CORRESPONDENCE
BETWEEN JAMES MONROE and TIMOTHY PICKERING, Secretary of State. (Concluded.)
From Mr. Monroe to the Secretary of State. Philadelphia, July 30, 1797.
SIR, I HAVE received and attended to your official letter of the 24th, and your private one of the 25th instant, and shall now reply to both.
Permit me to premise that in any discussion which has, or may take place, between us, I have not, nor shall I consider you in any other than your official character, having yet to learn what your pretensions are to confidence as an individual citizen, for the weight which your opinion ought to have, as such, especially in the present case.
I think proper now to observe, that when I called upon you for an explanation of the motives of the administration in making this attack upon me, it was not with a view to derive any information for myself. I have been too long and too well acquainted with the political conduct, principles, and views of the administration, not to know what its motives were in that respect without any aid from you. Indeed, knowing what my own conduct was, and what your views are, of which a series of facts and circumstances leaves no doubt on my mind, I had no expectation of obtaining from you anything like a candid answer. On the contrary I expected an evasive one, dealing in hints and innuendos, thrown out to divert the mind from the true object of enquiry. Nor have I been disappointed in my expectation - for I am persuaded that no impartial person can read your several letters upon this subject, without entertaining the same opinion of them.
I expected even a disguise of the real motive, and by every possible artifice which interest or ingenuity could suggest, because I knew the real motive could not be avowed: and such I am persuaded will be the opinion of every impartial person, who after reading your letters, traces the true motive, by a correct analysis of those facts and circumstances to which I allude.
I called upon you in that spirit of candour which I have always observed towards the administration and others, and to give you an opportunity to justify your conduct by your own arguments, and thereby place it in the light you wished it to stand. But this you have refused to do, and for reasons the most extraordinary. In calling upon you then, I have acted consistently with my own principles: and in refusing to comply you have taken a ground for which the administration is responsible.
I forbear to discuss again the solidity of that principle which supposes every public officer of the United States (the judges excepted) a menial servant to the president, a principle which if established, vanishes from the bosom of every such officer all regard for country, every noble and patriotic sentiment; and makes him dependent, not upon the integrity and propriety of his own conduct, but upon the personal favor of his superior. If such were the case, what confidence could the people of America repose in any public functionary, since after he gets into office whatever may have been his character before, he sinks into a machine, and ceases to be a watchful sentinel over the public rights and interests? If such were the case the principles and practice of our free governments are departed from, and the most slavish doctrines of the most slavish governments are introduced in their stead: and that such must be the case is obvious, if the executive can exercise the discretion you speak of in the pleasurable manner you contend for, and without accounting for any of its acts, or the motives of them in any case, to the party injured, the public, or any person whatever. This doctrine merits the attention of the people of America, because it is a pernicious one. They have provided in the constitution they have adopted, a suitable mode for the appointment of public officers, and which supposes a due regard to be paid to the characters of those who are appointed, and with a view that they may be faithfully served. They pay to their public officers, President and all liberally, and ought to be faithfully served. They have
likewise provided for, and with a supervision of the superior over the inferior, but I trust it is their intention that the merits and character of the latter should be estimated by the standard of his integrity and public services, and not by the whim, caprice or any less worthy motive of those above him.
Nor shall I discuss the solidity of the principle, or the policy of the practice, you have adopted, of opening a door in your office for the reception of spies and informers, to whose communications, it appears, implicit faith is given, although their names, their characters and even the purport of their denunciations be withheld. This practice is of great antiquity, and is now in use in the despotic governments of Europe, but I hoped never to see it transplanted to this side of the Atlantic, especially in the degree to which you extend it. I dismiss these topics from view, because they are only incidental to the main object of enquiry, and involve principles, in which I am not interested, otherwise than in common with every other American citizen. I have noticed them however, that their tendency may be correctly understood.
But I think proper to make a few comments upon the hints and innuendos contained in your letter of the 24th, and with a view to place them and your conduct in making them in their true light.
You suggest many cases which, provided they existed, you say would justify the executive in the removal and censure of a public minister or other officer; such for example, as a "defect of judgment, skill, or diligence; the want of confidence in him by the administration; his holding improper correspondences with men known to be hostile to the government he represents, and whose actions tend to its subversion; his countenancing and inviting from a mistaken view of the interest of his own country, a conduct in another derogatory from and injurious to those interests, &c." The existence of any of these cases you say would justify the removal of any public minister.
It is not my intention to contest with you abstract principles, because I will readily admit that if a public officer be incompetent to the duties of his office, whether it proceed from want of judgment, skill or diligence; if he be the tool or partisan of another country against the honor and interest of his own: or be associated with foreigners of any description whatever, or with the agents or creatures of foreign powers, in promoting any plan of conspiracy against, insurrection in, or disorganization of his own country, that in any and every such case, such officer, whether he be employed at home or abroad, ought to be dismissed and disgraced, or rather severely punished; for disgrace upon those who are capable such enormities, is no punishment at all. But do you mean to apply any of these imputations to me? If so, why not avow it, and present your proof? would it not be more manly to do so, than to deal in innuendo and insinuation, which without making you responsible for any charge, are perhaps intended to be understood as such? Or do you hope that we shall take these innuendos for facts, without your declaring them to be so, or producing any testimonies to support them? This might perhaps promote your views in the present case, but would certainly not promote the cause of truth.
