Ay. kno ,n by the name of the Insurrec-
Aim; ; referring to certain overtures which had been
made to him by one of the exclusive,patriots, (whom
be named), and, which he had before communicated
ta his Governatent-=-Faechet says,." ThuS, with
some thonsands,of dollars the Republic could have
decided on civil 'war or peace ! Thus tht consciences

4. The notorious treachery of -Many officers,'
civil and military, of the countries .which' have been
over-run by the aims of France, and whose treason
can be ascribed to no cause but the distribution' of
French gold, or the deluttive promises of elevation
to higher employmenni and dignities, as in the case
of Godoy, the Prince of Peace, who betrayed -Spain
into the hands of Buonaparte, ; or to both these
causes. Accordingly, the, opinion is general, that
this sort of corruption has been. the efficient pioneer
to the French-artnies, and opened their way. to con-
quest. •
6., The open avowal of, the fact' by a French
agent at the time that Adet, the successor of Fauchet,
was the French Minister in Philadelphia. This
agent was Mr. Letombe, the Consul-General of the
FrenCh Republic; a person well known to many of
my felloW citizens, as ;veil as to Me% Letombe had
previously been French Cousul'at Boston: had lived
some years in the,United States ; and .was doubtless
'• much better informed concerning them than the
Mini,ter Ado. Washington was then President of
the United States; and probably Letombe perceived
that the time had not arrived far France, by her hi-
trigues and bribery, to 'gain an effeetual ascendancy
in the councils of our nation. Letonabe according-,
meniinned the its a tone of complaint and
vexation. It was to a very intelligent and respect-
able' Gentleman of my,acquaintance, to whom Le-
tombe " that Mr. Adet had foolishly thrown
away a great deal ofmoney in bribing.. Members of
Congiess although they (Letombe and the Mini's.;
ter) were put to much difficulty in raising it; and
that they had, at great loss/to the French French
Republic in the negociaiion, procured eighty or
ninety thousand dollars at Boston." I quote from
my memorandum, made at the time the informa-
tion was given to me., Mr. Adet's mission to the
United States terminated near 'the close of the year
Since.that time the French GOvernment has
found less', difficulty in procuring money. Tire
plunder of the world, and the' mine! of Mexico and
Peru have been Open to them. Eighteen- months
ago, I received satisfaolory intormation, that the
Frenchman, who was then Buonaparte's Conan!.
General in 'Philadelphia, had in,the course of one
year received about a million of dollars, for which
the French Government could have no legitimate
use in the United States ; because it then neither
derived nor' needed any supplies from the United
States,

The evidences of corruption, of falsehood, of hy-
pocrisy, and deceipt,. in Atte men whose official or
perabrittl 117Caua dud inaucoec have for many years
given a. direCtion to the publib sentiment, and
managed the attairs of the United States, it has
been necessary to exhibit to the view of my fellow-
citizens ; because the only hope of political salva-
tion rested-on the public conviction, that those men
did not deserve the confidence'of the nation, This
exp-sure was anticipated with regret ; because (as
I early remarked) i` in exposing them I ,ahould
avoidably eX4iose the nalcednesss of my country ;
