HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Thursday, April 19.
The House being in a committee of the whole on the bill to provide an additional armament...
[Concluded from our last.] Mr. GALLATIN believed it would now be in order to renew the question...
But before he took this ground, he would make some observations on the real advantages...
As to the right of convoy in Neutral Nations, it was a right at least of a doubtful nature.
The question with him, Mr. G. said, was not so much the right, as the policy of the measure.
Mr. G. said he knew the question of war did not depend altogether upon this country.
He had said that from the beginning of the present European war, the belligerent powers...
He read the article from the treaty entered into with Russia, dated the 25th of March, 1793.

France had also behaved in a still more extraordinary manner. It was immaterial, in the present consideration, to enquire whether Great-Britain or France was the first to break the laws of nations; the fact is, that all the different belligerent powers have at times infringed them; and even the last arrivals from Europe bring accounts (which though not official, carry every appearance of being true) of instructions given to the commanders of British vessels of war, which are direct violations of the laws of nations and of treaties.
It is true, that at present the infringements of the laws of nations made by France are vastly more oppressive, and in their consequences far more extensive and injurious to our trade than those of any other nation; but it is not less true, that until we do deem these infringements sufficient cause of war, we ought not to enter into any measures which will in their effects amount to the same thing as a actual war. To grant convoys is such a measure; and before that is done, it ought to be considered whether in a state of war, we should be in a better situation than at present.
Mr. G. was aware he should at once meet with an exclamation, What! Will you not protect our commerce? Are you not bound to protect it? So far as this complaint was considered in a local point of view, he thought it ungrounded. He had heard it said, and repeated, that those states which are more commercial than others, would not quietly sit down under the neglect, if protection was not given to commerce. So far as relates to the eastern states, he believed they had no greater reason to complain than some other states on this ground. Whilst on this floor, Mr. G. said, he considered himself as a representative of the whole union, and bound to attend to the protection and to the interests of every part of the United States; but if the matter was to be considered on local ground, the middle states had as great right to complain as the eastern, and therefore no reason of locality could induce him to give the vote which he proposed to give, since the state of Pennsylvania and New-York have as much interest in commerce as the eastern states. The total amount of the tonnage of the four eastern states employed in foreign trade is 228,000 tons, and that of the states of Pennsylvania and New-York 195,000. The representation of the eastern states on this floor, compared with the states of New-York and Pennsylvania (which was the best criterion of their respective population) is as 27 to 23, and the proportion of foreign tonnage betwixt them is as 27 to 23. There was therefore no sensible difference between them.
The question was, which was the best way of protecting our trade, in our present situation. Government was bound to protect all its citizens, in whatever occupation they chose to follow; but its power of protection is restrained to a certain extent. In this instance, instead of convoys protecting our trade, they will be the destruction of it; for, if by any act of ours, war is produced, our trade would be in a worse situation than at present, bad as it is.
But he would examine to what extent our present injuries go, and how convoys would apply. Convoys were to apply more specifically in two cases, viz: where a seizure was attempted for want of a role d'équipage , or where, according to the late French decree, our vessels have British manufactures or produce on board. He had never examined to see how far the demand with respect to the role d'équipage was an infringement of our treaty with France. He had taken it for granted that if it were justified by our treaty, it was now made a mere pretext for seizure, because our treaty had been in force since the commencement of the war, and this ground had never been taken till lately. But upon this subject, he would observe, that almost all the mischief which could be done had been done, for want of these papers as our vessels could now always furnish themselves with them. He did not think it necessary, therefore, to grant convoys for this purpose.
So far as relates to British manufactures being good prize, he agreed with the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Nicholas) that we ought to take into consideration the extent of our trade to that country, not only our export trade, but our returns from thence. The effect of the French decree will be either to raise the price of insurance much higher upon our own vessels, or the carrying trade will be carried on in British vessels. But great as these evils would be, he believed it would be better to bear with them than to go to war. The only evil in one instance will be, that the consumer will have to pay the additional rate of insurance, and he would much rather do this than change our present situation. For in case of war, not only all British manufactures will be equally liable to captures; but all our trade will be in the same situation. And with any gentleman say, that there will be less captures on our trade in a state of war, than in our present state? Is it to be supposed that these twelve vessels, with the three frigates, and all the vessels we can build and man, will protect our trade, so as to reduce our captures below their present number? He believed not. He believed that in a state of war, more captures would be made, as not only the vessels which are now captured under different pretences, would still be captured, but that part of our trade which now escapes capture, will then be seized.
