' Mr, FENNO, IT his lately been alTerted in positive and unqnalifi ed terms, bv a leading member of Congress, " that in cafe the House of Representatives do not think it expe dient to provide for executing the Britifti Treaty, there Svilt be no \t**r." I would ask whether the gqvern ment of Great-Britain has afTured the I J refiderit of the j United States that they will reliriquifh the Posts on our frontiers, withdraw all their gairifons, open the fur v trade to the citizens of the United S:ates, detach itfelf from ail connexion with the Jndian Tribes, make fa ; tisfadlion to our Merchant for their lofTes by liritilh depredations, and refrain from future spoliations, if the Treaty Which has been so solemnly ratified, ihall I not be complied with on our part ? If a negative an lwer is given—l would then aflc, whether the United States will not be obligM to go to war to obtain what we now f® juftty txpeA and claiaa by Treaty ? It ap pears tn me that there is no other alternative; for it is impeffibte for (he government of the United States to % to their Conllituents, you shall neither defend your selves, nor seek fatisfa&irm for the loffcs and injuries you have f'uftained, or may fifTer. The result will molt afluredly be this, that tho' Great-Britain may not declare war against the United States, the United ■ States mull declare war against Great Britain. G.

We broke ground on the evening t>f the 18th, o- 1 pened our batteries on the 23d, and before 12 ' o'clock on Wednesday completed a pra&icable breach. Commodore Bainier and I then thought proper to summon the garrison to surrender, while ' preparations were making for the afiault.

These not being accepted within a limited time, our fire rr-commenced, arul in a few minutes } the white flag ,vas displayed on the "ramparts, the , conditions which we had offered were accepted, ligned, and tranfnrtted to the camp, with two Captains of the garrison as hostages for their perfc>r- ' nance. lam beyond measure indebted to Commodore !

Co 1 never doubted but the framers of the conflitu- cij tion so intended it should be underlined ; and when- th ever it has been a fuhjea of difcuflion, I have ev.er given it that conftrudlion. pe Many members of that convention, of which ° r number I was one, were anxionfly folieitous 10 A have prefcrved to the date sovereignties, a full and «-'n pcrf S eqaality of ftiffiage, (wilich they enjoyed 1 R e under the former confederation, and which 1 lUll! thi think they ought to enjoy) and to have prevented I Le Ptuple Sou-verain from being in any degree a 1 n condiment part of the general government, or that ' 9' the rep>efentation should in any degree be drawn 4 directly from that source., (an.l 'in tkis refpeft also da my sentiments rem lin unaltered, however heretical ' they may be).
