been persuaded that the honourable Reparation which he had caused
to be tendered for the unauthorized attack upon the American Frigate
Chesapeake, would be accepted by the Government of the United
States, in the same Spirit of conciliation, with which it was proposed,
has instructed me, to express His Satisfaction, should such a happy
Termination of that affair take Place—not only as having removed
a painful cause of Difference, but as affording a fair Prospect of a
complete and cordial understanding, being reestablished between the
two Countries. In consequence of the Acceptance by the President, as stated in
your Letter, dated the 18th Instant, of the Proposals, made by me
on the Part of His Majesty, in my Letter of the same Day, for the
Renewal of the Intercourse between the respective Countries, I am
authorized to declare, that His Majesty's orders in Council of January
and November, 1807, will have been withdrawn as respects the United
States on the 10th Day of June next. Dr Sir I return your Copy of Gideon's Edition of the Federalist,
with the memorandums requested in your note of the 16th. I shall
take a pleasure in adding any other circumstances which you may
wish to know, and I may be able to communicate. Sir I have duly recd. your letter of the 15th. inst. with the handsome
copy of your edition of the "Federalist." As this replaces the Copy
sent you, there is the less occasion for a return of the latter. It may
be proper perhaps to observe that it is not the [only] one containing
the names of the writers Correctly prefixed to their respective papers.
I had a considerable time ago, at the request of particular friends,
given the same advantage to their copies. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
