grain, Tailed provisions, and other ch
i’fts of which France had the molt
pressing need, added to the refufai
which he had already made officially,
of favouring this arrangement ; the
nofitive declaration, that even if it
were practicable, the United States
could not cement to it, became Eng
land would not fail to conlider tins
extraordinary reimburfment, furniih
ed to a nation with which The is at
war, as an ait of hoftiliiy. Bth. That
by ir.ilructions from the prdident of
the United States, the American ciu
zens, who ranged themselves under
the banners of France, have been
prosecuted and arrelted ; a crime a
gainst ‘iberty unheard of, of which a
virtuous and popular jury avenged
with eclat the defenders of the belt of
caufas. 9th. That incompetent tri
bunals were Suffered to take cog
nizance of facts relative to prizes,
which treat es interdict them exprefs
]y from doing : that on the acknow
ledgment of their incompetence, this
property, acquired by the right of
war, was taken from us ; that it was
thought id of that our can fills pro
tested a gain ft these arbitrary acts; and
that as a reward for his devotion to
his duty, the one of Bolton was im
prisoned as a malefactor. 10th. That
tiie prdident of the United. States,
took on himlelf to give to our treaties
arbitrary interpretations, absolutely
-contrary to their true sense ; ijnd
that by a Series of decisions which they
would have us receive as laws, he left
no other indemnification to France
for the blood die ipilt, for the trea„
fures ihe diflTpated, in lighting for the
jf indeperftlcnce oi the United States,
/ bur the iiln ory advantage of bringing
-*itito their ports, the prizes made on
their enemies, without being able to
fell them. Tith. That no anl’wer is
yet given to the notification of the
decree of the national convention for
. opening our ports in the two worlds,
to the American citizens, and pram.,
ing the fame favours to them as to the
Trench dozens : advantages which
Wft eaiV. it there he a continuance
to treat us with the fame injustice.
12th. That he has deferred, in spite
of my refpectful infjouations, to con
voke congress immediately, in order to
1 :ke the true sentiments of the people,
yto fix the political system of the Uni
ted States, and to decide whether
they will break, suspend, dr tighten
“their bands with France : an hon est
measure, which would have avoided,
to the federal government, much con
tradi&ion and fubterfuge : to me,
much pain and difgult ; to the local
governments, embairafTments, lo
much the greater, as they found them
feives placed between treaties which
’ are laws, and decisions of the federal
government, which are not : in fine,
to the'ttiburjals, duties so much the
more painful to fulfil, as they have
.been often under the neceffify of giv
ing judgments contrary to the inten
tions of the government.
It remits from all these fads, fir,
that I could not but be profoundly
affected with the conduct oi the fade-:,
ral government towards my country,
a conduct so contrary to what the will
of their Sovereign, to what the pro
ceedings of mine, gave rne reason to
expect'; and that if I have shewn
firmnefs, it is becaufeit wasindifpen
fable that my resistance should be e
quid to the oppression—to the inj.ifl.ice
—which were in eppofition to thein
terefts confided to me ; it is that if was
not in my character toipeak as many
people do, in one way, and ad in
another ; to have an official language
and a language confidential. 1 have
done flrictly my duty ; 1 have defend
ed my ground, and I will fuller no
precedent against any of the rights of
the French people, while there re
. mains to rne a breath of life ; while
they (hall not have persuaded the
Arm- Fan people that it is more ad
vantageous for them to become infen
ftb'iy the Haves of England, the pal-
fiive trioutaries.of their commerce, the
fperc of their politics, than to remain
t!;e a;nes of the only power who may
be intereftod to defend thlr sovereign
ty and their -independence ; to open
to them their colonies, and to their
riches these markets which double
their value.
Ji it be to this that tend all the
machinations set in motion against the
french republicans, and against their
friends in the United States ; if it be
to attain this more conveniently, that
they with to have here, instead of a
democrat ambafi'ador, a minuter of
the aricit nt regime n, very complaisant,
very mild, well drlpolcu to pay his
court to people in [’ace, to conform
hirnfc 1 f blindly to whatsoever may
flatter the!r views and their projects,
and to prefer above all, to the model!
and lure society of got ‘ farmers, plain
citizens, honest artizans, that of dif
tingufthed pvrfonages, who speculate
i’o patriotic*; 1 ■on t ... public funds and
the lands arm paper t.-f* ihe Rate :
I know not if Ihe French republic can
find for yon, a: this day, inch a man
in their b> k m —but in all events, fir,
I can alTir e you, that I will pref- vt ry
ftrougly is government toy! -cr:f.ce in
