. . . “not a subject of poignant regret that several of the
vessels burned at New Orleans bore the British flag, and were freighted for a
breach of the blockade with British cotton.
The sufferers must look for relief to their own sagacious and beneficent
government, which, by recognizing the belligerent state, cut off all claim for
indemnity against ours.”
