TIMORE FEDERAL REPUELICANt • JULY 27.] WITH MR. FO.ITER. It is at length ascertained, through the Intern. gelicer (we may say officially) that Mr. Foster's ne gotiation has terminated in the manner which evert intelligent politician, both sides the water, must have anticipated. Our Readers will recollect, that long anterior, and subsequent to the Miniiter's arrival, the opinion has been uniformly maintained in this Journal, that no terms which England could offer, consistent with her own honour and security, would be acceded to by the Executive. The idle tales circulated at vari ous periods, and under the most specious forms, of Colonel Monroe's amicable and pacific temper tOb, wards England, have constantly been regarded as mere stale tricks to dupe and mislead the credulous and unwary. The sacrifices of consistency and principle readily assented to by that gentleman, the interview at Monticello which preceded and led to his •promotion, and his verbal and written declara tions of an unqualified approval of Mr. Madison's system, left no room to doubt his determination to co-operate cordially in the established system of hostility to England, and partiality for France. The conductors of some Gazettes were artfully impreg nated with the absurd notions, which it suited the jugglers of Washington to disseminate through their local agents and retained missionaries ; and in spite of the strongest concurrent circum stances they have insisted on the probability of a favourable termination to the new mission, and the equal improbability of a rupture with Mr. Foster. Such an idea being exclusively meant to subserve electioneering purposes while it was resisted by past events, and the actual state of things notoriously existing, it was to be presumed, that independent, sagacious journalists, would not be induced to lend themselves to the sinister views of men, who have never failed to deceive and disap point all who reposed confidence in their veracity and honourable intentions. We will merely say, that a becoming expectation has been formed, that the experience now gained will prevent a repetition of those idle and absurd Speculations, which answer no other purpose by their propagation than to en courage a recurrence by those who originate ahem, to the arts of fraud and deception. It appears by the 'official Gazette of Government, that the preliminary points upon which the rupture has taken place, are the Orders in Council and the English blockade of May 1806, whilst it admitted that Mr. Foster . had removed the obstacle in the way of adjustment created by that . blockade. Let us examine the views of our Government with regard to this blockade, entertained before the promulgittion of the false ,proclamation, the conse quent Non-Importation Act, and Serrurier's fatal Embassy. We shall findolvat until lately, a con struction,was given to that measure, and a version adopted„lno ways presenting what has since resulted in, an insuperable obstacle to an adjustment.