With respect to the clamour which is so incessantly raised (and of which you seem disposed to avail yourself in the present instance) of danger to the government from the exercise of freedom of opinion, in debate and writing, or of your insinuation that I had improper correspondence with any such persons, it is one which merits no reply. I have no correspondent in whom I repose confidence, who has not given at least as strong proof of his attachment to good government and good order, and who is not as much interested (perhaps much more so) in the preservation of those blessings as yourself, or any of those who make the loudest clamour on that subject. Nor have I had a communication with any person or persons whilst employed abroad, or at any other time, of a public nature, but with a view to preserve the government and the union intire; always seeking to counteract the disuniting disorganizing projects of those who secretly wished to subvert them. Do you know of any corres-
pondence of mine exhibiting an opposite character, or having an opposite tendency? If you do, produce it and then we will discuss this point further. But till then I shall consider this innuendo like the others, as being thrown out only to obscure the subject and divert the mind from the true object of inquiry.
And upon the point of confidence between the administration and myself, with respect to the period of its commencement and termination, on both sides, (if, indeed, it ever existed on theirs in the view in which I believe it did) with the cause which created and destroyed it, I shall say but little at present, because it is a very important one, and requires to be more fully illustrated than the nature of this communication will admit of. This point involves in it the whole policy of the administration, in my mission and recall, and will, I think, when fully understood, tend essentially to illustrate the conduct, principles & views of the administration during this great & interesting crisis of human affairs. I think proper however, to observe here that whatever may be the opinion of the world, as to the merits of the administration, in these respects, or of its conduct towards me, through the whole of my mission, I can shew, in the most satisfactory manner, that my political character & principles, whilst a member of the American senate, and whilst minister plenipotentiary of the United States with the French Republic, were always the same, and that in both stations, and through every vicissitude of our affairs, it was the constant and laborious effort of my life, to preserve peace, harmony and perfect amity between the two republics. I can shew, too, that those efforts had produced, and were still producing, a good effect, of which the administration had full knowledge, at the very moment when it endeavored to impress the public with a belief that I had failed to do my duty. The administration may, perhaps, find it hereafter expedient to explain, why I was invited to accept that mission and confided in at that time, and why that confidence was withdrawn afterwards. Were my political character and principles less known in the former stage than in the latter? I presume not, for at the time when I was invited to accept this mission to the French republic I was a member of the Senate of the United States, and had acted with such decision upon all topics which came before that body, as to leave no doubt with any one what my political principles were. Was there any particular object in view, depending any where, at the former period, and which my appointment to the French republic might then promote? and did the accomplishment of that object produce a change in the policy of the administration towards that republic, and of what nature was that object? I suggest these ideas incidentally only and without meaning to go fully into them.
So much I have thought proper to say in reply to the hints and innuendos contained in your letter of the 24th, and which I presume will fully explain my motives in making them. I will now proceed to another point, of more importance in the present enquiry.
The change in the political situation of the United States is too obvious and interesting not to attract the attention and excite the sensibility of even those who are the least observant. A few years past, the name of America was a venerable name in the catalogue of nations. It commanded the respect and drew the sympathetic attention of all powers and of all men. Her commerce and her agriculture flourished hand in hand, and her people were happy. Beloved by her ancient friends and dreaded by her ancient foes, there was no cloud in the political horizon to darken her prospects. A coalition of tyrants, it is true, whose avowed object it was to extirpate liberty from off the face of the globe, excited uneasiness for awhile - soon, however, the strong and potent arm of republicanism crushed its efforts and averted the storm. But what a reverse has now taken place, and where will the catastrophe end? Our national character has not only already greatly declined, and our commerce and agriculture greatly suffered, but we are upon the point of being involved in a war with our ancient and deserving ally, now become a republic after our example, and on the side of the remnants of that
same coalition which was lately armed against the liberties of the world. Strange and almost incredible event indeed! By what means has this change been produced? Much has been said and done by the administration, not simply to exculpate itself from all blame in that respect, but to criminate others, and when called upon to state and substantiate its charge, what has been the result? let your letters shew.
It is now time to close this subject, and to bring into view an important question, which must be decided on. Has the administration performed its duty to its country in these great concerns, & acquitted itself to the public as it ought to have done? In my judgment it has not. Might we not have avoided this crisis by other and obvious measures, more consistent with our national honour & interest, and without exposing ourselves to any real danger whatever? In my judgment we might. In this latter view the subject acquires new importance and is entitled to more particular attention.
You will readily perceive that our fellow citizens in general are deeply interested in the several points of discussion between us, to whom it likewise belongs to estimate yours and my conduct: and I now think proper to inform you, that it is my intention to carry the subject before that enlightened and impartial tribunal, with all the lights which I possess.
