I Mhall q}\ly;f;y.’ ithat the wipreioh they
made at Paris was unfavorable previous to
the arrival of the Envoys ; that this circum
flance alone has raised an obflacle which
.ought to have been forefeen at Philadelphia ;
that the Eavoys themselves unwilling to ob
serve the natural cfictt of such a species of
provocation, contributcd to recder its effe&t
more durable: - Ir, however, has finally
been made to yicld to the primitive desire
of a sincere reconciliation. A proof of this
you fee in the expedient figgefted of treat
ing with you {cparately, for a government
hostilely disposed would not have yielded to
that delicate bias which prefesves honor, yet
gives cffeét to pacific intentions. You have
_given me to underitand, Sir, that it would
g‘ave' been proper for the Executive Di
scftory to have backed the declarations I
have: made in their name by a change in the
eafures which affeft the commerce of the
Tlnite’d States. 1 can answer to yoti -that
our government had fufficiently alcertained
its obj&, in confirming, from the begifining,
to the French Republic, the rights which
flgw from its treaties. But let iis be less cx
afling, and more equitable, 6né towards a.
nother. Thoogh the meéafures taken by
France are cnly the consequence of tbol'z
adopied by the Urited States, you must
have remarked, in my propositions of the
‘soth Priarial, (Jude 18] that the intention
of the Exscutive Diretory is, that their re
fpedtive pretensions should be examined and
regulated collaterally. It intends to matk,in
one 2&, a durable mondment of the future
Friendship of the Iwo Republics—the justice
_which they owe to éach other ; and every
§dea of falle glory is distant frorh its mind.
.In taking leave of you, 3ir, I have thought
at my .duty togivé you this teﬁimon}r}of my

P. S. o 7 Meffidor; (July 15.) A eir
cumflance of infinite importance has re
tarded this letter. 1 know not how it s,
but at every flep towards a reconcilidtion
some caule of ‘irriiation intervenes, and
that it al ways originates in the United Scates,
Some days ago advices have been received
by the Executive Direélory. It seems that
your government hurried, beyondall bounds,
no longer keeps up appearances. A law
of the 7th lalt 'month authorifes it to cause
26 be attacked every Frenchithip of war
which shall have arrested or -entertained in
tentions of arrefling American veflels. A
Relolution of the House of Representatives
fafpends, from the 13th of this month, all
commercial relations with the French Re
public and its. dependencies. “Scveral pro-
Je@is of laws haye been proposed for ban
. ithing the French, and sequestrating French
~ property. : The long fuffering of the Di
xeQery is about to- shew itfelf in a 2 manner
ﬁt to be called in question: Perfidy can
Wever throw a veil over the pacific disposi
tions which it has never ceased to manifeft.
It is even at the moment of this new pro
vocation, when it would seem to have no
honorable choice but that” of war, that it
confirms the aflurances.l have given you on
its behalf.- In -the present crisis it confines
itlelf 1o a meafare of fecarity and ircfcrva
‘tion, by putting a temporary embarge on
American vellels, with a reserve of indem
nity if it takes place. Tt is flll ready, it is
as much prepared 48 ever to terminate by a
sincere negociation the differences which
fubfilt between the two countries. Such is
its repugnance to coofider the United States
as enemies, that, in {pite of their hostile de
monflyations, it means to wait till it be ir
zefiftibly forced by real hoflilities. :
Since you- intend to depart, hasten at
