liam Poikney, Commissioner* Extraordinsty and Plenipotim-
tiaries of the United States of America, that they are stow
ready to proceed to the Signature of the Truly of Amity.
Commerce, and Navigation, on the articles of which they have
mutually agreed.
But at the same time thoy have it In command ham Ilia
Majesty, to call the attention of the Connalimioners of the
United States, to some extraordinary proceedings oh: 11 have
lately taken place nn the Coritinent of Fii:o ' std to ceen-
municate to them officially ti,e tz.it..J. at. of NM Slagesty's
Giserriment thermion..
The proceedings alluded to are certain beisratiess and or-
ilms of the French Gownsman, issued at Seth% On the Slat
of November last.
In thole ruder" the French Government treks to justify or
palliate iu own orijost pretensions, by iiwpotiiig to Great Bri-
tain principle' which 'he 'imam profess, and to,v'tlCCl which
never existed. lin Maples Is accused of a systematic and
general disri-zard of the Isl. of Nat;oos, ,niv J by civi-
lined States, and more p,r reeler!, ..•. • • •ratitable ernes.

*dandy appeal to the world, out hr* uniform respect lot nentral
rights, and his general and scrupulous adherence to the law
of Nations, without coodeseenditig to contrast his conduct in
o,ese particulars, with that of M. enemy ; and with regard to
the only specific charge, it u notorious, that he has never de.
dared any Ports to be in a stme of blockade, without anon:tie
to that 0...,,ect a for. .e sighs mot to make the ',Manes ii.to them
manifestly dangerous.
By such allcgatiolill, unfounded se they are the enemy at•
tempts to justify his preterismos nr as lawful

it ire the property of neut,al; ; of excluding from hit limbo,"
every neutral' vessel which has touched at any port of Ilia Ma-
jesty's dominions. though employed in an tonormit com-
merce ; and of declaring (;.cat Braila to be in a state of block.
ode, though las own puns and arsenals are actually blockailed,
anal heft unable initiation any naval force whatever before soy
port of the United Kingliim.
Such principles an in themselves extravagant, and repug-
nant to the law of nations; and the pretensiona founded ern
them, thout,lt pluiessed'y al:.ectelsolcly against Great Britain,
t. ii.l to alter the practice of war among civilised nations, and
