SIR,
When in the month of Auguft lat, your ex-
cellency claimed from me the perfon of Don
Jofeph Cabrera, i had the honour to obfcrye to
you in anfwer, that this gentleman, being under
the protection of the Laws of Nations, it was
out of my power to give him up; but that G.
qusly deGrous of defending The Diplomatic
privileges attached to his ftuation, and of re-
moving the idea of the mott diitant difpoftion
on my part 20 fcreen man, who, by all appear
ances, had violated the laws of civilized nations,
wiihed to have him iecured in the Debtors A.
par.ment under my authority. | claimed from
your excelleBcy the means of carrying into eff
feet this exercife of my indubitabIe right, and
declared to you at the fame time, that any nea-
fures taken by your excellency, for that purpofe,
were TO be Confidered merely as inftrumental
to eftablilh the authority of the king my mater,
over one Of his fubieels.
Your exccDlcucy agreed with me on the pro-
priety Of iuch a conduct, and gave orders for the
detention of Cabrera, until His Catholic Ma
Jeity S deciHOn mould be knoWn.--Slnce that
period, two circumstances have occurred, in
which your excellency's refpe6t for the Laws of
Nations has been evinced, and which are an in
conteGible proof that Cabrera had been alrcfed
under the authority of the king my mater, and
not under that of the fate, as has been malici-
onHy pretended.
But, fir, it is not enough, that the Executive
Department pays that regard that is due 20 the
Diplomatic privileges; it lboud DC equally ex-
petted from all the other branches of the 90
yeinmeDt of this Rate. ] underftand that MIR.
Cabrera has applied about two weeks ago for afi
HabeaJ CorpH5, before TIE honorable Circuit
Court of the United States, and that the learned
Judges had declred, they had nothing TO do in
CalYrsra's cafe, whole deciGon excIuiively be-
longed to his fovereigu. ] am alto informed,
that new attempt has been made of late before
the honorable the Chief Juftice Of this cate,
but was faddeniy fufpended, and finally remoy-
ed before Mr.. Frederick Woibert, an Allocate
Judge Of The Court Of Common Piea5.
] would coniider myfcIf as remfs in the fol-
flnent Of my duty, aud in the defence of the
rights Of my foveregn, was | 20 be ilent any
longer iofpetting proceedings Of this nature
and tendency. MIR. Cabrera is his Catholic ma
