CORRESPONDENCE
Between JAMES MONROE and TIMO- THY PICKERING secretary of state, From Mr. Monroe to the secretary of state,
Philadelphia, July 6, 1797.
SIR,
It was my wish, after the receipt of your letter of the 22 d of August last, announcing my recall, to repair home, without delay. But as I did not re- ceive that letter till some time in No- vember, nor obtain my audience for taking leave of the French Govern- ment, till the first of January following it was impossible for me to sail before the spring, without hazarding a winter passage, and to which I did not wish to expose my family. This explains the cause why I did not render myself here, at a much earlier period.
I postponed my reply to that letter till my arrival, because I deemed it more suitable, for many reasons, to answer it in my own country, than from a foreign one. I think proper, however, to call your attention to the subject of that letter, with a view to ju- stify myself against any imputations that have been, or were intended to be raised against me, by the measures it announced.
I observed by that letter, that altho' you found this measure, principally, on the ground taken in that of the 13 th of June, preceding, yet you intimate there were "other concurring circum- stances," which had weight in deciding the executive in its favour. The object of this, therefore, is, to request of you, a statement of what those circumstan- ces were,—that correctly knowing, I may distinctly answer them. To the suggestions contained in yours of the 13 th of June, I shall likewise make such further reply, as appears now to be necessary.
I request this statement, as a matter of right, and upon the principle, that, although the executive possesses the power to censure and remove a public minister, yet it is a power which ought to be exercised according to the rules of justice; which rules are too well de- fined, by the principles of our govern- ment, to require illustration here. I make this request, therefore, in a confi- dence, that you will comply with it, as soon as you can, with convenience.
With due respect &c.
From Mr. Monroe to the secretary of state.
Philadelphia, July 8, 1797.
SIR,
Upon leaving Paris, I committed my letter book to the care of Mr. Pre- vost, and after his departure, to Mr. Skipwith, sealed up for general Pinck- ney, in case he arrived whilst either of those gentlemen was there; to fur- nish him with such light upon our af- fairs, as he did not derive from your department, when he left this. I had previously given general Pinckney, co- pies of some papers which he found necessary, upon his first arrival,—so that, in a possible case, I trust your wish was fulfilled in possessing him with such documents, as have been or may be necessary, for some time to come. I think proper, however, to suggest the propriety of such a complete copy being furnished from your office, as you seem to deem necessary, for our representa- tive at Paris; since, when I arrived there, no paper whatever was furnish- ed me by my predecessor, either of his own correspondence, or of Mr. Jef- ferson's, or Dr. Franklin's. I have thought it my duty to state to you, how I found and left this business; to ena- ble you to make such disposition therein according to the rules of your depart- ment, as is thought suitable.
I shall be absent from this city till Thursday next; at which time, I shall be happy to receive an answer to the letter I had the pleasure to write to you yesterday.
Your most obedient &c.
From the same to the same.
Philadelphia, July 15, 1797.
SIR,
I think proper to apprize you of my
return to this city, and to request the favour of an answer to my letter of the 6 th instant.
I am, with due respect &c.
From the secretary of state, to Mr. Monroe.
Department of state.
Philadelphia, July 17, 1797.
SIR,
I duly received your letters of the 6 th and 8 th instant, the latter stating the disposition you had made of letters and papers relating to your mission to the French Republic, for the use of your successor. Your intended absence, as mentioned in your letter of the 8 th , and the pressure of public business on the eve of the departure of our mini- ster for Europe, induced the delay of an answer, to this time.
The request contained in your letter of the 6 th , was unexpected. It is easy to conceive that the president of the U- nited States may be possessed of facts and information which would not on- ly justify, but require the recall of a for- eign minister, or the dismissal of an officer at home, altho' they should not furnish ground for a legal investigation. When the tenure of public offices (that of the judges excepted) was deliberate- ly and confidentially placed in the plea- sure of the president of the United States, it certainly was not contem- plated to test the propriety or expedi- ency of particular acts of that pleasure, or discretion, by a formal trial, or a pub- lic discussion. These remarks, I trust, exhibit satisfactory reasons why I can- not undertake to comply with your re- quest.
I am, Sir, &c.
From Mr. Monroe to the secretary of state.
Philadelphia, July 19, 1797.
SIR,
I have been favoured with yours of the 17 th instant, and answer it without delay.
If you supposed that I would sub- mit, in silence, to the injurious imputa- tions that were raised against me by the administration, you were mistaken. I set too high a value upon the blessing of an honest fame, and have too long enjoyed that blessing, in the estimation of my countrymen, to suffer myself to be robbed of it by any description of per- sons, & under any pretence whatever.
