ISY THE JOHN ADAMS. f Can i nncd J My attention is ncccfiarily called to another part of the fame para;;n.ph, v. hieh immediately follows die quotation already made. k As f. joii, (Ta s your excellency) :is iu inajdly w:" informed of tliis Ilieafuic (die iion-iutcrcaurle law it became his duty to retaliate upon the American v -1 1 1 : -, not only V i! hill hi own ttr; itork s, !)ut alio x i t ' i n ti ic cotriti ?jj;drr ids inI.i t!" p'.rts (,f Ij!!and, :-: !'. and Ni: h-v, tin- Auk

The firft of thefe fnbjcclshs I)ecn already examined ; and the second mult be decided like the firft, fincehis majelly's rights with ; in the limits of his ally cannot be greater than within his own. II then it has been fliewn, that the non-interconrfe law was merely defenfive in its object ; that it wis but intended to guard agamll tt flate of violence which unhappily

prevailed ; that it was reUricled'H

its operation to the territory of the U. States, & that it was duly promulgated there and in Europe before execution. It will be almofl iinneceHary to repeat, that a law of such defcription cannot authorife a meafure of reprifalv equally fudden and filent in its enatlment and application, founded on no previous wrong, productive of no previous complaint, and operating yond the limits of his majelly 2i territories, and within thofc of fovereigns, who had even invited the commerce of the United States to their ports. It is therefore the third fubjecl only, the reason of the right which remains to be examined ; ; with regard to it I may obferve, that if the alledged fadl which forms this reafon be unfounded, the reafon itfelf fails, and the right with it In this view of the buiinefs I may be permitted to enquire, when and where any feizure of a French yeffel has taken place under the nonintercourfe law ? and at the fame time to exprefs my firft pcrfualion, that no fuch feizure has, been made ; a nerfualion founded alike on the lilence of the governrcieiit and of the journals of the country, and ill 11 more on the pofitive declaration of fevcral well informed and refpeflablc perfons who ii ive left America late asthe 2fith of December laft. My conelufion therefore is -that hoJb vellll having violated the law, no

seizure of fuch vcfiel has occurred, and that the report which has readied Paris, is probably founded on a fubject altogether unconnected with the non-intercourfe law or its operation. Though far from wifhing to prolong this letter, I cannot eloie it without remarking the great and Midden change wrought in his maj (.fty's fentiments with regard to die defeniive fyllem adopted by the u. States. The law. which is now believed to furnilii frround for rcprifal, uasfn ll communicated to h. nyijeily in June or July lait, and ci rtaimy did not then excite any ftiJpicion, or kelin:; uniriendiy to rlie American government. Far bom this,- its communication was

immediately followed by oertures of accommodation, v. Inch ti;o':?!i

governed, and which fnould contiiHie to govern his majcy's pojicy in relation to the U. States, in this we do not find the flighted trace of complaint againit the provifions of the law in quedion. At a period later than the 22d of Aug. an American Ihip dellined to a port of Spain, was captured by a French privateer. An appeal was made to his majefty's minilter of war, who having fubmitted the cafe received orders to liberate all Amcrican vellels dellined to Spajiilb ports, which had not violated the imperial decrees. Another American fhip atT point of time ddl later than the capture of the preceding was brot'

Uhio the port of Bayonne, but ha

ving violated no law ot his majedy was acquitted by his council of prizes; and.Iadly In the long converfation I had the honor of holding: with your excellency on the 25th of January, no idea of reprifdl was maintained by you, nor fufpe6tecl-by-me fttit on the contrary, in fpeakirig oFtle seizure of American property m Spain, you exprefsly declared tliu it was not a confifcatiou. ' Can proofs be more conclufive, that from the fird promulgation of the law down to the 25th of January lad, nothing in the nature of reprifal was contemplated by his majedy ? V What circumdance may' have fincc occurred to produce a change in his opinion, I know not; but the confidence I feel in the open and loyal policy of his majedy, altogether excludes the idea, that the rule was merely found for the occafion, and made to juftify feizures not otherwife judicable.- I pray your excellency to accept, See (Signed) John Armstrong
