request, that the earliest infor-

mation of the measures taken by GreatBritain, and of their result, may be com-

municated to this Government.The undersigned avails himself of the

occasion, to renew to Mr. Bankhead theassurances of his distinguished consider-

ation. JOHN FORSYTH.
