While France persists in her refusal to coin- ply with the terms of a treaty, the ob ject of which was, by removing all causes of mutual complaint, to renew ancient feeling of friendship, and to unite the two nations in the bonds of amity and of a mutually beneficial commerce, she cannot justly complain if we adopt such peareful remedies as the Iaw of Nations and the circum stance of the case may authorize and demand.

It has al ways been his intention that the Lega tion of the United States should leave France if the treaty were not fulfilled.
