20 CORRESPONDENCE AND PUBLIC PAPERS.
some overture of this kind, you will inform them that the
Government of the United States will not derogate from our
treaties and engagements with France, and that experience
has shown that we can be honest in our duties to the British
nation without laying ourselves under any particular restraints as to other nations; and 2d. That no treaty of
commerce be concluded or signed contrary to the foregoing
prohibition.
Besides the papers and documents mentioned in the
former parts of these instructions, you have received your
commission as Envoy Extraordinary; letters of credence to
the King and Queen of England, the latter of which, being
without superscription, you will address as may appear
proper, and deliver it or not, as you find to be right on such
occasions; four sets of powers, one general, comprehending
all the points to be negotiated with Great Britain, the other
three special, for each separate point, in order that you may
be prepared to exhibit your authority altogether, or by
detachment, as may be most convenient; copies of Lord
Dorchester's speech to the Indians, the authenticity of
which, though not absolutely ascertained, is believed ; and
of certain affidavits respecting the British interference with
our Indians; and a cipher.
You are too well acquainted with the nature of the great
functions which you are called to exercise to render it
necessary for me to add the earnest wish of the President
of the United States that your communications to the
Secretary of State should be frequent and full, and that you
should correspond with our ministers abroad upon any
interesting occasion which may demand it. For the latter
of these purposes you will avail yourself of Mr. Pinckney's
ciphers.
Your expenses will be paid, together with the allowance
of thirteen hundred and fifty dollars per annum for a
secretary.
