To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On this ground then no just cause of war exists. With respect to the orders in council, the second alleged cause for war, it has always excited my sur- prise, that the good sense of the American people has not perceived the ground on which they rest. They will not take the trouble to investigate until a pres- sure of calamities compels them to take care of them- selves. We profess to be a fair neutral. Admit that our actions corresponded with our professions, and it is necessary to inquire, why... the administration did not take due notice of the Berlin decree, issued by the emperor of France. It is insulting to our understand- ings to contend that Mr. Armstrong's letter to the minister of marine comes within that description. The answer of the minister is explicit only in one point; and that is in referring Mr. Armstrong to Mr. Talleyrand; but a long time elapsed before the reference was resorted to. The minister and the go- vernment, alike criminal, rested satisfied with an unmeaning explanation of an ojfficer who candidly declared that the information required was exclu- sively within the province of the minister of foreign relations: knowing too that the French decree was in full force, and that it deprived our country of its ac- customed trade to Great Britain.
