As AZ ,f,ccr'o Of the French nepubck. arn satisf-
ed in my own mind that you are possessed OF feel
ings Of warm affection towards our country % well
as your own and rejoice to observe your expecta-
,on that your conduct being made publck, will ev-
iden,;y appear to have bees right IN the eyes OF all
rrasona bic men, and will make those ashamed whose
produces have caused them with great industry to
load YOU with abuse and caiumny,
earnestly pray that your future residence IN the
United states AS Minister Plenpolentiary, may rem
der YOU personally happy, being already persuaded
il will greatly tend to p omote the common cause OF
liberty and the rights OF man.

South CaroEaa, TO Edmond Charles Genet
cuARLEsToSs Feb III, 1874.
BE assured, Citizen, I feel very great concern on
being informed that your nation has recalled you
from the United States they certainly knew your
worth, or you would not have been appointed TO me
important trust to which they have placed you oat
they did not consider our infant government, quite
unacquainted with European politicks, having no
other idea than plain honest Republican prnclphes'
we're sliding fast in the vortex OF BRUSH i"naenee
Their trade, their gold and mercantile interest
would have soon swallowed Us up.
You came here Mt most critical Juncture iof a.
ncrica your abilities, your integrity TO ysur country
aud your friendship for ours, caused you 10 exert
yourself in endeayouring TO cement ,he Two 'ePup,
icks but this zealou, exerton has Deef co"stfuea
war. ~ f'Ntf :, :,
Unfortunately you arc surrounded by the ministers
Of d. spots, who, already were at our general gov
eminent and who previous 10 your arr'vai N Amer.
;ca had insinuated themselves with the ministerial
men of this government, that from hence you had
as much 10 combat with in the Cabinet, as your Ne
publick had in the field
The very ministers Of those powers who were car
ryinr on war against your country, were warning a.
ra,st YOU in Our cabinet. The people OF America
IN General re chagrned on hearing Of your recall,
and do still encourage the hopc that upon serious
consideration, the recall will not take place cspe-
cialy when we are not ignorant OF the mlsbehaviour
of our minister at tho French nation, and also know
Of nv furbcaring to complain OF him to us, which
forbearaiice can be placed only to the regard they
cherish for the American people.
am Of opinion, citizen, that your country will
lose much by fccalling you from hence the busi-
ness you have donc and what you now have IN hand,
Is of the utnpost importance to your as well my
country. 1 am therefore stiA hopeful, that your
stay among US will be continued, particularly Wien
.e NATIONAL convention shall receive information that
ali the reports which have been spread to your pre-
ids.c have been proved to be papable faisehoods,
downright lies and political tricks, contrvcd for the
,arposc of destroying the good understanding which
United States
notwithstanding the ministerial gentry may tri-
umph on your recall ; your stay among US, citizen,
is the desire Of which the greater part OF the peo
PIE Of America (the trading towns excepted) who
are mostly under British influence My, should your
recall take place. let the French Repubiick send
whom they may, he must expect to combat te
same difficulties which you have encountered. uo-
less he shall quit the interest OF his country and
tsmey submit to what may be dictated to hun.
Yours, &c. (signeO WM MouLTRlE
