OF the french Republic Win cuphcIy dDd oe
ception, with having been the firi to inhame
his miad with i'll mPreaions OF The principles
and views Of ieading characters in our Gov
eminent, not excepting the revefed Wathing
ton ;-that this Chief, al a very critical period
of our affairs in reference 10 the w.r of Eu
rope, withdrew frcm the direSion of that de-
partment peculiarly charged with the manage
ment of our foreign relations, evidently to a
void being more deeply implicated in the con
frqnences of the pofto1, which had been az
fumed by the adminilt alton; but on The hol
low pretence IF dlke TO public life and a
love to philofcPhic retirement. Citizens Of
america-markt the fequel, ald learn from
i. inRruaicn You have been fnce agitated
to the centre, 10 raife TO the 6ra fation in your
government, the very man who, at conjunc-
ture when your fafety and your welfsre de
manded bis fay, early reliRquifhe1 fubordi
nate, but exalted and very influential pof, on
pretence as frivolous as il has proved to be in
iincere Was BE-, like the virtuous Wilmington,
forced from beloved retreat, by the unani-
nous and urgent call Of his country? No
he italked fo th tie Champion of Faetion--hav-
ing never ceaed, in the thade Of bis retreat, by
all The arts of intrigue, TO prepare the way to
that elevation for which realefs ambition i'm
patiently painted.
The undcfigned eulogy Of the men abb bare
teen GIgdeysa orr o The eonfsaee Of tier tsgzD ci
asa5, has not been confined to the hsuation Of
the country, as connected with the war of Eu
rope. In the view given of he very 8lurifhrg
ftate of our finances, rhe WORT OF the calum
nies againf thofe men is refuted; and it is ad
niirted, that il this article Of vital importance
to the public welfare, their meaiures have been
provid-nt and effednal beyond exampls.-To
The charge Of defgn 10 addle the nation with
perpetual debt, plain contradiction is given
by the conoefion. that the proyiGons which
have been made for It are 10 ample, as even
I juiify The relnquilhrnent Of a part 10 lds
conGderaole than she rubsLs Of tie internal revea
ue.-The fame propofal teaiies the brilliant fuc-
crfs of our Efcal fyaem generally; and that it is
more than equal TO all that has been un5ertaken,
TO all that has been promned TO the nation.
The report of the Secretary Of the Treafury,
as publilhed, confirms this high commentator
OF the conduit Of the former adn1iniQrafons. After
relieving each fate from the burden Of its par
ticular debt, by ahuming the payment of il on
account of the United States, in add ton to the
general debt of the nation; after fettling the
accounts between the hates relatively TO their
exertions for the common defence in our
revolutionary war, and providing fol the bal
ances found due to iuch of them as were credi-
tors after maintaining, with com plete tuccels,
an ohftinate and expentive war with The Indian
tribes; after making large diiburienents for
the fuPprellioD of two iniurreaions againR the
government after liberal contributions TO the
Barbary powers TO induce them TO open TO our
merchants I he trade of the Mediterranean; az.
ter incnrring reiponiibiiey for indemnities
to large amount, due TO Britiih merchants In
confecuence OF infradions Of the treaty of peace
by fome Of the hates after heavy expenditures
for creating and fuPpoE ting navy, and for other
preparations TO gard our independence & terito-
ry agsinR the holtiliiies of a foreign nation at
ter the Accomplishment of all thefe very impor,
tant objects, il is now declared 70 rhe United
ST ates by the prefent head of the Trealnry, by
the confidential mioiaer of the prefsnt Chief
MagiRrate, the mott fubtl and implscabie of
the enemies of the former adminitrations,
/" That the actual revenues ofthe Union are flfi-
cient to dffray az expenees civH and military Of

it be underitood that the revenues fpoken Of
