On the 10th Day of january last. His Ila Jesty Tho King of the neither hands delivered to the a Leipo Enli Aries of the United states and of great Britain his written opinion on the Case referred to him. The papers in rela. Tion to the subject will to communicated by a special message to to proper Branch of Tho government with Tho be Feci Confidence that its Wisdom will adopt Sitch measures As will secure an amicable settlement of the controversy without infringing any constitutional right of Tho states immediately interested. It affords to satisfaction to inform you that Susji Estinos made by my direction to tie charge d Ait Aires of his Britanik majesty to this government Havo had their desired of text in producing Tho Relief of certain american citizens who Wero imprisoned for setting up Tho authority of the state of Mainc Ata Plano in the disputed Tho actual jurisdiction of his Britanik majesty. From this and Iho assurances i Havo received of the desire of Tho local authorities to avoid any collision i have Tho Best Hopes that Gomi understanding will to kept up until it is confirm tend by Tho final disposition of Tho subject. Tho amicable relations which no sub set Between the United states and great Britain Tho increasing into Courso to tween their citizens Atid Trio rapid Bollt a minion of unfriendly Prev Odiseos to which former rents naturally Gaverish it a once a. Roil to present this As a fit period for re nothing Nur endeavours to pro Ido against the Mccurn jilt a of Causio of which in the event of War Between great Britain and any other Power would inevitably endanger our Peaco. Animated by the sincerest desire to avoid such a Stato of things and peacefully to Securo under ill possible circumstances the rights and Honor of the countr it 1 have Given such instructions to the minister lately sent to the court of i Endon As Ivill evince that desire Ond if met by a correspondent disposition which to cannot doubt will put id to causes of collision which Wilh Dvan Lago to Eitnier tend to estrange from each other two nations who Havee by motive to preserve not Only peace jut on Intercourse of the most amicable Lalure. In my message at the opening of the ast session of Congress i expressed o confident Hope that the Justice of our France urged As they were Wilh perseverance and Vignol ability by minister there would finally be acknowledged. This Hope has been realized. A treaty has been signed which will immediately be Laid before the Senate for its and which containing Sli Pullions that require legislative acts must have the concurrence of both houses before it can he carried Inlo of incl. By in the French government engage to pay a sum which if not quite equal to Ibi it which May be found due to our citizens will yet it is believed under All circumstances to deemed Salis factory to those the outer Ofa Gross sum in Alisa action of each Wadi Viii accepted because the Only vere a rigorous exaction of inner cited. Slead of the Al claim a alternatives Iho whole an Itald to be due on each claim which might in some instances be exaggerated by design in others overrated through error which therefore in would have been both ungracious and unjust to have insisted on or a settlement by commission to which the French negotiators were very averse and which experience in other cases had shown to be dilatory and often wholly inadequate to the end. A comparatively Small sum is stipulated on our part to go to the extinction of All claims by French citizens on our government Anda a Jjo action of duty on our Coloa Ond their has been a Graedon Asa considerations for Tho rerun tuition of an important claim for do mrabet i priv Leges under Tho they gave to Tho treaty for the cession of Louisiana. Should this treaty receive sanely on a source of irritation will lie stopped that has for so Many year via some degree alienated from each other two nations who from interest As Well As the remembrance of Early associations ought to cherish the most Friendly relations and encouragement will be Given for perseverance in Tho demands of Justice by this new proof that if steadily pursued they will be listened loan admonition will be of cred , if any which May be inclined to evade item that they will never be abandoned. Above All a just Confidence will be inspired in our fellow Eil Zens that their government will exert All the Powers with which they have invested it in support of their just claims upon foreign nations at the same time that Tho Frank acknowledgement and provision for the payment of those which were addressed to our equity although unsupported by Legal proof affair is a practical illustration of aur submission to life Irvine Rule of doing to others what we desire hey should do unto us. Sweden and Denmark having Quot nude compensation for the irregularities committed by their vessels or in their Perls to the perfect satisfaction of Tho parties concerned and having renewed Iho treaties of Commerce entered into with them our political and commercial relations with Thoss Powers continue to be on the most Friendly footing. With Spain our differences up to the 22dof february 1819, were settled by Tho treaty of washing Tony Flat Dale but at Ash sequent period Hurcom Rearce Wilh the states formerly colonist of Spain on the continent of Arao Rioa was annoyed and frequently interrupted by her Public and private armed ships they captured Many of our vessels prosecuting a lawful Commerce and sold Thoro and their cargoes and at one time to our demands for he Stom Tion and indemnity opposed Tho allegation that they wore taken in fhe violation of a blockade of All the ports of those states this blockade was declaratory Only and Tho Inadequacy of the Force to