THOMAS PAINE'S LETTER TO GENERAL WASHINGTON.
[Continued.]
The part in Mr. Monroe's letter in which he speaks of the President (Mr. Washington) is put in soft language.—Mr. Monroe knew what Mr. Washington had said formerly, and he was willing to keep that in view. But the fact is not only that Mr. Washington had given no orders to Mr. Monroe, as the letter stated; but he did not so much as say to him, enquire if Mr. Paine be dead or alive, in prison or out, or see if there is any assistance we can give him.
While these matters were passing the liberations from the prisons were numerous; from twenty to forty in the course of almost every twenty four hours. The continuance of my imprisonment, after a new minister had arrived immediately from America, which was now more than two months, was a matter so obviously strange, that I found the character of the American government spoken of in very unqualified terms of reproach; not only by those who were liberated, but by persons who had access to the prison from without. Under these circumstances, I wrote again to Mr. Monroe, and found occasion, among other things to say: "It will not add to the popularity of Mr. Washington to have it believed in America, as it is believed here, that he connives at my imprisonment."
The case, so far as it respected Mr. Monroe was, that having to get over the difficulties which the strange conduct of Gouverneur Morris had thrown in the way of a successor, and having no authority from the American government to speak officially upon any thing relating to me, he found himself obliged to proceed by unofficial means with individual members; for though Robespierre was overthrown, the Robespierrian members of the committee of Public Safety still remained in considerable force, and had they found out that Mr. Monroe had no official authority upon the case, they would have paid little or no regard to his reclamation of me. In the mean time my health was suffering exceedingly, the dreary prospect of winter was coming on, and imprisonment was still a thing of danger.
After the Robespierrian members of the Committee were removed by the expiration of their time of serving, Mr. Monroe reclaimed me, and I was liberated the 4th of November. Mr. Monroe arrived in Paris the beginning of August before. All that period of my imprisonment, at least, I owe not to Robespierre, but to his colleague in projects, George Washington. Immediately upon my liberation Mr. Monroe invited me to his house where I remained more than a year and a half; and I speak of his aid and his friendship, as an open hearted man will always do in such a case, with respect and gratitude.
Soon after my liberation the Convention passed an unanimous vote to invite me to return to my seat among them. The times were still unsettled and dangerous, as well from without as from within, for the coalition was unbroken, and the constitution not settled. I chose, however, to accept the invitation; for as I undertake nothing but what I believe to be right, I abandon nothing that I undertake; and I was willing also to shew, that, as I was not of a cast of mind to be deterred by prospects or retrospects of danger, so neither were my principles to be weakened by misfortune, or perverted by disgust.
Being now once more abroad in the world I began to find that I was not the only one who had conceived an unfavorable opinion of Mr. Washington. It was evident that his character was on the decline as well among Americans as among foreigners of different nations. From being the chief of a government, he had made himself the chief of a party; and his integrity was questioned, for his politics had a doubtful appearance. The mission of Mr. Jay to London, notwithstanding there was an American minister there already, had then taken place, and was beginning to be talked of. It appeared to others, as it did to me, to be enveloped in mystery, which every day served either to encrease or to explain into matter of suspicion.
In the year 1792, or about that time, Mr. Washington as President had sent Gouverneur Morris to London as his secret agent to have some communication
with the British ministry. To cover the agency of Morris it was given out, I know not by whom, that he went as an agent from Robert Morris to borrow money in Europe, and the report was permitted to pass uncontradicted. The event of Morris's negotiation was, that Mr. Hammond was sent minister from England to America, and Pinckney from America to England, and himself minister to France. If while Morris was minister in France he was not an emissary of the British ministry and the coalesced powers, he gave strong reasons to suspect him of it. No one who saw his conduct, and heard his conversation, could doubt his being in their interest: and had he not got off at the time he did, after his recall, he would have been in arrestation. Some letters of his had fallen into the hands of the Committee of Public Safety, and enquiry was making after him.
A great bustle has been made by Mr. Washington about the conduct of Genet in America; while that of his own minister, Morris, in France was infinitely more reproachable. If Genet was imprudent or rash, he was not treacherous; but Morris was all three. He was the enemy of the French revolution in every stage of it. But, notwithstanding this conduct on the part of Morris, and the known profligacy of his character, Mr. Washington, in a letter he wrote to him at the time of recalling him on the complaint and request of the Committee of Public Safety assures him, that though he had complied with that request, he still retained the same esteem and friendship for him as before.—This letter Morris was foolish enough to tell of; and as his own character and conduct were notorious, the telling of it could have but one effect, which was that of implicating the character of the writer. Morris still loiters in Europe, chiefly in England; and Mr. Washington is still in correspondence with him; Mr. Washington ought therefore to expect, especially since his conduct in the affair of Jay's treaty, that France must consider Morris and Washington as men of the same description. The chief difference, however, between the two is (for in politics there is none) that the one is profligate enough to profess an indifference about moral principles, and the other is prudent enough to conceal the want of them.
