INTR OD r( 'TOR T NOTE. 
 
 This Supplementaiy Calendar of Letters to and from 
 Jefferson is rendered necessary by the accession of 
 certain niannsrripts from the Lil)rary of Cono-ress, in 
 1897, three 3'ears after the publication of Bulletin No. 
 y, containing the second part of the Calendar of the 
 original J(^tferson collection in the custody of the Bureau 
 of RoUsand Library. InDecember, ls97, the Librarian 
 of Congress delivered these additional papers to the 
 Depai'tment of State with the following statement: 
 
 These Jeffereon papers were went to the Joint Committee on 
 the Ijil)rary, with other;^, upon an appUeation of tlie heii'S to have 
 returned to them the papers of a private nature, whicli had ))een 
 in pOf^t^essi<j» of the (jovermut-nt jiendinii: tlic selection of material 
 to be published. An examination of all the papers resulted in the 
 return by tlie committee of a selection of the pa])ers which were 
 unquestionably private, to ]\Iiss Sarah N. Randoliih, representing 
 the heirs, leaviny; all which were of a public nature, or jiartly 
 public and ]iartly private, in the hands of the rommittee. 
 
 There are, for official reasons — as a matter of admin- 
 istrative convenience — separately calendared here, also, 
 many letters (duplicated to a certain extent in the 
 Department's current tiles) which appeared only in 
 groups in Bulletin Ko. S, being anonjnnous letters; 
 letters fi'om C. \V. F. Dumas, and letters from the 
 heads of the several Executive Departaients during 
 Jefferson's administrations, (mtered under their proper 
 names, as well as addresses to the President com- 
 mending his administration and asking him to accept 
 a third tei-m, which were lately acquired from another 
 bureau of the Department. Finall_y, this number of 
 the Bulletin contains an index of the three parts of 
 the Jefferson Calendar contained in the Bulletin, Nos. 
 G, 8, and 10.

 JSili, .^farch 10, Washington. The answers from the governor and 
 intendant at New Orleans to the Spanish minister's letter 
 were received by him yesterday. The latter acknowledges 
 he took his measures im his own judgment merel_v; it appears 
 that his determination had not been changed b}' the tirst 
 interposition of Yrujo; thinks it proper to call on Yrujo for 
 the peremptory injunctions whicli he seemed willing to under- 
 take and is sending him a note for that purpose which is 
 approved by his colleagues. The Dey of Algiers refuses the 
 cash payment and insi.sts on the stores, M'itli much irritation.

 ISOJ, M'lrcli 14, ]Vii.-i]iiii(jfon. Hopes the letter from Yrujo, printed 
 in the ^Morning's (xazette, will do good. Pichon has written a 
 strong letter to the governor of Louisiana, summoning him on 
 his rcs])onsi)jility to see that the cession of that province to 
 France be notaffected nor the amical)le relations of the Repub- 
 lic to the United States be endangered by a perseverance of 
 the intendant in his breach of the treaty. Has just received 
 anil deciphered the inclosed letters from Mr. Livingston. 
 Unless a letter be lost, thinks it remarkable nothing is said of 
 the written assurance, which was to be given on the return of 
 the C'liief CVmsnl, that the Spanisti treaty would be faithfully 
 oliserved by France, etc. O'Brien says the Dey threatens war 
 if the stores be not sent, etc. Series 3, vol. 8, No. 68.

 1S03, August JO. Acknowledges various communications. The 
 letters from Paris are important; but he sees no wish on the 
 part of the French Government to retreat from the bargain

 liOo, August i?S, Sundai/. Returns IMr. Gallatin's and :\Ir. Barnes's 
 letters. As Thornton speaks without the known sentiments 
 of his Government, has thought it best not to answer his let- 
 ter. Will take no action till they (^Madison and Jefferson) 
 meet. Presumes the British Government will not act with 
 the United States in the matter of impressments of seamen. 
 They would sign no convention without reserving this right 
 in the narrow seas. This being inadmissible, it was doubtless 
 with a view to preventing any arrangement. Derieux is to be 
 paid for his actual expenses. Pederson to have the privileges 
 requested bv Olsen as his substitute. Wishes INhmroe's confi- 
 dential letter to these Senators put into Nicholas's hands. 
 Contrasting this with his public letter will show that his 
 liberality placed him in a difficult situation. Is of opinion 
 that King's prejudice colored his remarks about Erving.

 1803, Septeiiiher 12. Comments on the inclosed letter from Yrujo. 
 Thinks it a singular circumstance that three weeks after the 
 sale of Louisiana the French ambassador should have given 
 the answer stated. Spain could not be expected to undertake 
 to enter such a caveat. Could it be supposed to be the result 
 of a secret understanding with France, or even with Great 
 Britain, the incident would assume a very serious aspect. Can 
 only be explained by supposing Spain wished to obtain a 
 price for her conduct and cimtest the extension of Louisiana 
 to the limits she knows we have in view. It is presumed our 
 minister in Paris will have called on the French Government 
 to prevent any obstruction to the fulfillment of the treaty, etc.

