21To James Madison from Tench Coxe, 14 June 1807 (Madison Papers)
I feel very happy in the effect upon many well disposed men, not attached to the administration, which the letter on impressments has produced. I published it with a little introduction calculated to make it bear on the course of conduct respecting the intended Treaty. The sentence at the end of my note has reference to matters in relation to impressments as they might appear in a British...

I am honored with your letter containing the communication of the 5th. Jany. 1804 and the other papers, for which I am very thankful. The important paper of the 5th. Jany. 1804, I shall endeavour to have republished here, with a prefatory note to draw to it the merited attention and consideration of the people. It is necessary that it should be known and thought of; and this be assured is not...
23To James Madison from Tench Coxe, 28 May 1807 (Madison Papers)
I received this day three letters of various dates from my brother in Law Mr. Charles Davenport Coxe, of the U. S. marine Corps. It appears that they must have been long on the way. One of them covered the inclosed letter from him to you. I collect from Mr. Coxe’s letter, that he is willing & desirous to remain in the situation as successor to a Mr. Dodge, in which Mr. Lear has placed him, pro...
24To James Madison from Tench Coxe, 22 May 1807 (Madison Papers)
I was lately informed by a gentleman, who I suppose has conversed on the matter with you, that the section in the British Act of Pt. refered to in the inclosed paper, had been enacted in 1793. I was astonished at the fact, & on conversing on it with friends, it seemed to us of importance, that it should be known. I prepared a little statement of the matter, & sent a manuscript copy to a...
25To James Madison from Tench Coxe, 20 May 1807 (Madison Papers)
Since I had the honor to address you on the India trade, I am informed, that Great Britain has altered her system as to the India piece goods and allows them to be sold in England, for exportation. I presume that they have found the India company required this support in its commercial department, which has languished of late years. This alteration only proves how necessary our transportation...
26To James Madison from Tench Coxe, 2 April 1807 (Madison Papers)
I add to the paper No. 1 the two inclosed papers. You will excuse their rough form and the crudity of some parts. I will indeavour to add further remarks on the other Articles. This afternoon a federal merchant called on me and mentioned that a respectable French Merchant, who he named, had informed him that he had seen a letter from France to a friend here, stating as follows, that an action...
27To James Madison from Tench Coxe, 1 April 1807 (Madison Papers)
I received yesterday the letter you did me the honor to transmit of the 27th. March. Its contents shall be private & confidential. It is for that reason that I send you, in the rough draught, some preliminary and direct views of the subject. I thought it best to lose no time, and therefore devoted all of yesterday, which I could spare from public business, to rehearsals and reflexion, with my...
28To James Madison from Tench Coxe, 27 March 1807 (Madison Papers)
In the present critical state of our affairs, I take the liberty to offer to your consideration a suggestion which appears to me of great importance. The injuries to neutral rights have, as I believe, been produced by the conduct and example of great Britain in the form of Orders of her executive government abrogating in their Admiralty and superior prize courts the written or customary law of...
29To James Madison from Tench Coxe, 2 March 1807 (Madison Papers)
I wrote you a note by yesterdays mail, without signature, date of place or year, putting at foot "le premier de Mars" . Its contents were serious and confidential. The lady is Mrs. Alston. The person at New Orleans Genl. Wilkinson. In addition it is reported that Dr. Bolman mentioned among his friends here that the cypher was of 18 months standing, & known to a foreigner. Since I have been...
30To James Madison from Tench Coxe, 1 March 1807 (Madison Papers)
I find it to be a fact, that a family connexion of a person, who accuses ABurr, expresses his conviction that the accuser is the worst man of the two. I find it is considered here that the accuser has fears about the contents of a port-folio possessed by Mrs. . I find it asserted that a paper has been sent from the south, since the receipt of the letter in cypher, wch. paper is in the hand...