About three months after I was at liberty, the official note of Jay to Grenville on the subject of the capture of American vessels by British cruisers, appeared in the American papers that arrived at Paris.—Every thing was of a piece. Every thing was mean. The same kind of character went to all circumstances public or private. Disgusted at this national degradation, as well as at the particular conduct of Mr. Washington to me, I wrote to him (Mr. Washington) on the 22d of Feb. 1795, under cover to the then Secretary of State, Mr. Randolph, and entrusted the letter to Mr. Letombe, who was appointed French consul to Philadelphia, and was on the point of taking his departure. When I supposed Mr. Letombe had failed, I mentioned the letter to Mr. Monroe, and as I was then in his house, I shewed it to him. He expressed a wish that I would recall it, which he supposed might be done, as he had learned that Mr. Letombe had not then failed. I agreed to do so, and it was returned by Mr. Letombe under cover to Mr. Monroe.
The letter, however, will now reach Mr. Washington publicly in the course of this work.
About the month of September following, I had a severe relapse, which gave occasion to the report of my death. I had felt it coming on a considerable time before, which occasioned me to hasten the work I had then in hand, the "Second part of the Age of Reason." When I had finished that work, I bestowed another letter on Mr. Washington, which I sent under cover to Mr. Benjamin Franklin Bache, of Philadelphia. The letter is as follows:
To GEORGE WASHINGTON, President of the United States.
PARIS, Sept. 20th, 1795.
SIR,
I had written you a letter by Mr. Letombe, French consul, but at the request of Mr. Monroe, I withdrew it, and the letter is still by me. I was the more easy prevailed upon to do this, as it was then my intention to have returned to America the latter end of the present year, 1795; but the illness I now suffer prevents me. In case I had come, I should have applied to you for such parts of your official letters (and of your private ones, if you had
chosen to give them) as contained any instructions or directions either to Mr. Monroe, or to Mr. Morris, or to any other person respecting me; for, after you were informed of my imprisonment in France, it was incumbent on you to have made some enquiry into the cause, as you might well conclude, that I had not the opportunity of informing you of it. I cannot understand your silence upon this subject upon any other ground, than as connivance at my imprisonment; and this is the manner it is understood here, and will be understood in America, unless you can give me authority for contradicting it. I therefore write you this letter, to propose to you to send me copies of any letters you have written that may remove that suspicion. In the preface to the second part of the Age of Reason, I have given a memorandum from the hand writing of Robespierre, in which he proposed a decree of accusation against me, "for the interest of America as well as of France." He could have no cause for putting America into the case, but by interpreting the silence of the American government into connivance and consent. I was imprisoned on the ground of being born in England; and your silence in not enquiring into the cause of that imprisonment and reclaiming me against it, was tacitly giving me up. I ought not to have suspected you of treachery; but whether I recover from the illness I now suffer, or not, I shall continue to think you treacherous, till you give me cause to think otherwise. I am sure you would have found yourself more at your ease, had you acted as you ought; for whether your desertion of me was intended to gratify the English government, or let me fall into destruction in France, that you might exclaim the louder against the French revolution, or whether you hoped by my extinction to meet with less opposition in mounting up the American government; either of these will involve you in reproach, you will not easily shake off.
THOMAS PAINE.
Here follows the letter above alluded to, which I had stopped in complaisance to Mr. Monroe.
To GEORGE WASHINGTON, President of the United States.
PARIS, October 22d, 1795.
SIR,
As it is always painful to reproach those one would wish to respect, it is not without some difficulty that I have taken the resolution to write to you. The dangers to which I have been exposed cannot have been unknown to you, and the guarded silence you have observed upon that circumstance is what I ought not to have expected from you, either as a friend or president of the United States.
You know enough of my character to be assured, that I could not have deserved imprisonment in France, and without knowing any thing more than this, you had sufficient ground to have taken some interest for my safety. Every motive arising from recollection of times past, ought to have suggested to you the propriety of such a measure. But I cannot find that you have so much as directed any enquiry to be made, whether I was in prison or at liberty, dead or alive; what the cause of that imprisonment was, or whether there was any service or assistance you could render. Is this what I ought to have expected from America, after the part I have acted towards her, or will it redound to her honour or to yours, that I tell the story? I do not hesitate to say, that you have not served America with more disinterestedness or greater zeal, or more fidelity than myself, and I know not if with better effect. After the revolution of America was established, I ventured into new scenes of difficulties to extend the principles which that revolution had produced, & you rested at home to partake of the advantages. In the progress of events, you beheld yourself a President in America, and me prisoner in France. You folded your arms, forget your friends, and became silent.
