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 tiie prdident of the United.

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 without htJitAtiony if this injustice ‘offera the le'aft utility.
