German Ambassador Been I Handed His Passports. ,1C'^ TH KN tlie negro messenger of ?/m/ (he state department in yf J Washington, who for almost forty years Iras been tbe. Amdcan governments official pass port carrier, visits tim German embas sy-ir the break with Germany comes -lt will be tbe first time lu thc history of the United States that this country bas severed relations with that empire or with any of the states which were united to form tho kaiser's realm. Since our government was founded many ambassadors have been sent home, but In the mnjorlty of cases the cause was their own Indiscretions. Thc closest approximation to tho pres ent situation was in the case of tue famous Citizen Genet, in thc adminis tration of Washington, aud even that meddling Frenchman was more to blame for lils recall than tho Girondist government which lind sent him here to enlist thia country us nit ally of Frnuce In her war with England. Genet traveled from one port' of tbe country to the other, campaigning for sympathy for his own country and rous ing factional and racial Htrife So nr dent was he in Ids campaign that he publicly attacked the most prominent persons, and nf ter a sitectneulnr'con troversy with Johu jay mid Itufus King, wrote un insolent loiter to Pres Ident. Washington. Soon thereafter France was requested to recull him Passports wore handed fo bim. but he never returned to Prance: He bad mar tied a daughter of Governor Clinton.' and be lived lu obscurity ou bis estates In the Hudson valley until 1830. Arrange Treaty With British. Hardly liad Genet passed from pub lie , view when, hr 1704. ibo British unvy. and especially British privateers, seized American ships abd cargoes, by the scores uudcr the pretense .that tiley might be carrying aid to Preuve. The Indignation of the country was'great, but as there was no ambassador to ?end home the house of representa lives passed a bill prohibiting all com mercial intercourse betw^eu citizens of the two couutries. The seuat? voted it down, and then Washington vent John Joy tr> London as envoy ex traordinary to arrange fl treaty. -The treaty was arranged, but when t?ie seu: ; ate advised Washington, to sign lt the" whole country was rousedr to auger Jay and Washington were bitterly 'de-, nounccd. Virginia threatened to se cede, and writers .lu the. newspapers even accused the president of venality. The treaty was so favorable to tl|e British that tbo\French saw lu lt a se-' cret alliance with England, and as a result the Robssplerre government de manded the recall of Gouverneur Mor ris, the American minister. Morris was the first American envoy to have bis passports returned by the government to which he wus assigned, but the two countries did not go to war. although the international situa tion was as tangled as lt is today, and Washington was bitterly assailed by his political opponents. Although the'j fact ls forgotten nowadays. France and the United States were bound to gether by a treaty of offensive and de fensive alliance, yet as soon as Great Britain declared wai- and attacked France the American government, is sued a proclamation of neutrality. rnnis on ita face was a breach of the national contract, and Washington was severely scored for not aiding France, for permitting the British to bring prizes into American ports, for allow ing Englishmen to bo*rd nu American sblp In' Long Island sound mid for per mitting English warships to be flited Oiit in American ports. But hi .those dsya France had troubles plethoric at homo, and she sought uo additional ones across the ocean, although It ap peared to lier that Washington ; was doing lus utmost to provoke a war. Minister Monroe HecaHed. . Ja mc a Monroe was sent to France as Morris' successor, but bd'aggravated the situation, the tenseness of which hud been increased by the capture of an American ship near the''Delaware capes by a'Fi ench privateer. As ?.re suit of this capture the French. minis-; ter, Adet;.was called on for.an expla nation. He.could give none, and Mon roe .was,recalled.!?Charles C. Pinckney was sent abroad as bia'successor, but the French ' directory, -refused to re ceive him until ber grievances had been righted. A? America was incensed, the president proclaiming a doy of fas fing, humiliation end prayer;, congress waa called: President 'Adams denounced .Hhs refusal on, the part of France ?to recclvo our minister ls the dental of a right.'.' ; But war did not follow. Ker. did lt follow* soon 'tt?re?fter wt??; Pinckncy. Gerry and Marshall, who had,been ordered to heal the enees with Franctv were boldly told, hy Talleyrand that money would mend ail tho 110 of tho Paris government.

