" Peace lias actually been made, about 15 clays

“ The Convention is now framing a treaty of

It is true that Citizen Adet was appointed ** long
before Mr. Jay’s Treaty was concluded,” but it
does not follow From this that he is not ient by the
French Convention to oppofe the ratification ct Mr.
Jay’s Treaty. On the contrary—the leverfe is in oft
probable, by bis delaying to come to America till
af’er the conclujim of JVlr. Jay’s Treaty. This lliews
ifi a the -French wilhed to know the ultimatum of
the bufin el's, and to form tficir meafurts upon the’
tu ts contained in Jaj’s Treaty. After this tvac
billy known, and they could ** point their finger”
on the documents, there is no doubt buc-that the
French have confidered the fubject as it refpectrd
our conduct towards them, by neglecting to nor’ue
their proportions eighteen months back, on a C< in- 1
mercial Treaty, and have now fenr out Citizen !
Adet to “ give folemnity” to their negociation, and j
to bring the ^ueftion before the Senate with a de- i
giee of f'erionfnefs, whether we are more delirous !
to adopt the JirJl Jupreme lonv of the land unJtr the i
patronage of the Englilh, or of the French.
It is highly probable from the mode of tranfact
ingthis buhotfs, that rhe French begin to feel a jea
l°ujry» as to the friendfhip of this country, exp re f
ieh by the Admiujl ration, and now find rhemft-Ives
under rhe necessity to call upon us to {peak either
as frieijds to them or to rhe Engljh Decilion when
proper to he had, has ever been the cbaracteriftic
oi the French —1 lie period is now arrived to
know the ultimatum of the United States, and Ci
tizen Ader, ir is probable, is appointed the organ
rr» report ro the National Convention the REAL
DISPOSITION of this country, as it relates to
their Revolution.
The Senate, iris conjectured, will be cautious
how far they pledge themfelves to their conftitu
euts, on the utility of an Englilh Treaty, provided
France ihould lhew her difapprobation, or confider
herfejf neglected.
