The vindicat;on here referred to, was contained
in a letter, dated January, 1877, which 1 wrote By
the direction of President Washington, to general
Pinckncy, our minister in Paris. In that letter, the
subjects in controversy between the U. States and
France, were revie we'd. 1t was OF this review, that
chief Justice Marshal, in his Life OF Washington,
(vol '. p. 726) thus expresses his opinion -" 1t pre-

points of controversy which had arisen between the
two nations, and defended the measures which had

pest, however, was not displayed to me,
but to a friend of mine, a member of con-
gress, who was going home, and called on
MIR. Adams to take leave. To me, who
during more than three years, held the Of
fee Of Secretary Of State under him, Mr..
Adams once only exhibited any passion ;
and that on an occasion which furnished no
cause for the slightest emotion. It was
this:-His son, John Quincy Adams, in
1894, was appointed Charge d'Aaairs, or
minister resident of the United States at
the Hague. Justbefore General Washing
toms last Presidency expired, he raised
John @. Adams to the higher grade of mi

however. before a fair copy of the commits

sion Of that event first led me to determine
not to remove my family to the city of
Washington: because 20 establish them
there would oblige me to incur an extraor-

of defraying: whereas, by separating my
self from my family, and living there eight
or nine months, with strict economy, !
hoped to meet that expense, should the oc-
casion occur. Or, ii then went out Of
office, that saving would enable me to SUBJ
sist my family a few months longer and
perhaps aid me in transporting them into

my first ancestor in New England, I ex-
pected to commence a settlement on 5are

CORRESPONDENCE

Bsfqpeea The Governour ef Maryland and
WILLIAM PiNKNEY, ESD. oHr tate Minis
;ster az The Court Of 81. James.
Annapolis, August 10, 1911.
DEAR SIR,
Ar this important crisis in our forcigu
and domestck concerns, nothing can be more
desirable than procuring correct information
for the people; with this view therefore L
have taken the liberty to address YOUR cspect-
ing the conduct of our government in tho
late negotiation with England. II must bc
known to you, that every cxertion is making
by the federal party in this State, TO impress
belief, In the minds OF the pcople, thar the
general government has never shewn ~ hon.
est disposition to settle our differences With
England on honpurablc and fair terms and
that French innue nee, in our Cabinet, is tho
cause OF our present embarrassments. To
you then, sir, who have been tho acting and
active minister in this negotiation, lools
with the fullest confidence for an honest and
candid developement of facts, and knowing
the high estimation in which you are held by
the rcjudiced citizens Of our native State,
! am certain that yoar statement of facts will
be con6ded in, and yonr opinion duly apprc-
ciated---will you therefore have the goodness
to answer; as soon as your convenience will
permit, the following queries.
Have you ever discovered on the part os
our government disposition to delay an ac-
commodation with England, on terms hon.
durable to the nation On the contrary has
it not manifested an ardent desire to settle
our difference on any terms that were noe
incompatible with our rights as an indcpcn-
dent nation : Have you, in any situation, un-
der any circumstances, had reason TO believes
that an accommodation with England did noe
take place in. consequence OF French inf,u~
encc or French partiality.
With sincere respcc,, remain your friend
and fellow citizen,