I am, sir, with due respect, &c. From Mr. Monroe to the Secretary of State. July 31, 1797.
Mr. Monroe requests Col. Pickering to inform his colleagues that the evident impropriety of his having any communication otherwise than with the administration itself upon an act for which he holds the administration responsible, precludes his receiving from them, as individual citizens, any information whatever respecting the motives which governed them in the case referred to. He declines this, with the greater pleasure, because the course he finds it necessary to adopt for the examination and development of this subject generally, offers to those gentlemen, as individual citizens an opportunity to communicate the motives of their conduct in that case to the community at large, thro' which channel only can he attend to them.
MUTINY IN THE BRITISH FLEET. SHEERNESSE, June 4.
This place continues in the same awful uncertainty it has been in for some days past. I have not learnt that any correspondence between the fleet and garrison has taken place this day. Every preparation for defence has been made, and the town is at present filled with troops. The road to Sheerness is patrolled by parties of horse, and every carriage searched. About an hour ago a flag of truce arrived at the pier with the captain of the Montague. Whether he was forced or requested to leave the fleet, I know not. The navigation of the Thames is wholly obstructed; and within this hour I have heard at least 100 rounds of shot, for the purpose of bringing vessels to.
The sailors declare their determination not to be starved out, and they have accordingly landed and carried off some sheep from the Isle of Grain, in consequence of which a force has been sent there. The red flag is hoisted in the whole fleet of nearly thirty ships. Heaven alone knows what will be the result of this business; but it is evident that for things to remain in this doubtful state many days longer, is impossible.
Last night they seized on a hoy laden with three hundred sacks of flour, & another laden with wheat for London, both of which cargoes they divided among the ships, and liberated the captains and crews with the vessels. The captains are now with the port-admiral, giving evidence as to the facts.
TAKEN out of the possession of George, a negro man belonging to widow Macpherson, (late the property of Richard Masterman,) a coat made of mixed broad-cloth, the coat has been but little worn, and supposed to be stolen, as George is a notorious villain: the owner may get it by applying to the subscriber in Woodford county, proving his property and paying charges,
RICHARD CAVE. August 24 1797.

LEXINGTON:
Saturday, August 26.
Our latest accounts from London are to June 13th.—By them we learn that the mutiny on board the fleets at Bascerness and the Nore are far from being quelled—that the delegates sent on shore to the Admiral a declaration, stating their intention of blocking up the river Thames, they gave as their reason for this, that as the Dutch fleet was on the point of sailing, they were determined to have their grievances settled, and would bring things to an extremity at once,—after which the Standard, Inspector, Brilliant & Swan got under way, and moored at equal distances a cross the mouth of the Thames, soon after, several vessels standing down the river, were obliged to come to, and anchor, near the ships of the mutineers.
Extract of a letter to the editor, dated Hamilton district, State of Tennessee, August 13. 1797.
We are in a confused state.—The commissioners are ascertaining the boundary line between this State and the Indians—there is not less than 5000 fowls that will fall into the Indian lands, and must move off shortly. I have my doubts that there will be difficulty, as the people are very obstinate. The 4th Regiment is at Knoxville, and in case those people refuse to move off, they will march in the course of a few weeks against them!

In the latter end of the year 1795, a certain William Owens, of Scott county, took up a dark roan mare, about five years old; and a strawberry roan stud colt, neither of which was branded, or any other visible mark.

In the latter part of the year '96, said Owens traded the colt to John M'Carthy, previous to which he branded it thus J. As I have good reason to believe that said Owens has not acted agreeably to law, and as I have taken up said colt, I take this method of giving the above information to enable the owner to obtain his property.

STOLEN OUT OF MY SHOP THREE WATCHES, & TWO GOLD RINGS.
ONE of which is a small French gold Watch, which I missed about the 20th of last September. I am informed the maker's name (which was on the face, and perhaps on the inside also) was L'Eppins, a Paris—there was a piece broke out of the face by winding with two large a key; if any carving on the case, it was only a little round the rim and joint; when stolen it looked dull by lying some time out of use, wanted cleaning and a glass, had a small yellow chain with flat links and a small flat gilt key. The silver watches were both milled since the middle of this month: one of which was of the new kind of flat watches with gold hands, made by James Miller, London, No. 2396, if I remember right. The other is what is called a Holland watch, but I think it was made by John Ardeen, Liverpool No. 1013; as well as I recollect, the cock over the ballance-wheel was silver, in which was a garnet stone for the wheel to run on; the bad yellow hands, and the outside case that like a box without any spring. One of the Rings was of a common kind, with middle sized square white stone. The other was an old mourning Ring, which weighed about half a guinea, lettered with "Frances Nelson, obit (date forgot) Aetas 84," but scarcely legible.
Whoever apprehends and delivers to me the thief or thieves, and the articles above mentioned, shall be entitled to the above reward, or twenty dollars for each watch and one dollar for each ring. SAMUEL AYRES. Lexington, July 28.
