PHOCION—No. XIV.
IT will not now be denied, by any person ac
quainted with the state of pDblic affair* at the a
larming crisis io the summer of 1793, of which we
, have been fpeakmg, that Mr. Jcfterfon wr.B averse
to the President's ifTuing his proclamation of neu
trality, and that he.advised the calling together of
congress, deeming the proclamation a step too im
portant tn reft on t-he Prefident'i bare authority.—
. Whether this advice proceeded from "a secret with to
involve us in tvar, or from a conßitutional timidity,
is immaterial to the present queltion : certiin it ife
1 that such a ttcj) would have been fatal to the peace
and tranquility of America : certain it is, that Ge
net, and all the Jacobins of the country, and all
the democratic focietiej, were exttesnely anxious
sos such a step: and while they rested all their hopes
of war on the meeting of congress, there was no man,
' who valued the welfare of this country, who did
not then shudder at the idea of such a calamity.—
For had congress been convened in Philadelphia in
the summer of 1793, bringing together all the pas
sions which had been artfully excited ia various
partsof the Union, finding a mass of pafiions ready
prepared in the metropolis, operated #n by all the
wiles and intrigues of Genet, and the mancsuvres
of the democratic foeiety, congress would, malt un
t doubtedly, have been driven to some intemperate
aft, of which war would have been the immediate
1 consequence.
' If it was so difficult to restrain a parly in congress
( from carrying hojlile measures in the winter follow
ing*, when ihe passions had confidetably abated,
when the pnblic mind had manifefted a marked wifii
for neutrality, and when Genet's influence was al
most fruftrated, how imjjoffible would it have b:l£
to have refilled them, in the midst of thelc agita- 1
tions, which convislfed the whole nation, in
summer of '93, in the midlt of those political trm
pelts and whirlwinds which were then directed by
Genet ? The few rational and moderate lovers of
peace, instead of being listened to with that atten
tion which their opinions afterwards excited, would
have been silenced by the overwhelming acclama
tions of a faftttioas entkujiafm, and swept away from '
- their ground by the itrefi/)ij>lc torrent of exafpera- '
f ted passions. '
We-ll might Genet wish for the calling of cod-j ]
igrefs,* when he found that he could not mould the-: 1
executive to his views : well might he rave and
threaten, when he found the advice of the secretary
of state, on which he had depended, over-ruled in 1
the council, by the difcrction of the two other fe- :
eretaries, and by the wifclom and firmnefs of the !
Piefident! '
ihe letters which Mr. Jefferfon afterwards wroft t
to Genet and to Mr. Morris, and which have been ]
quoted by his friends as evidences of his opposition
to Genet's intrigues, prove only, that Mr. JefFerfon '
pofTe'Fed political sagacity enough to forefee, that '
had he, after the public fentimcnt was fixed, per- ®
lifted in encouraging Genet, he would, like his less 1
cunning fucccffor, have been difgracefuliy JifiT.rffed 5
from office, and, like htm, rutned in the public ef- !
timation : for, like the friends of the iiifun eftion .
when they saw the government strongest, he there- j
fore made an ostentatious display of " his leal t» '
maintain our independence and fclf-goveru|tient."
It is evident, that Genet considered this conduct as
a defedion'from his eaufe ; for in his letter, referred
to iu the note, be complains bitterly of Mr. Jeffer
fon's treachery and abandonment. He tifcs, in
that letter, these remarkable expressions : '• Bcfides
fir, whatever may be the refnlt of the *tckimment
of which you have rendered yourfclf the generous
inflrument, after having mass me BtLtEvt that
row wbre mt ritEND, after having initiated m: \
into mysteries which have inflamed my ha '
TRED against all those who aspire to an absolute '
POWER, there is an aft of jtiftice," Sic. page jo. '
Here Genet complams of, jefferfon's treache- !
roufly becoming the inltrument of his recall, after
having per Wed him that he was his friend, and '
initiated him into myferies of state, which had in- '
fkienced Genet's hatred against the President, ant! J
the reft of the adminillration ; in fact, after having
caballed w,th this foreign agent, ?nd by calumnies
against the executive, inflamed him to hatred arid
excited him to resistance. Again, page 73, Ge
«et lays to him, in the language of rep.'jach, " If
L have fhevsn fnmnefs (in opposing the President)
it is, became it was not in my chara3cr to fpeai as
many people de, 111 one -way, and att in another, to
an language, and a language con-
HDKNTtAL." 0
Nothing further is necessary to prove, beyond a
doubt, the improper encouragement which the se
cretary of ft..te bad given to Genet to refill the
Ptefident 3 authority ; were any further proof re
<jmr,te we might refer to the writings ot Uelvi-.

