lection Of Mr. Jefferson, but before his Inaugural
ton; In which he stated the fact of his having
been nominated to the Senate minister 10 France
that the nomination had been concurred in mem.
con. that he been commissioned, and had resigned;
and he gave, as his reasons for refusing to serve,
IN substance, that il he had accepted the appoint
ment, he would have been receiving $4,000 Of
the public money, without the possibility OF rem
