TRANSLATION.

The Danish brig Henrick, captain Schcel,
departed from Cape Francois in 1899, was
captured in the month of October, of the
SAID year, by French privateer, and re-
captured a few days after by the United
S;ateN' ship Pickering, which took her into
'he island Of 5t. Christophers, where she
was condemned ON tie ground Of being re-
captured, whereby the owner only obtained
about one eighth part of the vessel and
cargo.
The American government ought to be
held for this measure, having by their in
structions of the 18th of March, 1893. au-
thorised her armed vessels to re-capture
all prizes taken by the French privateers
The scntence Of condemnation, pronounced,
appears also, to contain an inadmissible APP
p.ication Of the American laws, which do
nat relate 20 the re capture of neutral yes
'e's. The two ACCOMPANYING printed docu-
meats, prove that MIR. Madison, then Sc,

MR.. MONROE 70 AR. FOSTER.

DefGrfDent Of State, June g., 1912.
SIR have had the honor to- receive your
letter of the 4th instant. The receipt of that
of May 30th has already been acknow-
lodged.
AS these letters relate to the same subject,
the orders in council, l shall take both into
view, in this reply.
am not disposed to make any unneces-
sary difficulty, on account of the informally
of the document alluded to in the last let
ter. IF the declaration of the Prince Re-
gent was such as TO afford the satisfaction
desired, it would be received, in any form
entitled to credit, with great interest, as a
token of just and friendly sentiments in
your government towards the United states.
But nothing is seen in that act, of the cha
racter which you impute to it. Without re-
moving single objection to the principles
on which the orders In council were issued,
and have been maintained, it affords COM
plete justification of the demsnd heretofore
made on your government for their repeal.
The British government has complained
that the United States demanded the repeal
of the orders in council on a conditional re-
peal OF the French DEGREES, although the
French condition required nothing of Great
Britain which she ought not 70 have consent
cd to; and was, moreover, condition sub
sequent, and not precedent; and it now pro-
poses to repeal the orders in council conditi-
onally also, with this difference, that the
condition on which their repeal was to be
made, is a condition precedent and not sub
sequent, and is likewise one which e.. Bril-
tain has no right to claim.
This condition requires that the French
DEGREES shall be absolutely and unconditi-
onally repealed, that is, that they shall be
repealed according TO explanations given,
not only as they related to the United States,
but as to all other neutral nations; and also
as they prohibited commerce in British
manufactures, with the enemies of Great
Britain.
80 far as the French DEGREES violated the
neutral commerce Of the United States. we
had right to demand a repeal of them
To that extent we did demand their repeal
and obtained it. The repeal was declared
by an authentic and formal act Of the French
government, and communicated to this go
vernmcnt ny the minister pleuipotentiary OF
the United States at Paris, and to the Bri-
fish government by their minister plenipo-
Tertiary at London, and has moreover been
officially published within the United States
The authenticity of the repeal was placed
beyond all controversy, apd the official man
ncr IN WhIch it was communicated TO yOu
| goverpment ought TO have been satisfactory
