" Our government having demanded of Great Britain, the revocation of her blockading orders prior to the Berlin decree, and particularly that of May, J 806, as a condition of renewing commercial intercourse with that nation, but without success ; it became an object with Mr. Madison to adjust, if possible, his difficulties with France. The style and temper in which the correspondence in relation to France were essentially different from that which regarded Great Britain. With the latter it was p...eremp- tory, and dogmatical. With the former it was in the language of great moderation, not to say of humility and Bubmission. It has been seen by one of the foregoing extracts, that having insisted, in the first place, upon the revocation of the blockading order of 3Iay, 1806, our government had advanced a step further, and claimed that the repeal ought to inclr. De the whole system of paper blockades. On the 26th of July, 1811, Mr. Monroe, Secretary of State, addressed a letter to Joel Barlow, who had been ap- pointed minister to France, from which the following ex- tracts are made — After referring to the events which had occurred respecting the revocation of the French decrees, and the issuing of the President's proclamation, suspend- ing the non-intercourse law as it regarded France, it is said — HARTFORD CONVENTION.
