He procured through a friend in Brussels, the publica- tion in London of articles written by himself, which were translated into the "Ley den Gazette" Of course he wrote articles for the Dutch papers himself. Mr. Adams could get no loan. Just then Henry Laur- 88 JOHN ADAMS. ens was captured by a British vessel; and among his pa- pers was found correspondence with a leading Holland- er which excited the wrathfnl suspicion of England. For a while, no further move could be made; but Mr. Adams's ex...pected stay of a few weeks was lengthened nearly to a year. Receiving additional authority, Mr. Adams addressed a memorial to the States General of Holland in February or March of 1781, stating that he was authorized to sign on behalf of the United States the treaty of the Armed Neutrality, which was negotiated by Russia to curb the insolence of Great Britain toward neutrals. He sent similar notice to the Ministers of France, Russia, Swe- den and Denmark who were at the Hague. Just a year from his first application, April i9th, 1782, the States General officially recognized him as envoy of the United States: and as such he was formally present- ed to that body four days later.
