Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's cx

Dispatches We're received by the
American government from the gov

whether it was with it's approval
american citizens traded with the brig
ands of Hespaniola. and if they were
AUTHORIZED to arm their vessels.
James Monroe, American minister to
England, had an interview with the
British secretary of state for foreign
affairs on the subject of the capture
of American vessels. Mr. Monroe was
assured there was nothing in the dispo-
sition of the British government which
would admit of an unfriendly measure
against the United States.
