 ditors cannot now obtain, and atlually have and receive full and adequate Coinpenlation for the 
 LolRs and Damages which they have thereby fuflained; it is agreed, that in all fuch Cales 
 where full Compenlation for fuch Lolfes and Damages cannot, for whatever Reafon, beacii- 
 ally obtained, had and received by the laid Creditors in the ordinary Courfe of Jaflice, the 
 Vn:tcd Sti7ks will tn:ike full and complete Compenfation for the fauie to the laid Creditors : But it 
 isdifliiitlly undrrflood that this Provihon is to extend to fuch Lollcs only as have been occali- 
 oncd by the lawful Impediments aforefaid, and is not to extend to Lodes occafioned by fuc:!i 
 Infolvcncy of the Debtors, or other Caufes as would equally ha\-c operated to produce fuch

 For the Purpofe of afccit. lining the Amount of any fuch Lollcs and Damages, Five Commif- 
 fioners fJiall be appointed, and autlioriztd to meet and aft in Manner following, viz. Twoof them 
 fhall be appointed by His Majefty, Two of them by the Prefident of th.- Viukd Stain, by and 
 with the Advj .c and Content of the Senate thereof, and the T'lfth by the unanimous Voico of the 
 other Four; and if they Ihould not agree in fuch Choice, then the Commifhoners named by thu 
 Two Parties Ihall rcfpeClively propoCe One Perfon. and of the Two Names fo propofed One 
 fhall be drawn by Lot in the Prefente of the Four original Commidioners; 
 
 When the Five Commifhouers thus appointed fliali firft meet, they ihall, before they pro- 
 ceed to a6l refpe6fively, take the following Oath or Affirmation, in the Prelonce of each other, 
 which Oath or Aflinnation, being fo taken and duly attclledj fhnU be entered on the Record- 
 of their I'roceedings, viz. I, A. li. One of the Commilfioners appointed in purfuance of the 
 Si.xth Article of the Treaty of Amity, Commerce and Navigation, between His /iri/a/irt?c^ Ma-

 ly, imparliallv, and c^irefully examine, and, to the be ft of my judgment, accordin^j to [ullicii 
 and Equity, decide all fuch Conplaints as under the faid Article Ihall be preferred to the fait 
 Commiinoners; and that 1 will forbear to a6t as a Coinmillioncr in any Cafe in. which 1 may be 
 perfonally interefled. 
 
 Three of the faid Commiffioners fliall conflitute a Board, and fliall have Power to do any. 
 A£l appertaining to the faid Commilhon, providv.'d that One of the Commillioners named un 
 each Side, and the Fifth Commilfioner fhall be prefent; and all Deciftons fliall be made by the 
 Majority of the Voices of tlie Commilfioners then prei'ent. Eighteen Months from the D\y on 
 which the faid Commifhoners form a Board, and be ready to proceed to Buflnels, are afligned 
 for receiving Complaints and Applications; but they are neverthelefs authoriz:d in any parti- 
 cular Cafes, in which it fhall appear to tliem to be reafonable and jufl, to extend the faid Term 
 of Eighteen Months, for any Term not exceeding Six Months, after the Expiration theeoF. 
 The faid Commiffioners fliall fiifl meet at PkiladeLpfua; buc they fhall have Power to aijoiirn 
 from Place to Place as they fhall fee Caufe. 
 
 The faid- Commifhoners, in examining the Complaints and Applications fo prefen-ed to them,

 that every Veflel lo circumdanced maybe tutvied away from fuch Port or Place, but Die

 I AM honoured u'iili y.-mv% of //,V';7;/7 30. Miiu; ol' tl.c jlli ol t!;:u Month allured you, lliat 
 Meaiares were taken li r e.Ncluvlin^ Ironi all luriiicr Alylum in our Ports VeUels iirnied in.. 
 them to cruize on Nations with whieli we iirc at I'e.ue, ;incl Un tiic Jl<'Uorati(;n of ilie I'rize.s, 
 the Lovely I.al.^, rnnre Wiliiani Henry, and tiie j.ine, ot Dublin; and that Hiould ihij Nka- 
 lures lor Rellilulion iail in ihcir Ktletl. tlie i'reiident conlidered Jt as incunibent on the Uiuud. 
 Slaksio jnake Conipenl'ation ior tlic Vell'els. 
 
 \Vc are bound by our Trtatie.s witfj Thrrc of tlie lielligercnt Na:ion.s, hv all the Means in 
 our Pou'er, to prctttt ar.d dtfmd their \'cllels and KHVfts in onr Ports or Waters, or ofi ih-; 
 Seas near our SliDic;;, ami to rei:o\'fr and rtflore th.e fanie !o the ii,^Iit Owners when taken frotu 
 them. If all the Mians in our Powerarc uferl. and fail in their Ell'ecl, we arc not bound, by our 
 Treaties withihole N'.ttious to niakr Coni[>vnr,t()oti. 
 
 'rJiou;,h we have no liiriiar Treaty with GirtU Britain, it was the Opinion of the Prcfidcnt, 
 that we Ihould uH; towajds that X.uioa the lame Rule, which, under tliis ArtieJe, >vas to ;.^overu' 
 lis with the other Nations; and even to extend it to Captures made on the Ili^h Seas, and 
 "biouqht into our Ports, if done by Vellels which had been armed within them. 
 
 Ilavmt/, ior partieular Realons, forbore to ufe all the Means in ouv Power for the Rcftitutioii- 
 of the Three Vellels nienticjiied in my Letter of Augujl ytb, the Prefulent thought it inrutnbent 
 on the United TlJics to make Ct)n)penfation lor thcin. And though nothing was faid in that. 
 Tetter of other V'ellcis taken under like Circiiinllances, and brought in after the 5th c' June, and 
 before the Date of that Letter, yet, when the fame Forbearance had taken Place, it was and is 
 liis Opinion, that Compenfation would be ccjualiy due. 
 
