As focn as the union of Bonaparte
with the Houfe of Auflria was an
nounced, vte exprefl'ed our belief that
though that power might fecure a
more permanent peace with France,
flie would not long remain at peace
with her neighbours. French policy
we forefaw would entangle her, her
principles of honor be filently Tapped
one after another, and that, at length
transformed by the polluted embrace
of her recent triend, flie would be
come a power as dreadful and def
tru£live as France herfelf. Fhe for
eign papers of this week bring us in
telligence (Irongly corroborative of
thefe views. A treaty of defevjive
alliance is faid to have been contradl
ed between the courts of Palis and
Vienna, bv which the latter is bound
to ajjijl France with an army ot
i 50,000 men. By this politic man
oeuvre Auflria will be drawn into all
the quarrels of France, and, as often !
as France fancies herfelf menaced,
or pretends to be injured by any pow
er whofe deflrudion flie intends, the 1
Auftrian compliment of men mufl
be ready to aid her in her work of
ambition, rapine, or malignity.—
Thus, though Auflria has no quar
rel with Turkey, France has found
one in the admiflion of Englifh vef
fels into the Ottoman ports : —to dif

therefore, under the cover of obliging
tl e Porte to exclude the Englifh, will
be the objecl of France, and to ac
complifh this objed the Auftrian
troops mufl be herd in readinefs —
On this fame fi&uious ground of a

the Italian peninfula, may afiift in a

Letters upon French Influence.
NUMBER X
To the People of the. United States.
The National Intelligencer, the g aa’ po
litic-! organ of the administration of jerter
st.n ; nd Madison, lirts manifested great ap
prehension in consequence of the publica
tion of No. VII. of these letters, and has1
attempted a formal refutation of it. In
point of style too pure fur the pen of Jeffer
son, too elevated to have been written by
the common paragraphists of Washington
City, and ind eating, when it is considered
that it is an attack which ue confess was
a very severe one, much more cf the manner
which naturally resuirs from the spirit of a
gintleman, than any other democrat In the
United States would be likely to display, it
is natural to asenhe tins performance to the
present President of the United States.
Rut whether it he the production of Mr.
Jefferson, of Mr. Madison, cf Mr. Sec
retarv Smith, of Mr. Granger, or of Mr.
Smith, the Editor of the Intel;%grn«cr, is
quite immaterial, as it is piesented to the
public with all the form and pressure” of
att official vindication of the last and present
administrations, now well known to be com
pb-t< ly amalgamated and indentified, in res
pect to our foreign relations, agar.st the
charge ofEjench Influence. Alli.ctigh the
writer of these letters cun never descend to
notice the miserable insects which some
urn. buzz about his ears, yet lie on wi|h
credit enter into an argument with The
Ad ministration, and will at once tak«*
up the gauntlet which it las thrown to
him.
Admitting, will) much candour, the per
feet correctness of every fact which was
stated in Nx Y U. Administration contends
that it could only be criminated one of those
facts, and that one it attempts to explain «
way. Tnis exnbnaaon is aitetopied in the
tallowing manner.
“ Who is there so ignorant is not to know
that in the treaty ni alliance oetween
France and Spain, men existing, there was
contained an article, preciseiy applicable
■ to this case ! t he wuofe v id knew that in
that tfe ty, after speaking of the relative

article *.

