ing in concert with yon, to retftabtifn
the former good fandtrftandiog between
the French Republic and the United
States, I exerted my bast efforts both io
my conferences and in my correspon
dence with you,to facilitate the means,to
efebtifi the basis, to enter on the bufi
nete, and to convince you of the utility
with which yoar presence at Paris must
be attended. It was in your charader
of Envoy from the American Govern
ment, tost I received you, and that I
wrote to you ; it depended upon yourfelf
to be publicly received, and admitted by
the Executive Directory. Without coin
ciding in opinion with you, that any
• changes have been induced by the depar
ture oftMeffrs. Pinckney and Marshall in
the full powers in which! read that you
were afohorited to treat „arattlj, it ap
peered to me; that io the very hypothesis
in which you placed yourfelf, you ought
te refer the question so your Govern
ment, and in the interval to fix with me,
jn al»'m and friendly difeoffion, upon
att the disputable points on which we dif
fered. This way of proceeding was the
mote natural, because without attending
to the premature information which
y ou l 'government has obtained of the
offer to treat with you after the depar
ture of your colleagues, my note of 28
Ventofe, (March 28) which must have
reached Philadelplia, towards the end of
Floreal, left no Shadow of a doubt on
this fubjea—it contains three objeds per
fedly diftind—it begins by rectifying,
with the dignity that belongs to the
French Government, the statement of
grievances made by the United States,
and drawn out by their Envoys, in the
inverted order of fads the preceeding 28
Nivofe, (Jan. 17) —it next points out
the motives that prevented the negocia
tion being carried on with the Envoys
colleaively. It finally declares, in the
most fe^emn manner, the conciliatory
disposition of the Executive Diredory,
and its formal desire of reuniting, be
tween the two countries, the ties of their
ancient amity, and the intention of treat
ing with you. Such an explicit declara
tion could not have been made but with
the view of furnishing the President of
the United Stales with infallible means
of coming to an accommodation. It was
throwing down a pledge of peace in or
der that it might be taken up., I pre
sumed to think that you could not be
long without receiving analogous instruc
tions, and even other powers, were they
necessary ; or at least, that if you had
announced to the President a design of
returning to America, some other Envoy
would come and accomplish the happy
tefk which we Should have the fatisfaaion
of preparing.-?To hopes, thus solidly
founded, there were added some obferva
tiens on the inconveniences th: , atten
ded your departure. I gave you to un
derftaad, that notwithftariding your assu
rances tome, no one would believe that
it proceeded solely from your own incli
nation, from a thorough convidion of
the invalidity of your powers, or from a
desire of feeing the business of the nego
tiation intro® to other hands. I ob
served to you on the cenjedores to whi&
it would give rife ; on the means it
would finish to the British Cabinet,
that spares no pains to its endeavours to
drive France and the United States to
extremities from which it alone would
derive advantage ; and even on the very
fufpidons that it must call up in the
mind of the French Government.^ I en
deavoured to make you fee into its pot
fible consequences ; but a variety of dr
retarded the reconciliation of the two
Republics ; it is but natural for him who
feels a sincere folici^de for Pe%to be
under apprehensions left new obstacles
Should arise to retard it. These conft
derations which I Shall ever recoiled
w i.h pride, induced me to oppose the de
sire which you had entertained of quit
tino France Rot vow peremptorily ill-|
inst The Directory hat consequently 1
Ivourleltanci tor tne reneiinat awuiijyuul
Qcmtm—^B.^^
and the communication of wh^t has prfi Z.
fed between us, Since you only have re
presen ted sour government, remove thgtg/j
injurious opinion of hostile intentions
the part of France ! You hare frequently''
ly assured me, that if you could not treble
here as Envoy, your goad offices Oioalf
not be wanting as a citizen oil your--.
turn to the United States- It were fo^
possible for you to render a more figr.al
Service to the two countries, than by
contributing to make their political and
commercial relations accord with their
inclination and their iotert ft. Assure
your government that the Executive Di
re&ory perfevertoin the intention of loy
ally and Sincerely endeavouring to re
concile the differences' that have arisen
between the French Republic and the
United States, as soon as an opportunity'
of so doing Shall be Sincerely held out.
If it be really true, that the diffefitfone
of your government, are prepared to co
operate, let them but give a proof of it,
and you before-hand answer for its fnc
cefs. Yau cannot dissemble, Sir, that if
nothing has prevented you from follow
ing up with me the examination and
the redrtffion of the grievances which di^
aide the two countries, we Should not
lohg stand in need of any thing but out
refpeaive ratifications. Who can enter
tain a'doubt of the French Government, .
when it Shall be known that for now near
ly three months every pacific felicitation
came from me, and that in faithful com
pliance with the engagements I contrast
ed in my note of 28 fatty; (March iS)
was the firltferioufly to press forward the<
business of the negociation after the de
parture of M^ffrs. Pinckney and Mar-
Shall ? It will, I trust, be said that a refo
fal to treat with them argued an unwil
lingness to come to a conciliation, where
as that refufil was accompanied with a
promise to treat with you, and yuur full
powers represented you as a perfoo who
was authorized to treat separately. To
that document Shall I ibceffanily appeal,
because it is the basis of the opinion
which your government ought to have
formed, and that even in admitting jod
were tied down by secret refttiaions, I
could not in my mind oppoQvhat I do
not know from the trim due t,your os
tensible authority. Yes, Sir, when
Scarcely acquainted with the departure of
Mess. Pinckney and Marshall, J made it
a point, in every conference .which 1 held
with you from that moment, to evince to
you the urgency, the propriety, the pos
sibility of in aflive negotiation. I col
leded your ideas; they were different
from mine. I laboured! to reconcile
there, and I was about to tranfrait pro
posals to you when a packet frnmteu,
government arrived at Havre. You thm ?
seemed prepared to depart. Till then I'
had never imagined that you conceived
the design of embarking till we had come
to an agreement upon the.definitive arti
cles to be ratified by ycur government.
A few days after, I received Some dis
patches from Philadelphia, which for a
moment gave a nep turn to my corres
pondence with you. Upon the ^zdFt
arial, (June 10,) I notified to you that
the difp< fitions of the Executive Directo
ry were the fame, and I requested you to
.inform me whether you were in a frtia
tion to negotiate T Upon the feth^tid,
riel, (June 18) I transmitted you a com
plete plan of negociation. Upon the gilt
Meffidor, June 27, 1 sent you my fiift
note for difeuffion upon one of the point#
of ear treaties which are not put in exe
cution in the U. States. You declined
to make any reply to it. If is necessary,
however, to agree upon the details of a
