of the certificate herewith enclofed tor
the reulr. During the courfe ofconver-
fation the Balhaw obierved that he ne
Yer made reprifals on any nation, or de-

mifes not being falGlled, or for want OF
due refpea being ihewn him; that he con
ceived himfelf entitled to the fame ref

This being favorable Opportunity,
TO knos wether our broker had acted
with candour, repeated what was
contained in mine of the 18th OF April,
and found by the Bafhaw's anfwers
(which were exactly what Farfara had
before infotmed me THAT he had acted
horeftly.
/" The Baihaw obierved that the United
States had made liberal prefents to Aigiers
and Tuuis, that he was informed OF the
particslars OF all our negotiations, that he
evenh,d a lift of the cargo which had ar
rived a, Tunis, that it is worth a treaylarr.
Why DO not the United States iend me
a voluntary prrient.. They have atted
with me as if they had done every thing
seainit their will. Frf, they folicited