The amount of our exports, Mr. G. said, was 51 millions. Out of those 51 millions, 25 are sent to Great-Britain. Though this is the amount, according to the statement from the proper department, the gentleman from S. Carolina (Mr. Harper) has said, that considerable quantities of goods sent to the British West-Indies, have been entered at the custom-house as for the French West-Indies, in order to avoid capture; but it had also been stated by a gentleman who must be supposed to be better acquainted with commercial subjects than him (Mr. S. Smith) that full as many goods were entered for the French West-Indies, intended for the English, as in the other case. It was, at all events, only an assertion, which ought not to lessen the credit of an official statement.
On the other hand, it appears by this estimate, that to the amount of 25 millions of dollars is exported to France, Spain and Holland. This, in case of war, will doubtless be cut off. And if we are not at liberty to export that portion of our produce whither, what must be done with it? The only country to which we shall have a free trade will be Great-Britain. The effect of this will be, to sink the price of our produce; because the whole is not wanted and cannot be consumed in Great-Britain, and she is shut out from those ports to which we now send it. Independent, therefore, of additional captures, that immense American tonnage, which it is intended to protect, would at once be reduced to one third of what it now is, for want of a market for our produce.
Nay, in addition to these 25 millions, our trade to the Hanse Towns will also be destroyed, as it is well known what was the situation of Hamburg, so that, in case of war, the whole of our trade will be cut off, except 25 millions to Great-Britain and her dominions, and a few millions to Sweden and Denmark. He could not, therefore, see, how the granting of a convoy could protect our commerce, when the effect must be, war, which will destroy it.
The gentleman from S. Carolina (Mr. Harper) yesterday told the committee, that the effect of not granting convoys would be, to give the whole of our carrying trade to Great-Britain. He wished to know, if this was to be the effect of not granting convoys, what would be the effect of war? The moment we go to war, we give to Great-Britain the whole of our trade. But the gentleman went on to tell the committee, what France would say to this country next, if we did not resist her. He said he would tell us, You shall no longer go to Hamburg, or to any other place at which you get money for your produce, because you will pay that money to G. Britain for her manufactures. If this would be the case, in case we declined granting convoys, he wished to know what would be the effect of war? Was it expected that France would give more latitude to our trade in case of actual war than at present?
When gentlemen spoke of the immense increase of our tonnage from 450,000 to 800,000 tons, did they consider to what this increase was owing? It has been owing to our neutrality, it has taken place during the present European war, whilst the tonnage of Great-Britain employed in the trade of this country, has by the effect of that war, decreased from 206,000 tons, which it was in 1792, to 19,600, which it was by the last returns at the end of 1796. Seeing, therefore, that notwithstanding all the captures made of our vessels, our tonnage has increased from year to year; in order to save that valuable tonnage, and to afford every possible protection to it, if that was the only object of the house, they must with the present state of things to submit in preference to a state of war, and must therefore refrain from taking steps which cannot fail to produce war.
It was not only his opinion that the granting of convoys would lead to war. The point has been conceded. For what did the gentleman from S. Carolina (Mr. Harper) state convoys were wanted? He said they were wanted against the depredatory decrees of the French—the role d'équipage and the decree making vessels with British manufactures on board, legal prize. He said it was to resist these decrees. He went farther, he said, they ought to be resisted at the mouth of the cannon. If capture was to be resisted at the mouth of the cannon, without war, he could not understand it. If he understood the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Otis) he went still farther, and said that he would resist a search. And certainly the moment a principle of this sort was assumed, it was nothing more or less than war. Unless indeed some unintelligible metaphysical distinction should be attempted betwixt fighting and war . If, then, it is better, as a matter of calculation, to be in the present state of things than at war, were there any other considerations, which ought to set aside this matter of calculation? The committee were told by the gentleman from S. Carolina, that if we did not resist, France would go on step by step, in her course of aggression against this country. This is a mere matter of speculation. It is possible France may go on in this way. If she goes on to make war upon us, then let our vessels be used in their full power. Let us not, however, said he, act on speculative grounds; but examine our present situation, and if better than war, let us keep it.
