Mr. Gerry to M. Tallyrand.
g. In the last Mirror, we gave M
Talleyrand's letter to Mr. Ger
ry, on communicating to him bis
passports. By the Sophia, arrived at
Boston, we received Mr. Gerry's
Aufwer :—lt follows—and demand, a
careful perufel.
Letter from Mr. Gerry, to the
Minifler of Foreign Rela
tions of the French Repub
lic.
Mr. Gerry having seen in the Redac
teur of this morning the publication of a
letter to him from the Minister of For
eign Affairs to the French Republic, dat
ed the 24th Meffidor, requests him to
order a just trauflation of the Answer,
dated the 20th July, to be also published.
Mr. Gerry beingon the eve of his de
parture from Paris, presumes the Minis
ter will readily comply herewith, to pre
vent partial and undue representations
against him in his absence.
Paris, July zg, 1798.
Mr. GERRIS Answer,
To the Minister of Foreign Af
^ fairs' Letter of the 24th
CITIZEN MINISTER,
MT Received on the 27th of
Meffidor, your letter of
the 24th, (the 12th July) on
which permit me to make
some obfervatigns.
You alledgc that in the
United States the French Re
public is accused of not wish
ing for peace, and to shew
that it was always desirous
thereof, you recur to the arri
val of M. Genet in America.
Far from accusations of any
kind, I with to cultivate har
mony between thetwo Gov,
ernments as the solid basis of
peace. From that epoch to
the departure from the U. S.
the French Minister in Ame
rica, and the American Min
ih'fl^Vth^^
Inappy differences oetween
ces the sincere desire of the
Government ofthe United S.
amidst the inevitable embar
hffTents refniting from the
convulfire state of Europe, to
prbferve harmony and friend
fhip with the French Repub
lic, and to perform with scru
pulous attention the duties of
neutrality. If by any unfor_
tunate events, France had
sustained injuries during that
term, still the mani'eft dispo
sition of the Government of
the United States to joffice
arid moderation was d sure
pledge of redrefc.
When Mr. Munroe was
recalled, a Minister was sent
to supply his place, and you
fay he could net be received
because te was netin a situ
atioh to fulfil the conditions
necessary for the renewal of
the political connections I
Had he been received, he
could have applied for other
powers if necessary; nothing
is more usual. The applica
tion which you have lo stren
uously urged on my part must
have been for the renewal
of powers annuled by the a&
of fending away the other
Envoys ; surely then your ar
guments uould have applied
with much more force to the
case of a Minister whose pow
ers were only supposed inade
quate co the objea of his mif^
fion. The aft of rejecting this
Minified accompanied with
ciitumftances of bighdifpleaf
ure on the part of the Govern
ment of the French Republic,
could not fail to wound deep
ly the Government of the U.
States, arid to produce obser
vations on such an important
event. Let the cause arid ef
fe& be buried in oblivion, the
remembrance thereof cannot
promote harmony. This you
will readily accede to when
yboconfider the amicable and 4
attentive condua immediate
ly adopted by the American;
Government in fending three
Envoys Extraordinary, with
adequate powers, to effe& a
reconciliation and a renewal
of the commercial iriercburte
between the Republics.
: From the arrival of the
Envoys at Paris to the depar
o°^r^^t
fated by inoperable bars a
w^^i^w 'the
f-afrit'
would nave involved tnemin]
pnArtf 1
pecuniary reparations for the
observations hinted at. To
wards the end of that period,
after imposing on me fecrec/,
you flatted the embarraffinents
and ditiatisfaaion of the Exe
cutive l^ireaory, on account f
of the opinions and coiverfa
tions of my colleagues, its de
termination not to treat wiih
/them, and its desire to neg>-
elate with me ; and vou ad
ded, that my departure would
produce an immediate rup
ture. Aftenifhed as I was at
thiscommunication,! informed
lyou that! had no powers to
treat feparatcly, the measure
was impossible ; and chat had
my powers been adequate,
a treaty made Under such cir
cumstances could never be
ratified by my Government.
You differed from me, we
reasoned on the fubjedt, and
each adhered to his opinion.
I urged in vain the unreafun
ablenefs of admitting prejudi
ces against my colleagues
without informing them of
the causes thereof ; the good
effe<ft in removing these
which might result from such
information, and the necessity
of making known tothem, all
that had now passed between
us. You held me to the
promise of secrecy, adding,
that il I would negotiate, we
could soon finifli a treaty, for
the Executive Direacry were
not in the habit of fpeiiding
muchtimc about such matters.
Youdefired another interview,
in which, after a ditcuffion of
the fubjea, I confirmed and
adhered to my determination.
'ln this flare, affairs remain
ed for sometime, arid I flatter
ed myfelf with the hope that
failing in the proposition for
negociating with me, separ
ately, your next step would
be to accredit the three En
voys; in such an event, the
secrecy mentioned would have
been proper. This expecta
tion was strengthened by the
two fubtequent interviews
which they had with you, and
you m^y judge of my surprise
on the receipt of your letter
of the 28th Ventofe, contain
ing a refufal to treat with two)
of the Envoys, and renewing
the propofiuon to treat with
one. Trading that I was the!
person alluded to, and that all
hopes of our beingjoindy ac
credited were at an end, I a-^
