AUTHENTIC.
Translation of a note from the Minis
ter of the French Republic, to the
Secretary of State of the United
States.
Legation of Philadelphia*
(Continued from our lafi.)
However, in contempt of these very
stipulations, the Argonaut, an Englilh
Ihip of war, in January, 179?, conduc
ted into Lynnhaven Bay, the French
corvette L’Efperance, which flic had
taken upon the coast ; (he there had her
repaired, in order to lend her on a cruise.
Letters were in consequence written by
secretary of slate, to the governor of
V irginia anti to Mr. Hammond. What
was the result ? Nothing. On the 29th
of May, 1795, the federal government
had not yet done any thing pofitivc as
to the aiffs which produced the com
plaint of the minister of the republic.
Ihe secretary of state announced that
these faffs shall be examined, and that if
they are verified the federal government
will not be in the rear of its obligations. ”
To that has the reparation demanded by
the republic been limited*
What arc we to think of these delays,
when we fee the officers of the govern
ment afting with so much activity againtt
the French, on’ the slightest suspicion
that they have violated the neutrality,
when in his letter of 29th April,-1794,
the secretary of state anfwe'rs the com
plaints of the English minister: We
; have received no intelligence of the par
ticular faffs to which you refer; but to
! prevent all unneceflary circuity in firff
-enquiring into them and next transmit
ting to this city the result, the proper
* in ft ruff ions vviil be given to aft, without
b further direftions. ” How did the fed
eral government conduft towards the
. autumn of 1794 ? The Englilh frigate
Terpfiehore took the privateer La Mon
’ tagne into the port of Norfolk.- The
French vice-eonful claimed the execu
tion of the treaty, of the governor of
Virginia; the governor anlWercd him,
s that he would have the ncceffary in
’ velfigation made, and would afterwards
take the proper measures. The prede
celfor of the underftgncd then interposed
w ith the federal government ; and the
secretary of state allured him, that he
wrote to the governor of Virginia to
have juifice rendered. But this justice
. was limited to inveftigatious made with
: luch liownefs, that 5 months after this
affair was not finilhed ; and on the 24th
Feb. 1795, the secretary of state con
tented himfelf with fending to the pre
decelfor of the undersigned, the dispatch
es of the lieutenant governor, dated 10th
Ofiober, 1794, by which he announces,-
; that he ordered the commandant of the
; militia of Norfolk to make the neceffa
; ry enquiries for enabling the executive
; of Virginia to render to the republic the
. justice it had a right to exped. The
result of these enquiries is not known.
However, the fact about which the min
ister Fauchet complained to the fecreta
, ry of state was notorious, and painful re
, searches were not necellary to convince
himfelf of it. Do we not find in this
■ proceeding a formal desire to elude the
treaties, and to favor the Englilh ?
, If the government of the U nited States
hadwifhed to maintain it fell” in that ira
partiality which its duties preferibed,
if it had wished freely to execute the
treaties, it would not have waited, ev
ery time that the English inf ringed them,.
> for die minister to lolicit its Justice :
fhouldit not have given inllruftions so
prccifej that the governors of the states
and fubaltlrn officers of the federal go
vernment might know what duties they
had t 6 fulfil, in order to maintain the
execution of treaties ? Why have the
• moft energetic orders (such as the secre
tary of state, Randolph, mentions) been
given, when the support of the neutrali
. ty inviolate in favor of the English came’
. in question ? Why|have the measures
taken by the federal government oper
ated with so much liownefs when France
’ was interested ? Why in fine have the
■ multiplied claims of her minitters never
produced the red refs of the grievances
. of which they complained ?
. When the predcceflbr of the under
frgned Minister Plenipotentiary claimed
the execution’ of the 17th Art. of the
Treaty intcrdi&ing the entry into the
American ports of EngliA’ vcllels which
fliould have made prizes upon the French,
. w’hen he cited this simple and formal
! stipulation. ** On the contrary neither
asylum nor refuge shall be given in the
ports or harbours of France or of the
l United States to vessels which shall have
. made prizes of the French or Ameri
cans ; and should they be obliged to en
ter by tempest or danger of the sea, all
proper means shall be used to make them
depart as soon as poflible the secretary
of state, in order to avoid shutting the
American ports agamft the EngliftTiT
TCt inthei ? w;
But it would be uncandid to conceal
from you the eonftration which we have
hitherto deemed the true one. The fi u
part of the i 7 th-anicle relates to French
ships of war and privateers entering OU r
ports with their prizes ; the second coH
trafts the situation of the enemie, 0 f
h ranee, by forbidding such as lha.ll have
made prize of the French ; inrimatin,
from this connection of the two claufo,
that the vessels forbidden are those which
bring their prizes with them. l s ] la .
been considered that this fccUon of the
treaty was impartially destined to the
withholding of protection, or fuccou”
to the prizes themfeives • had it been
otherwife.it would ‘have been fuperflu
ous, to have prohibited from failinjA
what they have taken in tihe ports of the
United Slates.”
He said, moreover, in his letter of the
39th of May, 179 s—“5 —“ But ©n the 3d of
Augutf, the President declared his con
ftruftion of that treaty to be, that no
; public armed vessels were thereby f or .
bidden* flora our waters, except those
; which Ihould have made prize of the
people or property of France coming
with their prizes.” But how is it polii
ble to find, in the stipulations ofthetrea
. ty, the sense given to them by the go
vernment of the United States? This
exprellion of the treaty, which shall
have made prices/’ is genera!, and ap
plies to all capturing-vessels, whether
they enter the ports,oi the United States
with prizes, or enter them alone, after
havfng made prizes. It is evident, that
the government adds to'the letter of the
treaty in thiscircumftance ; and is it not
a-ftonifhing,. that it admits a eonftruftion
of the treaty, when it expeds to find a
’ meaning disadvantageous to France, and
- in other instances opposes all construc
tion, when this would be favourable to
the Republic ? But has it the right of
construing the treaty, of changing, of
its own accord the sense of a clear and
precise stipulation, without the consent
and concurrence of theother contracting
party ? Doubtless not, especially, when,
Dy so doing, it wounds her interests.”
