Hopes to show the Emperor that the United States are willing to freely enter Moroccan ports under their own flag as they did under the English. Has offered to Mr. Franklin to ac t as a go-between for the two countries. If Congress wishes to be at peace with Morocco, they should instruct the captains of their armed ships to let pass the ships sailing under the flag of the Emperor.
