JUDICIOUS OBSERVATIONS
[From the last Centime!,]
On the above NEWS from FRANCE.
[O ° ur readers <will perceive by dur
remarks on the fay? article Sr paragraph of
the foregoing news, that me deem it official.
/11l the Frertch papers being under Inftec
torfoip ofthe Minister of the Interior, we
have a right to colder their contents as
authorized by the government. On the firfl
fcflion of this paragraph, nue remark that
the French -writer does not appear acquaint
ed w:th his fubjeri—ln our opinion the
great objeri of the mission was not the eon
clufion of any treaty of alliance or commerce;
but to demand reparation for the fpoilations
by French vessels on the Commerce of the
United States, amounting to between
'Twedt) and Thirty Millions of dollars.—
We are warranted in this opinion from the
nature ofthe miffion —For the President of
the United States knew before hefent the
Envoys, that the French had violated and
therefore, annulled the Treaties exifiing be
tween the United States and France ;—>
that he bad signed the aft declaring those
treaties no longer obligator, ort the United
States •,and that by the Brjtifo treaty,the
United States ana Great-Britain had re
ciprocally engaged net to grant certain pri
vileges to ally other nation.—The reparation
bufoief, therefore, was the firft object ofthe
mission ; and the French government, had
it been in the leaf degree inclined to have
aded honefly, would bate entered immedi
ately on this bufinefs—Jor it is a plain and
jimple matter of right and wrong, uncon
nected with the British treaty, or any other
treaty whatever.
Remarks on the 2d paragraph of the a
bove news —We conceive it to be our duty
to lay intire before our readers the 25th
article ofthe treaty with Great-Britain ;=
which is in these words : " Art. 2fc It
ihall be lawful for rhe ships of war and
privateers belonging to the said parties
refpedively, to carry whitherfoever
they please, the Ihips and goods tak

obliged to pay any fee to the officers of
the admiralty, or to any judges what
ever ; nor Khali the said prizes when
. they arrive at, and enter th^ ports of
the said parties, be detained or seized ;
neither ffiall the searchers or other of
ficers of those places visit such prizes
(except for the purpose of preventing
the carrying of an, part of the cargo
thereof on shore in any manner contra
ry to the eftabliffied laws of revenue,
navigation, or commerce) nor shall such
officers take cognizance of the validity
of such prizes; but the, ffiall be at lib
erty to hoist fail, and depart as speedily
as may be, and carry their said prizes

vateers ffiall be obliged to shew. No
Shelter or refuge ffiall be given in their
ports t 5 such afrhave made a prize Up
on the fubjeds, or citizens of either of
the said parties ; but if forced.by Grefs
of weather or the dangers of the sea, to
enter therein, particular care ffiall be
taken to hasten their departure, and to
cause them to retire as soon as possible.
Nothing in this treaty contained ihall,
however, be construed or operate contra
* ry to former and exiting public treaties
with other sovereigns or states.-But the
two parties agree, that while they con
tinue in amity, neither of them will, in
future, make any treat, that ffiall be in
continent with this or the preceding ar
cle."
'[We need not remark on this article ;
it mufl be evident, that its objeri was to fe
eurp to France all the privileges foe enjoy
edfrom her treaties with the United States,
and which foe might fill have enjoyed, bad
foe not violated them by her numerous pira
cies on American commerce, and the con
tumelious treatment of our commissioners of

to her privateers to refpe& all neutral

mation ; if the releases the American

she add thereto a remuneration for pad
fpoilations, the American people Will
readily dispense with the business of

