the power.) veiled iu the Envoys are too li
mited to enable them to conclude a treat*
which A.1!1 yi®e the fame aJvanfageB to the

fes rather lo recline treating with the Uih
ted States, than to unction the privilege*
wh ,:h they have accorded to her enemy.
T‘,c »» difpute will appear fro-n

T,,c United Statcv and England, by the
25 th arti;!j of their trea’y, mutually Sipulatc
: ‘* c prance into their refpe&ive port*
wt h complete protection to the private,I
UiiJ ih.ps of war of the two countries and
the prizes t.-'.cn from liicir enemies. And
they engage never to conclude a treuy ex
tcr.:.nic th fame favour to anv natir,*,
with cither of the contracting artier. The

"itcd b\rt s having been tonidkd by the

thnr treaty with England. The French Rc.

hri* •ncm;c4i and rival*. a proceeding fo
unexpected on the part of the Arnctfran*
with whom (hs recen.lv made a common
e imc ag^iiiil ihofe very enemies, dire^ed to
th- Eme cbjed lor which France berfejf is
now at war —the attainment of liberty and
independence.
It is unfct.uuate that the United States
precipitately annulled the treaty of 177S.
! hey, thcmtclvee, now repent that they were
induced to take thf.*. itep, ag it deprives them
ol the power of giving to France or any o
thcr country the fame advantages which
they have conferred cm l he Eng lift. Their
diplomatic agents mutl have hieco very Ihort
fighted, or very partial to the htteretts of
England—or th< ir envoys t.'uli give a wrong
interpretation to their inrtrufltoiib, ar.d the
treaty alluded to ; fr.ce it appears that
France, renouncing the claims ftc- nay have
from thepriorioty of the treaty, of 1 77.S,*:ow
oifti-g to treat without d. rr,ceding any other
adr.ntagcs than thofe enjoyed by the En
giiih, and which thf jr have exefeifed duiing
the ptefeot war ; and the ambali’adors mult
come with a ves'y bad grace lo negociate a
peace, if they are n. t veiled with power to
accede tv thofe conditions.

of the F v.wl. sJ«.ni!uii!:u5Cv£..ct) the hypo*
lirion that the treaty ol 1773 was (tilt in
force. It wn# indeed Tao.ral to liipjmfe

They even proceeded further, inftcad of
demanding trotn the Americana the tndr&»
iiitc guarantee of the French colonies, the
arttc'ic of the treaty which tvas rnoft difad
v.ri-ag^ous to the former, they ag eed to the
