rrahfmitting a Report of the Secretary of State,
and sundry Documents relative to the requifiq
tion for and delivery of Jonathan Robbins; in
*' pursuance of a Resolution of this House, of the
4th inst.
Gentlemen of tbe House of Representatives,
IN consequence of your request to me,convey
ed in your resolution of the 4th of this month,

United States, Feb ytb; 1800.
— REPORT.-
Department of State, Feb. 6, 1806.
THE Secretary of State has prepared, a#
directed, and now refpcclfully fubroits to the
President of the United States, copies of the pa
pers which probably were contemplated by the
House of Representatives, in their resolve of
the 4th inst. although no requisition as the re
solve supposes has ever been received, nor any
communication made to the Judge of the Dif
trid court of South Carolina, concerning any
man by the name of Jona. Robbins. But by
the proceedings before that Judge, as they have
been published, it appears that a teaman named
Thomas Nas, the lubje& of the British Min
iftcr's requisition, did aflame the name of Jona
than Robbins, and make oath " that he was
a native of the state of Connecticut, and bpm
in Danbury in that state." The Secretary,
therefore, besides the copy of the requifition,l
and the copies of his letter to the Judge of the j
Diftrift court of South-Carolina, and of the ;
Judge's answer, has prepared, and herewith in- 1
closes, copies of the certificates of the Selectmen:
^and Town-Clerk of Danbury, and extrads of'
; letters from Admiral Sir Hyde Parker, fatis-|
' fadorily proving, that the Thomas Nash, call- I
ring himfelf Jonathan Robbins, who, on the
requisition of the British Minister, was deliver
ed up b, the judge aforefaid, with the assent of
the President of the United States, was not an
American citizen, but a native Irishman, who
to his other crimes added perjury in the hope,
thereby, to escape the punishment due to piracy
and murder.
The original certificates of the Selectmen and
Town-Cletk of Danbury, are in the Secretary's
possession ; and he has compared the extract
of Admiral Parker's letter to Mr. Liston, with
the original, and the extract of the Admiral's
letter to the Britfh Consul at Charleston, with
the passage as recited in the Consul's original
letter to Mr. Litton.
All which is refpe& fully submitted.

R. Lifan, presents bis refpeas to Col. Pickering,
Secretary of Start.
A Teaman of the name of Thomas Nafli,
having been committed to gaol, in Charleston
(S. Carolina,) at the instance of his majesty's
consul there, on suspicion of his having been an
accomplice in the piracy and murder committ
ed on board his majesty's ship Hermoine, and
information of the circumstance having been
trarifnritted to vice admiral fir Hyde Parker, a
cutter was dispatched to Charleston, with an
officer on board, to whom the man was well
known, in order that his person might be
identified, and that he should be carried to the
Weft Indies for trial.
But bn the application of the consul for the
rcftoration of Nash, in conformity to the treaty
- qf 1794, Judge Bce, and the Federal Attorney;
were of opinion that he could not with proprie
ty be delivered up, without a previous requisi
tion on my part, made to the executive Govern
ment of the U. S. May I therefore request, fir;
that you will be pleated to lay this flatter be
fore the President, and procure his orders that

Sik,
Mr. LISTON, the Minister of his Eritanhit:
Majesty, has requeued that Thomas Nafli, who
was a seaman on board the British frigate Her
moine. and who he is informed it now a pris
oner in the jail of Charleston, should be deliver,
ed up. 1 have stated the matter to the Presi
dent of the United States. He confiders an
offence committed on board a public ship of
war, on the high seas, to have been committed
within the jurrifdiaion of the nation to
whom ; the ship belongs. Nash, is charged, it
is understood, with piracy and murder, committ
ed by him on board the above mentioned Brit
ish frigate, on the high seas, and consequently
" within the jprifdi&iob' of his Britannic Maj
esty; and therefore, by the 27th article of the
treaty of amity with Great Britian, Nash ought
to be delivered up, as requeued by the British
Minister, provided such evidence of his crimi
nality be produced, as by the laws of the Uni
ted States, or of South-Carolina, would juftify
his apprehension and commitment for trial, if
the offence had been committed within the ju
rifdidion of the U. States. The President has
in confequencc hereof authorized me to commu
nicate to you “ his advice and request" that
Thomas Nash, may be delivered up to the con
fil or other agent of G. Britain, who shall ap
pear to receive him.
I have the honor to be, &c. &c.

IN compliance with the request of the Presi

for trial, to be brought before me, on habeas cor
pus, in order to his being delivered over agree
able to the 27th article of the treaty of amity
with Great -Britain. The Consul attended in
Court and requeued that the prisoner mould re
main in goal, until he had a convenient opportu
nity of fending him away. I have therefore di
rexfted that he remain in prifoo, until the Consul

Among all the fentimentd f Terences
which, since the revolution,vfcve sub

events in which party hath'cheefclly

birth of Washington, and pflndepen

Ibe the voice of after ages ! Wien, thro'
!the long vifla of fuecdeding years—-
I he is viewed, bf porterity, diverted of
the present prejudices of little minds,
as the FOUNDER OF A MIGHTY

STATESMAN, th CHRISTIAN,
and as the firft in all these important
characters, nations, with reverential ad

:WASHING TON those attributes arid
I thofe honors which adorn mortality ih

Now will the geriius of Eulogium be
called forth, both in the weftern and

Crowned with eYery Mtife, and adorn

so ardent alafk ? The thifel of the
sculptor, and the pencil of the painter,
ban afford but a faint fem blahce of the
virtues they attempt to delineate.
Fiew HIM early called to the ftoh
my field of war, in defence of his loved
country, and foiling an experienced Ge

" There fbone in veteran fill, and youthful cLarme,
" Tbe pride of nature and tbe boast of ar%."

View HIM, in obedience to the u

coming forward, taking, in a perilous
hour, the command of her infant ar
mies, leading them to cQnqueft against
one of the most potent powers of the
earth, and eftablifliing our indepen
dance on the firmed bale.
View HIM as the hero, in the states
man, forming and applying those laws
which are the pride and boast of otir
empire, and repeatedly pilotting our
political barque through the tempestu
ous billows of contending politics, to
the port of fafety, and magnanimously
retiring from the apex of human glory,
to the shades of rural retirement, fol
lowed by the bleflings of Worlds, to
pass a felicitous old age in the fwegts of
domestic serenity.
View HIM as the illustrious Far

great foul to the agricultural interests
of society, teaching the Potomack how
to flow, foftening and consolidating the
bands of social compaft, fevereing the
religion of his fathers, and paying hum
ble adoration in the temple of omnipo
tence.
Again, from distant shores, the clarion
of war founds a portentious alarm to

View HIM oric^ ihore girdirig ori

" The President in complying with the
request of the House of Representatives to fur
nifti the papers relpeaing the surrender of tbe
murderer Robbins, alias Nash, to the Britiffi,
has put a gag in the mouths of those stupid rail
ers against government, who have for months,
been bellowing, lying, and deceiving on this
fubjeft.—The mover of the Resolution! hai
been completely quizzed —and if he thought the
government would have appeared so just, ay
the exposure of the papers ptefents it, he would
rathet have be^n doomed to eterhal silence than
have opened his lip® bn the fdbje&. It is thus
