Excerpt from The Diplomatic Correspondence of the United States of America, From the Signing of the Definitive Treaty of Peace, 10th September, 1783, to the Adoption of the Constitution, March 4, 1789, Vol. 1: Being the Letters of the Presidents of Congress, the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, American Ministers at Foreign Courts, Foreign Ministers Near Congress, Reports of Committees of Congress, and Reports of the Secretary for Foreign Affairs Having communicated to my Court the readiness you expressed in your letter to me of the 9th of December to remove to London, for the purpose of treating upon such points as may materially concern the interests, both political and commercml, of Great Britain and America, and having, at the same time, represented that you declared yourselves to be fully authorized and empowered to negotiate, I have been, ln answer thereto, instructed to learn from you, gentlemen, what is the real nature of the powers with which you are invested; whether you are merely com missioned by Congress, or whether you have received separate powers from the respective States. A committee of N orth American merchants have waited upon his Majesty's principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, to express how anxiously they wished to be informed upon this subject, repeated experience having taught them in particular, as well as the public in general, how little the authority of Congress could ava11 in any respect where the interests of' any one individual State was even concerned, and particularly so where the concerns of that particular State might be supposed to militate against such resolutions as Congress might think proper to adopt.