maintain it was Manifest that this allegation Ivas varied to a charge of Trade in contraband of War. This in its turn. Was also found untenable and Tho minister whom i a ont with instructions to press for Tho reparation that was duo to our injured fellow citizens has trans melted an answer to his demand by which Tho captures Are declared to have been regal and Aro justified Licau Jollio indo Pend no of Tho Stales of America never having been acknowledged by Spain she had a right to prohibit Trade with them under her old colonial Laws. This ground of Tho do Fonee was contradictory not Only to those which had been formerly Allerd hut to the uniform Pri Clico and established Lawa of nation and had been abandoned by Spain Lonoff in the of invention which granted Lido Unity to. British Sab ecu for capture Nade at be Samo time under the same dry him glances and by Tho same allegations with those of which Ivo complain i however indulge the Hope that further reflection will Lead to other views Ami feel confident that when his Catholic i Jesty shall to convinced of the Justice of the claim his desire to preserve Friendly relations by Tweedi Tho two countries which it is my Earnest Endeavor to maintain will induce him to accede to our demand. I have therefore despatched a special messenger with instructions to our minister to bring the Case once More to his consider to the end that if which i cannot bring myself to believe Iho same decision that cannot but be deemed an unfriendly denial of Justice should be persisted in the matter May before your adjournment be Laid before you the constitutional judg of what is or taper to be Dono when a Gobi nation for redress of injury fails. The conclusion of a treaty for Index by Wilh France seemed to present a favourable Opportunity to renew our claims Ofa similar nature on other Powers and particularly in the Case of those upon Naples More especially As in the course of former negotiations Wilh that Power our failure to induce France to Render us Justice was used As an argument against us. The desires of the merchants who were the principal sufferers have therefore been acceded to and a Mission has been instituted for the special purpose of obtaining for them a reparation already Loo Long delayed. This measure having Lieen resolved on it was put in exec ution without waiting for the meeting of Congress because the slate of Europe created an apprehension of events that might have rendered our application Inezl actual. Our demands upon the government of the two sic Ilies Are of a Peculiar nature. The injuries on which they Are founded Aro not denied nor Are the atrocity and perfidy under which those injuries were perpetrate in attempted to be extenuate. The sole ground on which indemnity has Boon refused is the alleged illegality of the tenure by which the Monarch who made the seizures held his Crown. This defence always unfounded in and principle in the Law of nations now universally abandoned even by those Powers upon whom the responsibility for acts of past rulers bore the most heavily will unquestionably Hegi Fin up by his s 1 no Jesty Whoso i amp noels will receive a pulse from Lufi High sense of honour regard to jul ilk which Are said to a Teriza hit of and i feel the fullest Edenfi thatche talents of the Cuizon missioner ii purpose fore him Tho just claims of our Iper citizens in such a Light As , before your adjourn me it to announce thai they have been adjust ii a Oil secured a precise instructions to the effect of ring ing the negotiation to a speedy Issue behave been Given and will to obeyed in the late blockade of Terceira some of the portuguese Fleet capture several of our vessels and committed of her i of uses for which reparation was Dema and i was on the Point of despatch ii armed Force to prevent any recur of a similar violence and protect of Zens in the prosecution of their lawful Commerce when official Assur Alfry on which i relied made the sailing of Thi ships unnecessary. Since that period frequent promises have been made that full indemnity shall be Quot Given the injuries inflicted and the losses sucked a in Ibe performance there has beef some perhaps in avoidable delay hut i fit Tho fullest Confidence that my Earnestin i sire that this business May at once Bie closed which our Fellini ser has been in in jct de strongly to e.xpres3, will very soon be gratified. I have the better ground for ibis Hope from Iho evidence of a a Friendly i slates authorizing the anticipation that this important Articia of our Export. Wiil soon be admitted on Tho same footing with that produced by the most favored nation. With Iho other Powers of Europe we have fortunately had no cause of discus Sion for Tho redress of injuries. With Tho Empire of Tho russian on political connexion is of the most Friendly and our commercial of the most Liberal kind. We enjoy the advantages of navigation and Trade Given to Tho most favored nation but it has not yet suited their policy or perhaps has not. Been found conto ment from other considerations to Ivo stability and reciprocity to those privilege by a commercial treaty. The ill Hilt if the minister last year charged with making a proposition for that arrangement did not permit him to remain at by Petersburgh and Tho attention of that government during the whole of he period since his departure having been occupied by Tho War in which it was engaged the Havo been assured that nothing Coul Obaye been erected by his presence. A minister will soon be nominated As Well to effect this important object Aslo keep up Tho relations of Amity and Good understanding of Umoh we have recoiled so Many assure Peerand proofs from his Imperial majesty and the emperor his predecessor.
