January 26. The following requisition was delivered on the 9th inst. by Mr. Adams, the Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States of America, at the Hague, to the President of the Assembly of their High Mightinesses:
"Sir, on the 4th of May I had the honor of a conference with the President of the Assembly of their High Mightinesses, in which I informed him that I had received a Commission from the United States of America, with full powers and instructions to propose and conclude a friendly and commercial treaty between the United States of America and the United Provinces of the Netherlands. In the same conference I had the honor of demanding an audience of their High Mightinesses, for the purpose of my presenting my credential letters, and my full powers. The President assured me, that he would impart all that I had said to their High Mightinesses, that the affair might be transmitted to the different members of the Sovereignty of his country, to undergo their deliberations and decisions." I have not yet been honored with an answer; and on that account, I have now the honor of addressing myself to you, Sir, to demand of you, as I now do demand, a categorical answer, which I may transmit to Congress.
I. ADAMS."
