SIR,

The troops of the king my mater, which have
the honor to command, on this Gde of the Sabine,
have no other object but to maintain good harmony
between the United States and his rlaieftv and to
preierve inviolate the territory which belongs to
him. t,
Major freeman was navigating the Red river on
that part OF the territory which never belonged to
the province of Louiiana, now appertaining 20 the
u States. Tor which realon he notified by the
conaniant of the troops to rerogade as far back as
the country that did belong to them.
agree with your excellency, that all the territory
winch ms Cathoc maleiry ceded france belongs
to the United States, but the Csddo Indians are not
on that land, but at great dGance from it, and live
now on the territory of Spain for which reafon it
was notified to them that they chofe to live under
the government of the United States; thew mutt oo
to the territory under their juriidicton, bur if thew
ceired to remain where they were, II was required
OF them to take down the American aag. They con
tented not abandon their village but being more
saEdy chan was conceived they might have been, in
pulling down the Gag, they (the spanard.) were .b-
Eyed to dol; BY force. ~
The reafon why detained the three citizens of the
United States was, becaule they were found twice.
and different days, obferving our petitions and
movements, and three everal times that 5ueGioned
them, obferved they did not agree as to the mo-
tves of WHITING this place; but finally one of then,
told me that they wilhed to eGabith ,hemfelves up
der the government Of the king at ST. antoine which
determined me TO fend them to the governor Of the
province with EFFORT, we'll or account of the
d;aauce of the road for having rendered tefelves
iu!pected per!ons.
The detention oil the runaway negroes Of Loufa-
at Nacogdoches is affair now in lurenfe before
the captain general Of this province, who likewife
will have knowledge of the motives why thofe were
fent back whom your exeellency cited and for the
better iecurity of the matter, fa fend your letter
which received by col. Hopkins, and who lilewCe
will be the bsarer Of this The troops of the king.
neither from difpoGton character, will ever CO.
operate directly indirectly in encouraging the eNi
grafton of negro ilaves for my part allure your
eYceeucy that thoie command will commit no hoI-
tility, which frurae the negotiations now pend

SIR,
By the return of col. Hopkins, am honored with
your excellensy's reply omy communication of the

continue Of opinion that the advance Of Spanilh
troops within territory claimed by the United

which can juhfy or exteDua,e the ofenlve conduct
obferyed towards Mr. Freeman and his afIociates or

You have not denied, fir, that the French, when
in po8sIion Of Louiisna, had c1abAed a carrifon
