June 5. The dispatches from our Envoys at Paris,
this day communicated by the President of the United
States to both Houses of Congrefis, consist of a letter dated
on tlie 9th of March last, encloiing minutes of two confe
rences, obtained at the instance of tlie Envoys, on the 2d
and 4th (or 6th*) of the fame month, with the Minister for
foreign affitirs. At the fir ft conference Gen. Pinckney
introduced the ccnveifiation, ky exprefiing the anxiety of
the American Government anil Envoys to remove the fub
lifting differences between the two countries. He said that
many inadmillible propofirions for effecting that object had
been received by them from M. Y* and that they had
waited upon the Minister ,t# know whether other means
might be deviled to obtain to deferable an end. In answer
M. Talleyrand (aid that tlie Directory Were extremely
wounded by the speech of, Gen. Waihijigton when about
to retire from office, and by the firft and lad speech of Mr.
Adumi, and tb s the explanations were required of the
Envoys; ana th?a. previous to treating with them, the
I)irettery .expetflcd I'ome proof on the part of the United
States of a ; . • iiy dilpoiicion. Here M. Talleyrand al
luded very mu iiiglLly to a loan. Gen. Pinckney having
• intimated that a i<. would exceed their powers, M. Tal-
I leyrand drew a cUilmftioii between adling contrary to in-
I ftru&ions and acting in a case where they’ were filerit,
and urged tiiat irrtile latter case it was their duty to use
their diicretion for the public good. He said the principal
objection of the American Government to a loan mud be
its tendency to draw it out of a neutral situation, nd re
marked, that there were several ways of obviating such an
tfleet; liich as, a reliance on the lecrecv of Ffance, dif
gtiifmg the loan, making it payable by distant inftalments,
and France railing present supplies upon “he credit of it.
To this it was ani .vered, that they conceived their instruc
tions did not admit cf a lean; that the United States had
resolved faithfully to maintain their neutrality;-that they
would do nothing in fecrct which if known would arrange
them among the belligerent powers; tiiat as thev could not,
if leagued with Fi ance, furnilh either men or (flips of war,
and money being tbe only thing that would be aiked o;
them, to furnilli money was in fa£! to make war. The
Mm lifer repeated the nCceility there was of proving out
friendlhip for the Republic by fome immediate aid, or by
fometbing which might avail them. In the courle of the
converlation tlie Minilfer complained of the Envoys not
having visited him, afel pfetended t’ at the original favor
able difpolition of the Dlreftory had been a good deal al
tered by tlie coldness a:id difiance wiiich the F.nvoys had
obierved, because they lud not made private vijits to him,
and laid lie conceived their not having had audience of the
Directory ought not to have prevented it. Gen. Marlhall
told him, that their feeing the Directory or not was an
objtdt of no fort of concern to them, but that it was their
opinion that, until their public character was in fome de
gree recognized, they would not take upon themselves to
a& as Miniffers. The Miniifer said that was very true,
but that they might fee him as private tndtvidualsy and
dilcufs tlie objects of difference between the two nations.
At the lecond conference on the 4th (of 6th) the Envoys
observed that they had previouily attended to the conversa
tion they lud had with tlie Miniiter; that the proportions
he had iuggelbd appeared to them*to be fubiUntially the
fame with those made by Mellrs. X. and Y. and they ex
plicitly declared that, in addition to those proportions, if
acceded to, amounting to a declaration of war against
Great Britain, their inltrifefions were express, not to stipu
late any aids to France, either directly or indire£Uy, during
the war. The conference on the part of the Minister
chiefly confided of the remarks and propr fttions he had
made on the 2d of the month. The Envoys several times
told the Minister rhat, if it would be agreeable to the Di
rectory, two of them would return to America to receive
the inftruCtions of the Government on the actual situation
of things, but they were unable to draw any reply from
him. Thus ended the conference.
* It is uncertain on which cf tbefe days tbe lajl con
ference was held.
Extract of a letter from Lijbin, ‘dated April 15.
“ It is currently reported that the Portuguele Minister,
who was fome time fence imprisoned at Paris, is re leafed;
aud that the King of Spain has undertaken to make the
peace of this country with France. I hope tlie resignation
of the Prince of Peace from the office of Secretary of State
in Spain will be produiflive of good effect; and it is reported,,
and I was allured as (aft from the Spanilh Ambaffudor here,
that a Spanilh frigate had failed from Corunna to England.
It is also reported Admiral Mazzaredo has solicited a pass
port from AdihirarPaikcr( oft’ Cadiz, to fuffer a Spanilh
frigate to pals to England, which he complied with. Two
frigates are arrived From Lima at Corunna with 7,000,000
dollars. Four out of five Spanilh fliips which failed from
Montevido are taken by tlie Britifli squadron off Cadiz.
An Engiifh Indiaman, with 5000 cliefts of tea, is taken
and carried into Spain.”

the House of Representatives by Mr. Dwight Fuller:
Whereas the French Republic, regardleis ;of thole prin
ciples of good faith which ought to eftlure a due observance
of treaties, Itave, hi various iu (lances, violated the express
Itipulations of tlie treaties heretofore made and fubfiiting
between the United States and the French Nation, in a
manner highly injurious to tlie interest and honor of the
United States, by re tfon UnitetTStates are
relezfei from all obligation on tlicir part to refpcCt the laid -
thereby,
Refotet di That ris expedient to malce a Legifiative de
claration, notifying the t’.tiz;*ns of the United States, and
all others conceriad, that the said treaties are np longer
obligatory upon States.
Resolved, Thatpi'ovilion ought to be made by au

under the authnritybf the French Republic, and belongii.g
to the said Reptibhd, or any of the citizens thereof, or of
its- dependencies; to amtinue and be in force until the
French Government revoke and annul tlie orders and de- —
crees authorizing the capture and deftrucribn of the velTels
and property of the citizens of the United Stales, contrary
to the laws of nations.
Refolvedy That provision ought to be made by law,
granting a bounty, in proportion to tlie size and number of
guns, on all armed velTels wbiefi fhnli be taken and brought
into any of the ports of the United States belonging to the
Republic of Francep or any other of the citizens thereof,
or of its dependencies, or others failing under authority, or

We are informed from tlie Havana that a great number -
of French privateers are conftandy cruising off that port,
who carry in there all the neutral veffds they meet with;
and their Agents ule every art that can be thought of to
get them condemned. In one instance it was proved that
ar> Fxiglilh fk g was ftpuggjcd on board the prize, rin order
to make it appear that llie h?.d failed under it. But this
conduct of the Freuth is said to be very disagreeable to the
Spaniards, who are anxious to preserve tlie friendlhip of
neutrals, and cf the Americans in particular, and do slot
fuffer any veflbl-to condemned unless the grounds of fee
proceedings agaiihlt her are fcftabfifhed'in a clear and latif

ADDBBbS to the PRESIDENT.
To JOHN ADAMS, President cf tbe United States*
Sir,
THE underwritten Inhabitants of the City of Savan
nah, and its vicinity, impressed with a just sense of
of the value of national independence, and of the wildoni
and virtue which has chara&erized a government so happily

hold their approbation to the measures which you have
pursued at a juncture so critical to tlie United States a# -
the present.
Fondly anticipating tlie restoration of a good understand

a nation for whom America had always manifefted fentt

with pleasure tlie departure of the Commissioners intruded
with this object,, whole personal characters juftified an en*
tire confidence (and which the event has proved not to ha'’*
been misplaced) that no luitable means would be neglected
in pursuing the important object of their milfion. Ana,
