The undersigned. minister OF state. and
,hicf of ,be department of Foreign Affairs
has seen with very particular Satisfaction, from
the note of Mr.. Erying, minister OF the Unit
ed States of America, under date OF the ooIn
alt. that he was not disappointed IN his expect
alton Of finding, that Mr.. Irving "ouia at
knowiede-e the sentiments of justice and equ,-
81. which animate the king his master, as well
% the desire of his majesty to maintain good
understanding with the government OF the 7 :
r,,ed States. But it is not without pain that
~. samc minister Of state sees that Mr.. Er-
80, demonstrates against the sentences alrea-
10 definitely pronounced. 1t is with the same
..n,;,neo,. that the undersigned finds himself
rhzrped by the orders OF his sovereign 10 re-
,,aat 20 the minister OF the United States, that
his majesty cannot make any genera chah9e
A. The REGULATIONS of the ordinance Tor prlYa-
,-e-;np. issued on the 2sth March OF last year,
"a i'm consequence. none In the lth whlch
,,,5e- the letter t" d." declares that neutral
ye.s.Is that make use of the convoy or OF the
,ro,ec,;on Of the vessels of war OF Great-Br
r., are 20 be considered a, good prize, II the
Danish priyateers capture them under convoy
The undersigned must repeat, tiia' 'iie iu ~,
laid dosn by that article OF the ordnance VIII
be followed by the prize courts "heneYes inc
nroofs are clear, that the vessels uhder A'i'e-
r;can far. as we'll as those OF other nations,
are found in convoy under the Pro'ecuon OF
,he en.mies of Denmark. He does not wish
e. reres, here what he had the honor OF stat
mo on this subject in his preceding no'e' out
he beps Mr.. Erying to be so good as 70 OBJ
serve To his government, that none Vi INC
mowers of Europe have called In question the
Justice of this principle.
Mr. Eryine has observed, that notWithStand-
inq, the Danish Courts had not been directed

he tbc French consuls In the ports Oh Anerl-
r. az false, until after the 22d September OF
T., va.r there has nevertheless been inPos-
Cd unon two vessels, acquitted by the supreme
600, &C admiralty, hRe solely tor having
,hese certificates on board, as Nj. Irving mas
hen informed. The undersigned, although
y. is not informed of these facts, Will not call
:, ,pest;on the assertion OF the munster OF the
JTnited States ard he must consequently
.,,,,nose that the suspicion OF the Legality OF
90 certificates, was excited by the public
I..I.,.,;op which was before made on the part
&C he French government, that the consuis
e France were not authorised to grant the
ea..;scates in question, and that tor that rea-
-, the courts have decided that the captors
were justified in bringing IN the vessels io'
