Excerpt from State Papers and Publick Documents of the United States, Vol. 12: From the Accession of George Washington to the Presidency, Exhibiting a Complete View of Our Foreign Relations Since That Time; Including Confidential Documents These remarks and others equally obvious, cannot fail to convince you, as I am sure they will convince the whole world, that there was not the smallest motive for proceeding to acts of violence, on either of the two points, which form the subject of this note, and on which the President has touched in his message. I hope that the intentions of his excellency will notdifiei from this opi nion; and, as well to avoid the disagreeable consequences which might arise from a misunderstanding, as to commu nicate to the king, my master, the true state of things, I have to request of you, sir, as I now do, a precise and satisfactory explanation on the above mentioned two points, namely, of the measures taken by the President in relation to them, and of his intentions upon the subject. I flatter myself, that you will have the goodness to give me the said explanation as speedily as the case requires; and in the mean time, allow me to renew the assurances of my high consideration and respect.
