I then requested permiflion to re main on board his veflel, as I did not think it fafe to proceed : he said he did not want me on board his majelty’s (hip, and ordered me to depart, or he would use force, and I was obliged to comply. I expoftulatcd again on the danger of our lives and property, and he told me they might go to hell. I went on board my own veflel and wrote, soliciting even one man, but he returned my note with out opening it ; and I was obliged to proceed as well as I could. Fortunately sixteen days after, I fell in with the (hip Joseph, from New-York, for Cowes, who kindly let me have one man. (Signed) Wm. MORTEN, Master of the Brig Caroline. AUTHENTIC, THE undersigned, minider plenipotentiary of the French republic, in conformity to the orders of his government, lias the honor of transmitting to the secretary of ftute of the U nited States, a resolution taken by the execu tive dirett -ry of the French republic, on the 14- h Meifidor, 4th year, relative to the condufl; which the (hips of war of the republic are to hold towards neutral vefTels. The flag of the republic will treat the flag of neutrals, in the fame manner as they fliall fuffer it to be treated by the English. The sentiments which the American govern ment have manifefted to the undersigned min ister plenipotentiary, do not permit him to doubt, that they will fee, in its true light, this measure, as far as it may concern the United States, and that they will also feel, that it is dic tated by imperious circumftancrs, and approved E>y judice. Great-Britain, during the war (he has carried on against the republic, has not crated uling every means in her power to add to that scourge, feourges (fill more terrible. She has ufrd the wrfl known liberality of the French ration to the detriment of that nation. Know ing how faithful France has always been in the obitrvanceof her treaties—knowing that it was a principle of the republic to rrfpeft the flags ot all nations, the liritiHi government, from the beginning of the war, has cauled neutral veflels, and in particular American veflels, to be detained, taken them into their ports, and dragged from them Frenchmen and French property. France, bound by a treaty with the United States, could find only a real disadvan tage in the articles of that treaty which caused to be refpefted as American property, English property found on board American veifels. They had a right, under this consideration, to expect, that America would take ffeps in favor of her violated neutrality. One of the prede cedors of the undersigned, in July 1793, ap flied on this fubjeft to the government of the United States—but he was not fuccefsful. Nevertheless the national convention, who by their decree of the 9th May, 1793, had ordered the seizure of enemy’s property on board neu tral veifels, declaring at the fame time, that the tneafure (hould ceal’e when the Englilh fhouhrf tefpeft neutral flags, had excepted on the ajd of the fame month the Americans from the op eration of this general order. But the conven tion was obliged soon to repeal the law which obtained this exception so favorable to Ame ricans ; the manner in which the English con duced them (elves, the manifeft intention they had to flop the exportation of provisions from America to France, rendered it unavoidable. The nasional convention, by this, had re “°red the equilibrium of neutrality which En -6 and had destroyed ; had difeharged their duty ln a manner juflified by a thousand pad exam- P'® s > as well as by the necessity of the then ex fiting moment. They might, therefore, to re c,i:i the orders they had given to seize enemy’s property oa board American veflels, have wait ed till the British government’ had firfl defini tively revoked the fame order, a fufpemion on ly of which was produced by the embargo laid bycongrefs the 26th Match, 1794 But as soon as they were informed, that under orders of the government of the United States, Mr. Jay was to remonftrateagainff the vexatory measures of the English, they ga e orders, by the law of the 13th Nivofe, 3d year, to the fbips of war of the republic to refprd Ameri can veflels, and the committee lafety, in their explanatory rclolvc of the 14:11 of the fame month, hailened to fan&ion the fame principles. The national convention and the committee of public fafety had every realon to believe, that this open and liberal conduct, would d-termine the United States to use ev ery effort, to put a flop te the vexations im puted upon their commerce, to the injury of the French republic. They were deceived in this hope. And tho’ the treaty of friendfh ip, navigation and commerce between Great-Bri tain and the United States had been signed ix weeks before France adopted the niejfurc I have jufl spoken of, the English did not aban don the plan they had formed, and continu ’d to flop and carry into their ports all Ameri can veflels bound to French ports or returning from them. This conduit was the fubjeft ofa note which the undersigned address-d on the 7th Vendc miuire, 4th year [29th September, 1795, O.S.] to Lhe secretary of Hate The remondrances which it contained were founded upon the duties of neutrality, upon the principles which Mr. Jelferfon had laid down in his letter to Mr. Pinckney, dated the 13th September, 1793. Yet this note has remained without an answer, though recalled to the remembrance ol the se cretary of Hate by a dispatch of the 9th Germi nal, 4th year, [29th March, 1790, O. S.J and American veflels bound to French ports or re turning from them have flill been seized by the English. Indeed more : they have added a new vexation tothofe they had already imp fl ed upon Americans. They have impressed lea men from on board American veflels, and have thus found the mean* of ilrengthening their crews at the expense of the Americans, with out the government of the United States having made known to the undersigned the Heps they had taken to obtain fatisfaftion for this viola tion of neutrality so hurtful to the intcreils of France, as the undersigned had fee forth in his dispatches to the secretary of ilate of the 9th Germinal, 4th year, [29th March, 1796, O. S.j 19th Germinal, fdth April, 179b] an( l Hi Floreal, [2oth April, 179b] which have re mained without an answer. The French government, then, finds itfelf, with relp :£fc to America at the present time, in circumstances similar to thole of the year 179 j ; and if it fees itfelf obliged to abandon, with refpefl to them and ueutral powers in general, the favorable line of conduct they had pursued, and to adopt different lneafures, the blame ffunfid fall upon the British government ; it is their conduit which the French govern ment has been obliged to follow. The undersigned miniiter plenipotentiary conceives it his duty to remark to the secretary of date, that the neutral governments or the allies of the republic have nothing to fear as to the treatment of their flag by the French, fincc, if, keeping within the bounds of their neu trality, they cause the riglns of that neutrality to be refpe&ed by the English, the republic will refpeil them. But if, through weakness, partiality or other motives, they (hould iuffer the English to sport with that neutrality, and turn it to their advantage, could they then complain, when France, to rellore the balance of neutrality to its equilibrium, fhail a£l 111 the fame manner as the English i No, certainly ; for the neutrality of a nation conlifls in granting to belligerent powers the fame advantages, and that neutrality no longer exilts when, in the course of the war, that neutral nation grants to one of the belligerent powers advantages not flipulated by treaties anterior to the war, or fullers that power to seize upon them. The neutral government cannoc then complain if the other belligerent power will enjoy advan tages which its enemy enjoys, or it it seizes on them ; otherwise that neutral government would deviate, with refpeft to it, from the line of neutrality, and would become its enemy. The undersigned, minider plenipotentiary, thinks it ufelcfs further to develope thele prin ciples. He does not doubt that the fecreiaiy oi slate feels all their force, and, that the govern ment of the United States will maintain from all violation a neutrality which France has al ways refp?£ted, and will always refpetl, when her enemies uo not make it turn to her detri ment. The undersigned minifler plenipotentiary embraces this opportunity of reiterating to the secretary of date the assurance of his eiteem, and informs him, at the fame time, that he will cause this note to be printed in order to make publicly known thcmlelves, which, at the pre ient juncture, influence the French republic.
