These proceedings on the one side pro- voked, of course, retaliation on the other ; and from this date the relations of the United States became more and more embarrassed. Their ships were confiscated, their seamen impressed, the sovereignty of their harbors violated, their neutral rights, in every way and on all occasions, disregarded ; while the bureaux of their embas- sies were piled Avith Ireaps of impotent protests and un- heeded reclamations. The exemption permitted by France was soon wit...hdrawn ; for as soon as it was evi- dent that the United States had not the power to pre- vent the seizure of her vessels by England, France re- fused to allow her enemies only to profit by the weakness of a neutral ; and as soon as it was clear that the United States did not intend to be forced into a war by the exactions of England, France abandoned a pol- icy which was intended to win an ally, and not merely to protect a lukewarm friend.