 ]Mr. Pinckney is apparently "teazing" the Spanish Govern- 
 ment on the subject, which was not to be touched on without 
 the presence or advice of Mr. Monroe. It seems evident he 
 is spurred on from an intermediate quarter, from obvious 
 motives. Has written to Claiborne to search the archives of 
 the province for any documents applicable to Louisiana. Has

 French Government to take no further interest in the twenty

 dtlpliid by our agents abroad; remarks specially on the pro- 
 ceeding of the consul at St. Petersburg and the result of it. 
 An acknowledgment due; ])0ssibly only a letter from the

 He may fairly be told that no approjiriation has such an object, 
 because the legislatures are not presumeil to have contem-

 hitherto pursued. It will not be amiss, however, to avoid nar- 
 rowing the scope of the appropriations to foreign intercourse,

 an American, and takes the tf)ne of a minister jjleniiMitentiary 
 in his answer to the communications of the foreign ofhce. 
 ^Maurice's letter suggests anew the value of ii, consular agency 
 at Santo Domingo. He gives a favorable account of the dis- 
 positiiin of the Spanish authorities in Cuba. Hojies Turreau's 
 letter to Ferrand will correct the abuse of the ileiree of No- 
 vember 21. The develo]iment of CJolonel Smith might have 
 been expected from the scope of the second article. Is per-

 close<l letter from General Turreau. The recpest contained 
 therein is not consistent with the understanding which regu- 
 lated the former compliances. Necessity is pleaded, and as- 
 surance is given that it will be the last. The bills being in 
 the form inclosed, will be at shorter sight and drawn on funds 
 lying at Paris in the name of Beaujoin. Mr. (iallatin drops 
 you a line on the subject. Incloses several letters. That 
 from the consul at Curasao explains the policy of the British 
 Government in protecting Spanish America against oriental 
 manufactures passing through our ports. The object in taking 
 possession of the island is to secure the market to our trade 
 in those articles. The revolution in the British cabinet was 
 taking effect and Lord Melville was at the head of the admi- 
 ralty. Series 3, vol. 9, No. 82. [4° 2 pages.]

 si>cction, made the task more tedious. Discusses certain arti- 
 cles of the British treaty. Is apprehensive that nothing will 
 be done as to impressments. \Vill await his return and de- 
 termination as to how far it may be admissible ti) autliorize 
 an agreement not to employ British seamen, within certain

 1S07, Stjilt'iiilicr S. The intelligence from England shows that an 
 arrangenient had been made ])robably in July, liefore the 
 arrival of Purviance, whether an informal, provisional, or a 
 positive convention is uncertain. In anj' event, it must have 
 included our object with respect to impressments, since in- 
 structions of JMarch IS, given after the rei'eipt of the treaty, 
 were in the hands of the ministers. This is confirmed by 
 Rose's reply to Lord Howick. It is possible that an appear- 
 ance of an "approximation of France" to the United States 
 may have reenforced the impulse given to the British cal>inet

 The British Government renounces the pi-etension to search 
 ships of war for ileserters, but employs words which qualify 
 the renunciation. Canning's note shows irritation and 
 strengthens the belief that he had Berkeley's accixmt of the 
 matter. The execution of the fourth seaman and the insult- 
 ing trial at Halifax inrlicates that Berkeley is in little dread 
 of his superior's resentment. Besides tlie humiliation of re- 
 storing a British subject, he feai-s the effect on the seamen 
 generally. Series 3, vol. 9, No. 95. [4° 3 jiagcs.]

 Armstronir. His (Jefferson's) oltservations on the latter place 
 the sutjjt'ct in the true holit. If tlie letter to liini is the sole 
 communication, it is an e.xauiple from that quarter <if ohscurity 
 resultiuLT from a labored l)revity. The occui)ation of the 
 Floriilas is, however, certainly the "advice" alluded to. Much 
 de|iends on the success of tlie endiargo. The Xew Kngland 
 jiefitions douljtless have had great effect. That from Rowlev 
 merits only silent contempt. Is jieiplexed as to what jiecun- 
 iary arrangements in the case <.)f Mr. Short, as they would 
 leail to disclosm-es, etc. Turreau's letter seems intended more 
 for his own Government than for this. (_)n the return of the

 to go to France from Falnioutii fears that is to he her course. 
 Has a letter from Baker, dated Bordeaux, June 2.")th, which 
 gives no information of a ]>ublic nature. This delav is truly 
 mortifying. " .V. <;." must at length have Iieen convinced by 
 Chamj)aguy'sletterthat hisadvice to seize the Floridas was not 
 founded as he supposed. The explanation pnjbably refers to 
 the guaranty by Ji;>se|>h of the Spanish colonies. Is sorrv to 
 finil that Marat's (?) dispatclies to Turreau were put under 
 Irvine's cover to the Department of State. The official seal of 
 a neutral countrv should not conceal belligerent property.

 sion it is the constitutional duty, not of the State, but of the 
 General Government, to repel such. Third. When a war de 
 facto has been commenced that the Executive has not the 
 means of controlling, we should have, in function, the depart-