The committee have been told, that this doctrine, is a doctrine of submission. The gentleman called war by the name of resistance, and they gave the appellation of subject submission to a continuance of forbearance under our present losses and captures. He affixed a different idea to the word submission. He would call it submission to purchase peace with money—he would call it submission to accept or ignominious terms of peace—he would call it submission to make any acknowledgments unworthy of an independent country. He would call it submission to give up by treaty any right which we possess. He would call it submission to recognize by treaty any claim contrary to the laws of nations. But there is a great difference betwixt surrendering by treaty our rights and independence as a nation, and saying, "We have met with captures and losses from the present European war; but as it is coming to a close, it is not our interest to enter into it, but rather to go on as we have done." This, he thought, would be a wise course, and extremely different from a state of submission.
The committee had been told of a spirit of money as improper, and that it ought to be set aside. To speak of expence is no proof of that magnanimity, national honour, and national spirit, which have enabled other nations to repel their enemies. He did not think the instances quoted by the gentleman from S. Carolina were happy. He had quoted France, and said that it was because she had set aside every other consideration but the necessity of supporting the war; because she had disregarded every thing like property and deluged her own country with blood, that she had been successful.
Mr. G. had no objection that France might be adduced as an example to lead us to repel any enemy which may attempt to invade us; but in her disregard for property, in her confiscations, and requisitions in those measures which have had conquest and plunder, and not resistance, for their object; and above all in the deluge of blood that had been shed for the sake of ambition, or caprice, or faction, he trusted never would be set up as a proper model for this country.
The instances of Rome and Athens, which the gentleman adduced, were not more happy. He did not think the spirit of conquest, which animated the first, the spirit of plunder towards every other independent state of Greece which animated the last, the lust for power which characterized both, to be that spirit which would be best calculated to promote the happiness of America.
Mr. G. concluded by saying, that he meant to have gone further into a consideration of what was called a spirit of submission, and to have drawn some comparisons between our present state, and what it had been in some stages of the European war; but finding the usual hour of adjournment past, he would forbear to do it at present. He then recapitulated his arguments, and sat down.
Mr. Dayton (the speaker) expressed an earnest wish that the committee of the whole should rise, and have leave to sit again, not so much for the sake of further discussing the merits of the amendment as of affording to members an opportunity of exposing the dangerous and fatal tendency of the arguments adduced in the support of it. Feeling as he did upon the occasion, it would be almost criminal in him to forbear to declare, that he had heard with astonishment, and he had almost said, with indignation, the speech to which they had been listening, from the member from Pennsylvania (Mr. Gallatin). He had never expected to have heard such tame and submissive language, within the walls of Congress and from a representative of the American people, at a time too when they were smarting under injuries and insults. If that member had
ever made himself acquainted with the principles that animated the Americans in 1775, with which his doctrines were in dire hostility, yet he surely could not have so soon forgotten the tenor and spirit of the dispatches from our commissioners in Paris. That this speech had been prepared before the receipt of those dispatches was by no means improbable, but that it should be uttered so openly and boldly, after those important communications had been published to the world, was indeed surprising. If it were a motion in order in that body, Mr. Dayton declared that he should immediately move that it be printed, and that copies should not only be given to every member, but as far as possible to all the citizens of the United States, that they might all, as with one voice disclaim the principles which it tended to inculcate.
Mr. Nicholas hoped the committee would rise, that the gentleman from New-Jersey might have an opportunity given to him to state, in what this speech was so extraordinary, which would be much more conformable to legislative proceedings, than making denunciations in general terms.
Mr. S. Smith hoped the committee would not rise, but that the question would be now taken.
Mr. Allen wished the committee would not rise. Let us sit here till midnight, till sunrise if necessary; let us determine this question before we leave our seats. Gentlemen desire to protract this debate and to occupy another three weeks on a question which ought to be decided the first day.
