JANUARY 8, 1799.

_Gentlemen of the House of Representatives_:

In compliance with your desire expressed in your resolution of the 2d

of this month, I lay before you an extract of a letter from George C.

Moreton, acting consul of the United States at The Havannah, dated the

13th of November, 1798, to the Secretary of State, with a copy of a

letter from him to L. Tresevant and William Timmons, esquires, with

their answer.

Although your request extends no further than such information as has

been received, yet it may be a satisfaction to you to know that as soon

as this intelligence was communicated to me circular orders were given

by my direction to all the commanders of our vessels of war, a copy of

which is also herewith transmitted. I also directed this intelligence

and these orders to be communicated to His Britannic Majesty's envoy

extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to the United States and

to our minister plenipotentiary to the Court of Great Britain, with

instructions to him to make the proper representation to that Government

upon this subject.

It is but justice to say that this is the first instance of misbehavior

of any of the British officers toward our vessels of war that has come

to my knowledge. According to all the representations that I have seen,

the flag of the United States and their officers and men have been

treated by the civil and military authority of the British nation in

Nova Scotia, the West India islands, and on the ocean with uniform

civility, politeness, and friendship. I have no doubt that this first

instance of misconduct will be readily corrected.

JOHN ADAMS.
