In answer to the several letters you have done me the honor of writing on the subject of tonnage and duties demanded at the Custom houses on the vessels and goods of the fugitives from St. Domingo, I have to inform you that the opinion being that the terms of the law did not authorize the Executive to dispense with those demands, I have taken the proper measures for having the subject...

In my letter of June 25th. on the subject of the Ship William, and generally of vessels suggested to be taken within the limits of the protection of the United States by the armed vessels of your nation, I undertook to assure you it would be more agreeable to the President that such vessels should be detained under the orders of yourself or the Consuls of France than by a military guard, until...
14From Thomas Jefferson to Edmond Charles Genet, 16 September 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
I am honoured with your letter of the 10th. inst. on the subject of the arrest of Capt. Johannene and his vessel the Citoyen Genet, which you supposed to have been by order of the Executive.

I was...
