Mr. FOWLER'S LETTER.
TO BIS CONSTITUENTS.
^"* Washington, March 6.
Fellow-Citizens,
THE lift session of the fixffi Congress
defed on the 3d inst. and with it a career
of errors and extravagance never before
known among us, and Varely exampFed a
nv where. The death of my brother, io
Virginia, prevented my attendance here so
early as I could have wilhed ;but I have en
deavored to communicate to my constituents
some account, from time to time, of the
tranfa&ions of Congress. I think it my du
ty to address you in the usual manner, with
a recapitulation and review of what hasten
done.
^;ln the early part of the session, the pub
lic attention was -fixed oq. the Convention,
which had been concluded with France; ,
after much investigation in the senate (with
dosed doors) the Convention was totally
rejeded by that branch of our government.
This did not excite io much surprise, as in
dignation ; It was not a matter of wonder
that those who were opposed to any negoci
a? ion, or who were loud and vehement for
war, Ihould be opposed to a fuccefsful nego
ciation terminating in peace and with advan
tages to us that no other nation could have
expe&ed in similar circurnftances.
The rejeaion of the Convention, very
soon excited a temper in the public mind
; which was not flow in penetrating, the fe- .
Date-chamber. The Convention was now
Ifpeedily taken up for rifecan fide ration, and
underwent a further difcuflion, in which the
articles of the grealeft advantage and credit
to cur country, were proposed to be struck
out ; and they finally succeeded in passing it
with the rejection of the lecond article, and
the addition of another, stipulating that it
fh<uld subsist only for eight years.
The la(t provision was certainly wife and
credit ought to be given for it, were it no.t
accompanied by the rejection of the second
article, and an attempt to rejed the 14th.
The second article I Ihall here copy, in or
der that you may have before you, the text
and the comment.
Art. 11. “ The ministers es the two parties
nbt being empowered at prefect, to agree rela
tive to the treaty of alliance of the 6th of Febru
ary, 1778, to the treaty of friendship and com
merce, of the fame date, and to the convention
of the 14th of November, nor to the indemnities
mutpally due and claimed, tie parties Ihall further
negotiate upon these points at a convenient time ;
and until they shall be agreed upon these points,
the said treaties and convention shall have no ef
feft, and the relations of the two nations Shall be
regulated, &c."
Upon this article, tl, point which fir&
merits notice is ? that it provides, that afur
ther negociation should take place on the
fubjea of the captured vessels.—You must
well recollea, that all the clamors and insti
gation to war, which have prevailed for
more than two years past, were founded up
on these captures ; it was to avenge these
captures, that warwas declared to be ne*
ceffary ; and to prevent them an enormous .
navy establishment was reared up at a most
extravagant expence, and increase of the
public debt and taxes. The articlehere re
jected provided for the recovery of what
had been before taken. The convention at
large providing againit future depredation.
Yet the senate rejected the whole in the firft
instance, and finally rejected that article
which went to providexmeans for a future
recovery of losses. To fee the folly and
impolicy of this rejeaion, it is proper to re
collect, that in treaties between nations, it
is a known rule, that every thing in dispute
between two powers must be ccmprehCrded
in it, and what is omitted, is considered as
not existing.—By the rejection of litis arti
cle, the claim is virtually rejected, and we
are absolutely left wholly to the ^enerofity
and justice of the French government, for
a restoration of that very property,for the re
covery of which it was so loudly proclaim
ed; "the finger of Heaven pointed al war."
The evil designs which guided some men,
may be conceived, from the attempt to re
peal the 14th article, which I give you, arid
by which you will fee, the rights of neutrals
are recognized by the French, to their dis
advantage, and our advantage. I will not
aflert that it was complaisance to Groat-
Britain, that induced the attempt, to, strike
out this article ; but certainly,npthing conkl
be more agreeable to Great Britain. The
following is the article :—
Art. XIV. ^lt is stipulated by the present
treaty, that the free flops ffidlequally insure the
liberty of merchandize, and that all things Ihall
be deemed free, which are found' on board ships
belangityHd the citizens of one of the contratt
iu& parties, e«e» though tne fame, or part of it,"
thaHi&ag to the enemies of one of the two $
provided, nev^ribelefs, that contraband goods are
always excepted. It is hkewife agreed, that this
fame liberty shall extend to persons who may be
? on boa rd the free (hips,thongh they mould be ene
ililies of the two conirafting parties, and they mart
not be taken from the said tree ftiips, iinlefs they
are in a military capacity, and actually in the fc
vice of the enemy,"
The Convention thirt mutilated,has been
ratified by the late President, and is forward
ed to Europe, by John Dawson, Esq. of
Congress.
The bill for erecting a mausoleum, which
has caused such a variety of emotions and
difakffions, has been palfed backwards be
tween both chambers of Congress, and fi
nally loft in the Senate, by the poftponc
merit of an amendment to the next session.
Attempts were male to revive the odious
Sedition Law, which, however, ultimately °
failed. . -'' *
