the captured vessels; which we refused.
They then represented that it was not the
present dey who had declired the war,
which they acknowledged to be unjust, con.
ceding that they were wholly in the wrong,
and had no exeuse whatever, requesting,
however, tliat we would take the case of the
dey inte consideration, and upon his agree-
ing to terms with us more favorable than
had ever been made with any other nation
to restore (he ships, whicn they stated
would be of little or no use to us, but would
be of great impertance to him, as they
would satisty the people with the conditions
of the peace we were going to conclude
with him.
We consulted upon this question, and
determined that considering the state of
those vessels, the sums that would be re-
quired to fit them for a passage tothe U:
States, and the little probebility of selling
them in this part of the world, we would
make 2 compliment of them’ to his highness
in the state they then were, the commodore
ecgaging to furnish thenr with an escort to
this port. This, however, would depend
upon their Signing the treaty as presented
to them, and could not appear’as an article
of it, but must be considered as a favor con
ferred ot thé dey by the United States.
They then reqeested a truce to deliber-
ate upon the terms of the proposed treaty,
which was refused : they even pleaded for
