lhe President has seen. with great sur
prise and Concern, that the government of
france has rsade no accommodation to the
y. States on amy of the important and just
grounds OF complaint to which you had call
led Its attention according to Your instruc.
lions, given at the time of your departure,
and repeated in several communications
since. 1t appears, that the same cypress
sire restraints on our commerce were still
IN force; that the system Of license was
|persevered in; that indemnity had not been
made for spoliations. nor any pledge given
to inspire confidence that any would be
made. More recent wrongs, on the contra.
~, and OF very outrageous character, have
been added to those with which you were
acquainted when you left the U. States. By
documents forwarded to you in nay letter OF
2ist March, you were informed of the waste
OF our commerce, made by a squadron from
Nantz IN January last, which burnt many OF
our vessels trading 10 the Peninsula. For
| these you were also instructed to demand
redress.
tits hoped that the government OF France,
regarding with a prudent foresisht the pro,
oaoie course of events, will have some sem
I sihility to its interest, if it has none to the
CLAIMS OF justice, on the par. of this coan-
| try.
On the French decree Of the 2sth Of A.
Pri' 1911, shall forbear to make any Oh
sersations which have already occurred, un.
TIL all the circumstances connected with i,
