INTRODUCTION
NEW YORK, February 28, 1913.
Many years ago, on leaving the Department of State, having experienced great
difficulty in finding a particular document or reference, I collected the documents pub-
lished by Congress during a series of years and arranged a complete chronological Series
of public documents relating to foreign affairs and diplomatic relations, covering a very
considerable period.
Some years afterwards, the collection having been presented to the New York Public
Library (Astor, Lenox, and Tilden Foundations) was brought down to the year 1900,
under the intelligent advice of the late Dr. John S. Billings, then Director of the Library.
The earlier documents were also collected, so as to form what is believed to be almost a
complete collection from the earliest history of the government to 1907. The collection
proved of large value to students in the Public Library, but the absence of an index greatly
diminished its practical value, and, so much work having been done, I determined to
cause an index to be made.
It was originally intended that the index should cover the years 1789 to date, but
when some progress had been made it became evident that to do this thoroughly would
require a long time, and, as the Folio American State Papers (Foreign Affairs), which
cease in 1828, have fair indexes, and as an index to the annual Diplomatic Correspondence
which begins in 1861 had lately been published by the State Department, it was determined
to prepare a thorough index, to completely cover the period from 1828 to 1861.
The index assumes, within the period named, to afford to the student reference to
the entire published record of documents, papers, correspondence and, to a considerable
extent, legislation and decisions upon international or diplomatic questions; and by its
use it is hoped that persons making researches into diplomatic history may now find their
labors lightened.
The preparation of the index has been carried on under the intelligent and conscien-
tious direction of Miss Adelaide R. Hasse, the head of the Department of Documents in
the New York Public Library. An explanation by Miss Hasse of the character and scope
of the index will be found on the following page.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
The plan of the present index makes it, perhaps, expedient that some word of explai
nation should precede the work proper.
The material relating to diplomatic controversy contained in the printed papers of
both Houses of Congress, practically includes only that presented pursuant to call of
Congress. To have confined the index within these lines would have made but a partial
representation of that which actually exists. In order, therefore, to assemble the material
with a reasonable degree of completeness, the following series of documents, in addition
to the reports of Congress, have been indexed, viz.; the Senate Executive Journal, for
diplomatic and consular appointments and treaty ratifications; the Opinions of the At-
torneys General, for decisions on questions of international controversy; the Statutes-at-
Large, for acts and resolutions relating to international affairs; and the Congressional
Globe and its predecessors for speeches and correspondence. The text of the latter, it was
found, does not always correspond with the text as printed in the House and Senate
documents.
The assembled material comprised within the various series referred to above is ar-
ranged in one alphabet in the aspect made familiar by the ordinary library catalogue.
Every correspondent, petitioner, memorialist or deponent is credited with an entry under
personal name for each letter written, each petition or memorial presented and each
deposition made. Each such letter, petition, or memorial is then again distributed under
the subject indicated by the nature of its contents. Regarding the distribution of letters
under various subjects the method has been not to reproduce the entire précis under all the
subjects of the letter, but only that portion of the précis relating to each subject. Thus,
Marcy to Sartiges on July 28, 1856, in stating the American objections to the Declaration
of Paris, does so first in general terms, then particularly in regard to privateering, and
finally proposes a modification of the accepted doctrine of contraband. Under Contra-
band in the index is entered only the précis of that portion of the letter relating to that
subject. The sentence of the précis is not finally closed by a period, but left open with a
semi-colon and the abbreviation, “ etc.,” to show that the purport of the letter is other
than contraband. The entire purportis entered under Marcy. . The individual entry under
personal name consists of the date, name and title of addressee, précis of contents, and a
reference to the place or places where the letter, etc., may be found. The arrangement of
these individual entries is chronological. In the case of the diplomatic or consular corre-
spondence of the United States, the despatch number has been added and also a statement
to show whether the letter briefed is an extract or whether it is the entire document. By
means of the omissions in the despatch numbers it is possible to collate the continuity of
the printed correspondence, and, by means of the collected extracts, it has been possible
frequently to present all the parts of a document severally printed in various places.
The student, unfamiliar with manner of publication of the official correspondence, is
occasionally baffled, and possibly even deprived entirely of needed material. The present
form of the index, after Some experiment, was retained, as resulting in the most satisfac-
tory redemption of this correspondence from practical unavailability.

