Excerpt from The Decision of the King of the Netherlands Considered in Reference to the Rights of the United States, and of the State of Maine We'assume it as a principle, not to be contested, that as the United State's and Great Britain stood in relation to each other and to the King Of the Netherlands as independent nations, the King of the Netherlands had no power whatever over any question or difference between the United States and Great Britain, beyond what those two governments expressly and by mutual agreement delegated to him. It was not for him to extend his powers by remote inferences, of which he was to constitute himself the sole judge, nor to enlarge and aid his jurisdiction by indefinite and latitudinarian construction. It was not for him to assume the office and attributes of a friendly compounder, governed by no rule or principle but his own discretion, unless such an office and such powers were solemn ly and expressly conferred upon him by the high parties inter ested. Let us now turn our attention to the Treaties and Con vention between the United States and Great Britain, which relate to this subject, in order to ascertain what powers were delegated to the Arbiter.
