AUTHENTIC.
Tranflatlon of a note from the Minif
tcrof the French Republic, to the
Secretary of State of the United
States.
Legation of Philadelphia .
I (Continued from our last. )
* . T lie Secretary of state, by the 22d ar
ticle, pretends to support his conftruc
-1 tlo “ 17th article. What does this
22d article contain ? A prohibition of
, the enemies of France and of the United
States from arming in the refpeftive
- pons of the two powers, of felling their
prizes, or of difeharging all or part of
their cargo there. This article, there
fore,.applies to the prizes; whilst the
17th applies to the capturing vessels.
Did it not exist, the enemies of France*
or the United States, might fend
their prizes into the refpedive ports of
the two powers, without conducting
them there thcmfelves: the 17th article
containing only a prohibitory arrange
ment for the capturing vcffels, could not
prohibit them from doing this. It wa9
necessary then to have recourse to a for
mal prohibition : besides, as the veflel*
which have made prizes on the French
or Americans, are admitted into the
ports of France or of the United States,
s cases oi l-mpeft or dangers of the sea
they might, in this case, have conceived
j chemfeives authorised to dispose of ilieir
prizes, to fell them, or to diicharge their
■ cargoes; it was neceiiary therefore to
■” take this l ight from them in a poiitive
manner ; it was necedary to prevent
them from benefittisg by a ftipplatian
made in favor of humanity : this is the
end anfwercd by the 22d article, which
is nor fuperfluous, as the secretary of
state maintains, but on the contrary,
contains a dilunCtlupulation from that
of the 17th. It is then evident from
this, that in the cases above cited by the
underfilled, the ftipuiations of the 17th
article have been violated. They have
been equally so, by the admiiiion, in
sundry ports, of the Thetis and Huflar
frigates, which captured la Prevoyante
and la Raifon, French ftorelhips,and by
admitting in the last iiiftance this fame
ship la Raifon, prize to the Thetis, in
to the ports of the United States.
But admitting fora moment the con
• ftru&ion gratuitously given by the secre
tary of state to the 1 7th article of the
treaty of 1778 ; this article has not the
left been violated, when the Argonaut,
which had quitted Hampton Roads in
order to capture L’Efperance, was per
mitted to enter with that prize ; whea
the Terpfichcre was fuffered to bring in
the privateer la Montagne. In vain
were fought, in the resources of a cap
tious and faife logic, the means of ex
ecuting such condudi The fafts speak ;
. and every upright mind, not blinded by
passion, will necessarily yield to their
evidence. Yet the prohibitory Stipu
lation of the admiiiion of prizes made by
her enemies, is the only advantage which
France expedfed to enjoy, after having
wrought, and guaranteed the indepen
dence of the United States, at a time
when (he might, as the price of that very
independence, have granted them less
liberal conditions.
These wrongs of the American go
vernment towards the republic, just
stated by the undersigned minister pleni
potentiary, will soon be aggravated by
new oner.. It was a little matter only
to allow the English to avail themfelvcs
of the advantages of our treaty ; it was
neceflary to aflure these to them by ther
aid ot a contrail which might serve at
once as a reply to the claims of France,
and as peremptory motives for refufals,
the true cause of which it was requitite
ihceffanrly to disguise to her under spe
cious pretexts.
Such was the obje&of Mr. Jay's mis
sion to London ; such was the objedt ofa
negociation enveloped fiom its origin in
the ihadow ofmyftery, and covered with
the veil of diflimulation. Could the
executive directory have any other idea
of it, on examining its iflue,on feeing all
the efforts made by the American go-*
vernment to conceal chefecret from every
eye ?
In his meflage to the senate of the 16th
April, 1794, the Pretident declared that
Mr. Jay was sent to London only to
obtain a redress of the wrongs done to
the United States; at the fame time the
secretary of state communicated to the
predecessor of the undersigned, a part of
the inftrudlions to Mr. Jay, reminding
him of the intention of the American go
vernment not to deviate from its engage
ments with tl>e republic of France. Ihe
French minister, deceived by this com
munication, contributed ingeniously t<>
deceive his government. The Ameri
can minister in France removed the tears
of the French government as to the mif
tion of this envoy extraordinary, and er-
