Savannah, December G. 79 ts. 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.” (To be continued.) —— “ ” ■■<* STATE of GEORGIA, City of Savannah. By Jo h n Y .Noel, Mayor of the City ofSavannah .
