WITHOUT your Ihowera
I breed no flowers, -
Each field a barren wifte appears.
If you don’t weep
My blossoms sleep.
They take such pleasure in your tear#.
7be following is the fubflanct of an ADDRESS
pretexted to M. Genet.by the French American
Citizens of the United States, and the defend
ants of Frenchmen, reJidentin Philadelphia.
Citizen Minister!.
EARNEST co (hew our refped and attach
ment to the nation which you reprefcnt,
and our zeal in the caufeot liberty and equali.
icy* as well as our per Con al eficem, we have ta.
ken this opportunity to congratulate you on
your fafe arrival in this city..
7 Many amongst us imprefied with an innate
Jove of liberty whilst France groaned under
the yoke of defpocKm» fought and .ound, an
asylum in this happy country, when it was the
cradle of infant equality. The favorable re
* eotion which we met with from our new
fellow-citizens, the close connedioos.and mu.
’ al habits which we imbibed here, have made
it a new mother country to us. But in be-
American citizens, we could not ce.le
to be Frenchmen, fi«« no indivtdu. s c.n be
mote o«rir conneaed than > people whole
"tattion. h»,e been lofimilar to each other ,
Sir,
SENSIBLE that nothing is wanting to the
happiness of the people of the United States
but to continue in peace under their excellent
laws and government, the Merchants and Tra
ders of the city of Philadelphia, beg leave to
express to you the high sense they entertain of
the wifdcm and goodness which diftated your
late proclamation, declaring the neutrality to be
cbferved by tbeUnitedStates in the war where
in leveral European powers are now en
gaged—A war which, however it might (erve
the tntetefts of their Commerce for the time,
they, as the friends of all men, and of all
Nations, are bound to deplore. (
JmprtfTed too within opinion, that in an un
offending conduit towards all the world, con
lifts the true policy of America, it is their de
termination not only to pay the ftrideft regard
to the proclamation themselves, but to difeoun
tenance in the most pointed manner any con
trary disposition in others ; examples of which
the^ are persuaded will seldom occur—the sen
timents just exprefled being, as they have the
latisfadion to find, the common language of
the citizens of Pcnnfvlvania.
Philadelphia, M^ 16, 1793.
To which the President made the following
Yeftrday at noon a Committee of the Commercial
and grading interejL, conMmg of about one
hundred Gentlemen > waited on the Pref, dent
of the United Spates at his house, and prejent
ed the following Addrejs—
GEORGE WASHINGTON*
PreJident of the United States.
Gentlemen,
FULLY persuaded that the happiness and
best interests of the people of the U. States
will be promoted by observing a ftrid neutral
ly in the present contest among the powers of
Europe—-It gives me pleasure to Jearn that the
measure which I have taken to declare to the
world their disposition on this head, has given
general fatisfadion to the citizens of PennfyL
The friends of humanity will deprecate war
wherever it may appear ; and we have expe
rienced enough of it* evils in this country to
know that it Ihould not be wantonly or unne
ceflarily entered upon—l trust therefore that
the good citizens of the United States will fliew
to the world that they have as much wisdom
in preserving peace at this intcrefting jundure
as they have heretofore displayed valour in de
fending their just rights.
(Signed)
G, WASHINGTON.

As your decay
Made room for May,
So I must part with all that's mine.
My balmy breeze.
My blooming trees
To tot rid funs rtieir iwcets resign
From April dead
Mv fliades are spread j
To her I owe my dress so gay ;
Os daughters three
It falls on me
To dole our triumphs on one day.
Thus to repose
All nature goes;
Month after month must find its doom—
Time cn the wing,
May—ends the Spring
And Sv * mer'triumphs o’er her tomb !
Seat of the Muses.

BE it enabled by the Senate and

shall - be brought whereby to charge
any executor or administrator up
on any special promise, to answer
damages out of his own estate-,. or
whereby to charge the defendant up
on any fpecia) promise, to answer for
the debt, default, or mifearriage of
another person, or to charge any
perfon,upon an agreement made upon
consideration of marriage,or upon any
agreement that is not to be perfor
med within the space of one year
from the time of making it ; unless
such promise or agreement, or some
memorandum or note thereof be in
writing and signed by the party to be
charded therewith, or by some other
person thereunto by him lawfully au
thorized. •
And be it further enabled^ That no
con trad for the sale of any goods,
wares and merchandize, for the price
of ten pounds or upwards, shall be
allowed to be good, except the buyer
er than French citizens who have been thua
affiliated to the Americans, and citizens of the
United States whom France adopted,each hav
ing obtained a doubled portion of what they
were entitled to.
A union thus cemented by the blood of the
two nations, and strengthened by so strong a
fimilanty of fentimenta and principles, able to
refill the most violent efforts of thole who may
have any interest in destroying it; for liberty
tends to unite men, as defpotiim doth to des
troy them.
The mission with which yon are charged,
imposes, therefore, a pleasing duty, finceit is
yours to give and receive the aflurances and
testimony of so fincerb a friendship, and so
fraternal a union. We will co-operate with
you as far as may be within our power, in
maintaining that fellowfhip and in preventing
the enemies of liberty in destroying it.
Let us be allowed here, as (individuals and
Frenchmen, to pay our brethren of the United
States, the tribute of gratitude which their
conduct deserves. « We have been (Hangers a
mongst them, they have treated us as brothers,
and they have lavished their attention upon us.
They have been ingenuous in making us forget
that we were not born in the fame country.
<J O this Address M. Genet made lie following
Reply,
Citizen Genet, Minister Plenipotentiary from
the French Republic to the French Ameri
can citizens and defeendants of Frenchmen,
resident in Philadelphia. ,
Through all the extent of the American
empire, we have seen our countrymen experi
ence the fame benefits, from the citizens who
are ever ready to assist, and government to pro
ted them
Accept citizen, our best wilhes for the suc
cess of the cause which France has determined
tofupport. We hope that by such generous
efforts they will be enabled to triumph in spite
of the hosts of despots and slaves, who would at
tempt to annihilate it.
We are happy, in having amoag us, a citi
zen, who has deserved well of hit country, and
who gives us every reason to expeft, that he
will be always acquiring further claims to our
gratitude and approbation*
Signed, on behalf of the society.
PETER St. du PONCEAU.
THE f^me principles and sentiments with
which you are infpired,does equal honor
to jour underflandings and your hearts—You
have exprefled a just idea of the views of the
French Republic. Its aim is to connect still
closer, the ties that bind a virtuous people who
have united by their generous proceedings to
wards your attachment and your gratitude.
1 will exert all my powers to fulfil the in
tentions of the Republick, and I am persuaded
that on your fide you will negled nothing ; to
prove to the citizens of the United States that
Frenchmen regard them as brethren.
1 will take care to make known to our fel
low citizens in France, the address which you
have presented to me, and I request you will
be pleased to accept of my particular thanks for
the opinion which you have so obligingly ex
prefled of my zeal and attachment to the glo
rious cause of liberty and equality.
