A standard four-language ship's paper, printed in French, Spanish, English and Dutch, permitting the brig "Mary” of New London, under Captain Francis Smith to sail with a cargo of livestock and lumber to Cayenne. The President certifies that no subjects of the present belligerent powers have any part or portion therein." It is unclear to what extent these imposing maritime certificates actually succeeded in discouraging interference by the navies of the warring European nations. These interceptions remained a frequent occurrence and culminated in Madison's declaration of war against Britain in June 1812.
