the Government Of Great Britain hostile ia
YOU during the late war. and when the
President of the United States asked that

were ready 10 man them. and then they
were sent forth ON the high seas almost in
full view of the authorities, to prey on our
commerce. British gold was turned out

were recognized aS belligercnts and were
aided and assisted by them during this tli-
