7,7 th• Printer of the Gazette of the United States. Sir, Miii'tcr Adet fays—" The flag of the French republic will treat the flag of neutrals, 'in the fame ml n»er aathey shall fuffer it to be treated by the £ ; iglilh —He maintains that France is juftilied in taking American veflels to prevent the Briti(h from profiting by taking them.—Now, according to the rules of this diplomatic logic, England ought also to take our vtffela to prevent their falling into the hands of the French, who may profit by their capture, to the detriment of the British, who might urge, in citizen Adet's own language,— •' the flag of the Briii/b nation will treat the flag of neutrals in ihe fame manner as they shall iuffer it to be treated by the Frineh." If the fame argument can possibly jaftify the French m-nite inftnnce, it will, on the fame princi-' pic, jnfiify 'he Britijh.— But, when the British take Amciican vcflels, and the capture is illegal, there is an appeal from their court of admiralty to com iriiffioncis, delegated by both parties, to arbitrate and determine upon the terms of indemnification. —But, what appeal, what mode of redrsfs—let me a fit, have we from the arbitrary and illegal cap tures of the French, if minister Adet'a memorial is to be ftri&ly adhered to ? If these questions cannot be answered in favor of th' French, what rauft every man in his sober senses thidk of the modejl^of a diplomatic appeal to the people of America, through the medium of a netuf paper? » Fellow-citizens !—is this calculated, do you ihink, to excite your friendjhip, or your indigna tion ? Those who begin to blush at it, now endea vor to apologize it away, by hinting that it is only an (kctiorteering manauvre ; but sooner would I be lieve that Dumourier (who is fafd to be in this country)—or that the your.g duke of ©rleans (who lately arrived at Philadelphia) had brought over minister Adet's letter along with his own pnffport / from the French directory, than attribute the publi cation of it to any such unminifter-like and inter meddling motive with the governmental affairs of our country.