The best method of expressing our indignation, and our abhorrence of the sentiments we have just heard from the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Gallatin) and of their author is to sit still and decide the question. Sir, when I see the spirit which outrageously attacked the late President for his proclamation of neutrality; when I see the spirit which justified and applauded the appeal of a certain foreign minister from the constituted authorities of the country to the people; when I see the spirit which professing devotion to the people, and hypocritically preaching up the rights of man, excited an insurrection—[A confused cry of "ORDER!" and "Go on," and Mr. Allen sat down.]
Mr. Brooks said, though he had as great an aversion to the submissive course recommended by the gentleman from Pennsylvania as any member of the committee, as he believed it repugnant to the feelings of the American people, yet he thought his speech ought not to go unanswered. This speech would have been thought an extraordinary one in the year 1775, and if the sentiments contained in it had been adopted, our revolution would never have been accomplished. He hoped, therefore, that the committee would rise, that arguments which would lead to a surrender of the peace and independence of this country to a foreign nation, might be refuted.
Mr. Macon hoped the committee would rise, for the reasons assigned by the gentleman last up, because if the speech of the gentleman from Pennsylvania was such as he stated it to be, he wished to hear it exposed. It had struck him very differently.
Mr. Stites hoped the committee would not rise. He believed no profession was necessary on his part; it would be readily credited that he felt as much opposition to the opinions of his colleague as any gentleman could do; but he did not think his speech of such importance that the committee should sit another day to answer it. He believed the answer to it, was to be found in the late dispatches of our Envoys, and in the convictions of every American. He believed the time was come, when instead of speaking, Congress ought to act. This speech had already been answered; since every thing which had now been repeated, had been heard before, and all that could be said upon the subject could not add to the conviction of any one. He believed the answer to it was not understood by every man both in and out of doors, and no good effect could be produced by delay. The best answer to this speech, he believed, would be, an immediate decision against the doctrine which it contained.
Mr. Brant felt solicitous for the committee to rise, because he felt a great desire to know what it was in the speech of the gentleman from Pennsylvania, which had apparently created so high a degree of indignation in certain gentlemen of the committee. For his part, he owned the gentleman from Pennsylvania had engaged his most serious attention; and if that gentleman was culpable, he was equally so, for he had approved every sentiment which he delivered. He thought it one of the most temperate discussions he had ever heard, being free from personalities, and, as it struck him, of any expression which could excite irritation in any one. If when a gentleman rises on the floor of this house, on a great and important question—on a question which perhaps depends the peace and independence of the country—he is to be treated in this manner, there is an end to all freedom of debate. He must own, he had never, on any occasion, seen so much indecency of conduct as had been shown towards the gentleman from Pennsylvania, for having delivered sentiments, which, in his opinion, did honour both to the head and heart of that gentleman.
Mr. Dana wished the committee to rise—When he reflected that the gentleman from New-Jersey was a native American, and had been an American soldier through the late revolution, he could not be surprised at the indignation which he felt on this occasion; but he wished the committee to rise, in order to show that the gentleman had perverted the sense of the laws of nations. As to his arguments to prove that it would be more our interest to submit to, than to resist the terms offered to us by France, he believed the answer which our envoys returned to the agents of the French government, would also be a complete answer to them.
Mr. Gallatin said he did not mean to make any kind of observations upon what had fallen from the member from Connecticut (Mr. Allen) or the Speaker; he meant only to notice what had been said by the gentleman last up from Connecticut, who had perverted his sentiments. That gentleman had said, that his observations would find an answer in the reply of our envoys to the agents of Talleyrand, thereby signifying, that he Mr. G. had expressed himself in favour of an acceptance of such terms as had been offered to our envoys. That gentleman could not surely have attended to what he had said; because he had expressly stated, that he should consider it as submission to pay to that nation any money, or to recognize any claim contrary to the law of nations; but he had said, he would rather submit to our present captures, under the hope that they might not have a long continuance, than take a measure which was war.
