Our relations with France have gen.
rally been of such friendly nature
from the founding Of the nation until
the present day that most people have
forgotten that we were ever at war
with her. But we were, from the
spring of 1898 to September, 1900.
James Monroe was minister to
France in 1895 when the Directory
which had succeeded to the "Terror of
Robespierre" Informed him that the
treaty of 1779 between France and the
United States was at an end because
America had signed the treaty with
England known as Jays treaty. Mr..
Monroe replied that the treaty of ITS
mad already been brought to nothing
by the constant capture of American
ships by French men of war. France,
under the Terror, had regarded the
rest Of the world in the same light as
the Russian bolshevists do now. Amer
lean merchant ships were captured and
condemned and sold.
Mr.. Monroe was too plant; he was
recalled, and Charles Cotesworth
Pinckney was sent over in his place.
The Directory from purely selfish mo-
tives continued the policy of claiming
exemption from international law
which the Terror had begun In the
name of liberty. The French govern
ment would not receive Pinckney and
ordered him out of the country. Presi-
dent Adams called a special session of
congress and recommended the prompt
formation of navy and the permits
sion for merchant ships to arm them
selves.
Extra ENJOYS Named.
Pinckney was in Holland. The pres
ident appointed Elbridge Gerry and
John Marshall as extra ENJOYS to join
Pinckney, to go to Paris and negoti-
ate. On reaching Paris the commits
rIoners found that Talleyrand was min
lister of foreign affairs. Talleyrand
sent go-betweens to the commissioners
telling them that before the Directory
would negotiate they must pay bribe
,,f S250.O0O. The bride was to be d.
yided among all the directors except
one who it was explained, was already
making enough money by his rake-off
on the condemnation Of American
sbips. And there was another little
matter: the United States must make
a loan to the French government of
s2,SoO,O0O. These matters being agreed
to the American claims for damages
would be submitted to arbitration pro-
vided America would advance money
to pay any damages assessed against