Nor can I express the astonishment which the present conduct of the ad- ministration excites in my mind, for I could not believe, till it was verified by the event, after having denounced me to my country, as a person who had committed some great act of miscon- duct, and censured me for such suppo- sed act, by deprivation from office, that when I called upon you for a statement of the charge against me, with the facts by which you support it, I should find you disposed to evade my demand, and shrink from the enquiry. Upon what principle does the administration take this ground, and what are its motives for it?
Do you suppose or contend that the power committed to the executive by the constitution, to remove and censure a public minister or any other public servant, has authorised it so to do, with- out a sufficient cause? Or that the ex- ecutive is not accountable to the pub- lic, and the party injured, for such an act, in like manner as it is accountable for any and every other act it may per- form, by virtue of the constitution? Upon what principle is a discriminati- on founded which presumes restraints, in certain cases, against the abuse of executive power, and leaves that pow- er without restraint, in all other cases? And how do you designate, or where draw the line between these two speci- es of power, so opposite in their nature and character? This doctrine is against the spirit of our constitution; which pro- vides a remedy for every injury. It is against the spirit of elective government which considers every public functiona- ry as a public servant. It becomes the meridian of these countries, only, where the monarch inherits the territory, as his patrimony, and the people who in- habit it as his slaves.
That the right to censure and remove a public officer was delegated to the execu- tive, with peculiar confidence, is a mo-
tive why it should be exercised with pe- culiar care; for he more confident the trust which is committed to a public fun- ctionary, in a responsible station, the greater circumspection he should use in the discharge of it. It was not intended thereby to dispense with the principles of justice, and the unalienable rights of freemen, in favour of executive pleasure. On the contrary, it was expected, that that pleasure would be exercised with discretion, and that those principles and rights would be invariably observed. It is an incompetent recompence to a per- son who has been injured by the execu- tive, to be told, that the constitution per- mits the injury, if the power intrusted was thereby abused, and the principles of the constitution violated. And it is an un- becoming measure in the administration to defend by the argument of power what it cannot justify at the tribunal of reason and justice.
I have been injured by the admini- stration, and have a right to redress. Im- putations of misconduct have been raised against me by it and I have a right to vindicate myself against them. I have in- vited you to state and substantiate your charges; if you have any, and I repeat a- gain the invitation. You suggest that you have facts and information which warrant the procedure. Let me know them, as likewise your informers, that I may be able to place this act of the ex- ecutive, and my own conduct, in the light in which they respectively merit to stand.
The situation of the United States has become, in many respects, a very critical one; and it is of importance that the true cause of this crisis be distinctly known. You have endeavoured to impress the public with a belief that it proceeded, in some respect, from me: Why then do you evade the enquiry? Is it because you know that the imputation was unjust, and with to avoid the demonstration of a truth you are unwilling to acknowledge? Or that you fear a discussion, which may throw light upon a topic heretofore too little understood.
I am, with due respect, &c.
From the same to the same.

From the secretary of state to Mr. Monroe.
Department of state,
Philadelphia, July 24 th , 1797.
SIR,
I have read attentively your letter of the 19 th instant, but discover in it no argument to induce a change of the opinion expressed to you in my letter of the 17 th .
I understand you to contend that ev- ery minister of the United States who is recalled, and every other public offi- cer who is removed from office by the executive of the United States, has a right to demand and be informed of the reasons and motives for the recall or removal. In all cases except that of the judges, it has been established, from the time of organizing the go- vernment, that removals from offices should depend on the pleasure of the executive power: and you know that with the above exception, the commi- ssions of all officers, civil and military, appointed by the president with the advice and consent of the senate, ex- plicitly declare that they hold their offices "during the pleasure of the "president of the United States." Hence I conclude, that a compliance
with your request might form an im- proper, inconvenient and unwise pre- cedent.
In my letter of the 17 th I remarked that "it is easy to conceive that the "president of the United States may "be possessed of facts and information "which would not only justify, but "require the recall of a foreign mi- "nister, or the dismissal of an officer "at home, although they should not "furnish ground for a legal investiga- "tion." For instance: communica- tions might be received entitled to credit, but under restrictions which would not permit disclosure: while, to admit the principle you contend for, would be to shut the door to intelli- gence of infidelity in public officers; especially in diplomatic agents, who, residing in foreign countries are remo- ved from the immediate observation of their own government.
Again, the want of confidence, from whatever cause it may arise, is a good reason for changing a diplo- matic agent. If he is found on expe- rience to be deficient in judgment, skill or diligence, or if circumstances in- spire a reasonable doubt of the sinceri- ty of his views, he cannot with pru- dence be continued, for it is essential that there should be full confidence in him. A diplomatic agent, although his official communications have a fair appearance, may hold intimate and im- proper correspondencies, on political subjects, which men known to be hostile to the government he represents, and whose actions tend to its subversion. He may even from mistaken views of the interests of his own country, coun- tenance & invite a conduct in another, derogatory from its dignity, & inju- rious to those interests.
