him bill tor 10 900 dollars, and Mr.. Smith,
the Supercarg3 OF the Gideon, one for

this they were compelled t. do, rather than
to see their vessels destroyed; and on their
arrival IN their own country, advertised said
bills, and the illegal manner IN which they
had been extorted from them. Captain
GrassIn's arrival in this port having afforded
the parties an opportunity Of demanding

Of the Berlin and Milan DEGREES, which yoa

Washington, lilly %, 1911.


SIR,
have had the honor to receive your letter
of July % in answer to mine OF the and IA
instant, which you will permit me to say were
not merely relative to His Majesty's orders in
council, and the blockade of May 1906, but
also to the Presidents proclamation of last
Nov. and to the consequent act of Congress of
March 2, as well as to the Just complaints
which His Royal Highness the Prince Regent
had commanded me to make to your govern
ment with respect to the proclamadon.anh to
that act.
If the United States government had ex-
pectcd that should have made communica-
ton. which would have enabled them to come
to an accommodation with Great Britain on
the ground on which alone you say it was pos
si6le to meet us, and that you mean by that
expression departure from our system CT
defence against the new kind of warfare still
practiced by France, ! am at loss to discover
from what source they could have derived
those expe Citations, certainly not from the cor
respondence between the Marquis Wellesley
and Mr. Pinkney.
Before proceed to reply to the arguments
which arc brought forward by you to shew
that the decree, of Berlin and Milan are re-
pealed, must first enter into an explanation
upon some points ON which you have evident
ly misspprehended, for l will not suppose you
could have wished to misintcrpret my mean
ing.
And first in regard to the blockade of May
1906, must ayow that am wholly at loss
to find out from what part OF my letter it is
that the President has drawn the unqualified
inference that should the orders in council of
1907 be revoked, the blockade of May 1906,
would cease with them. 1t is most material
that on this point no mistake should exist be-
tweeneus. From your letter it would appear
as if on the question of blockade which Ame-
