"The principal Minister of the Bey, has pledged himself that the last clause of the 1th article of our treaty with this Regency, inserted by Joseph E. Etienne Famin shall have the same effect with respect to American merchant vessels as the custom of all other nations at peace with Tunis, has established with their respect to their own, and no other.--There is therefore no danger to be apprehended from American vessels visiting this coast. Perfect health prevails here.
I am, &c.