The foregoing are cases in which the necessary confidence of a govern- ment must be abated or destroyed: and yet the circumstances might be such as could not prudently be brought to a formal discussion. More may be imagined to establish the principle, that in regard to various public offi- cers it is essential that there should be a discretion to remove, without an ob- ligation to assign reasons.—In the case of a diplomatic character, they apply with extraordinary force.
It is not true, that a removal from office necessarily implies actual miscon- duct. It may merely imply a want of ability. Or in respect to a minister, it may imply only a change in political affairs, which demands, or renders ex- pedient for the public good, the sub- stitution of a different character.
Still another instance may be men- tioned in which a demand like yours could not be complied with. A presi- dent of the United States, may on good grounds, which he reserves to himself, remove a public officer previ- ous to his retiring from office, in which case no officer in the succeeding administration could possibly assign the motives to the removal.
These reasons I conceive are suffi- cient to justify the determination taken in my letter of the 17 th instant, and render unnecessary a particular exa- mination of your observations, or an- swers to your numerous questions. There is no disposition to treat you or any other man with injustice: but the government cannot, for the sake of indulging your sensibility, sacrifice a great national principle.
I will conclude with one remark. I agree with you that the president in- using that pleasure with which the constitution has invested him, for the removal of public officers, is bound to exercise it with discretion: but I deny that he is bound on every occasion to explain and justify his conduct to the individual removed from office: which beside other objections, would expose the executive to perpetual alterations and controversies with the officers re- moved.
In answer to your note of the 19 th instant, I inform you, that the re- vision of your correspondence with the department of state, which you re- quest, may take place with the aid of a clerk, when it shall suit your own convenience.
I am, with due respect, &c.
From Mr. Pickering to Mr. Monroe.
Philadelphia, July 25, 1797.
SIR,
It has been deemed improper, for the reasons assigned in my official letters, to attempt an official explanation of the reasons and motives which influenced the late president, in terminating your func- tions as the minister plenipotentiary of

the United States to the French republic. This I shall not venture to do, in any capacity. But it is in my power, as an individual citizen, to communicate the considerations which induced me, last summer, when called upon by the president, in the line of my office, to advise that this measure should be taken. If in this form my sentiments will give you any satisfaction, and you desire to receive them, they shall be furnished.
I have conversed with Mr. McHenry and Mr. Lee on this subject, and in like form you may receive their sentiments respectively. Mr. Wolcott being absent, I can say nothing in respect of him.
I am, with due respect, &c. (To be continued.)
PHILADELPHIA, August 1. The ship Josiah Collins. Capt Blair, arrived at New-York, on Sunday morning, from Liverpool, which port the left on the 13th of June. It appears that 11 ships of the line and 9 frigates, at Sheerness and the Nore, were in a total state of insurrection; they suffered no officer to go on shore, which excited suspicions that they had executed some of them. They stop all vessels going in or out, and take their provisions; 140 sail had been thus stopped. To some of these they gave draughts on the Admiralty, afterwards they changed their mode of credit to the King! saying that the Lords of the Admiralty were a set of scoundrels! Their complaints are summed up in eight articles, which have not yet been made public—these were handed to Lord Spencer, who replied that it was not possible they should be granted; he was directed to return with them; and to say they must be granted. One of the frigates in this fleet (the Thames of 31 guns) hoisted the bloody flag and got under way. She was pursued, attacked and driven on shore. It is said that the watermen in the Thames had offered to go against the sailors! It is also said that several fleets were ordered to attack them! An embargo was laid in the Thames, until the naval convulsions should be appeased. An act has passed declaring the revolting seamen rebels to the King! making it death for every one who shall hold intercourse with them. The Dutch fleet was out seventeen ships strong. Admiral Duncan was reconnoitering them in the North Sea, with seven sail, when five of his ships of the line hoisted the bloody flag, and now compose part of the mutinous fleet at the Nore. Admiral Curtis was under orders to join the fleet in the North Sea. Admiral Bridport with 17 sail of the line, was of Ushant. He had sent in two frigates to decoy the Breist fleet out; which were chased by three ships, but when they saw the fleet, they returned into port. One troop of Scotch Fencibles, who had been ordered from Liverpool to Ireland, had refused to embark! A messenger was said to be dispatched to Paris to procure a passport for Lord St. Helens, who was to have full powers to conclude a peace.
It is reported, that the King of Prussia is dead. N. Y. Argus.

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 Ardern, 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; she had yellow hands, and the outside case just like a box without any spring.

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.
