I)PAR Stß,—During my interview with the Mariris cif Carmnrthen, lie told we that it sv4s en.tomaty for every tiiteign Minister, nt Ids first presentation to Ole Itiing, to make his N 1 mjes!)? tiottle complitnettis colift:rtmthle to the spirit of ervdentidls ; when Sir Clement Colrel 1)or- fl er, the master ,)r the cerromoirs, come to tn. tot In me that he shooid ttecoropAny me to the Sec' e• tar/ of State, and to Coutt, he said the t y,” 1 0 • reign minister whom lie had attended to d. Queen, had always made HIS h4r3llane to her 111 , jesty, awl he understood, though lie had not been present, that they always harangued the King. On Tuesday evening rut Raton de Lvtolen (Dutch Anibassedoi) callwl lipnn me, end said he came trout the Blroll Nelkio (Swedish ('.nvoy), MO had been convers ing upon the cituation I was in ; and they agreed in opinion that it was indispensable that I should nul k e a , peech, and that it sloodd be as COMplir mental . ) , as po,sible. All this was parallel to the advice lately giten by the Count de Vergennes to Mr. J►-dierson. So that finding that it was a custom established at both these great Courts, awl that this Com t and the foreign 111iniste ‘ rs expected it, 1 thonglit 1 could not avoid it, although my first thought and inclination had been to deliver my credentials silently and retire. At one, on AVNlnesriny the Ist of ;tine, the master of the cc- remunies edited at guy house, an►l went wiih rue to tie Secretary of ; Irlte'S Office, in Cleveland row, where the Marquis of Carmarthen received me, and introduced toe to Mr. Frazier, his Under :secretary, who had been, as his Lotdship said, totintertoptedly in that office, through all the changes in Admini.tration, for 30 years, havitp.: first beet) appointedby the Ball of Holderness After * short conversation. upon the subject of imporing my effects from 'Holland and France, tree of duty, which Mr. Frazier himself intro.. thiced, Lord Carmarthen ivlited me to go with him in his coach to Conrt. When we arrived in the anti-chamber, the CEit de Beuf, of St..ritnes, the Master of the Ceremonies mei me, and at- tended me while the Secretary of State went to take the commands of the King. ‘Vhile I stood in this place. where it seents all Ministers stand upon Inch occasions, always attended by the Master of Ceremonies, tie room vet y full of Mi. Histers of State, Bishops, and all other sorts of Courtiers, as well as the next room, which is the bed-chamber, you may well suppose that I was the focus of all ryes. J Was relieved, how ever, from the embarrassment of it by the Swedish and Dutch Ministets, who came to me and enter tained me in a very agreeable conversation during the whole time. Some other Geittlemen whom I had seen before, came to make their compliments too—until the Marquis of Carmarthen returned, and desired me to go with him to his Majesty ! 1 went with his,Lordship through the levee room into the King's closet—the door was shut, end I was left with his Majesty and the Secretary of State alone. I made the three reverences ; one at the door, another about half-way, and the third before the presence, according to the usage esta blished at this and all the northern Courts of Europe, and then addressed myself to his Ma jrsty in the following words : " SlR—The United States of America have Ap pointed me their Minister Plenipotentiary to your Majesty, and have directed me to deliver to your Majesty this letter, which contains the evidence of it. It is in obedience to their express coma mends that 1 have the honour to assure your Ma jesty of their unanimous disposition and desire to cultivate the most friendly and liberal intercourse bet W ten your Majesty's subjects and their citi zens, and of their best wishes for your Majesty's health and happiness, and for that of your Royal Family. " The appointment of a Minister from the United States to your Majesty's Court will form an epoch in the history of England and America. I think myself more fortunate t h an all my fellow citizens, in having the distinguished honour to be first to stand in your Majesty's Royal Presence in a diplomatic character ; and 1 shall esteem myself the happiest o( men if I can be instrunten ral-in recommending my country more and more to your Majesty's Royal Benevolence, and of re- storing an entire esteem, confidence, and affection, better words, the old good nature and the . good old humour' between people, who, thOuKb separated by an ocean, and under different Go vetnments, have the same language, a similar re ligion, a kindred blood. I beg your Majesty's permission to add, - that although I have son►e times before been entrusted by my country, it was never before in my whole life in a manner so agreeable to myself." The King listened to every word I said, with dignity it is true, tint with an apparent emotion, ‘Vhetber it was the vacate of the interview, or whether it was my visible agitation, for 1 felt more than I did or could express, that touched him, I cannot say, but he was much affected, and angwefed me with more tremor than I bad spoken and said— " Si it—The circumstances of this audience are so extraordinary, the language you have now held is So extremely proper, and the feelings you have discovered so justly adapted to the occa►ion, that I must say, that I not only receive with pleasure the assurance of the friendly disposition of the rjoitA stales, 'hut tbat 'ce'ry the . oltoler: has fallen upon you to be their Nlinisser. I wilt. you, Sir, to believe, that It May be understood in America, that. tone done tMthing iii late contest but what I thought myself indiTensably hound to do, by the ditty which I owed to lily people. I will be very frank with you. I • uai the last to conform to the separation ; but ..the separation having been mode, and having become inevitable, I have always said, as I say now, that I would be the first to meet the friendship of the United States as an independent power. The nto... meta I see such sentiment and language R 9 your 4 s prevail,, and a disposition to give this counqy the preference, that Moment I shall say, let the cir -, cumstances of language, religion, and blood bet‘i their natural and full effect." dare not say that these were the King's pre cise words, and it is even possible that 1. 4 may have in some. particular mistaken his meaning ; for although his protrunciation - ii as distinct ris,.l ever beard, be hesitated sometimes between hip periods, and between numbers of the same period. lie was indeed much affected, Ant I tit'', not Iris so, and therefore I cannot be certaluiliat 1 was so attentive, heard so cleat ly, and understood o per. lectly, as to he confident, of all his words or sense ; and I think, that all which lie said to me should at preient be kept - secret in - America, 41117 less his Majesty or his Secretary - of Sta'c shaold . , judge proper to report it. This do say, that the foregoing is his Majesty's meaning, as I titeti understood it, and his own words ors nearly its. call recollect them. ..... , The King then asked.Arre whethfr I came 14vt from France ? and upon my answering in the affirmative, he piit on an air nt familiarity, and smiiing, or rather laughing, said, ". there is an opinion among some people s that yon are not th'e . most attached of all your countrymen to the m3ll - of France." I was. surprized at this, be cause 1 thought it en indiscretion, and a descent from his dignity. 1 was a little•embarrassed, lint determined not 10 deny the truth on one hand, nor leave him to infer from it any attachment to Eng 7 land on the other. 1 threw of as much gravity as 1 could, and assumed an air of raielY, and .a tone of derision, as far AS was decent, and 940,- " That opinion, Sir, is not mistaken I must avow to your Majesty 1 have no attachment b.tt ro my own country." The King replied as quick as lightning. "An honest men will bevel - have any other." The King then said a word or two to the Secre- tary of State, which being bet teen them, I did not hear, and then turned round and bowed to mz, as is customary with all Kings and hinees, when they - give the signal to retire.-1 retreated, stepping backwards, as is the etignette, and mak ing my list reverence at the door of the chamber, I went my way ; the MAster of the Ceremonies joined me the moment of my coming out of the King's closet, and accompanied me through all the apartments, down to my carriage, several stages of servants,lClPell porters, and nuder porters, roaring out like thunder, as I went along, " Mr. Adams's servants, Mr. Adams's carriage," I have been thus minute in these details, be cause they may be useful to otl►ers hereafter to know. The conversation with the King I should not (litre to withhold from Congress, who will letup their own judgment 44 it. .
