Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Correspondence of Rufus King, Vol. 3: Comprising His Letters, Private and Official, His Public Documents and His Speeches This third volume takes up the correspondence at the point of time when President Adams had proposed to send a new embassy to France to take advantage of what appeared to him an opportunity to settle the questions which had caused the breaking off the questions which had caused the breaking off the amicable relations with France and the annulling of the treaty with that country. Constant decrees against all vessels carrying articles of the growth or manufacture of England or its colonies and confiscations under them were aimed chiefly against the commerce of the United States, and the President hoped through the instrumentality of a new commission to France to restore the harmony and peaceful conditions between the two nations. As is well known this course was disapproved of by the Federalists generally, and with other causes led to a want of confidence and good feeling between them, and resulted in his failure to be re-elected to the Presidency. The history of this unfortunate event, of the change of administration caused by the election of Jefferson, and of the policy which he adopted, are the subjects which fill the letters of Mr. King´s correspondents in the United States, often revealing in their remarks his own opinions. Abroad he is shown to have earnestly endeavored to bring to a conclusion the questions in dispute between the United States and Great Britain, hopeful, yet constantly disappointed by evasion and delays on the part of Great Britain, explained partly by the pressure of her relations with France and the continent, and partly by a change of ministry.
