whose property has been condemned, he
ought to extend such revision TO the sem

been acquitted.
The undersigned taxes the liberty Of re-
marking, that the RECLAIM alton which has
n!.dc is The reclamation of the American
government against certain sentences of
Condemnation. passed OH American proper
Ity by tribunals appointed by his Danish ma
'leSty and acting under his authority the
American government finds itself aggreveu
By such decisions: is his majesty ,dissatisfi-
cd with the decisions of . contrary charac-
ter, by which American property has been
acquitted Certainly not yet only upon that
ground could his majesty desire revision OF
the sentences OF ACCUMULATION no question
now exists between the captor and the cap
tured--the question s-between government
and government; nor is it readily to be
conceived, that tribunals whose decisions
the government of the u. States has found
such ample and solid reasons to complain
OF, can in other cases, have done injustice
to his maJesty's subjects: it is because the
tribunals have been partial to his majesty
subjects; because they are not courts of arr
bitration, in which the United States has
its equal representation, and hence have
acted on principles the justice of which the
U. States does not acknowledge, that a re-
VISION oi their sentences against the proper
ty OF American citizens may be reasonably
proposed by the American government, and
may be acceded to by his Majesty, without
r,la .,,,.,
subjects. These are the grounds on which
similar revisions have been demanded in o.
Their countries, and have been granted, and
compensation obtained without its ever liav-
ing been proposed that sentences of acquit-
tai, which have only tended to diminish the
amount OF the injuries complained of, should
be also revised.
The undersigned cannot, therefore, but
hope that his Danish Majesty, on a reconsi-
deration OF this important subject, will see
ut to adopt some plan with respect to the
matters complained of, which may satisfy
the just expectations of the United States
He has thought that ite,est comp"rted with
the friendly and Conciliatory dispositions of
his government, not to propose any which
should interfere with such arrangements,
as having due regard to the object it might
be most convenient to his Majesty to make,
and therefore in his no,e of Nov. 4th, sta
ted, what he Will here repeat, /" that the
mode, the means, and, to certain extent,

and straight slair-csses, which terminated in
the lobbies of the boxes three entrances to
the Pit, one in the front and one on each side
and four entrances to two Galleries, two on
each side These avenues were firm and
commodious, and in their construction pre-
sented every facility for escape, when any
danger assailed the audience Miserable re-
verse in the late Richmond Theatre, but
one entrance to the Boxes and Pit, and that
so narrow, that two persons could scarcely
pass at the same time; the way then lying
through gloomy passage to a narrow wind
ing stair case, which terminated in narrow
Lobby. II is, therefore, evident, that this
ever to be lamented loss, which has at once
deprived your city Of some of its brightest or
naments, and desolated many families, is
wholly attributable to the mal-construction of
the late Theatre, which certainly offered no
means ofspeedy escape. The rapidity of the
Immigration must have been caused by the
unfinished state of the building, there being
no plastered ceiling or wall to prevent the
communication of lame.
The committee cannot close their melan-
choly labours without expressing one hope,
that irreparaole as our own calamities have
been we may not have suffered altogether in
vain that our own misfortunes may serve as
beacons to the rest of our countrymen, and
that no Theatre should be permitted to be O.
pened in the other cities of the u s. until eve
ry facility has been procured for the escape
OF the audience.
