130713To James Madison from Robert R. Livingston, 24 January 1803 (Madison Papers)
I have just now heard of an opportunity from Havre. I am doubtful whether my letter will arrive in time for it. I therefore confine myself to inform you that Genl Bernadotte is named Minister to the United States in the place of Otto who will be employed here. Genl Bernadotte is brother in law to joseph Bonaparte & is a very respectable man & has the character of a decided Republican. I have...
130714To James Madison from Thomas Macon, 24 January 1803 (Madison Papers)
I have been from home for several Weeks, which prevented me from receiving your letter, or answering it untill now. A few days ago, I bought of Mr. Goudge lime to the amount of sixty two pounds ten Shillings, & I have received a letter from Mr. Ross, informing me that you had directed him to pay me a sum of money. The balance I will draw on you for when I go to Frederickg. The death of your...
130715To James Madison from James Monroe, 24 January 1803 (Madison Papers)
I arrived on saturday so much fatigued that I found it was impossible to proceed by the route of Albemarle & Loudon back to Washington. A slight injury wh. I recd. in descending from the stage made the exn. of that project the more inexpedient. I therefore sent up for Major Jas. Lewis in whose hands I propose to leave my affrs. to come down; I expect him to morrow, and hope to adjust them so...

24 January 1803, Antwerp. Has “this instant” received a duplicate of JM’s 12 Nov. 1802 letter by the Philadelphia . Finds it impossible to express “with what lively emotions” he received “this new mark of the President’s favour.” However important Antwerp may become, does not hesitate to accept the appointment to Le Havre, where his acquaintance with the French will make him more useful to the...

130718To Thomas Jefferson from H. Bredaugh, 24 January 1803 (Jefferson Papers)
Mr. Jefferson I thing that you are not acting wright about Orleans the Cittizens would certainly all love & esteam you much more If you wold only give them leave to take that place because if the French Comes there and takes possesion the will always be sparing with us but only give us leave and we will take it without the least Hesitation only think the Back Countries will become fit for...
130719To Thomas Jefferson from Albert Gallatin, 24 January 1803 (Jefferson Papers)
It appears to me that a compliance with this request would amount to a fraud on the Govt. of that country to which the vessel was bound. If a Collector of Natchez is permitted to clear a vessel lying at N. Orleans as if she was sailing from Natchez, he may with equal propriety clear for London a vessel lying at Havannah giving her papers as if she had sailed from the american territory. Will...
130720From Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, 24 January 1803 (Jefferson Papers)
If we can do any thing ourselves in the case of the from the Missisipi, let us do it. but if any thing has to be done by Congress I think the merchants had better be left to get it brought forward in their own way, and leave us free to modify. it is a question of some nicety whether in the seasons when exportations are strong, we might moor a in the river opposite or near N. Orleans, and keep...
