2527. EMBARGO, Authority to suspend.—[continued].

If they repeal their orders,
we must repeal our Embargo. If they
make satisfaction for the Chesapeake, we must
revoke our proclamation and generalize its
operation by a law. If they keep up impressments,
we must adhere to non-intercourse,
manufacturer's and a navigation act.—
To James Madison. Washington ed. v, 361. Ford ed., ix, 208.
(M. Sep. 1808)