Russia and the U. S. at once proceeded to open
negotiations at Shanghai for a settlement of all
ºnces existing betw. their resp. countries and
China.
The Amer. comr. arrived at Shanghai Mch. 24, the Br.
and French envoys Mch. 26 and Apr. 3, resp., all
having been preceded by Count Pontyatine, the Rus-
sian comr. The ministers asked that an imperial
comr. be sent to meet them at Shanghai. They were
told that it was against Chinese custom that, an
imperial comr. should negotiate at Shanghai. They
were also advised of the apptmt. of a new imperial
comr. for Canton to succeed Yeh, and were en-
couraged to return to Canton. Hereupon the allies
at once proceeded to the Peiho there to negotiate
for an audience in Pekin.

GENERAL ARMSTRONG, AMER. PRIVATEER (REID)
On Sept. 26, 1814, the General Armstrong put into the
neutral port of Fayal, Azores, within Portuguese
jurisdiction. In the evening a Br. sqdn. entered
port. Later an attempt was made by four boats
belonging to the sqdn. to examine the Amer. priva-
teer. The boats were fired upon and retreated. At
midnight the privateer was attacked by boats of
the sqdn. and a fight ensued.
The claim for indemnity agst. Portugal was first pre-
sented by Secy. Monroe in 1815 and corresp. was
ineffectually carried on till 1818. It was revived by
actg. Secy. Dickins in 1835 and prosecuted till 1850,
when Portugal offered to refer claim to arbitration.
The offer was accepted, and on Nov. 30, 1852, the
award was made by the arbiter. The decision was
contested by the claimants, and the case carried to
the Court of Claims. The findings of the court
were adverse and the claim was finally rejected.
In 1878 the claim was revived as a claim for relief
agst. the U. S. The bill to pay the claim was intro-
duced in the Sen. during 1 sess., 47 cong., and be-
came a law May 1, 1882, without the President’s
approval.

In Apr., 1854, Capt. N. P. Gibbs, brig John R. Dow, agt.
of P. S. Shelton, merchant, of Boston, discovered
and took possession of Aves Is. On his way to
Boston, to report his discovery, Gibbs visited the
guano islands in the Gulf of Mexico, where P. S.
Shelton was at the time chiefly interested. The
Shelton guano trade in the gulf was under the
Superintendence of Jas. Wheeler. Here Gibbs in-
formed Wheeler, as agt., of his discovery. Wheeler
and Gibbs sailed for New Orleans in the John R.
Dow, Wheeler then preceding Gibbs to Boston. Fail-
ing to induce Shelton to send vessels to the Aves, un-
til Gibbs should arrive, Wheeler gave private infor-
mation to Lang and Delano, who fitted out a vessel
and sent him to the island as their agt. Gibbs, mean-
while, had been sent by Shelton, and landed at Aves
On Jly. 15. 1854. He proceeded to erect buildings,
a wharf, etc. On Dec. 13, 1854, the occupants of

naval officer, on the one part, and on the other part
by N. P. Gibbs (agt. of Sampson and Tappan), by P.
S. Shelton and by C. H. Lang (agt. of Lang and De-
lano). In this agreement agts. Of the claimants
declare the island to belong to Venezuela, agree to
defend and guard, Venezuelan occupation, and that,
for this purpose, they place all arms and force under
the flag of Venezuela.
In subsequent litigation it was claimed that this agree-
ment was extorted under duress, which fact, it was
maintained by the govt. of the U. S. in pressing this
claim, was sufficient ground to invalidate the in-
strument, and to impart to the claimants a right to
expect from, the Venezuelan govt. an indemnification.
