Communication
FROM PRESIDENT ADAMS.
To the Printers of the Boston Patriot. \
Sirs,
I w.ts glad to sec in your paper of
the 7th of this month, the extract from
tho Baltimore Federal Republican, for
ons, which may be explain
ed in due time ; one or' two may be
stated now.
1. I was pleased with the candid: ac
knowledgement, that •• Mr. Adams
• never was a favorite with the It.
men ofthe federal p rrty " The words
leading men will require some expla
nation, and some limitations and rc
'ions, which may hereafter appear.
15'H in general, this is a truth which T
have known for twenty years, though
it has never been publicly avowed, to
my knowledge, till now.
2. I am happy to see what I consi
. der as an acknowledgement, that my
j unpardonable sin againt the federal
.-, or rattier: against those leading
j tnertf was the peace with France In !
1800 ; an event which has give,
country eight years of its most splen
did prosperity. The writer mci
the mission to Fiance iiv 1799, as a
measure which brought ediuni and ri
dicule on my administration. If you
will allow me a little room in your
Patriot, I may hereafter produce proofs
to the satisfaction of the public, tha':
this measure was neither odious nov
i ridiculous. At this lime I will only
1 send you a communication from Gen.
Washington, by which it will appear,
that the subject was not seen by that
great ornament of his country, in tin.
same light in which this v. titer sees i?.
Mount Ver?ion, Ist Feb. 179 9.
Dear Sir—
The letter herewith enclosed,
j from Mr. Joel Barlow, though of old
elate, came to my hands only yestcr*
I clay. I have conceived it to be my
duty-to transmit it to you without delay
and without a comment, except that
jit must have been written with a \ery
good or ;, very bad design—which of
the two, you can judge better than I.
; For, from the known abiliti.
| gentleman, such a letter could r.ot be
■ the result of ignorance, in him, nor
from the implications which arc to be
found in it, has it been written with
out the privily of the French directo
ry. It is incumbent on me lo add,
that I have not been in tbe habit oi"
corresponding with Mr. Barlow. The
now forwarded is the .'irst I ever
received from him: and to him I have
never written one. If then you should
be of opinion, that his is calculated to
bring on negociation upon open, fair
and honurabie ground, a.;d met lib a
reply, and will instruct me as to the te
nor of it, I shall with pleasure anel
alacrity obey your order., : more espe
cially if there is reason to believe that
it would become a mean, however
small, ef restoring peace and tranqui
lity to the U. Stales, upon |ust, hono
rable and dignified terms, which lam
persuaded is the ardent, desire oftt
friends of this ruing empire. With
great consideration and respect, I have
the honor to be, dt/dv sir, your most
obedient and very humble servant.
G. WASHINGTON.
J. Adams, PreJdeut of
; the U. States.
The letter from Mr. IJarlow, en
closed in Gen. Washington's, is in
these words :
Paris, 2d Oct. 1798.
Sir,
On hearing of your late nomina
r.ation as commander in chief of the
American armies, I rejoiced at it, not
because I believe the war which that
nomination contemplates is yet inevi
table, and Urit ir. udll furnish an occa
sion lor a ittrt her display of your mili
tary talents, but because it may enable;
you to exert your influence to a grea
ter effect, in preventing the war •, by
becoming more the centre of infof
matton ihau you could be in your re
tirement, you will be better able to
judge ol tlie di.positions of both cottn
, and to offer such counsels to
your government as may tend to re
move the obsfaclw that will oppose
themselves to -\ rcci i. Were
you now President of the LT. Stall
should not address you this letter, be
cause, not knowing my inclination for
the tranquil il tired life, you
I might think h.ul wasseekii
or had some farther object in view,
than the simple one of promoting pc ice
between ihe two republics. But I
' hope, under present circumstances,
that you Will c-eiicve my motive to be
nitre and unmixed, and that the object
of my letter is to call your attenti
1 the true slate of facts.
Perhaps few men, who cannot pre
tend to have been in the secrets of ci
. th: r government, are in a better .ituja
. lion than myself to judge of the mo
x tives ol both; to assign the true c lusfcs,
. and (race out the . f their
. unhappy misunderi or to ap*
. predate their 1 present dispositions,
: pretensions and wishes, iam certain
! (here is none who labors moi
|iy for the restoration of ham
upon terms honorable, to the U. S
and advantageous to the cause oi
I will not in this pla
history of past tram
' be of little use. The object is to
l * seize the ma!. present ci
• try to arrest its progress. The dis
u pine at this moment may be charac
terized, simply and literally speaking,
- a misunderstanding. I cannot persuade
s myself to give it a harsher name, as it
f applies to either government. It is
s clear that neither of them lias an inte
rest in going to war with ihe other, Sc
I am equally convinced that neither of
'« them had the inclination ; that
1 believe the balance of inclination as
1 v/cll as of interest, on both • ides, is in
> favor of peace, feut each government,
though sensible of this truth wn !
- speet to itself, is ignorant of it, . ith
V respect to the oil: h berierea
1 the other determined on war, ai
P ; cribes all its conduct lo a deep tooted
& hostility. The least they can do
