PHQCION—No. XV. |
IN the preceding numbers i r . has been faticfafto- I
rily shewn, that Mr. Jefferfon, while Secretary of j
State, countenanced the intrigues of Genet, till i
they had proceeded to such lengths as to rouse the t
people_ to support the President, and to csmpel the
secretary to unite with the reft of the adminiftrati- i
on in demanding his recall. I
This has been substantiated by various corrobora- t
ting circumstances, and direst proofs. S.' (
Ift By the publications in the National Ga- c
■ette, by a clerk of Mr. feffetfon, reprobating the i
President's conduct, and exhorting Genet to perse- \
'■vere in llis opposition, far months after Mr. JefFer- ~ e
son knew that Genet was refiftiog the government.
2d By the which prevented the re- .
call of Genet, from the time of his firft open aft j
against the government, till the 16th August, and r
which could only have arisen from Mr. Jefferfon's
opposition in the cabinet to that measure. r
3d. His advice to eonvoke congress, a measure a
urgently demanded by Genet, and bis opposition to m
the iffuiig the proclamation of neutrality. {
4th. The writings of Htbidius again II that pro- p
clamation, composed by a confidential friend of his, /,
and qu"ted by Genet, as authority on his fide. , 1;
sth. Genet's charging him Vvith defeSion, after }
having profefled to be his friend, and initiated him r
into myjleries, which had inflamed his hatred against r
, the government, and aecufing him of having two si
languages, one confidential the other official. 0
6thl His being an enthujiafik admirer of the Cl
-I"reneh cause. 0
7th. His beirfg recommended and pointed out by f (
Cit.zcn Fauchet, in his intercepted letter, as the tl
man wham the Patriots had fixed on as President, i (
{hewing that Jefferfon was considered by Fauchet, _
as a friend to Genet's intrigues, notwithstanding ct
his official letter! r ,
We shall new proceed to notice some other fea
tures of Mr. Jeffcifon's violent aversion to the roea-
Alresof the federal government, which will still fur
ther prove his participation in the views of the Na- ?'
tional Gazette. iti
The friends and advocates of Mr. Jefferfon have
made no scruple to boafl of his abhorrence of the
leading principles of the adminifl ration of the finances
of the United States ; and the National Gazette, one rt
■Vis the maiii objeAs of which was te abuse that ad- m
mimftiation, in confornsity to that abhorrence, went
so far in one of the numbeis, as to urge the rnctjji. ?
~ly of a revolt. 4 n, in order to overthrow the whole
system of public credit. */
. ,Tbe leading principles of our fifcal adminiftrati- C 3
on were, that the public debt ought to be provided
far, in saver of thpfe, who, according to thcexprefs
terms of the cantraft, were the true legal proprie
tors of it ; that it ought to be provided for, inoiher
refpcifts, according to the terms of the contrast, m
except so far as deviations f.om it fho'uld be a/Ten- P c
ted to by the creditors, upon the condition of a fair' &
equivalent, that it oug.ht to be funded upon afcer- P a
tained revenues, pledged for the payment of inte- irr
. #•(!, and the gradual redemption of principal, that ct)
the debts of the feveial Rates ought to be compri-
led in the provision, on the fame terms with that of v "
the United States, that to render this great opera- te
tion practicable, aveid the oppreflion of trade and
indullry. and facilitate loans to the government,' in
cases ot, emergency, it was necessary to inftitut'e a P l,
rational indijefl taxes were in the aflu- co
al citcumftanccs of the oonntry, the most tligihle , aS
rtieapsof revenpe, and that dite<9 taxes ought to be ° c
avoided as much, and'as long as poflible. tu 1
How, I aver from comperent opportunities, of au
know ing Mr. jefferfon's ideas, that he has been tk
cidedly hofiile to all these pofi'ions, except perhaps wc
the last, and thai, even in regard to that, his max- m 8
ims would .oblige the government in practice spec- rel
diiy to tefort to diredl taxes, > a t
1 aver morro-rer, that his opposition to the adrni- wc
niftration of the government has not been confined an<
to the measures conseftcd with the Treasury De- ? r
partnv. Nt, but has cxrended to almost all the impor-
lint mcafuies ft the governmeßt. , M
It Mr. Jed 1 Ton's opposition to the measures
which are scfloeaed with the admi ß iftration cf the the
, national finanrri had ceased, when those measures
had received the f»nsion of haw, nothing more
• could have been said, than, that he had trarrfg.ef
fed the rales ef official decorum, in entering the
lifts against the head of another department (be
, tween whom and himfelf, there was a reciprocal
duty ta cultivate harmony) that he had beta culpa
ble in pursuing a line of conduct, which wascaleu
lated to sow the feeds of discord in the executive
branch of the government in the infancy of its e»-
s ' ijlence.
But when his opposition extended beyond that
v point, when it was apparent, that he withed to
render ediout and of course to fubntrl (for in a po
pular government these are eonvertible terms) all
rhofe deliberate and solemn a&s of the legislature,
which had become the pillars of the public credit,
his conriudt deserved to be regarded with a still se
verer eye.
What differences of opinion may have preceded
those exceptionable particular sea-<
turcs in them may have appeared to certain cha
rafters, there is no enlightened nor discreet citizen
but must agref, that they ought when clothed with
the fanftion of the law to remain undijlurbed. To
set afloat the funding system, after she faith as the 1
nation bid been so deliberately and solemnly pledged '
to it—after such numerous and extensive alienations 1
of property for full value had been even made un '
- der its fan&ion—with adequate revenues, little '
burthenfotne to the people—in a time of profound '
peace—with not even the Jhadow of a»y public
* necejjity—on no better graund than that of theorem '
tical and paradoxical dogmas—would have been '
one of the most wanton and flagitious eSs, that c
ever flained the annals of a civilized nation. '
Yet positions tending to that difgiaceful result r
were maintained in public discourses, by individuals, }
known to be devoted to the then secretary of state,
and were privately smiled upon, as profound disco- 1
veries in political science. F
Yet the 1 rf» discreet, though not lead important 1
' parthans of that officer, spake familiarly of undoing '
the funding fyfl-.m, as a meritorious work : Yet bis
gazette ( which may fairly be regarded as the mirror r
of his views) after having labored for months to i 1
make it an object of public deteftstion, told us at 1!
■ length, in plain and triumphant terms, that " the
f funding system had had its day and very clearly,
1 if not expressly, that it was the objeS oj the party
t ta overthrow it*."
e It may be justly then, and from fuffiiient data,
- inferred, that Mr. Jefferfon's politics, wiile secre
tary of date, tend to national disunion, injgnijicance, >•
- disorder and discredit. That the fubverion of the
finding system would have produced mtional dif- a
• credit, proves itfelf. Loss of credit, the -eafon be- b
: ing the fame, mud attend natianj, as wallas indi- C(
• vidualj, who voluntarily and without nec:ffity, vi- 0
- 'date their formal and positive engagements f,
Injignificancc and disorder, as applied tccpmmu- w
- nities, equally with individuals, are the natural off it
t spring of a loss of Credit, premeditately and Wunta- g
1 rily incurred.
» Dlswrnaw would not long lag behind. Sober- r(
minded and virhwus men, in every Rate, wotid lose k
: all confidence in, and all refpeft for a govenment, tl
J which had betrayed so much levity and inainfiftl
ency, It) pref.igate a disregard to the rights of pro- *