fon / words) will bold them as they
bold the rest of the world, " enemies
'"""'' n peace Friends."
[Remark on the Qband stb paragraphs
[^ What logicians these French
men can be, when a turn is to be answer
ed. What ? Still think the treaty of
1 778, in force, after all their infractions
of it, and after a knowledge of the law
of Congress on the fubjed, passed TWO
YEARS before—and spoken of by
them, even before Mr. Murray receiv
ed the communications from Talley
rand's clerk ? Impossible ! But how
comes it, that the treaties of 1778, were
the basis bn which alone the V. States
could demand reparation for the inju
ries they had received ? Were not the
French piracies and conduct a violation
not only of the treaties of 1778, but of
the laws of nations, and all those prin
ciples ofjuftice and honor which ought
to bind States? And would not those
laws and principles intitle us to redress ?
Reason and Common sense must an
swer in the affirmative.
t^ Two remarks here intrude them
felves—<The firft is, that the only con
dition on which France will consent to
promise compensation for illegal cap
tures, is, that, of the renewal of the
" Treaty of alliance, eventual and defen
fve," cf 1778 ; for it is this treaty to
which the modification of the rith ar
ticle was proposed by the Washington
Envoys.—The second is, that if France
infills on the conditions of the jdpoint,
no agreement can take place—for the
United States, never will be compelled
to break the treaty with Great Britain,
merely to gratify France. Thefine story
about the principle of neutral bottoms
constituting neutral property “is one
of thofeflatterign lulabies which a French
diplomatist knows how very well to in
vent, and to retail on suitable occasions.
ration ? In the name of justice, how
long did they exp'ed the United States
ihrould patiently endure these aggrava
ted injuries ? Not surely until they had
nothing left worth preferring ! But we
assert unequivocally, THAT THE
FRENCH GOVERNMENT WAS
THE FIRST TO VIOLATE, AND
THEREFORE TO ANNUL THE
TREATY OF 1778'! —which they
did by their numerous and often recit
ed a&s refpeding American vessels
by the captures made by their national
ships and privateers ; and by the func
tioned decisions of their Courts of Ad
miralty. Proofs innumerable could be
adduced in fapport of this aifertion :—
But we will content ourselves with
merely giving the a& of the U. States
passed the 7th July,. 1798, declaring the
Treaties heretofore concluded with
France po longer obligatory on the U.
States. The words of this memorable
a& are : " IFbereas the treaties concluded
between the United States and France have
BEEN REPEATEDLY VIOLA
TED on th part 0, the French govern
ment ; add the just claims of th United
States for reparation of the injuries so com
mitted, have been refufed, & their attempts
to negotiate in an amicable adjustment of
all complaints between the two nations, have
hen repelled with indignity :—And where
as, under the authority of the French Gov
ernment, there is yet purfaed against th U.
States, a system of predatory violence, in
framing the said treaties and htfile to the
rights of a free and independent nation e—
Be it enacted, &c. That the United States
are of right freed and exonerated from the
filiations of the Treaties, and ofthe Con
sular Convention heretofore concluded be
tween the United States and France."—^
Having thus shewn, that the French
government was the firft to violate and
annul the Treaties of 1778, and that
the aft of Congtefs above recited, was
merely a measure of Self-defence—we.
shall shew that France has no right of
complaint, that our Envoys were not
commissioned to renew those treaties ;
for the treaty between the U. States
and Great-Britain, with all its condi
tions having been concluded in 1794,
mud have been fufficiently known and
thoroughly Understood in France :—
Because they must therefore have
known, that if they annulled the Trea
ties of 1778, that by the 25th articled
the Britiffi treaty, the United States
Were feftrided from regranting to
France, the privileges they contend for.
Knowing this, if they have chosen to
violate and annul those treaties, they
ought to be contented with the conse
quences. We trust the importance of
the fubjed will render an apology for
the prolixity of this more unnecessary.

The French funds continue to rife in the ex

Inumerous1 numerous circumstances it is inferred that very

I and that the Courts of Berlin and Peterfburgh
take part in then. The French Papers intimate
that the Cabinet) of fyffia and Austria were

new ministers have been appointed by each

By lettters from Vienna, it seems the Preli
minaries of peace are already agreed Upon, and
this is probably true. Duroc is no doubt gone
to sign, and ultimately adjust them. From
many circumstances we may conclude that the
pacification of the Continent, for the present,
is not very far distant; but with this country
levery appearance announces continued hostili
ties. A camp is forming between Amiens and
Beauvais under Gen. Murat, the avowed objeCt
I of which is to assist in the " Naval war," or in

