Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Reflections Upon the Late Correspondence Between Mr. Secretary Smith, and Francis James Jackson, Esq.: Minister Plenipotentiary of His Britannic Majesty
Upon examining the correspondence between the diplo matick functionaries of the two governments, there is not a man in the country who, bearing in mind the cause of dis missal originally avowed, will not be able promptly andt'cor rectly to decide upon its merits. While the letters of the british minister are to be admired for their energy of style and elegance of diction, they are plain and intelligible and well adapted to the meanest capacity. All classes of citizens may peruse them with a perfect confidence of thoroughly comprehending the subjects to which they relate, so far as the mysterious policy and oblique views of this government are susceptible of explanation. If, after a scrupulous and minute examination of the documents appertaining to mr. Jackson's dismissal, the dark sinuosities of our cabinet's politicks are not glaringly exposed, it will be ascribable to the reader's blindness or stupidity, not the awkwardness of the diplomatist.
