    The Comnuflioners
TPOR carrying into ciTe& the sixth article of the
J* tr;«y of amity,lommerce and navigation, eon
eluded between his Britannic majtfty and the Unit- d
S-tatcsof Araerira, en- the 19th day ot November,
1794, having this day constituted tUeir Board,—
purliunt and agreeabiy to the laid treaty, do here
by £ ive notice, that they are ready to proceed t»
business accordingly; and they defiro that all claims
under the said article (which so far as the fame de
ferikes the cases thereby provided for, is hereunto
annexed) may be lodged with their Secretary with
out delay.
They further delire that all such claims may not
oni/ftate in what manner the several cases come
within the deferiptioa of the said article, but also
cfpccially ftt forth vhe nature of the evidence by
which the claimants refpeitivcty undertake tofub
ftantiatc the fame.
Exjradl from the said article,
" Whereas it is alledgcd by div«rs Britilh mer
" chants, and others his majcft\ s fubje^ts, that
" debts to a confid-rablo amount, which were bona
" fide contracted, before the peace, {till reraain
11 owing to them by citizen# or i»habitar.ts .of the
•• United States; and that by the operation of va
*• rious lawful impediments, fifice the peace, D3t
•' only the fuil recovery of the said debts has been
«• delayed, but alfothe value and security thereof
" have been in several instances impaired and jeff
" ened, so that by the ordinary course of judicial
" proceedings, the Britilh creditors cannot now
" obtain and a<stually have and receive full and
" adequate compenlation for the lofftn and dama
" ges which tney have thereby fuf ained: It is a
" greed that in all such cases where full compenfa
«• tion for such losses and damages cannot for what
€* ever rcafon be a&uully obtained, had and recei
« ved by the said creditors in the ordinary course
« of justice, the United States will make full and
" complete compensation for the fame to the said
" creditors : but it is diftinAly umlerftood, that
* l this proviiion is to extend to such losses only as
" have been occasioned by the lawful impediments
« aforcfaid, and is not to extend to losses occalion
" ed by such infolvcnty of the debtors or other
" causes, as would equally have operated to pro
•' duce such loss, if the said impediments had not
" existed s nor to furh losses or damages =s have
" been occasioned by the manifeft delay, ornegli
" gencc, of wilful omiflion of the claimant.
