makes blank in my remembrance OF lise.
The frit thing | was informed ct was
the fall of Roberfpiere.
About week after tits Mr.. Mon
roe arrived to iupercede Gougerneuf Nor
ris, and as loon as ] was able TO write
note legible enough to be read, found
way to convey one 10 him, by means of
the man who lighted the lamps in the
prilon and Whole nnabated friendfhip to-
me, from whom he had never received any
iervice, aud with difficulty accepted any
recompence, puts the character of MIR.
Warrington TO llla.ne.
In few days ! received menage from
MIR. Monroe, conveyed TO rae in a note
from an intermediate perfon, with aaur-
ance of his triend(hip, and expecting
deGre thar | would ref the cafe 10 his
hands. After fortnight or more had
paHed and hearing nothing further, |
wrote TO friend who was then in Paris,
a citizen of Philadelphia, reque0ing him
TO inform me what was the true ftuation
Of things with refpect TO NE. / was iure
fomething was the matter. ! began to
have hard thoughts of Mr. Warrington
but was unwilling to encounter them.
In about ten days received an an
fwer to my letterin which the writer lays:
I" Mr.. Monroe has told me thar he has
!" no orders (meaning from the PRECEDENT,
!" Mr.. Waiting toni Rejecting you, but
I" that he lMr. Monroe) will do every
g thing in his power to liberase you /;
/" bur from what | learn from the Ame
I" ricans lately arrived in Paris, you are
(" not conGdered, either by the American
government or by the individuals, as
I" an American CITIZEN
/ was at no lois TO underfand Mr..
Warrington and his new tangled faction,
and that their policy was flently to leave
me to fall in France. They were rulhing
as faf as they could venture, without
awaking the jealoufy of America into all
the vices and conceptions OF the Briillh
government and it was no more conhf-
emf with the policy of Mr.. Warrington,
and thoie who immediately furrounded
him, than it was with that of Robert
pierre or of Pitt, that | fhould furvive.-
They have however, miGed the mark
and the reaction is upon thetnlelyes.
Upon the receipt OF the letter juit allud-
ed TO, fent memorial to MIR, Monroe,
and l received the following anlwer. 1t is
dated the 18th of September, bur did not
come to hand till about the 10th of Oc-
tober.
Paris, September IS, 1894.
DEAR SIR,
| was favored foon after my arrival
here with feveral letters from you, and
more latterly with one in the character of
a memorial, upon the fubjeet Of your con-
fnemcnt and lhould have anfwered them
at the times they were respectively
written. Had I not concluded you
would have calculated with certainty
upon the deep inteief take in your wei
fare, and the pleaiure with which | ihall
embrace every opportunity in my power
to ferye you. I ihould fill purlue the
fame courle, and for realons which mutt
obyiouly occur, if did not find that
you are difquieted with approximations, up
on interefing points, and which juRice to
you and our country equally forbid you
fhould entertain. You mention that
you have been informed you are not con-
Gdered as an American citizens by the
Americans, and that you have likewile
heard that | had no infru6tions Rejecting
you by the government. l doubt not
the perlon who gave you the information
meant we'll, but fufpea he did not even
convey accurately his own idea. On the
firlf point for | prefume the moG he
could lay is that you had likewile become
French citizen and which by no means |
deprived you of being an American one. |