** i tiis is an extrart from the treaty. Un
I dt r the circumstances, the question said to
have been askt d by general ivitistiong was
(if asked) a superfluous one ; but, having
been asked, no other answer could have
been returned by Tally rand consist eriil}r
' with truth, but that it we went to war with
I Spain, Fiance (agreeably to her treaty)
“ could neither doubt nor hesitate ’ She
( could not but have taken part with Spain,
or have violated a most solemn treaty ”
What d *es administration mean by the
whole world ? Will it sav that five bun
dled persons in the United States knew
that such an article existed, as it has here
(undoubtedly) extracted from a copy which
has long been locked up in one ol its own
secret bureaux ? The writer of these let
ters certainly knew of tins treaty, and con
templated it as a proper subject of rema-k
in the cot se of his labours. And he is by
no means sorry that Administration has
drawn his attention to it thus early.
Administration must have learned from
Vattel, whose work, in reference to the
profound learning of our present Secretary
ot Slate, as displayed in Ins correspondence
with Mr. Jackson, a representative from
Connecticut (Mr. Pitkin) sarcastically cal
led “ a sort of text hook” for our govern
ment, that it is one tiling for a nation to be
obliged by treaty to furnish certain auxilia
ries to another nation, and quite a difltr
eni thing for a nation to “ make a common
I cause*’ with another, and enter into a soci
ety of war, especially with a nation
which “ the whole world knows” to have
no will ot its own, and to be in lact though
not in name a province of that power that
“ neither doubts nor hesitates” to “ take
part*’ in i s quarrels. Had w ar taken place
between the United States and Spain, and
had France furnished to Spain the auxiliary
force stipulated by trealy, this would not,
by the principles of the law of nations, have
produced a wat between the United States
and France. Besides, th • troops were “ to
be employed solely in Europe, or in defence
of the colonies which tiie contracting pow
ers possess in the Gulf of Mexico.” To a
war defensive on the part of the United
States, or offensive elsewhere than in Eu
rope or the Gulf of Mexico, the stipulation
would not be applicable. Knowing, as Ad
ministration did, that this article of alliance
existed, and that its terms would admit of
no more than one construction, why did
it ask the French Government what would
be its course in case of a war between U9
and Spam ? Because it wished to ascertain
whether France would stop at the point in
dicated by the treaty, or would in tact, act
ing upon the principle that there was “ no
Spain,” mufle the war her own, Having
ascertained—if indeed it can be said to have
ascertained what it well knew already—that
France would make war upon us if we
made war Uj»on Spain, and having ascertain
ed also that France wanted money, Admin
istration determined to buy oj, as one would
say in common life, by pa\ing eight millions
; of dollars for a boundary to that country for
which it had paid fifteen millions without a
boundary. This is the long and short of
the w'hole business. The statement, there
fore, that this threat on the part of France,
accompanied with a genteel hint that mon
ey would be acceptable, influenced Adminis
! tration to abandon the idea of honourably
! maintaining our rights against that power,
(remember there is no Spain) irjiuenced'w.
to succumb to that power in a most mean
and base manner, and influenced it to conceal
the state of our loreign relations from The
People, remains uncontradicted. Had
France said, “ It you go to war with Spain
we shall do no more than furnish Iter, a
greeably to treaty, with 18000 infantry,
6000 cavalry, and a proportionable train of
artillery,” as little of a soldier as the Com
mander m Chief of our Armies and Navies
was, it is perhaps but common charity to
believe that be would have contented him
self with giving up all our claims for Span
ish and French spoliations, and with relin
qiiislung West Florida and the immense re
gion between the Colorado and the Rio
Bravo, which countries he claimed as a part
of K .uisiana, in order to obtain a boundary
for the “ string of laad” that would then be
left to us. \\ ill anyr man now doubt that
Administration acted under the influence of
a fear of France ?
Administration has tacitly admitted (it
could not possibly have denied) the whole
ot the iac.s stated in No. Vil. Ii has ad
nruiteu that it had known tor years that
franc e managed all the concerns of Spain ;
that Thomas Jefferson lud been informed
by Ins agents abroad that it was the policy
ct 1 ranee to reserve Spam for events ; that
be falsly staled to Congress that it was the
pohey ot Spain to reserve herself for events
that our Ministers had offered to relinquish
ad our claim* for Spanish and French spo
liations ; that, in asserting that France was
disposed to effort a settlement between us
and Spain, lie was either guilty of asserting
another gross talshood, or of intimating to
Congress m a most artfull but most mean
manner, that money must be paid to France,
as her ternw wero “analogous” to those
(pecuniary) terms which our Minister had
a l re nay [vowosed ; and that he resorted to
means, superlatively base and wicked, to
procure an appropriation, which was to be
concealed from the people, of the money
thus to be paid to France. Not a little gra
tified, however, with an opportunity t<r;ir.

