2To John Adams from Rufus King, 28 July 1800 (Adams Papers)
I avail myself of the opportunity of a vessel about sailing from Hull for Boston, to say that a Danish frigate with a small number of ships under her convoy, having resisted a search attempted by a squadron of British frigates, has together with the merchant ships been captured and sent into an English Port. Several persons on each side were killed in the action between the frigates. If...
3To John Jay from Rufus King, 31 October 1797 (Jay Papers)
Our Envoys have been at Paris from the first of the month— during the last fortnight there has been no Person from France by whom I could have heard from them— Col. Trumbull is at Paris on his Return from Germany, and we expect him here in a day or two; we shall be better able after his arrival than at present to form an Opinion concerning the issue of our Negociation— It remains still...

7To Alexander Hamilton from Rufus King, 21 January 1799 (Hamilton Papers)
We have the new york Papers to the 15. ult. These contain the Speech as well as the answers of the two Houses. All seems intended for the best, but it gives an ill Idea abroad of our Zeal, to find that our Army decreed so many months since remained to be raised. The difficulty and time necessary to find suitable Officers, reminds one of the like impediments which preceded the appointment of...
8To John Jay from Rufus King, 12 November 1797 (Jay Papers)
By M r . Seton I sent you the Dec[larati]on of this Government on the rupture of the Negociation at Lisle— I now send you Lord Malmesburys correspondence with a number of News Papers— The treaty between Portugal & France has been annulled by the latter, because it had not been ratified by the former within the time first prescribed for that Purpose, tho it is asserted that this time had been...
9To Alexander Hamilton from Rufus King, 2 July 1798 (Hamilton Papers)
France will pursue with us the Plan that she has elsewhere found successful.

The Paris Papers of the 18. ulto. say le Citoyen Roziers est nommé Consul Genl. aux Etats unis. Gamier (en convenl. de Saintes) consul, & Boscq vice consul à Wilmington,...
10To Alexander Hamilton from Rufus King, 9 November 1798 (Hamilton Papers)
The same uncertainty continues respecting the recommencement of the war. Both austria & Prussia are bolder than before the late naval success of this Country, but the conduct of the Emperor is rather calculated to shew that he may be purchased by further acquisitions in Italy. Naples will not decline a war; her existence perhaps depends upon his provoking it. The Casus fœderis with austria is...
