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- No. 82.