 As to Prizes made under the fame Circunillanees, and brought in after the Date of that I-et- 
 ter, the Prelident determined, tliat all the Means in our Power fiiould be ided for their RefH- 
 tution. Lfthefefarl, as we Ihould not be bound by our Treaties to make Coinpenfation to the 
 other Powers in the analogous Cafe, he did not mean to give an Opinion that it ought to he 
 done to Great Britain. But ftill, if any Cafe fliall arife fubfequent to that Date, the Circum- 
 ftances of which Ihall pliice rhcni on liinilar Ground wilh thofc before it, the Prefident would 
 think Compenfation equally incumbent on the U;rt/((/ iiiales. 
 
 Inllruflions are given to the Oovernors of the dilFerent States, to ufe all the Means in their 
 Power for rcfloiing Pri/e.s of this lall Defcription found within their Ports; though they will of 
 Courfe take Mealures to be informed of them, and the general Government has given them the 
 Aid of the CuIl<jrn-IIoufe OUicers for this Purpofe, yet, you will be lenlible i>f the Importance 
 of multiplying the Channels of their Information, as far as fhajl depend on yourfelf, or any 
 Perfon under your Dneftion, in order that the (Governors. may nle the Means in their Power. 
 ior making Reftitulion. 
 
 Without Knowledge of the Capture they cannot reflore it. It would always be bell to give 
 the Notice to them direftly ; but any Information which you fliall be jDleafed to fend to nie alfa 
 at any Time fiia II be forwarded to them as cpiickly as Diflancewill pjermit. 
 
 Hence you will perceive, Sir, that the PreUdent contemplates Reltitution or Cotnpenfation in 
 the Cafes- before the 7th of y^.v^it,^; and after that Date, RelUtution, if it can be efFttted by ;iny 
 Means in our Power: And that it will be important that you fhould.luflantiate the Fact, that 
 fuch Prizes arc in our Ports or Waters. 
 
 YourLiflof the Privateers illicitly armed in our Ports, is, I believe, correct. 
 
 With refpeO: to LofTes by Detention, Walle, or Spoliation, fuftained by VefTels taken as 
 before-mentioned, between the Dates oii June i^th and Augnjt 7th, it is propofedj as a provifionab 
 M" ire, that the Collector of the Cullonis ol the Dillrid, and the B ritijh Con{u\, or any other 
 P*. :'m you pleafj, fhali appoint Perfon s to eflablifh the V^ilue of the Veffel and Cargo at the 
 Tui»> f her Capture, and of her Arrival in the Port into which flie is brought, according to.

 by the Limitation tliercin contained, at the End of Two Years from the Si.^nin^ tin: Preliminary 
 or other Articles of Peace which lhall terminate the prefent War in which His Majedy is cni;a;>- 
 ed; it is apjiecd, that proper Meafures lhall by Concert be taken for brinj,iii;f the Siibje£l of that

 ,-;S that new Arrangements on that Head may by that Time be perfedled, and ready to take Place. 
 But if it fliould unfortunately happen, that His Majefty and the t^/ii/^df Sifr/^^ fliould not be able 
 to agree on fuch new Arrangements, in that C.ile ail the Articles of this Treaty, except the firll

 Laftly, This Treaty, when the fame fhall have been ratified by His Majefty, and by the

 pedive Ratifications mutually exchanged, fhall be binding and obligatory on His Majefty, and 
 on the faid States, and (hall be by them rcfpe£lively executed and obferved widi Pundluality,

 better to facilitate Intercourfe and obviate DiflRcultie.i. that other Articles be propofed and added 
 to this Treaty, which Articles, from 'Want of Time a.id other Circumftances, cannot now be 
 pKrfe6lcd, it is agreed, that the faid Parties will, from Time to Time, readily treat of and con- 
 cerning fuch Articles, and will fincerely endeavour fo to form them, as that they may conduce 
 to mutual Convenience, and tend to promote mutual Satisfaflion and FriendOiip ; and that the 
 faid Articles, after having been duly ratified, fhall be added to, and make a Part of this Treaty. 
 In Faith whereof. We, the underfigncd Minifters Plenipotentiary of His Majefty the King of

 the Lovely I.al's, Prince William Henry, and the jane, of Dublin; and that ihould the Mea- 
 litres for Reflitntion fail in their Elfetl, the Prehdent conlidt-red it as incumbent on the UaUed. 
 ^Liirslo make Compcnfation for the Veilt'Is. 
 
 Wc arc bound by (jur Treaties with Tiirce of t'le lielligerent Nations, b-- all the Means in 
 our Power, to prt.'tcf.t and defend their V( Ilels anrl EfFifts in our Ports or W'ateis, or on llu;

 ot ihe Three Vellels mentioned in my Letter of Avgitjl ylh, the Prehdent thouiht ir incumbent 
 on the United TtaU!' to make Compc^'^iuiou for thum. Anel thoui^h nothing- w.is laid in that-

 before the Date of thai Letter, yet, when the fame Forbearance had taken Place, it was and ii. 
 Ids Opinion, fliat Compenlafion woukl be equally due. 
 
 As to Pfizcs made under the fame Ci'cumllances, and brout^ht in after the Date of that Let- 
 ter, the Prefident determined, that all the Mean.; in our Power fhould be uled for their Refli- 
 tution. If tht'fe fail, ;;s we ihould not be bound by our Treaties to make Co'npenf.ition to the

 of multiplyin;^ th.: Channels of their Inlormation, as far as Ihall depend on yourfelf, or any