Of inr Enemv’i Allies ; Societies if War, Aux
. ti*lr*cs> av(L Subsidies.
$ . 8. W e have sufficiently spoken of tre.i
ties in general, that here we shall touch on
tins subject only in its particular relations
to war. Treaties relating to war are of
several and vary in their objects and
clauses, accoi tiwig to che will of those who
make them Besides applying to them „U
; V,at have suul ot treaties in general
; (dook II. chap. 12. &c.) il.ee may also be
‘ ,1,"a1cd •"«* Italics real aiul personal,
I equal and unequal, &c. But aUn llu.-e
wmch relate toiheir p.uicular object, war,
have their specific differences.
■§ T9. Under this relation, affiances made
fur war divided i.l geneisil into dejamxe
I
alVancPS and rf>;i* al j
1 f mer the ration engages only to 4*4 m
1 its aH) in case lie he attacked : in the Lt
UTa nation joins with lorn 4**r attacking
a r d Tor joint I v carrying the war into am
, ilier. Some alliances are both offen>iv
pnd defensive, and an alliance is sddoi
offensive without being also defensive
gut it is very usual for alliances to be { tir<
ly defensive : and these are in general th
most natural and lawful. It would be to
tcdiMis, and eve n of little use, togothrongl,
the detail of al) the variety in thes*» alii
apccs. Sotne are made without restriction
towards and against all : in other certain
states are cxccj ted : a third are formed
nominally, against siicii or such a na
tion
$80 But a difference of great importance
to ne observed, especially in defensive alli
ances, ir> that be.ween an intimate and c m
plete alliance, in which we engage to make
the cause common, and another in which we
promise only a settled succour ; the alliance
making a common cause is a society rfwar.
Every one acts with his whole force ; :*1
the allies become principals in the war ;
they have the same friends and the same en
emies : but an alliance of this nature as
more especially termed a society of war when
it is offensive.
§81. When a sovreign, without directly
taking part in the war made by another sove
reign, sends him only succour ot trot pi or
ships ; these are called auxiliaties. The
auxiliary troops serve the prince to whom
they are sent, according to their sovereign’s
orders. Ifgiven purely and simply without
restriction, they are to serve equally on the
offensive or defensive ; and in the conduct
of the several operations they are to obey
the prince to whose assistance they come
Yet this prince has not the free and tntire
disposal of them, as of bis own subjects;
they are granted him only for his own wars,
and he has no right to transfer them as aux
iliaries to a third power.
§ 83. For judging of the moralit y of these
several treaties or alliances, of the lawful
ness of them according to the law of the
nations. This must be laid down as an in
contestible principle Jt is lawful and com
mendable to succour urui assist, every way, a
nation m aking a just war ; and even this as
sistance is the duty of ev ery na Tn, which can
give it without being wanting to itself Rut he
who makes an unjust war is not to be assisted in
any manner. There is nothing in this which
is not demonstrated by all that we have
said of the common duties of nations towards
each other (Book ii. ch. 1.) To support
right when we are able, is always commen
dable • but to assist an unjust party is to
partake of his guilt, it is ha mg no less unjust
than himself.
§ 86* As it is allowable only in a just war
to send succours, or to make alliances ; so
every alliance, every society of war, every
treaty of succour?, previously made in time
of peace, when particular w ar is inten
ded necessarily and of itself includes this
i tacit clause, that the treaty shall take place
only in a just war. On any oilier footing
the alliance could not be validly contrac
ted.
§88. W hen alliances have thus been pre
viously contracted, the cases in which a na
tion is to act, in consequence of the alliance,
and in which the force of the engagements
consists, are no occasion to be determined.
I his is w^iat is called casus fader is, or case
of the alliance. It consists in the concur
rence of the circumstances for which the
treaty has been made, whether those cir.
cum&tances be expressly specified or tacit
ly supposed. Whatever has been promised
in the treaty of alliance is due to the casus
fadn is, and not otherwise.
§89. As the most solemn treaties cannot
oblige persons to favour an unjust quarrel
[Sect. 86 ] the casusfaderis never taxes place
in a war manifestly unjust.
§ 95. An engagement which may draw
on a war is of great moment : it concerns
the very safety of the state. He who in an
alliance promises a subsidy u • a body of
auxiliaries, sometimes thinks that he ri.sks
only a sum of money, or a certain number ot
soldier* ; whereas he often exposes him
self to war and all its calamities- The na
tion against which he furnishes succours
will look on him as their enemy, and should
the fate of their arms prove favorable, thev
will carry the war into his country. But it
remains to see whether such a thing can be
done justly, and on what occasions. Some
authors* decide in general, that whoever
joins our enemy, or assi«ts him against us
with money, troops, or in any other manner
whatever, becomes thereby our enemy, and
gives us a right of making w ar against him.
A cruel decision, and destructive of the
tranquility ot nations ! It cannot be sup
ported by principles, and happily the prac
tice of Europe is directly the reverse.
§ 101. But if a defensive alliance has not
been made particularly against me, nor con
cluded at the time when I was openly de
claring for wrar, or had already begun it,
and it the allies have only stipulated in it,
that each ot them shall turnish a stated suc
cour to him who shall be attacked ; I can
not require that they should neglect to ful
fil a solemn treaty, which they had an un
questionable right to conclude without any
injury to me. The succours furnished to
my enemy are the payment of a debt ; they
do me no wrong in discharging it, and con
sequently give me no jusi cause to make
war on them. [Sect. 26 J Neither can I
say that my safety obliges me to attack them,
for I should thereby increase the number of
my enemies, and instead of a slender suc
cour which they furnished against me,
should draw' on myself all the united force
i ot those nations Therefore it is only the
auxiliaries sent bv them who are rev cue
mtes. I hese are ac* iially joined to luy en- j
emies, and fight against me. Tlie contra
ry principles tend to multiply wars, and
spr«ul them without measure to the com
mon ruin of nations. It is happy fnr Europe
that herein agrees with the true {.""aciphrs.
A prince seldom takes upon him to com
pl.un of succours furnished for die defence
ot an ally, premised by former t: ties, b\
treaties not made against him. !:i the asi
war the united provinces fit ished the
Qjieen of Hungary with subsidies, and e
veu troops, and France never compl ined !
against tiiese proceedings till these troops, !

tiers. Switzerland, in vittue of its alliances

as well as humiliating, propositions, which
were made by President Jefferson to the
government of France\pret.endedly to Spain)
five or six weeks ago, and which are as yet
known only to the members of the Execu

shall detail most of the propositions which
Jefferson from time to time made to France.
