German View of War in Staats-Zeitung New York
From the Staats-Zeitung New York April 13, a letter quotes Madison to Monroe in 1804 denouncing British order in council as a major abuse on the seas. It recalls France 1794 decrees allowing seizure of neutral merchant ships carrying provisions, and Jefferson’s defense of neutral rights to trade during wartime, arguing such interference should not pull the United States into war.
