I take the liberty of troubling you again on the subject of Mr. Barrett’s claim of duties paid on whale oil, and which ought to be refunded according to the letter of M. de Calonne. I find that the Receveur de Romaine at Rouen has received satisfactory proof that the ship Fox, commanded by captain Hussey, and wherein these oils came, was an American vessel: but that he requires the certificate...
