TO EDMUND RANDOLPH.

MAD. MSS.
Princeton, Sepr. 20, 1783.

Dear Sir,—I have nothing to add to my last on the
subject of foreign affairs, further than that the Court
of France has fixed on L'Orient as a free port for the
U. S. The Virga Cession underwent a decision of
Congs a day or two after my last. The form which
they have given it may be seen in the hands of the
Executive. I sincerely hope it may meet the
ultimatum of Virga. The circumstances which produced
brevity in my last as strongly recommended it
at present.

Adieu.
