dress hath insinuated, with refpe& to Mr. Deane's
negotiations and contrasts, his difference with his
Colleagues, and the reasons for his recall, all ofwhich
he fays are to him familiar fubje&s, (by which he
tan certainly mean nothing else than his intentions
of treating them with whatever familiarity will best
Lit his defies.) I shall examine, whether he is
better supported by facts, when he pretends to dis
cus, the matters, which have occurred face his ar
rival, and Hpecihiy when he pretends that Mr.
Deane has not only been difrefpeafnl to Congress,
(whose true dignity I know he wishes to support )
But undandid when he fays, that tho' he had fre
quently fobcited a farther audience of Congress, his
tequetl had rc £ been complied with therefore in a
critical filtration of affairs, he was induced to lay
Barters before th:public, w.. ^h, otherwise, he would
have communicated to Cong^T.
To prove this he fays, ' Tpat ND. Deane's ad
-43 drtfs to the 3>bl.c. is dated in November, with
'' out the day of the month ; that on the lad day of
" that month, he addressed a letter to Congress of
" the 3O hos N vember, fi^n fying his int. Con of
" re urning to Fiance, and pressing to have his as
" fair's brought to a conclusion; that on D cember
" the fird apd partly in consequence of Mr. Deane's
" letter, to,them oft' e 30th, Congress entered into
• -"' the following resolution."
In CONGRESS, December 1 1,78.
Resolved, Tha: after to-morrow C ngrefs will
Meet, two hours at least each evening, beginning at
fix o'clock, Saturday evenings excepted, until the
present state of foreign affairs be fully considered.
" That M. Dice expressed his thanks to Con
" grefs far his notification to attend, yet on the day
*' follou ng, namely the fifth, he published his ex
" traordinary address inthenews papers," on which
in his uf.al flile he bellows a number of flowers of
rhetoric, culled in that garden in which he has been
nurtured; hear how a plain tale will fat him down.
Mr. Deane, it is true, wrote his address previous to
his application to Congress of the 30th of November,
but determined, notwithstanding forne forcible rea
sons (at which the vigilent part of the public are at
ro lots to guess,) not to publish it if be could be af
fared of an early audience from Congress. The re
solution of Congress of December the firft, quoted by
the writer of the address, and upon which he fays,
Mr. Deane w^s notified to attend, was never even in
substance, much less in form, communicated to him.
L has been said by those who pretend to be well in
formed, that on a motion made to communicate it to
Mr. Deane, it was opposed and rejected, but for the
truth of this, the author will not vouch the firft no
tice : Mr. Deane ever received in answer to his let
ter of the 30 h November, is signed by Henry Laa
tens, Efi; the late President, and dated Dumber
3. ten o'clock at night, and not received by Mr.
Deane until the fourth ; the President then informed
Mr. Deane, that " he had received directions to in
'' timate to him, that the house having concluded
" to take into consideration, as on this evening, the
*' state of their foreign affairs, fetch branches as Mr.
" Deane had been particularly concerned in, would
'' in die course become fubjeas of deliberation,
" without any avoidable and necessary delay," let
the reader determine, whether this is, even in fub
fiance, a notification of the resolution of December
firft; and an order thereupon for Mr. Deane to at
tend.---
•' Mr. Deane, it is said," expressed his thanks for
this notification ; the substance of his letter dated
December 4th, is to express his thanks to the Presi
dent, petfonally for his attention to his letter, and
to inform him at the fame time, thit in the intima
tion given him of the resolution of Congress, he did
not find any time fitted for his attendance; the writer
of this has seen these letters, and flakes his honor to
the public, that he has given their true dates and
their true substance; let the public then judge whe
ther Mr. Deane is justly chargeable with ungenteel
evasion, or a difrefpe& to that honorable body;
whom every true patriot ought to fapport whatever
they may think of individual members. What de
pendence could be placed on this loose intimation,
conveyed in the President's letter, when, after many
different days had been absolutely appointed for Mr.
Deane's attendance, and he bad been regularly no
tified to attend; he was still bailed in his earnest ex
pectation of being heard. The Journals ofCongrefs
will prove what I after!. It is not for me to enter
into the motives of these procrastinations ; refpe&
for the honor and jufiice.of Congress, make me will
ing to believe, that they Rowed from Superior ftate
eonuderatians to which an individual must Sometimes
submit, however he may be effected by the confe
quencefy.
