Footnotes:
[1]. The Alliance is said by Commodore Jones to have been so called, for the following reasons:
“When the treaty of alliance with France arrived in America, Congress, feeling the most lively sentiments of gratitude towards France, thought how they might manifest the satisfaction of the Country by some public act. The finest frigate in the service was on the stocks, ready to be launched, and it was resolved to call her the Alliance.”
