Mfage rfpeßing the Berceau.
Gentlemen ot the House of Representative,
I now transmit the papers defred in your
Jolution of the Jxth infant. Thoje refpeaing
the Berceau will fufficiently explain themfeives.
The officer charged with her repairs fates in
bis letter received August 27, 1801, that be
bad been led by circumfances, which be ex
plains; toga conjiderably beyond bis orders. In
quefions betueen nations who have no common
umpire but reason, Jamething mus often be
yielded of mutual opinion to enable them to meet
in a common point.
The allowance which had been proposed to
the officers of that vgffel being reprejented as
too Jmallfor their daily necffities, and fill more
Jo as the means of paying, before their depart
ure, debts contrasted with our citizens for fub
fiftance, it was requefed on their behalf that
the daily pay of each might be the measure of
their allowance. This being solicited and re
imbursement assumed by the agent of their na
tion, l deemed that the indulgence would have
a propitious effect in the moment of returning
friendjb p. The Jum of 870 dollars and 83
cents was accordingly JurniJbed them for the
five months of pajt captivity, and a proportion
al allowance authorifed until their embarka
tion.