He would just add, that the Speaker was mistaken when he stated, that the speech which he had delivered was prepared before the late dispatches were communicated. It was prepared at the time of its being delivered, and in answer to the speech of the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Harper) delivered yesterday. Before the dispatches were communicated, he had hopes of peace; after he had heard them read, those hopes were not extinguished; but from the publication of them his hopes were very feeble—feeble as they were, however, he did not wish to blast them by any act of this house. As
to the sentiments which he had delivered, he was not ashamed of them, and he should support them at any time, in opposition to what that gentleman, or any other, may oppose to them.
From the New-York Commercial Advertiser.
THE STAND—No. VII.
The dispatches from our envoys have at length made their appearance. They present a picture of the French government exceeding in turpitude whatever was anticipated from the previous intimations of their contents. It was natural to expect, that the perusal of them would have inspired a universal sentiment of indignation and disgust; and that no man, calling himself an American, would have had the hardihood to defend, or even to palliate a conduct so atrocious. But it is already apparent, that an expectation of this kind would not have been well founded.
There are strong symptoms that men, in power in France understand better than ourselves the true character of their faction in this country, at least of its leaders; and that as to these, the agents who conferred with our envoys, were not mistaken in predicting that the unreasonableness of the demands upon us would not serve to detach the party from France, or to re-unite them to their own country. The high-priest of this sect, with a tender regard for the honor of the immaculate directory, has already imagined several ingenious distinctions to rescue them from the odium and corruption unfolded by the dispatches. Among these is the suggestion that there is no proof of the privivity of the directory—all may have been the mere contrivance of the minister for foreign relations.
The presumption from so miserable a subterfuge is, that had the propositions proceeded immediately from the directory, the cry from the same quarter would have been—there is no evidence that the councils or nation approved of them; they at least are not implicated; the friendship of the two republics ought not to be disturbed on account of the villainy of the transitory and fugitive organs of one of them. The inventor of the subterfuge however, well knew that the Executive organ of a nation never comes forward in person to negotiate with foreign ministers; and that unless it be presumed to direct and adopt what is done by its agents, it may always be sheltered from responsibility or blame. The recourse to so pitiful an evasion, betrays in its author a systematic design to excise France at all events—to soften a spirit of submission to every violence she may commit—and to prepare the way for implicit subjection to her will. To be the pro-consul of a despotic directory over the United States, degraded to the condition of a province, can alone be the criminal, the ignoble aim of so sedulous, so prostitute a character.
The subaltern mercenaries go still farther. Publications have appeared, endeavouring to justify or extenuate the demands upon our envoys, and to inculcate the slavish doctrine of compliance. The United States, it is said, are the aggressors, and ought to make atonement; France affixed them in their revolution with loans, and they ought to restore the benefit; peace is a boon worth the price required for it, and it ought to be paid. In this motley form, our country is urged to sink voluntarily, and without a struggle, to a state of tributary vassalage. Americans are found audacious and mean enough to join in the chorus of a foreign nation, which calls upon us to barter our independence for a respite from the lash.
The charge of aggression upon the United States is false; and if true, the reparation, from the nature of the case, ought not to be pecuniary. This species of indemnification between nations, is only proper where there has been pecuniary injury.
The loans received by us from France were asked as a favor, on condition of reimbursement by the United States; and were freely granted for a purpose of mutual advantage. The advances to be made by us were exacted as the price of peace. Though in name loans, they would be in fact contributions, by the coercion of a power which has already wrested from our citizens an immense property, for which it owes them compensation.
To pay such a price for peace, is to prefer peace to independence. The nation which becomes tributary takes a mauler. Peace is doubtless precious, but it is a bauble compared with national independence, which includes national liberty. The evils of war to resist such a precedent, are insignificant, compared with the evil of the precedent. Besides that there could be no possible security for the enjoyment of the object for which the disgraceful sacrifice was made.
To disguise the poison, misrepresentation is combined with sophistry. It is alleged, that finally no more was asked than that the United States should purchase sixteen millions of Dutch inscriptions, and that by doing this, they would have secured compensation to their citizens for depredations on their trade to four times the amount, with an intermission of the depredations; that no hazard of ultimate loss could have attended the operation, because the United States owed the Dutch a much larger sum which would be a pledge for payment or discount.
