WE are deputed by and have the

th'e Republicans of this Metropolis.
Informed of your ariival in. our
country, we have been long earnelt
ly \i i{hing to receive yon us the Re
prefeiitative of a nation Wruggling
in the glorious cause of freedom and
humanity—of a nation animated by
sentiments ton congenial with our
own, not to excite the warmelt sym
pathy of friendfhip and exultation.
It is true «e feel the diftrelfes of
♦ur country 1 ; we lament the blood
<>f patriot heroes, and -the misery
entailed on the innocent by the o)v.
ftinacy of pride and the cruelty of
ambition—But liberty is too invalu
able not to be purchased at any
price ; and we are not to damp the
joy itifpired on this occasion by re
calling to the mind, what our own
liber - ies have cost us,or the immense
facrifiees made by your countrymen
on the alter of fieedom.
We confidently trust, that under
the guidance of a benign although
unseen arm, the political circum
(lances of mankind are rapidly me
liorating and improving. That the
Repnblic qf France is made a mod
diftinguifiied instrument in this
great, this godlike wotk, and we
fhoiild do violence to our feelings
were we not to seize an occasion
like the present to manifeft to the
world, how much we are inrerefted
in the dawn of universal happinels,
in the triumph of liberty, and its
certain confequenre the peace and
profperitv of nations.
Thro* the timely aid' of France,
these United States have been bro'c
to the full enjoyment of the Med
iums of civil liberty The services
of your countrymen in the hour of
our distress, were eff'efrtial,arid were
chearfolly rendered, and though
despots may absurdly claim the me
rit of them, we know better t«

Heady friends you will ever find in V

be, that the liberty of both coon
tries may remain incorruptible and
immortal ; that ths world may lee
in their example and felicity the
: path of .foci a I improvement and the
iiieltiraable prize of virtuous exer-
lions.
Permit us, worthy citizen, to ex
press to yon our liij*b efleein for
your perfort and character, our fin
cereft wishes in general for your
peifonal happiness and profpeiiiy,
And in particular, that you may
long fulfil ihe duties of your exalt
ed (tation so as to merit the appro
bation of your ovjn heart and to )e
---cure the plaudit of your conltitn

CITIZEN GENET,
Minister Plenipotentiary of the
Freuch Republic,
To the R f ruBUCA ns oj Nc-w-York.
FROM the firft moment of my ar
rival on this continent, Iwifhedfor
an opportunity to pay a vifii to our
Republican bieth*r<eu of New Yoik:
and greet them with the embrace of
ft atonal affection. Important and
urgent bnfjtiefs has pi evented : me
from executing sooner this my fa
vorite defigti ; but it now fills me
with the gieateft joy that 1 am at
last enabled to find niyfelf in i)ie
mid it of \ ou. . &.M
Youraddrels, fraught with' the
moll genuine principles of Repußli
canifui, and with that lively sensibi
lity which kindred feelings only
can excite in the citizens of one na
tion towards thole of another, has
filled my heart with the tendered
emotions and with fenfatious too
strong for utterance.
1 (hall trail fin it to my countrymen
these generous effufions as your
ft ienchhip, and let me allure you
that every fentimenr that it con
tains will meet on their part with
the moll cordial reciprocity.
On this joyful occasion, recollec
tion ought iiot indeed to be tortur
ed with the remembraftce of past
ftifFerings, but a Frenchman, at this
critical juncture, cannot help ani
mating his hopes with the example
of the long and severe trials of the
citizens of New-York, and of their
glorious triumphs.
May you enjoy long, very lotrg
the precious fruits of that triumph ;
may the peace, the glory, and the
Independence of the United States,
la It as long as the foil on which you
tread. These are not only my in
dividual wilhes, but they are also
the wishes of the country I have
the honor to represent, and she has
exprefled them to you in the molt
Unequivocal manner.

cle of your prosperity, and calling
on you to partake of all Ihe riches
«» her commerce, to involving you
with her in a conin>on danger. Still
(lie has not ceased relying on your
friendship, and oil all the aids which
you yourselves might think in your
ppwer to afford. Still (he experts
from you a faithful and a punctual
otifervance of thole treaties which
ffie has entered into wish you in
the hour of your dangeri, and of
w'hfch she has fulfilled her part in a
manner worthy <> f lierfelf.
In this .refpert, 1 cannot interpret
otherwise that you have done the
declaration of yotir government,
'fihey tnuft know that the ftritft per
fbrmance of treaties is'the belt and
policy, they nioft know that
good faith alone, can insure refpec
tibility to a nation ; that a pufflla
iijmous conduct provokes info'lence,
and; brings upon a country, thole
vpry dangers which it weakly means
to avert.
There is indeed but too much
reason to fear that you are involved
in the general conspiracy of tyrants
againfi liberty. They never will,
they never can forgive yoo,ft»r'hav
ijig be*n the firft to proclaim the
rights of ftian. Bur you will force
them to irefpert yon, by purfuihg
\*ith fi.imnefs the only path which
»> confillent with your national ho
nor and dignity.
The cause of France is the cause
of all mankind, and no nation is
vnore deeply interefled than you are
in its success. Whatever fate a
waits her- you are ultimately to
(hire. But the cause of liberty is
great and it shall prevail.
And if Prance under a despotic
yoke has been able Co •fuccelsfuily
f to iillert your rights, they can never
again be endangered while she is at
liberty, to exert in your support,
that powerful arm which now defies
the combined efforts of a whole
woi Id.
Accept my moll grateful thanks,
for your kind wishes for my perfon
»l happiness. May France, may
America, may the citizens of New-
York, be happy, and your wish shall
be fulfilled. ' GENET.

Citizen Jfitard has denounced Mr.
Pitt to the French Convention, as
the Colleague of the pert'ons who
create difjnites in the galleries there.
He is nor exartly fine, that Mr. Pitt
has been in Paris incog, r® promote
the business, but he knows that the
Bgitateiirs ate hired by him. The
next accounts will certainly relate,
that the Convention have ordered
Mr. Pitt into arrest !

ever, thought fn likely to be ailed

and Citizen lfnard fat (T<ywn"amidft
the applaafes of the Afleritbly.
Some Engti(h gentlemen, lately
arrived from France, report, that
there is a general diftnclinption in
the people of that country to fuf
fering foreign powers 10 interfere
in the formation of their govern
ment ; but leaving them to this li
berty, that there is every a-ppear-'
a nee of anxiety for peace ; that as
the Eriglifh ministry appeared to
them the principal authors of the
war, an appeal had been drawn up
to the English people, expreflive of
a desire of peace, which the gentle*
men refufed taking over, for fear
it might give offence to government.
The India company have clofcd.
with the offer of the proprietors of.
their own ltock, for an addition of
one million to their capital, by way
of loan. The fubferi prion is taken
at 200 per cent, which, will furni/h
2,c00,0001. in ready money, and
lea"e the fubferibers a bonus of
from 610 7 per cent. This is little
more than half ihp profit which
Mr. Pitt's loan afforded, and yet we
do not hear that there wasany com;
petition. But Co good a thing as
the minister's loan, for the life and
fortune, more cannot be expe^ed
