among vome of my countrymen, ahd insinuae

on the 12th December, 1 denounced the

Majesty the King of Denncark, which I sent
by express, Ihe ships were afterwards tried
in two tribunals, and their papers being found
Forged, they were together with thhir cargoes
condemned, | afterwards received the unanie

my fellow citizens at Hamburf, Supercargoes
of the ships here, and at thelr riquest proe
ceeded to Copenhugen, to solicit the liberae

vinces, The deluy which bas occured im
this investigution is the only sourcé of dissate
isfaction with my conduct. Perhaps the dis
satisfied would have preferred immediate conn
JSiscation to delayed deliberation, This is the
summary of the principal facts. I shall make
but one or two observations. Although the
enemics of the measure have endravoured (0
- make a party question of ity it has nothing to
do with party. Among my approvers were
men of both the great political opinione
which characterize {ny fellow citizens at
home, and the commntittee whod communicated
to me the sense of the meeting were all fede«
eralists. The law contravened is an old one,
and was passed in the yoar 1803. On the
ground of expediency end delicacy towards
the local authorities, I have ascertained from
the highest sources, that had the property
been given up by an undistinguishing general
order, a new arrest would have been immes
diately laid under different agents, and whigh
would have proved fatal to the whole. .
