Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters From the Secretary of State to Mr. Monroe, on the Subject of Impressments, Colonial Trade, &C: Also, Extracts From and Enclosures in the Letters of Mr. Monroe, to the Secretary of State, Prior to the Joint Mission of Him and Mr. Pinkney The only topic on which any thing has passed in writing between the department of state and him, is that of the pretended blockade of St. Domingo. Copies of my letter to him, and of his answer, are herewith inclosed; as also of the letter written to Mr. Thornton, some time before, and referred to in that to Mr. Merry, in relation to a like blockade of Martinique and Gaudaloupe. Although there are many important objects which may be thought to invite conventional regulations between the United States and Great Britain, it is evidently proper to leave for subsequent consideration, such as are less urgent in their nature, or more difficult in their adjustment; and thereby to render the way plainer and shorter to an agreement with respect to objects which cannot be much longer delayed without danger to the good understanding of the two nations. With this view the plan of a convention contemplated by the President, is limited to the cases of impressments of our seamen, of blockades, of visiting and searching our vessels, of contraband oi war, and of the trade with hostile colonies, with a few other cases affecting our maritime rights; embracing however, as inducements to Great Britain to do us justice therein, a provision for the surrender of deserting seamen and soldiers, and for the prevention of contraband supplies to her enemies. The plan digested for your use is subjoined. The first column contains the articles which are to be proposed in the first instance, and which are considered; is within cur just expectations: the second modifies the articles into the concessions which the British government may possibly require, and which it may expedient for us ultimately to admit.