This is a palpable attempt to deceive. The first propositions were such as have been represented in a former paper, but it appears in the sequel, that the French agents seeing the inflexible opposition of our envoys to their plan, and hoping to extort finally a considerable sum, though
* The argument of what has been done in the case of ALGERINES and INDIANS, has nothing pertinent but in the comparison of relative ferocity. In this view, the claim of the Directory is infathomable—but in every other it is preposterous. It is the general practice of civilized nations to pay barbarous—there is no point of honor to the contrary. But between civilized nations, the payment of tribute by one to another, is by the common opinion of mankind, a badge of servitude.
less than at first contemplated, relaxed so far in their demands as to narrow them down to the payment of a douceur of twelve hundred thousand livres with a positive engagement to advance to the French government a sum equal to the amount of the spoliations of our trade, and a further engagement to send to our government for power to purchase of France thirty two millions of the inscriptions (12,800,000 dollars) in return for all which, our envoys were to be permitted to remain six months in Paris, depredations on our trade, during that time, were to be suspended, and a commission of five persons was to be appointed to liquidate the claims for past depredations which were to be satisfied "in a time and manner to be agreed upon." The substance of these demands is to pay immediately twelve hundred thousand livres and to bind ourselves to pay absolutely twenty millions of dollars more (the estimated amount of the spoliations) for what?—barely for the acknowledgment of a debt to our citizens, which without it, is not the less due, and for a suspension of hostilities for six months.
Afterwards, in a conversation between the French minister himself and one of our envoys, the propositions assumed another form. The United States were required to purchase of France at par sixteen millions of inscriptions, and to promise further aid when in their power . This arrangement being first made and not before, France was to take measures for reimbursing the equitable demands of our citizens on account of captures.
The purchase of the inscriptions was to be a preliminary. The arrangement for reimbursing our merchants was to follow. The nature of it was not explained; but it is to be inferred from all that preceded, that the expedient of the advance of an equal sum by the United States would have been pressed as the basis of the promised arrangement. This last proposal was in its principle as bad as either of the former; in its tendency worse. The promise of future assistance would have carried with it the privilege to repeat at pleasure the demand of money, and to dispute with us about our ability to supply; and it would have embarked us as an associate with France in the war. It was to promise her the most effectual aid in our power, and that of which she stood most in need.
The scheme of concealment was a trick. The interest of France to engage us in the war against Great-Britain, as a means of wounding her commerce, is too strong to have permitted the secret to be kept by her. By the ratification of the treaty, in which the senate must have concurred, too many would have obtained possession of the secret to allow it to remain one. While it did, the apprehension of discovery would have enabled France to use it as an engine of unlimited extortion. But a still greater objection is, that it would have been infamous in the United States, thus covertly to relinquish their neutrality, and with equal cowardice and hypocrisy to wear the mask of it, when they had renounced the reality.
The idea of securing our advances, by means of the debt which we owe to the Dutch is without foundation. The creditors of the United States are the private citizens of the Batavian republic. Their demands could not be opposed by a claim of our government upon their government. The only shape in which it could be attempted must be in that of reprisals for the delinquency of the government. But this would not only be a gross violation of the principle—it would be contrary to express stipulations in the contract for the loan.
In the same spirit of deception, it has also been alleged that our envoys by giving the douceur of twelve hundred thousand livres and agreeing to send for powers to make a loan, might have obtained a suspension of depredations for six months. There is not a syllable in the dispatches to countenance this assertion. A large advance in addition, either on the basis of the spoliations, or by way of purchase of the inscriptions, is uniformly made the condition of suspending hostilities.
Glosses so false and insidious as these, in a crisis of such imminent public danger, to mislead the opinion of our nation concerning the conduct and views of a foreign enemy, are shouts from a very pernicious trunk. Opportunity alone is wanting to unveil the treason which lurks at the core.
What signifies the quantum of the contribution, had it been really as unimportant as is represented? 'Tis the principle which is to be resisted at every hazard. 'Tis the pretension to make us tributary, in opposition to which every American ought to resign the last drop of his blood.
