treaty; and to carry the fame Faithfully ihto exe
cution;
s^^ Because although it is admitted that Sir
Guy Carletondid refute to deliver up the negroes
at New-York, as is Bated in the resolution, yet
that there is not any evidence before this house,
nor even a well-grounded futpicion, that his So
vereign has, ot Will approve of his condu&, with
out which, an infraction of the treaty in that refed
ran got be said to have taken place On the part of
Great-Britaih; but on the contrary, it has been
proved before this house, that Congress has re
ceived official information from Doctor Franklin,
their Minister iri Europe, that in his Opinion a full
and ample reparation Would be made by Creat-
Britain, when applied to, for the detention of the
said negroes;
6th. Because if the British nation had committed
an unequivocal breach of the treaty, it would-be
far more wife and magnanimous in us to recall
them to a ferife of their duty, by a faithful obferv
ahce of it, than by a Bill more flagrant breach and
ill faith on our part, to juftify and warrant their
conduct; the eflablifkment of out character among
nations for inviolable faith and honor being of the
highest importance to us;
7th. Because the proposed application to Cbn
grefs is unnecessary, and is an unmerited reflection .
on that August Body, it having been in evidence
before this house, that Congress had already in
ftruried their Ministers in Europe to demand pay
ment of the British Court, for all negroes and
other property belonging to the citizens of the
United States, which wbre carried away from
New-York.
Bth. Because continuing legal impediments to
the recovery of British debts, in direct violation
of the treaty, will fubjeff the property of the citi
zens of this State to be seized by the' British Go
vernment, and is therefore a proceeding full of
temerity, violence and damages
9th. Because the obvious tendency of these mea
sures, is to exonerate thd individual debtors, by
burthening the citizens of this State at large with
the payment of British debts;
10th. Because as Congress 'has recommended
and enjoined in the most pointed terms, to all the
citizens of the United States, a ftri& and faithful
adherence to every article of the treaty, which of
course includes the payment of British debts, the
last resolution is an evident evafioh.—For these
reasons we have considered it as incumbent o'n us
to record our dissent to revolutions, which appear
to us not to be founded on justice or political wis
dom.

Marquis de la Fayette. This distinguished character,
after a series of eminent fervicds in the army of the
United States, has, we are told, been afiiduo^fly
employed for some time past, in advancing the in
terelts of these American States, in Europe, where,
fiom his influence and exertions, our country have
derived much advantage. His great desire cf feeing
this country in the peaceable possession of the fruits
ofa contest, in which he has afted so magnanimous
and considerable a part, has induced him to resifit
it at this period. The hearts of a free people can
not fail to give a cordial welcome to the Marquis,
when they refled on the repeated proof he has given
of his warm attachment to the true intefefts of
America.
The Chevalier & Caramon, fen to the Count
de Caraman, a Lieutenant General, of reputation,