As every thing I have been doing in Europe was connected with my wishes for the prosperity of America, I ought to be more surprised at this conduct on the part of her government. It leaves me but one mode of explanation, which is, that every thing is just as it ought to be amongst you, and that the presence of a man who might disapprove, and who had credit enough with the country to be heard and believed, was not wished for. This was the operating motive which the despotic faction that imprisoned me in France (though the pretence was, that I was a foreigner) and
those that have been silent and inactive towards me in America, appear to me to have acted from the same motive, of wishing me out of the way. It is impossible for me to discover any other.
Considering the part I have acted in the revolution of America, it is natural that I feel interested in whatever relates to her character and prosperity. Though I am not on the spot, to see what is immediately acting there, I see some part of what she is acting in Europe. For your own sake, as well as for that of America, I was both surprised and concerned at the appointment of Gouverneur Morris to be minister to France. His conduct has proved that the opinion I had formed of that appointment was well founded. I wrote that opinion to Mr. Jefferson at the time, and I was frank enough to say the same thing to Morris, that it was an unfortunate appointment. His prating, insignificant pomposity, rendered him at once offensive, suspected and ridiculous; and his total neglect of all business had so disgusted the Americans, that they proposed entering a protest against him.—He carried this neglect to such an extreme, that it was necessary to inform him of it, and I asked him one day if he did not feel himself ashamed to take the money of the country and do nothing for it.—But Morris is so fond of profit and voluptuousness, that he cares nothing about character. Had he not been removed at the time he was, I think his conduct would have precipitated the two countries into a rupture; and in this case, hatred systematically, as America is and ever will be by the British government, and suspected by France, the commerce of America would have fallen a prey to both countries.
If the inconsistent conduct of Morris exposed the interest of America to some hazard in France, the pusillanimous conduct of Mr. Jay in England has rendered the character of the American government contemptible in Europe. Is it possible that any man who had contributed to the independence of America, and to free her from tyranny and injustice of the British government, can read without shame and indignation, the note of Jay to Grenville. It is a satire upon the declaration of independence, and encouragement to the British government to treat America with contempt. At the time this minister of petitions was acting this miserable part, he had every means in his hands to enable him to have done his business as he ought. The success or failure of his mission depended upon the success or failure of the French arms. Had France failed, Mr. Jay might have put his humble petition in his pocket, and gone home. The case happened to be otherwise, and he has sacrificed the honor and perhaps all the advantages of it, by turning petitioner. I take it for granted, that he was sent to demand indemnification for the captured property; and in this case, if he thought he wanted a preamble to his demand, he might have said: "That though the government of England might suppose itself under the necessity of seizing American property bound to France, yet the supposed necessity could not preclude indemnification to the proprietors, who acting under the authority of their own government, were not accountable to any other." But Mr. Jay sets out with an implied recognition of the right of the British government to seize and condemn; for he enters his complaint against the irregularity of the seizures and the condemnation, as if they were reprehensible only by not being conformable to the terms of the proclamation under which they were seized. Instead of being the envoy of a government, he goes over like a lawyer to demand a new trial. I can hardly help believing, that Grenville wrote the note himself and Jay signed it, for the style of it is domestic, and not diplomatic. The term, His Majesty, used without any descriptive epithet, always signifies the king whom the minister that speaks, represents. If this asking of the demand into a petition was a juggle between Grenville and Jay, to cover the indemnification, I think it will end in another juggle, that of never paying the money, and be made use of afterwards to preclude the right of demanding it; for Mr. Jay has virtually disowned the right by appealing to the magnanimity of his Majesty against the capturers. He has appointed this magnanimous Majesty to be umpire in this case, and the government of the United States must abide by the decision. If Sir, I turn some part of this affair into ridicule,

it is to avoid the unpleasant sensation of serious indignation. Among other things, which I confess I do not understand, is the proclamation of neutrality. This has always appeared to me as an assumption on the part of the executive, not warranted by the constitution. But passing this over, as a disputed case, & considering it only as political, the consequence has been that of sustaining the losses of war without the balance of reprisals. When the profession of neutrality on the part of America was answered by hostilities on the part of Britain, the object and intention of that neutrality existed no longer, and to maintain it after this was not only to encourage further insults and depredations, but was an informal breach of neutrality towards France, by passively contributing to the aid of her enemy. That the government of England considered the American government as pusillanimous, is evident from the increasing insolence of the former towards the latter, till the affair of Gen. Wayne. She then saw it might be possible to kick a government into some degree of spirit. So far as the proclamation of neutrality was intended to prevent a dissolute spirit of privateering in America under foreign colours, it was undoubtedly laudable; but to continue it as a government neutrality, after the commerce of the country was made war upon, was submission, and not neutrality. I have heard so much about this thing called neutrality, that I know not if the ungenerous and dishonorable silence (for I must call it such) that has been observed by your part of the government towards me during my imprisonment, has not in some measure arisen from that policy.
