Correspondence Of John Quincy Adams 1811 1814 PDF Download

Excerpt from Correspondence of John Quincy Adams, 1811-1814 Whether our Government will have the time or the incli nation, or the resolution, to resort to this expedient I do not know - from the Accounts received here from England since the news of the encounter between the President Frigate and the Little Belt,2 measures appear to have been adopted there for the professed purpose of humbling the Yankies and a squadron of five ships of the line to be followed it is said by a Regiment of troops, has sailed for America with sealed orders to be opened West of Scilly. Their object will doubtless be known to you long before you receive this letter. Whether it be of mere menace or of direct hostility, I trust the Spirit of my Country will prove true to itself. But it opens in either case a prospect before us at least as formidable as that of 1775 and 1776 was to our fathers.
