thought proper to do, ^nd to coun
tenance in opposition to the laws of
the land ?" As er the government
had ihftruaed our Miaifter at Paris
to desire Mr. Genet's rccal, and to
1 declare to the government of France
" The necessity of their having a
Reprefeotative here disposed to re
fpet tthe laws and authority of the
country, and to do the best for their
interest which these would permit;"
" and when it was only an anxious
regard for those interests, and a de
sire 'hat they might not fuffer, which
induced the Executive in the mean
time to receive his communications
fa writing, and to admit the con
tinuance of his functions so long as
they should be retrained within the
limits of the law, as therefore an
nounced to him, or ihould be of the
tenor usually obfrved towards inde
pendent nations by the Representa
tive of a friendly power refining with
them ?" Under such circumstances,
what anfiver could the Executive re
turn to Mr. Genet more preper, and
more marked with attention toFrance
than that his letter " would be con
sidered with all the refpea and inter
est which its objed necessarily re
quired ?"
It is probable that the powers to
negotiate a commercial treaty, were
not renewed to Mr. Genet's fuccef
for ; certainly they were not com
municated to our government.
We now come to the frefli over
tures of a commmercial negotiation
made by Mr. Adet.
The firft notice of them are found
in memoranda of fads, dated the
17th and 39th of June, 1795, and
fubferibed by the Sec. of State. By
these it appears that, on the i,h of
June Mr. Adet arrived at Philadel
phia. On the i,h Mr Fauchet in
troduced him to the Sec. of State.
On the 16th Mr. Adet informed the
Secretary that he mould the next day
fend him some a& of the French goy
eroment, relative to commerce—but
it was not fait. On the xzd of June
Mr. Adet war reminded of the prom
ised communication. He laid it was
copying, and gave reason to feppofe
- that he ihould forward it on that day
—but on that day nothing was re
ceived. [to BE CONTINUED ]

The special agenti es the Ex

Co fidering that, the ports of
the ithndi at the windward and
I leeward, at well as those of De
marara, Essequibo, and Berbice,
delivered up to the English, oc

emigrants, arein a state of per
mameot siege, and ought not
to enjoy the fame advantages
las the ports of the different En
glish colonies possessed by that
power before the war, and by'
other title :'
Coofidering it to be contrary
ito every principle to treat a
horde of rebels, without coun.
try, without government or a
flag;with the fame regard which
civilized nations observe among
Themselves during war :-
Considering that by authen
tic a&s in our possession, it is
I proved that divers places of the
icolonies delivered to the Eag
[lifh by the French and Dutch
I rebels, belong not to the British
I government, more than La
I Vendee, in which the English
bminiftry had also their merce-
I nary troops, regiments in theirr
Ip a y, scaring the fame uniform
lasI as the troops of the King of

Considering that by virtue
of the second article of the
treaty of alliance concluded at
Paris, Feb. 6th, 1778, between
the United States and France,
the former power engages to
defend the pofftffions io Ame
;rica io case of war, and the
government and commerce of
the United States have ftraoge
ly abated the forbearance of
the French Republic, in turn
ing to her detriment the favors
which had been accorded to
them, of entering and trading
in all the ports of the French
colonies:
By permitting for a longer;
time neutral veffeb to carry
jprovifions of war and of fob
j fiftence to men evidently in a

[the means of prolonging civil
Iwar, the calamities and the