Though I have written you this letter you ought not to suppose it has been an agreeable undertaking to me. On the contrary, I assure you, it has cost me some disquietude. I am sorry you have given me cause to do it; for as I have always remembered your former friendship with pleasure, I suffer a loss by your depriving me of that sentiment. THOMAS PAINE.

NEW YORK November 12. The brig Lydia, captain Bowie, (whose loss we noticed in our last) went ashore on long beach, about three miles to the southward of Barnegatt shoals, on Sunday, in a violent gale of wind. Two of her crew perished, viz. Wm. Griffiths (a seaman) and the cabin boy. The principal part of the cargo will be saved; the vessel is gone to pieces.
BALTIMORE, November 13. Arrived, schooner Nautilus, captain Bishop, 19 days from Port Republican. Letters per the Nautilus represent the island to be in the most deplorable state. The coffee plantations are generally laid waste by the contending armies, and the present crop is nearly all destroyed. The blacks continue their ravages and are successful in almost every engagement with the white troops. They are well supplied with arms and ammunition, have taken L'Arcahaye, and surround and menace Port Republican, which it was supposed they could make an easy conquest of, were they acquainted with the weakness of the place, and the dismay of their opponents. 300 women and children and a few men had arrived at that place from L'Arcahaye, but not an officer escaped death, and several boats, over-crowded with fugitive women and children, had sunk.
Vessels left at Port Republican, by captain Bishop. Brigs Mary, Grafton, Baltimore; Two Sisters, Watson, Philadelphia; Lovely Lucy, Bravo, do. Friendship, O'Connor, do. Nancy, Browngings, Charleston; Favorite, Slocom, New York; Norpariel, Tracy, New London; Unanimous, Staples, Boston; schrs. Eagle, Ellis, Baltimore; Nancy, Ford, do.

Captain Quails in a new schooner from Norfolk, had failed for Jamaica three days before the departure of the Nautilus, passing L'Arcahaye the day the Nautilus left Port Republican. The blacks were keeping up a continual fire on that town, but saw no return of fire, the houses appeared not to be burnt, and no firing in the country, near the town. On the passing St. Marks, saw 4 schooners crowded with women. In lat. 27, 30, long. 73,
spoke the schooner Kitty, of Charleston, captain James Smith; who was bound to Barbados, and was then steering for New Providence, having lost her mails in lat. 29, 55, long. 72.

An article from Lexington (Ken.) of the 26th ult. says, "Accounts as late as the 17th September, assure us that the port of New-Orleans was shut up. Whether this order was given by the Spaniards or by the French was a matter of uncertainty. The writer promises to give the earliest information on this subject."
Extract of letter from Jonesborough, (T.) dated Oct. 6.
"A number of reports are in circulation in this and the adjoining counties, which if true, we think a rupture with the Cherokee Indians not far distant. It is reported and generally believed, that the Indians have positively refused to give up the murderer of young Runner, in consequence of which a number of Mr. Runner's friends, some say 30, others more, had armed themselves to take satisfaction, and had actually gone into the Indian territory. Another report states that some of Mr. Runner's friends had armed themselves with an intention to take the Indian offenders by force and bring them to justice, but were stopped by the governor. Another report adds that the Indians had got alarmed, destroyed their growing crops and fled from the upper towns for shelter in the lower part of the nation, and two white men had been killed in the wilderness between Knoxville."
Extract of a letter from Lexington, (Ken.) dated Oct. 26.
"A short time since, a keel boat with 14 hands coming up from New Orleans, laden with the produce of that country, in passing a bend of the river below, what is called the Little Prairie, the bank gave way, and a tree of considerable size fell upon the boat and burst it asunder. It is said there was to the amount of 30,000 dollars worth on board. What appears very extraordinary is, that not a single individual of the boats crew received any injury. They got upon the tree and went with the current until the next day, when they were taken up by a boat also loaded coming up the river, all of which arrived safe. A son of Mr. J. Price, near this place, was part owner of the property lost."
