Ms. MONROE TO MR.. FOSTER.


Dstartment Of Stufe, 97th July, 1911.
SIR,
had the honor to receive your letter of
yesterdays date, in time to submit 1t to the
view OF the President befpre he left town.
1t was nv object TO stat c to you In my let
ter of the sd instant, that under existing cir
cumstances, it was impossible for the Presi-
dent to terminate the operation OF the non-im-
portation law of the Cd March last: that France
having accepted the proposition made by pre-.
vious law equally to Grea, Britain & to France,
and having revoked her tecrees, violating our
neutral rights, and Great Britain having de-
clined to revoke hers, it became the duty of
this government to fulfil Its engagements and
to declare the non-impoctation law in force a.
gainst G. Britain.
This state of affairs has not been sought by
the United States. When the proposition con-
tanned in the law of May lst, 1910, was offer
ed equally to both powers, there was cause to
presume that Great Britain would have ac-
cepted it, in which event the non-importation
law would not have operated against her.
Alexandria daily gazette, commercial & political. [volume] (Alexandria [Va.]) 1808-1812, 1811-11-12

Il is in the power Of the British govern n
ment, at this time to enable the preslaen. =, -
set the non-importation law aside by render r
ing to the United States an act OF justice. 4
Great Britain will cease to violate thelf heu :,
trail rights by reroking herOrders hCoui' ~
ON which event alone the President mas lhe
power, am instructed to inform you that !. nc
Will, without delay, exercise it by terminating
the operation of this law. So.
1t is presumed that the communications
which have had the honor 10 make TO YOU
of the revocation by France OF her DEGREES SO
far as they violated the neutral rights % wv
United States, and of her conduct since inc
revocation, will present to your government
different view of the subject from that when
it had before taken, and produce In It's couh'
ellis correspondent effect.
have the honor to be. sc.

the American government the prompt disa-
,owal made by his Majesty .(and rccitcd in

ed act oil the officer in command of his naval
forces on the coast of America, whose recall
from ahighIy important and honourable CONF
mand Immediately ensued as mark of his
Majesty dsapprobation. lst
Secondly, That lam authorized TO offer,
in addition to that disavowal, on tae par. of
His Royal Highncss, the immediate restora-
ton, as far as circumstances will. admit, Of
the men who in consequence of Admiral
Berkley's orders where forcibIy taken out of
the Chesapeake to the vessel from which they
were taken or if that ship should be no lon
gerin commission to such seaport IN the Z.
States as the American government may
name for the purpose
Thirdly, That am also authorized to of
fer to the American government suitable
pecuniary provision for the sufferers in con-
sequence of the attack on the Chesapeake,
unfortunately fell in the action, and of the
wounded survivors.
These honourable propositions, can as
sure you sir, are made with the sincere de-

they will meet with that amicable reception,

SIR, I aAg
have had the honour to receive your let

President.
1t is much to be regretted that the repara-
ton due FOR such an aggression as that COM
mitted on the United States frigate the Ches-
apeakeo should have been so long delayed
nor could the translation of the offending Of
fccr from one command to another, be re-
gardeA! as constituting part Of reparation
othcrvtise satisfactory considering however
The existing eircun stance Of the case, and
the caraly aud smicabe attention paid to il by
Ills Rfaoyal Highness the Prince Regent, the
t'rcsic lcnt accedcs to the proposition contain
I'd in ylsour letter, and in so doing your gov