The pratings of the Gallic faction at this time reminds us of those of the British faction at the commencement of our revolution. The insignificance of a duty of three pence per pound on tea was echoed and re-echoed as the bait to an admission of the right to bind us in all cases whatsoever.
The tools of France incessantly clamor against the treaty with Britain as the just cause of the resentment of France. It is curious to remark, that in the conferences with our envoys this treaty was never once mentioned by the French agents. Particular passages in the speech of the President are alone specified as a ground of dissatisfaction. This is at once a specimen of the fruitful versatility, with which causes of complaint are contrived, and of the very slight foundations on which they are adopted.—A temperate expression of sensibility at an outrageous indignity, offered to our government by a member of the Directory, is converted into a mortal offence. The ty-
* It is observable that the French give themselves the denomination of most enlightened to their depredations upon us. Our Jacobins would have us consider them as gentle carriers . † They all provide against seizure or requisition by way of reprisals, &c.

rans will not endure a murmur at the blows they inflict.
But the dispatches of our envoys, while they do not sanction the charge preferred by the Gallic faction against the treaty, confirm a very serious charge which the friends of the government bring against that faction. They prove, by the unreserved confession of their agents, that France placed absolute dependence on this party in every event, and counts upon their devotion to her as an encouragement to the hard conditions which they attempt to impose. The people of this country must be infatuated indeed, if after this plain confession they are at a loss for the true source of the evils they suffered or may hereafter suffer from the despotism of France. 'Tis the unnatural league of a portion of our citizens with the oppressors of their country.

NEW-YORK April 27.
It appears by a letter from Capt. Smith, of the ship Bristol, dated Morlaix, Feb. 6, that his ship was captured on the 8th January, by the Heureuse Speculator, commanded by Alexander Black, a native American. The Bristol was owned by Thomas Smith, Esq. of this city, who has a letter from Thor. Buckley, at Lisbon, which says, "As the ship was only in ballast, I have some hopes the Captain may be able to recover the property."
The ship Bellona Dale, from England, arrived at Alexandria, brings no later news than the 18th Feb. Capt. D. says, most of the American ships in England were arming.
A new paper called "The Gazette," is just published at Portland (M.)—the publisher, E. A. Jenks, says, "Its pages shall ever be shut to the enemies of order and government, and to the defamers of our laws country." May such truly federal publications become still more numerous—They must now be well supported.

PHILADELPHIA,
SATURDAY EVENING, April 28.
Copy of a letter from Major Constant Freeman, to the Secretary of War, dated New-Orleans, 6th April, 1798.
Sir, After I had closed my letter to you, which I had continued from the second to the fifth instant, I received one from capt. Guion, of which I enclose you a copy, and an extract of a letter from Mr. Daniel Clarke, to his nephew.
Last evening arrived here a boat from the Illinois. I have received the following information from a Mr. Kenner, who came passenger. That he separated from the detachment under the command of Major Kersey, on Sunday the first instant, at one o'clock, P. M. he supposes between five and six leagues above the Walnut Hills; that as the Illinois boat had a sail, and the wind was fair, they left Major Kersey, and halted at the Walnut Hills early in the evening; that the works had not been destroyed, but appeared to be in good order; that Major Kersey must have arrived at his station early on Monday morning. The detachment left the Chickasaw Bluffs on the 19th of last month, and had been detained by contrary winds and bad weather. Mr. Kenner observed that the Major's boats were old and that he was therefore obliged to proceed with the greatest caution.
The Spanish troops from Natchez had arrived at Baton Rouge. Mr. Kenner saw them there on the fourth instant.
I have the honor to be, &c. CONSTANT FREEMAN, JUN. The Secretary of War.
Extract of a letter from Captain Isaac Guion to Major Constant Freeman dated Natchez, March 27th, 1798.
"Should this find you in New-Orleans, it will be handed to you by a Mr. Stewart Wilkinson from Kentucky, brother to our Quarter Master General; he left the Chickasaw Bluff on the 15th instant, where capt. Peirce had been thirteen days, and Major Kersey had not yet moved, and I have reason to believe that he is not yet arrived at the Walnut Hills, which place was evacuated on the night of the 23d—and Friday next, the 30th, is the day fixed for the same operation to take place here."