? the government of the country, from the begin
ning of June to the middle of Aug lift, but to the
powerful ftippurt which that agent found, even In
the department, where his conduit was molt noto
rious, and against which his attacks had been the
c " molt outrageous ?
a When finally the meaTure of recall was agreed
ve upon, and the fecrctary of 3ate was at no loss fur
' e materials, on which to predicate it, when the Prefi
u" dent's opinion, as well as that of the public, be
came too i.npofingto admit of further hesitation,
n " then the fecrctary, to whom the talent of epistolary
- composition is not denied, produced an ab.e ietUr,
to in which he endeavored to make atonement by ele-
T> gance ;ind energy of (tile for his pit'vious mifcon
dudt apd oppclition.
:c 1 shall conclude this number with the following
f " remarks; id. Thecircumitance of Mr. jefFerfon's
being an enlhujiaflit admirer of the French cause
** (as Hampden delcribes him to be) is far from re
es commending him," in the judgment of all real A
"> mericans, to the prtrfidency. The President of the
d United States ought to bc~jm enthufiaflic admirer of
- no cause, but that of his own country; enthusiasm,
in in a politician, is closely allied to error and pa//ion,
f* both of which are the bane «t good government :
ls but enthusiasm for a foreign country leads dire Sly
y to subservience and- devotion to foreign interejls :
ie a chief magistrate, tntba/iajiicelly attached toFrance,
:t will therefore soon become a devoted tool ef France
>• 2dly. 1 cannot discern the merit of Mr. Jeffer
e sow, of having, as Hampden exprefTes it, forborne
:e to faenjice the independence and ftlfgovernment of
hi& own country even to the glorious cause of
fs France; what attachment mult that man have to
r- his own conntry who could, for a moment, consider
1, thu, as meritorious ? Were the fact as Hated
!i (which I deny, and the contrary of which I have
I- proved) I (hould never be induced to view, as rqe
£ ritorious, the mere forbearance to be a traitor to
i one's country, by Sacrificing its independence and
fclf-gove i ament to the views of-»

j MR. t^KNNO,
THERE is lomething so very extraordinary in
Q thc fubflance of the communication of Citizen A
det, in the mode by which it is notified to the pub
lic, and the particular junflure of doing it, that it
mult exoite no less alarm, than enquiry into the cau
e; fes which have led to it.
The principle laid down by Citizen Adet as the
bsfisof the late decree, is neither wai/nnted by the
I ulage of nations nor the laws of neut/ility, k would
' annul all treaties, as soon as either of the contrac
e ' ting paities found it convenient, for he eftablilhes it
as a principle, " that a nation at war is not bound
t " to observe 3 treaty, whenever that treaty tends to
;1 " her detriment, by being advangeout to her ene-
" my " What use is there in a tieaty if either of
the contrasting parties may break it, as soon as
t they find it injurious ? Was not the article of the
treaty, to which the decree alludes, made with a
view to a w,ir between France and some other na
j tiojuJis United States remaining neutral ? Did got
i'rance know when (he agreed to that article, that,
1 h 'he law of nations, French property would be li
able to feizute in American bottoms i Was not the 1
law of nations so dated to be by Vattel, a writer
, of high authority in France ? Did not France then
_ make the (tipulation with iu>, in contemplation of that 1
j inconvenience, of which (he now complains, with the
expectation of being compensated for it bf the ad- '
n vantage she would derive from the operation of
othei parts of the treaty ? What pretence then can '
• file have now tor complaint, when the United
s States have pursued the law of nations, the '
law cf neutrality and the treaty ? None whatever. 1
France may, for a time, avail herfelf of superior
force to moit'ft us, but her condudt towards us malt 1
be condemned by every impartial tribunal.—The 1
mode of announcing the communication is no less '
remarkable than the eommunicatien itfelf : an of- 1
