256 CORRESPONDENCE AND PUBLIC PAPERS.
P. S.—Be pleased to present my compliments to
Mr. Adams. I shall do myself the pleasure of writing
to him by the next opportunity. When we left Philadelphia Mr. and Mrs. Bache with their children (which
are really fine ones) were in perfect health.
JAY TO COUNT DE VERGENNES.1
Cadiz, 27th January, 1780.
Sir:
It is with very sensible pleasure that I commence a
correspondence with a Minister, of whose disposition
and abilities to promote the happiness of my country
we have received repeated proofs, and on a subject
that affords His Most Christian Majesty an opportunity of perceiving the desire and endeavours of the
United States to become cordial and steadfast friends
and allies to an illustrious branch of his royal house.
By the treaties subsisting between His Most Christian Majesty and the United States of America, His
Most Christian Majesty, in consequence of his intk
mate union with the King of Spain, did expressly
reserve to his Catholic Majesty the power of ac*
ceding to the said treaties, and to participate in
their stipulations at such time as he should judge
proper. It being well understood, nevertheless, that
if any of the said stipulations should not be agreeable
to the King of Spain, his Catholic Majesty might
propose other conditions analogous to the principal
aim of the alliance, and conformable to the rules of
equity, reciprocity, and friendship. And the Deputy
1 Minister of Foreign Affairs at the French Court.
