Subject.
The capture of New Orleans. The fitting
out of piratical vessels against American
commerce in European ports.
The United States have a right to expect
at least actual neutrality from the na

of aid and sympathy to the insurgents.
5 Opening of the southern ports. The insur-

in the misfortunes produced by the war,
and it is for the interest of all of them

France and Mexico.
Relations of the
United States to both countries.
Foreign interference deprecated from mo-
tives of prudence and humanity, not
from apprehension. The United States

of Europe. European domination cannot
be rebuilt here upon the foundation of
African slavery.

sentiment towards the French nation
and in regard to parties in France.
