PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 11. FROM COR RESPONDENTS, The French Minister fays, the cause of France is the cai'.fe of America. Then we Americans make free to tell them, they use our cause very ill. They dis grace it by their cruelties—they endanger it by their extravagant wildnefs. . But the cause of France is not the cause of America. It is a filly party flourifh to make our people favor a war. America grounded her cause on reafon—{he did not stain it with the blood of vifiims wantonly flied, judicially mocking justice with her own forms. If is true, the more natious with free orderly mild governments, the better i-ven if France ftiould trifle away or drown her liberty in blood, we know how to 'make a better use of our own. A man just arrived from the Moon, thinks the present session of Congress will be very short, as sundry combinations as suming the names of Republican, Demo cratic, the people, &c. &c. render the Representative body unnecessary—in fact it would be imperium in imperio. It has been urged as an abatement of the salutary effects arising from the opera tion of the general government, and draw ing more closely the bands of union be tween the states, that the natural courfeof human events in comunftion with the en terprizing spirit of our citizens, would have produced the present flourilhing situ ation of our country —so that too much is ascribed to the agency of government. Without recurring to the state of affairs previous to the adoption of the new con flitution j it is fufficient to every patriotic purpose, that those who are not disposed to credit the adminiltration as the instru ments of our public prosperity, yet ac knowledge the fact. Whatever the cause, such being the cafe, let all unite to pre serve the blessings we enjoy, and not wan -Ber into wilds of fancy aud theory, in search of precarious advantages, left we let go a " ccrtainty for an uncertpinty" or by " grasping the Shadow, lose the Sub stance." CONGRESS House of Reprefentat 'tves. January 24. In committee of the whole on Mr. MaJifon's refolutioni. Mr. Tracy's speech continued. It is said the British government has broken the laws of nations, by the inter ruption of our trade to France : The fa£l is, Great-Britain has said France is in liege, oj is blockaded, France has laid the fame. Upon this statement, what is the law of nations ? That neutral veflels (hall not have intercourse with luch blockaded or besieged place. The facts are, the En glish have taken the cargoes of our vessels, Jfefafes [Whole No. 510.] under these circumstances, and in every instance paid the value of the cargo, at the port of destination ; the French have taken all our cargoe« bound to any port of their enemies, and have directed, that a committee of appraisal Jhall be appoiut ed, to appraise, and pay for them. And in all instances of wanton treat ment, spoliation, or making our veflels prizes, the Britifli Government have made the moll ample promises of redress, con tained in our Miniftcr's official informa tion. This is a situation, which I ac knowledge is an evil, but ought not a neutral nation to expetl some evils of the kind, especially when we conne& with it, the almost unavoidable imprudences, and I may add, cHmcs of our own people, in violating the stria line of duty, which must be, and always is marked out, for neutral nations ? State it in its worst point of light, and negociation and remonftrancc, (hould precede any decilive governmental act. If our trade is flourifhing, and under no reftriftions by the English, more than she imposes on other nations, where is the ground of revenge, against Great Bri tain ? And more especially, when the fa£t is inconteftible, that we have more favor, in our trade wirh her, than is extended to any nation, But fuffer me to alk, why treaty ii made the basis of difcriminatioft ? I can hitherto find no man, merchant, or other can slate any benefits which we (hould gain by a treaty. In all treaties the strongest nation will always make its own conftruftion ; and the weakest nation may hate the benefit of right, but wanting strength to enforce that right, its voice is not heard in explanation of treaty.— Our commercial situation presents itfelf to us in so much infancy, the eventi of a month may produce such surprizing ad vances, as has been stated by a gentleman from MafTachufetts, (Mr. Dexter,) that a treaty of good appearances now, may speedily be an evil. Betides, a treaty con nects us with European policy, and I feel a strong desire to abftraft the United States fiom all participation with the la byrinth of European policy. What has been the advantage of ou« treaties alrea dy formed ? That with I con clude will be cited as the best. Regenerated France, has told us, that their government when this treaty was made, had no good intentions to the U nited States, or at least, no views of re ciprocating benefits fairly : I suppose the meaning of this is, that in making the treaty the government of France confut ed her own interest, and paid not much attention to outs, yet this treaty was at firft highly applauded ; but let it be tested by the benefits a&ually received. In con sidering it in point of adtual benefits, I should be glad to find them and dwell up on them, without bringing into view,the harm it has done us : but no benefits ex ist. Does the treaty protest onr proper ty in seeking its markets, where neutral nations have undoubted rights, any more than the law of nations ? England has vi olated the latter, and France the former. I lay out of the question, the group of evils, which seemed to result from this treaty the lad summer, the evident dan ger of a war, prevented only by the con duit of an unparalelled executive, and many other disadvantages of this treaty, becaufethe unexampled tituation of France may have produced many consequences, which will not form general ground of ar gument, and because those fubjecU have been very fairly stated by a gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Lee.) One trait, and that which was consi dered as the best in this treaty, was this, all property was to follow the bottom in which it .was found. Friendly bottoms made friendly eargo, and an enemy's bot tom, made prize of the cargo. The law of nations is, to discriminate always, so ai to mak prize of enemy's properly, find it where you may.
