Would you please stop willfully misinterpreting what I am saying?
Extradition treaty or not, the United States will not honor an
extradition request for a criminal charge concering a crime that has no
counterpart in United States law. France was our ally. Therefore, trade
with France was not treason against the United States. That the UK was
at war with France was not our concern. Therefore an extradition request
would not have been honored by the United States for a charge of
treason against the UK.

By attacking United States shipping, even to "merely" kidnap its own
subjects intending to charge them with treason and put them on trial,
the UK had committed acts of war upon the United States.
