A doubt was entertained whether the act
Jbf Congress applied to the IJritisb cojo :es
en this continent, as well as to those in 0c
West Indies, but as 'the act of-Parliament,
opeueil the intercourse equally with both,
tudit was the manifest intention of Con
press, as well as the obvious policy of the (J.
States, that the provisions of the act of Pax
liiment should be met in equal extent, on the'
part tf the U. States, and as also the act of
Congress was supposed to vesit in jhe Presi
dent some discretion in therexecution of it, I
thought it advisable .to. giCfc it a correspond

Should the constitutional 'sanction of .the
Senate be? given to the ratification of -the
convention with France, legislative provision
will ho necessary to cary it fully into, effect;
.as it likewise will be to continue in force; on
sich conditions as may he deemed just and
proper, ne intercourse which has aeen open
ed between the U. States and the British co
lonies. Every light in, the possession ofjjhe
Executive, will, in due time, be communica
ted on both subjects. V . vi" .'
testing' essentially on a basis of reciprocal
nd equal advantae, it has been the object
of the Executive, m transactions wjth other
powers, to meet the propositions of each
with a liberal spirit, believing that thereby
' the interest of our country would be most
eirecwially promoted. Thi course has been
.vsterr.aucally pursued in the late occurren
ces with France and fcreat-Britain," and in
stnet accord with the Views" of the legisla
twc. A confulent hope is entertained, that,
fc the arrangement thus commenced with
ei4ch, all difiVences respecting navig-ation St
connr.erce with the dominions in question,
