I have recd. your letter of the 10th. of Octr. accompanying the decree of the National assembly of the 26. of Augst. last; which confers the title of French Citizen on several foreigners among whom I have the honor to be named.

8From Alexander Hamilton to the President and Directors of the Bank of the United States, 1 April 1793 (Hamilton Papers)
The Government has a considerable payment to make at Amsterdam in June next. The provision for the purpose hitherto made falls short of the object; and it is desirable for perfect safety not to delay the remitting of funds from hence beyond the Packet of the present month—though I have great reason to believe that a loan at Amsterdam will have furnished the requisite means independent of...

12To George Washington from Thomas Jefferson, 1 April 1793 (Washington Papers)
The Report brought by a captain of a ship from Lisbon just in the moment of your departure that France had declared war against several nations, involved in that declaration almost every power of Europe.

As General Knox observed that he was...