A Letter from an intelligent gentleman of this
town, now in London, dated Aug. ,th, contains
the following paragraph :—" This day an A
merican gentlenian arrived from Paris, and in
formed me, that the negotiations between our

had been received from Paris, which announce
ed the failure of the American Envoys, in the
object of their miffinn—that they were to take
their departure from France, in the Portsmouth,

FROM THE BOSTON MERCURY.
M its. Printers,
As the Case of the Pigou, lately restored in
France, has been published with eclat and much
relied on, it may be ufeful to publish the cnclof
ed precious document to accompany it. This
and other information you will find in the
following extracts. Yours, A. B.
Extrad of a letter, dated London, August 11, 1800.
“ By the enclosed newspaper, which I believe
to be correct, you will learn the present Rate of
our affairs with France. [Alluding to the ac
count published under Paris head, 6th of Au
guft].
" It isagreeable to information given me late
ly by an American from Paris. The French
Government will not probably relax until the
election of Prcfi lent be made—with Jeftrfon
they perhaps expe& to make their gwn terms.
Our flag in the mean time may be refpe&d—
it will aid their views.
" This American relates some extraordinary
instances of corruption at Par's, with which he
was personally acquainted. You may do almost
any thing with money. Bribe the ministers or
owners of privateers as you please. Fifty tbou
fand Livres to the minister of marine's bureau,
obtained, perhaps, the restitution of the Pigou.
In another instance, an owner ofa privateer be
>ing paid more than he could have obtained by
the condemnation of ad American vessel, per
suaded the rest of the owners to consent to refu
tation. In all cases it is best to make a compro
mise with all or some of these rascals ; if you
will not, and obtain a decree of restitution, they
become bankrupts and all is loft. They are
more profligate and corrupt in France than
ever.
" The court of Appeals here, have reversed
the sentences of condemnation of two Philadel
phia vessels and cargoes bound from Havannah
to Philadelphia. The proof of property was
fufficient, and the Court pronounced the trade
to the Spanish Colonics to be legal—not a breach
of our qgutrality.
" Notwithftandihg the many lessons given,
some of you will continue to expofc your pro
perty. A vessel belonging to, and bound from
Salem to Cadiz has been detained and sent into
Plymouth. The captor pretended that Cadiz
was in a state of blockade. It has never been
declared so, of course this vessel is not liable on
that account to confifeation ; but if it should
appear that the cargo of this vessel was brought
by her from Havanna, the voyage th Cadi±
may be considered as the continuation of an ille
gal voyage, i. e, from a belligerent colony to the
mother country.
“ Shduld not the Captors proceed againff the
vessel and cargo, they will raise these difficulties
to juftify the detention and their demands on us
for their eXpences.\
“ The last papers from France brought the
repeal of the decree which prohibited the ex
portation of goods from hence to France. Ship
ments are again making for that country."

sonable being would heficate a moment, which
of the two diseases (hould be preferred. That
those who have had the cow-pock, are perfca
ly secure from the contagion of the small-pox,
has been evinced by innumerable cases. 1 have
had children who have had the cow-pock in
oculated with the small-pox over and over a
fain, sleep in the fame bed, play With children
laboring under a dreadful confluent small-pox,
touch in other cases ever, pustule, and no disease
be Communicated. I have had also abundant
proof that the cow-pock is not infectious.l
have inoculated children at the breast of mo
thers, whn have had neither disease, and have
gone regularly through the cow-pock, without
communicating it. I have often inoculated one
child after another in a family, without reason
for apprehension, to convince the relatives of
the slightness of the cow-pock ; and it has never
failed to exceed the expectations even of the fond
eft parents, this disorder being so incomparably
mild ! the cow-pock is an xra in the annals of
medicine, and must redound eternally to the
honor of Dr. Jenner, who was sent to detect
and generally apply this noble difeovery.
N, B. Inoculation for the cow-pock ft per
formed, every day. No preparation is required,
or any medicine given during, or after, this dis
ease.
