Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urges Knox to write him as soon as he can, or make Lucy Knox overcome her natural timidity and write him. He has heard of the General (Charles) Scott expedition in the Miami Country and of the casualties Scott suffered. Discusses in great detail the Turk-Russian war along with other foreign affairs. The Russians are not far from Constantinople; the Empress (Catherine the Great) seeks to drive the Turks completely out of Europe and listens to no offers of negotiations. Prince Potemkin said that the Empress would consider stopping the war on several conditions; ceding Moldavia and Wallachia to Russia, Crimea would be independent. Says Turkey is very unlikely to agree to these conditions. England, Prussia and Holland will assist Turkey in the spring. France I do not know what to say about, I wish her happiness, and although the revolution appears to have broken the necks of numberless existing evils which were disgraceful to that charming and enlightening nation, yet it appears to me the business is far from being completed. Fears the nobility and the clergy will ally themselves with internal enemies to the present revolution, who act secretly, and watch with unremitting malignance to throw discord in every proceeding of the national assembly. Writes, they are that same party who have put the King in the way of temptation to commit some act by which they might deprive him of his life, in order to promote their own personal views - these characters make a formidable body in the a national Councils of France at this moment and from those she has more to apprehend from foreign powers or Frenchmen openly declar'd enemies. Notes, the Marquis de la Fayette has been the head of another party, who have seen all their motives and opposed them - it has been sufficiently strong as yet to do it successfully, to him the King and his family may be said to be indebted for existing even as they do... Encloses (not included) Mr. Burkes pamplet [sic] relative to the revolution, it is a strong display of his acquaintance with, and the powers of the English language - if he were council highly [illegible] against Freedom and France he could not have said more, I am persuaded you will be pleased with the stile, while you condemn the reasoning - it has been read with avidity, many thousand copies have been sold, and it has the honor to have twelve or thirteen opponents. [text loss] one observes he is an host in himself and may be called Edmund Ironsides. Believes the French noblemen in Dublin are disaffected. Writes, The only serious application I have had for the lands has been from a Mr. O'Connor who is associated with the several roman Catholic Gentln in the County of [Leitrium]. They have purchased of the Dayton family of N. Jersey 40,000 acres on the Banks of the Patowmack for about 6,000 sterling. They would pay for the St. Lawrence lands over time in Bills on London.

Book Synopsis The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Volume 18 by : Thomas Jefferson
Download or read book The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Volume 18 written by Thomas Jefferson and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 739 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 18, covering part of the final session of the First Congress, shows Jefferson as Secretary of State continuing his effective collaboration with James Madison in seeking commercial reciprocity with Great Britain by threatening--and almost achieving--a retaliatory navigation bill. During these few weeks Jefferson produced a remarkable series of official reports on Gouverneur Morris' abortive mission to England, on the first case of British impressment of American seamen to be noticed officially, on the interrelated problems of Mediterranean trade and the American captives in Algiers, and on the French protest against the tonnage acts. All of these state papers reflected the consistency of Jefferson's aim to bolster the independence of the United States, to promote national unity, and even, as his report on the Algerine captives indicates, to lay the foundations for American maritime power. This volume reveals Jefferson's continuing interest in a unified system of weights and measures, his effort to create a mint, and his concern over executive proceedings in the Northwest Territory. It contains also his suggestions for the President's annual message and his first encounter, at the hands of Noah Webster, with Federalist ridicule of his interest in science. Despite his heavy official duties and the confusion into which his household was thrown when 78 crates of books, wines, and furniture arrived from France, Jefferson never failed to write his promised weekly letter to his daughters and son-in-law under the alternating plan which obligated each of them to write only once every three weeks. The record of this time of extraordinary pressure shows that Jefferson retained his usual equanimity except when, after a full two months, he failed to receive any scrap of writing from the little family at Monticello.

This book was released on 1791 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William had previously sent a packet to Knox that included Paynes [Thomas Paine] pamphlet in answer to Burke on the french revolution. William tells his brother, therefore the present is only to enclose you the papers since then, by which you will see from the debates in the English House of Lords and Commons and the preparations making, that Great Britain is about incurring a few more millions of debt, and (if the Empress should prove inflexible which in all probability she will) plunging the greater part of Europe into a War by sea and land - However distressing to humanity such an event may be, it appears America may keep herself entirely out of the scrape, and supply naval stores Iron etc. which were supplied from the Baltic, and once in possession of that advantageous trade by proper management may keep it. He notes that the impressment of seamen has begun in England and will likely spread to Ireland soon in which case, William says, there will be a repetition of those inconveniences which existed in England and here during the Spanish business, that is, impressing seamen from the vessels of Foreign nations, and leaving it to be proved afterwards that they were unwarrantedly taken - the Americans feel more of this from speaking the same language than any other nation - The English in the late business in many instances took sailors who had resided many years in America, married and settled there, but born in the British dominion; indeed they looked on every man born in the territories belonging at present to England as their lawful subjects, had their time of residence been long or short in America - William says that an old law of Britain prevents any British citizen from expatriating himself . Comments he will do what he can in Ireland for American sailors so impressed and plans to write to the Secretary of State [Thomas Jefferson] on the matter. In a postscript, tells Knox that the Whig Club here have resolved to have Paines pamphlet disseminated throughout the kingdom at their own expence.
