SIR,
Il has been made the duty of the un~
hersgued 10 bring to the view of the
French government, an official note address
sed to him or the Is n January last, by his
maiesty's minister of exterior relations, &
which, in the opinion og the President, is
calculated to derogate from he rights of
the United Statcs, as an independent ma
tinn. The tote is in the following words,
via. (See NJ. Chsmpagny's letter of the 18th
Jan. 1808.)
On this note, the undersigned would re
mark
LIST. That the United States have = RICH,
70 elect their own policy with regard 70 En-
gland, as they have with regard 20 France ;
and thar it is only while they continue 70
Exercise this right, without suffering any
degree of restraint from either power, that
they can maintain the independent relation
lin which they stand to both: Whence t.
follows, that TO have pronounced, in the Pc
rentory tone ofthe preceding note, the eff
fccts which the measures Of the British go.
vernment ought ~ have produced ON their
councils and conduct, was a language less
adapted to accomplish us own object, than
70 offend against the respect due from one
independent nation TO another: and
Cd. That the alternative 90 be found in
the last paragraph, and which leaves the
United States to choase between an ncqui-
escence in the views Of France, against G
Britain, and confiscation OF all American
property, sequestered by order Of his inn
perial majesty, is equally offensive to both
governments TO France, asst would imDuts
to her a proposition founded in wrong to in
dlviduals and 10 the United States, as il
would imply, on their part, subiugation Ia
pecuniary interests, totally Inconsistent with
their principles, and highly dishonorable
70 their character.
IT'S excelleney will be persuaded that
the President, in directing the undersigned
~ make this representation, bad no object
IN view, beyond that Of seeking An expla'
nation whicA cannot but tend TO promote
thc harmony Of the two powers.
The minister plenipotentiary of the y
States,
JOHN ARMSTRONG.

ships didnot go voluntarilyto England,

that the United Sta.cs could no Ion

Thus in either case the interests Of
his majesty would be directly advan-
ed by the measures in the one, the
WANTS Of France & her colonies would
not only be regularly supplied, but
she would herself become an entrepot
