n, their ncement, and at the option Of the par
ty OF all such might arise in State courts
yolvny national questions, touching the faithful OBJ
seryance and discharge of the international obligations
of the L. 81 from such State tribunal TO the Fedora!
Judiciary. | am urged TO repeat at this time tins re-
commentator, by the receipt Of intelligence upon
which rely, that subject oil Great Britain residing III

ueeton with the expedition fitted out by the Canadian
authorities, by which the Caroline was destroyed
and WILL in all probability be subjected to trial IN the

state things, should his discharge be demanded by the
British, Government this Government is invested with
any control over the subject until the shall have
reached the court Of final resort OF The Stale OF New
York and been decided in that court; and although
such delay ought not, national point OF vew, to
give cause of umbage to Great Britain, yet the prompt
and instant rendering Of justice to foreign nations should
be placed among highest duties | cannot, there
fore in consideration of what properly became the
s. and in anticipation Of any demand from foreign
Government for the discharge Of Of its subjects,
fo,ego the duty Of repeating my Recommendation 10