SPANISH DEPREDACTIONS.
The committee appointed in August last, by those in this town and its vicinity, who have suffered by seizure, detention or depredation of their property, committed by Spaniards, have lately received a letter from the Secretary of State—in which he recommends in the following words, an accurate representation of each case to be prepared in duplicates; one to be sent to Mr. Pinckney, our minister at Madrid; the other to the Office of State, viz.—"To enable him (Mr. Pinckney) to proceed with greater precision and effect, in his discussions and reclamations, it is recommended, that the several cases be so discriminated by their circumstances, as to show how far they rest on general regulations or special licences from competent authorities; how far on licences reasonably presumed to be competent, though in strictness not so; how far on sudden and enacting repeals of general regulations or discontinuances of special indulgences; how far on the calculation from existing circumstances, that the ordinary colonial policy of Spain would be relaxed; and how far on fraudulent proceedings of Spanish subjects. As in this last case the claimants may be required to show that satisfaction has been sought in vain from the regular tribunals of the place, it will be prudent for them to be prepared to meet such a preliminary."
This recommendation from the Secretary of State, has a particular reference to cases of seizure and detention, in the Spanish colonies; but as clear and accurate statements of all cases of reclamation for injuries sustained in those colonies, are necessary, to enable our Minister to obtain just indemnity therefor, the committee inform those persons in the New England
States, who have claims for injuries, of any kind done, in the Spanish colonies, to their property, that if they will prepare and forward representations thereof to them, directed to Thomas Burley, in Boston, post paid, they will be attended to, and carefully sent to Mr. Pinckney, and to the Secretary of State. As our minister, at Madrid, has already been fully instructed by the Secretary of State, to pursue the claims referred to, and may soon enter upon the discussion of preliminary points, it is important that the claimants prepare and send forward their respective representations with all expedition.

TORIES! TORIES! TORIES!
You cannot look at a page in any democratic print but you see those frightful words. But what is a tory? Mr. Jefferson says "he who supports the existing government." Then our democrats have become tories. But the democrats assert that by tories they mean those who did not assist in our revolution. And they declare that those are all federalists. How does it happen then, ye intellectual striplings, that those states where there was, in the time of the revolution, scarcely a tory to be seen, are now mostly federal? And that those states in which tories most abounded are now democratic? In N. England there were but few, very few tories. N. England is decidedly federal. New-York, Virginia, Pennsylvania and Georgia were thronged with tories. They are now democratic. These are indubitable facts, and how do they accord with your infamous assertions? Besides, your Mr. Jefferson has raised more tories to office than did both Washington and Adams. Tench Coxe piloted the British into Philadelphia, he is now Collector of the Revenue in Pennsylvania. George Stephens, was proscribed as a tory in Georgia. He is now an officer. Ludlow and Edgar of New York; Erving of Boston; Wilson of Worcester, and many others, have been appointed since Jefferson was president, all acknowledged tories. You cannot mention as many tories who held offices under the former administration. Is not Jefferson then the patron of tories?—And do you, Duane, when in one hand you grasp your 11,000 dollars, and with the other write against tories, remember that while America struggled for freedom, you was a Briton, aiding and assisting her oppressors?—And you Holt and Mitchell, ought to blush, when you extract into your vehicles of slander the nonsense of this Irish renegado.

From the London Courier of September 25.
General Andreossi's non-arrival has occasioned no little surprise, and some slight uneasiness. We know not that any accounts have yet been received of his having left Paris. It was rumored in the city, this morning, that there was some demur—we disbelieve it: Our expectations are seldom gratified soon as we wish, and a day or two's delay, in perhaps, of little importance, now in perhaps, of been definitively settled between two countries.

A letter from Margate, Sept. 23, says—"A boat has just arrived in fifteen hours from Ostend. I have conversed with one of the passengers, who appears to be a very intelligent man. He states that orders have been issued within the last six days to prevent any Prussian vessel which entered the harbor from unloading. This prohibition has been very strictly enforced and it very naturally led to apprehensions that some difference had taken place between the Consular Government and his Prussian Majesty; a circumstance however, extremely improbable. My informant also mentioned to me, that the population of Ostend has considerably diminished even since the peace; that of trade they have none, except a little in salt. This he attributed to the very high duties which have been imposed on almost all articles of commerce by the French government. The following addition to these already existing has been made within the last ten days:
50 per cent. upon Tobacco, 24 1/4 per lb. on Raw Sugar and Coffee, 30 Guilders per ton upon Foreign Fish. He adds that a tax of 12s. per childron
has been laid upon all British Coals imported.
