Gentlemen of the Houle of
Reprefwmtives,
In confequcnce of your requeit to me,
conveyed in your resolution of the 4th
of this month, I directed the Secretary
of State to lay before me, copies of the
papers intended. These copies togeth
er with his report, I now transmit to

JOHN ADAMS.
United States, Feb. 7, 1800.
Department of State,
February 6, 1800.
The Secretary of State has prepared,
as direfted, and now refpeftlully sub
mits to the President of- the United
States, copies of papers which probably
were contemplated by the House of
Rqpfefentatives in their resolve of the
4th inst. although no requisition, as the
resolve foppofes, has ever been receiv
ed, nor any communication made to the
Judge of the diltrift court of South
Carolina, concerning any man by the
iwtneof Jonathan Robbins. But
by the proceedings before that judge, as
they have been published, it appears
that a feamcn named Thomas Nash, the
fubjeft of the Britiih minifter’a requisi
tion, did assume the name of Jonathan
Robbins, and made oath, “that he was
ana.ive of the Rate ofConnetticur&born
in Danbury in t has ft&te.’'TlieSecretar.y,
therefore, besides the requifition,and the
copies of his. letter to the judge of the
diftrift court of South Carolina, and of
the judge’s anf-.ver, has prepared and
herewith cnciofes, copies of the certifi
cates of the felett men and town-clerk
of Danbury, and exrrafts of letters from
Admiral bir Hyde Parker, fatisfaftori
ly proving, that the said Thomas NaQt,
calling bimfelf Jonathan Robbins, who,
on the requifiiion of the British Mini!-,
ter, was delivered up by the judge a
forefaid, with thcaflent of the President
of the United States, was not an Amer
ican ci’izen, but a native IriChnrai* who
10 his other crimes added perjury, in
the hope thereby to efeape the punrih
ment due to piracy and murder. The
original t.crrificates of the fejeft men
aad town-clerk, of Danbury,’ are in the
Secretary’s potted!on ; and he has com
pared rhe extraft of Admiral Parker’s
letter to Mr. Litton, with the original,
and the extraft of the Admiral’s ietter
to the Britiih consul at Charleston,
with the pattage as recited in the Con
sul’s original letter to Mr. Litton.

Sir,
Mr. Liston, tht Mintfterofhis Bri

mas Nalh, who was a iexman on board
the Britiih frigate Hermione, and who ;
he is informed is now. a prisoner in the !
jail of Charleston, lhould be delivered t
up. I have stated the matrer to the j
President of the United Burtes. He j
conftders an offence committed on board ,
a public fliip of war on the high Teas to j
have been committed within the ju- (
riltliftion of the nation tp whum the
fliip belongs. Nalh is charged, it is j
understood, with piracy and murder, ‘
committed by him on board the above
mentioned British frigate, on the high
leas, and coufequently 44 within rhe fu
rifdiftion’* of his Britannic Majetty ;
and therefore, by the 27th article of the
treaty of amity with Great Britain,
Nalh ought to he delivered up, as re- ;
quelled by the Britiih Minister, provi- j
ded fudi evidence of his criminality be ‘
produced as by the laws of the U. S. or [

LONDON, Dee. 18.
Yesterday we received additional
sets of French papers, but none later
than the 12th. The veffils in which
they arrived at Dover on Monday
morning, we understand, brought none
more recent. Three British frigates,
which had been cruizing off the coat! of
France, ‘however, it was yesterday re
ported, had brought intelligence that
the Chouans, notvrithftanding the ar
mift.ice, are in con fide r able force. It
was even said that they had taken by
• force the finall I fund of Normontier,
at the moutn of the Loire, and that they
had iikewife obtained poifeffion of fe*
veral batteries on the eoaft. These re
ports are probably exaggerations, if at
all true, rcfpcCfing the particular ad
vantages stated to have been gained. Ie
is very likely indeed that the Insur
gents, in correfpondrr.ee with this coun- ■;
try, would make fonie movements on
the coast to facilitate the landing of any
ammunition or arms sent to their assis
tance, and to transport these articles into
the difaffeCted diftrifts; and this may
have given rife to the report of theif
having attempted enterprises of greatcr r
maguitude which, in the present Rate of
their affairs, would not much promote
their cause. They can make an effec
tual diverfton by dcfultory war and
not by fixing to a particular point the
attention of Republicans.—Under the?.
system of police now employed with
them the violence of their humility, it
is probable, will be allayed. It was.
immediately provoked by an abford,
risrotir, an may be removed by a differ
ent treatment.
The good undemanding which fob- •
itfts between Prufiia and the French

poinrments, more titan 3000 Mincers
of wosfhip and Pallors be reiiy*d trotn