Extract of a letter from Mr. Daniel Clarke, of Clarkeville, to Daniel Clarke, Jun. of New-Orleans, dated March 31, 1798.
"The American flag was hoisted at the Fort of Natchez the 30th instant, and Mr. Ellicott will be here on the 2d of next month."
Yesterday, the House of Representatives of the United States passed the bill making appropriations for the support of the military establishment for the year 1798. They also went again into the consideration of the bill for newly organizing, arming and disciplining the militia, of the United States; and after some time spent the cin, the committee rose, and being discharged from a further consideration of it, the bill was recommended to a select committee.
A bill was received from the Senate for authorizing the President to procure a number of small vessels to be equipped as galleys or otherwise.
The house adjourned till Monday.
Married on Thursday evening, by the Rev. Dr. Blackwell, Mr. CHARLES MARSHALL, Junr. to the amiable and accomplished Miss MARY WALLIS.
The report of the loss of a vessel bound from Halifax to Boston, together with the passengers on board, published in our paper of yesterday under the Boston head, turns out to be the fabrication of some vagrant Callender, lately discharged from the prison in Boston.
THEATRE.
The following Toasts were given in the Interlude of General Wolfe, last evening, written by Mr. Marshall for that occasion. May the Sword of Virtue, drawn in the cause of Freedom, never be sheathed but in Conquest!
May the blessings of Liberty, secured to us by the blood of our Forefathers, never be forfeited by the degeneracy of their Sons.
The grateful Memory of those Heroes who fought, bled and died for their Country—Standing and uncovered, with 3 cheers.
Although Bache called his myrmidons to arms, and requested the republican party (as he called it) to go to the Theatre in a strong body for the purpose of exciting riot and tumult, yet the PATRIOTIC SONG was received last evening with more enthusiastic applause than before. It was again encored and sung four times, and called for much oftener. As the Theatre, more than any other place, brings together people of all sorts and classes, the execration which the French murder-thouts have received there and the unbounded and incessant plaudits that have for some time past been bestowed on our own National Music is a happy evidence of the patriotic state of the public mind.
Extract of a letter from Richmond, April 23. "Since the publication of the Dispatches from our Envoys, a wonderful change has taken place among those here who have been opposed to the Government, and in favor of the French."
For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES. Bache and his myrmidons are continually growling about the influence which the British Merchants have on the politics of America. It is really singular if they have any influence
that all those places at which they reside should send representatives noted for their hostility to Great Britain. It is well known that in New England (the great Bulwark of our Government) there are very few imported citizens of any description. The trade of that country is altogether carried on by native Americans. New-York where there are a number of British Merchants, sends a Jacobin representative. Philadelphia where perhaps they are still more numerous sends Mr. Swanwick, Baltimore Mr. Smith, Alexandria Mr. Brent, Norfolk Mr. Parker; Charleston indeed sends Mr. Pinckney; but until his election, which was unanimous, I am told there was generally a majority of ant federal votes in the city, which were only counterbalanced by the Federalism of the adjoining counties.
COMMON SENSE.
Our Democrats may be assured, that their property is as sweet to our dear allies, as that of a Federalist, or Aristocrat. They have found to their cost in many instances.
NEW DEFINITION OF CONTRABAND.
An American Captain, lately carried into Guadalupe, asked Victor Hughes what goods he considered as contraband, Victor very candidly answered, all that are worth taking.

Israel Morris against Thomas Margaret, James Bell, Marshall and Benjamin Smith, Executors of Samuel Tucker, deceased. THE object of the bill, is for the Complainant, Israel Morris, to obtain relief against a judgment on a bond by him executed, on the 31st day of December, 1783, to the said Samuel Tucker, for the sum of £200 principal. The relief is prayed on the ground, that the Complainant assigned, by way of security for the said money, a bond to him the Complainant, executed by Samuel Downings, for the sum of £350, that the said Tucker received of the money due on the said last mentioned bond the sum of £100, and neglected to take steps for obtaining the residue, until the said Downings became insolvent. The bill states that all the defendants are now residents of the State.
