document containing the response has
not been communicated TO Congress,
&c. &c. II the Chambers had been
convened earlier than usual, though no.
thing should have been done by them,
at the time that Congress met, it is not
probable, says the Report, that the
President would have held the language
towards France, which is contained in
his Message: nor would he, il he had
known what subsequent intelligence
has disclosed, that the Chambers we're
to meet on the LIST of December.
The reasons assigned by the French
Ministry for not calling an extra meet
ing of the Chambers were plausible at
least, and if they do not command
conviction, would Justify acquiescence
in the course of the King, il, as the
Committee are entirely convinced,
throughout the negotiation, and on all
occasions, before the treaty and after
the treaty, the King has invariably
shown an anxious desire for the salts.
factory adjustment Of the differences
between France and the U. S. The
opposition to the execution Of the trea-
ty had not proceeded from the King of
France or his Ministers, but from the
Chamber Of Deputies. Whilst these
exertions are making by the French
Government, the policy Of this Cow
ernment is to strengthen .hem--to Sc
cond ,hem--and, above all, 10 do no.
thing to impair the force Of them.
The refusal of one branch of a Gov
eminent, i, is true (says the report to
execute a Treaty may be regarded as
the refusal Of the whole Government ;
but when the head of the Government
evinces the earnestness which has been
shewn in this case by the political head
Of the French Government, such a con.
clusion ought not to be hastily drawn.
Upon the whole, the Committee are OF
opinion that the time has not yet arriv.
ed when Congress is called upon to 60
into the consideration of the very seri.
GUS question, whether they will enter
into any measure for the purpose Of ia.
king into their own hands redress for
wrongs by France. The Committee
are Of opinion that Congress ought to
avoid any resort to war, or TO measures
which may lead to it, and rather wait
to see the result of the exertions which
the French King is undoubtedly max
ing to carry the Treaty into full effect.
We have not finished our account of
this Report, but we have followed it
out ia, enough to disclose 10 the reader
its general character, being prevented
by the lateness Of the hour from adding
more.