TREATY of ALLIANCE, fr

THE Executive Directory of the French repub- tr

; nimated by a desire to strengthen tbe ties of friend- o:
fbip-and good under ft a riding happily re-eftab!iftied it
between France and Spain, by the treaty of peace tc
concluded at Basle, on the 4th Thermidor, 3d year e(
of the republic, (z 2d July, 1795) have resolved to
form a treaty of alliance offensive and defeufive, for 'ft
whatever may concern the advantages and the com- te
mon defence of the two nations ; and they have char- tl
• ged with thi6, negotiation, and given their full pow
ers as follow : (Citizen Perignon for the French Di- p(
reflory, and the Prince of Peace for the Spanish in
■ king): wlw after communication and exchange of ar
, their refpeftive full powers, agree on the following ol
. articles th
Article I. There (hall exist, in perpetuity, an cc

. republic and his Catholic Majesty the king of Spain.
11. The two contrasting powers (ball mutually w
guarantee, without any exception or reserve, in the ar
most authentic and absolute manner, all the states, th

er attacked, which (hall use the said fortes, wheth'ei
by combining them, orcairfmg them to aft fri -ante
ly, and that according to a plan concerted between
them.
_ XIL The succours (lipulated by the pr-cenur
, articles, lliall be fuN.ifhed in all wars which the con
tracing parties may have to sustain, as well as in
those where the party required (hall not be direct'v
interested, and (hall ad only as a fi tuple mxiliarv,

separately or united They equally oblige them-,
selves in the cases defenbed in the present article
F> not to treat for peace but with common accord, and

XIV. In the cafe where one of the powers shall
aft only as an auxiliary, the powerwhich ihall find
J ltfelffinglv attacked, may treat so peace feparatelv,
but in such a manner as that no prejudice (hall re'
fult to the auxiliary power, and which it shall even
turn as much as (hall be poflible to its direst advan
" tage. For this purpose it shall be made known to
the auxiliary power the mode and time agreed up
on for the opening and Conchrfton of negotiations!
XV. There (hall be immediately concluded a
e treaty of commerce upon an equitable footing ami 1
c reciprocally advantageous to the two people, which
(hall ensure to each of them, with their ally, a
marked preference /or the produce of their foil and
manufactures, or at least advantages equal to those
which the meft favoured nations enjoy in their ref
peftive lfates. The two powers engage to make,
< from the present time, a common cauie, to repress
and annihilate the maxims adopted by any coun
- try whatever, which may be fubveriive of their pre
- sent principles, and which may endanger the fafety
- of the neutral flag, and the refpeft which is due to
i it, as well as to raise and re-eftabli(h the colonial fyf
; tern of Spain on the footing on which it has fubfilh
r ed, or ought to subsist, conformably to treaties.
j XVI. The character and jurifdiftion of the con
r "fills (hall beat the fame time recognized and regula
. ted by a particular convention. Those anterior to V
. the present treaty (hall be provisionally executed.
XVII. To avoid every dispute between the two
powers, they (hall be bound to employ themfclves
i immediately and without delay in the explanation
f and develovement of the 7th article of the treaty v
; of Bade, concerning the fronaiers, conformable to
the inftruftions, plans, and memoirs, which (hall be

XVIII. England being the only power aeainft
■ which Spain has direst grievances, the prefem alli
ance (hall not be executed unless against her during
