+" There is cons.an, fire kept up between

the French are night and day at work repair

may be permitted to remind you, sir, that

Of the United States were connected with the

betw cen our two countries and which having

Sir,
have had the honor to receive your letter
OF the 4th instant respecting the encounter
between the United States irisate the Presi-
dent, and his Britannia Ma jesty's ship Little
Bel;, which / have laid before tbe President
OF the United States.
In the first interview which took place be-
tween Us, after your arrival at Washington, l
stated explicitlyth no instructions had been
given to take any seamen from on board a
British ship of war, Tor any order whatever
ola hostile nature. made the same decla-
ration afterwards, at your request, in a more
formal manner; and ii is witt che same frank
ness that now again repeatlt.
Such declaration was deemed proper, in
order to cbviate misrepresentation which
might obstruct any conciiiatory and satisfac-
tory propositions with which YOU might be
charged. 1t was III conformity also with the
candor and friendly policy which have been
shewn by this government in all its transac-
tons with Great Britain.
IF the answer 10 your former letter was IL

the part OF this government, it need scarcely
be remarked, that no further view ofthe SUBJ

| Deh0rtmtnf Of STATE, Cctober IL, 1911.
SIR,
have the honor to transmit to you copy
] of the proceedings ofa Court OF Enquiry, held
! by order Of the President, on the conduct OF
Commodore Rodgers, in the late encounter
| between figate of the United States, the
! President, and His Britannia Majesty's ship,
J the Little Belt.
The result of this enquiry, which was con-
Quoted in public, in manner the most fair &
! impartial, and established by the concurrent
! testimony Of ali the officers of the American
ship, and Of others whom If was proper to
summon, Cannot, it is presumed, leave doubt
In the mind OF any one that Capt. Bingham
| made the attack, and without a jusuhable
cause.
That Commodore Rodgers pursued a vessel
which had at first pursued him, and hailed her
as soon Z. he approached within suitable dis
lance are circumstances which can be of no a.
vail to Capt Bingham. The United States have
right to know the national character of the
armed ships which hover on their coast, & whe-
Their they visit it with friendly or illicit views
II is right inseparable from the sovereignty
Of every independent state, & intimately con=
nected with their tranquility and peace. All
nations exercise it, and none with more ri COR,
or at greater distance from the coast than
q. Britain herself, nor any, on more iustiGable
grounds, than the United States. In addition
10 the considerations W hch have recommended
these precautions to other powers, it is rem
dered of the more importance to the United
States, by the practice of armed vessels from
the West Indies investing our coast for unau-
thorised and even piratical purposes. Instan-
ces have also occurred. In which the COM
| FLANDERS of British ships of war, after impress
ing seamen from American vessels, have con.
cesied their names, and the names of their
| ships, whereby an application to their govern
| ment for the reparation due for such outIsges,
with the requisite certainty, is rendered i'm
practicable. For these reasons tie conduct Of
Commodore Rodgers, in approaching the Lit
tie Belt to make the necessary enquiries, ard
exchange friendly salute, was strictly cor
rect.
The President therefore, can regard the act
Of Captain Bingham no otherwise than as
hostile aggression on the flag of the United
States. and be is persuaded, that his Britain
mic Majesty, viewing it In the same light will
bestow On it the attention which it merits.
With great respect and consideration, /
have the honor 10 be, sir, your most obedi-
ent servant,
JAMES MONROE.