British Representatives Have $ Been Sent -Back For Inter- j . terence With Commerce. : : cities were fortified, and even thc navy and privateers were ordered to capture tbe cruisers, of France. Yet France did not declare war. During tile Napoleonic wars the for eign interests of tbe United States were constantly menaced by one or tbe otber of tbe belligerents. The decrees of Napoleon were usually aimed at firent Britain, but they utmost invert* ably bit American commerce, and the Btitish orders In council just ns fre quently harmed the interests of the United States. In those days no Euro pean power permitted Buy foreign ships to carry on any trndo with her colonies, and ns tho United States bad no colonies of her own, these orders In council worked n great hardship on the American merchant marine. On Nov. 15, 1800, n law went Into effect forbid ding the importation from Great Brit ain of"~a long list of goods. This was regarded as n polite woy of breaking off diplomatic relations. Blow to American Commerce. Ono week after this hill was passed and before thc law became effective a British warship attacked au American ship two miles off Sandy Hook and shot off the' head of tbe helmsman. The body of the sailor was viewed by Indignant crowds in New ?ork. Pres ident JcWerson ordered British war ships to leave Amcrlcaa porlB and sent commissioners to Eugland to demand redress. They arrived abroad Just as Napoleon Issued his famous Berlin de cree blockading the British Islands and practically wiping out American trade. , Tba'' British countered by prohibiting j neutral trade with Franco, and as America was practically the only na tion then trading with France, the blow was a most serious oue to the commerce of this country. The United States was ground between th? two millstones-England trying to drive America into a war against Napoleon, France trying to force ber into strife with England. v At this crucial juncture the Britlsl Whigs fell from power, and while th? new government was studying the sit uatlon a bomb upset everything. Thc Leopard, a British warship, which lim been assisting in a high handed block adefof the American coast for thret years, made nu attack on the Cbesa peake, an American warship suspected of having British deserters aboard killed three and wounded\elghteen ol the crew a .* J almost sank the vesse before the American commander beulet down bis flag. Again the country wo? aroused over thc outrage. President Jefferson issued a proclamation shut ting our ports to armed ships of Eng land, troops were called' out, congres; was gathered and a commlsslocsr aeni to England to demand redress. Af te: many delays Great Brim lu dlsavowet tho Leopard's acts and recalled bet commander. Then congress, to cure al the. Ills that Napoleon and Britain hat heaped on America, passed a law pro h (biting American ships from leavlnj the porta of the United States for thos< of auy foreign power. But plenty of ships left Ameiicai ports surreptitiously oed so erowdet the h arbora of Spain that Napoleon saw his opportunity and seized then alL Again the war cry was raised, am the French minister was about to bi seut homo when thc Spaniards rose drove Napoleon out of the country nut liberated every American ship. Left England In Angry Hood. Meanwhile Plnckney, the Amsalcai minister at London, tried to hedi tin breach between the two conn trie, growing out. of the orders In council He was unable'to make progress, sud taking advantage of the ?Tn Hu re of tb British to appoint a minister to sue eeed Jackson, who had been sent hom because"hu had insulted President Mad ison, asked for bis passports and h 1811 left London tn a.threatening man ncr. This was the only timo in histor, that an American minister rcturnei . from England In a huff. In the follow Log months the relations between th two countries grew more strained ore the impressment of American seamoi and the seizure of American cargool and tn June. 1812. ; war.'was declared Then the British. minister received hi passports, but in a different spirit fret that tn which bis predecessors had rt celved theirs. t Other serious breaches tjf diplomat! relations, of course, occurred precedlni the war with Mexico "hi 1840 and th more recent war \with Spain. Th United States for a long tinto bad a diplomatic relations with Serbia af te the klug and queen were slain In Bel grade, nor did this country recognize Huerta ta 1013-14. although tbe Unite States ?egatlon in Mexico City wa kept open during, the absence of th American minister., ?1868 the Amei lesa government withdrew Jts ininti ter. General McMahon, from Pnragua and declined to bold any diplomatic u tezcoorse with that, country bocaus President Lopes had arreatcl, imprh oned and tortured an American and ai Englishman who. were, in the persona sult of tho "American-mister, A eoe gre&sionni inquiry placed tbe,M&nWo? the minister, and no war resowed th breaking off1 of relations. i '?
