MK. Fekno,
IN yottr paper of jrefltrrfajr I read this fentcree
in a piece signed a Ftdcraliji :
" Here we might offer exculpatory remarks eon
" cerninjf the d'tspofitions, which a concurrence t>f
[ S . " circumjlatuei like these might nattirallv excite in the
' " bosom of Secretary Jcjferfan ; perhaps we might
" fully eflablifh his mfhit on the »ccafion."
Tllo' this very ft tidied fentencc k ait Fully couch
lg' a ' ed in the Ftmbiguous, cautions, and appYopriati lan.
vill, ytiajre of the writer, enough is said to discover a
orfe timid willingness to becomc the apokgift of Mr.
Jefferfon, and to vindicate hisconjudl, in reference
to Genet's intrigues. That this is the drfign of
the writer is explained by his introdueiirtr the l'ro
'1" clamation nf the king'of England against France,
|K i s and the order yf 6IJ» November, agaihft our tom
mercc, inimedittely previous li> his remark, which
he begins with " Here we mi;;ht octet," &c. rsft
injftli t cxctilpstion o( Mr. jefferfon on those fafls.
Why does not this writer come boldly out and vin
infj dicate hie favorite ? The public would be inftrtift- I
ed by his exculpatory remarks, and delighted at 1
the fame time with the ingenuity of a writer ca- 1
nth pabie of juttifying the condudt of Mr. Jefferfon in '
July, 1792, by a proclamation and an order, not J
' iffned 'till the OP.oler and November following—Let
him be plain and explicit, and if he can prove to <
sat the public fatisfaftion that any aft of a foreign gov- '
J ernment, however hostile towards us, can juftify <
our Secretary of State in furremdering to a foreign !
, agent our felf government and independence, then '
an- it will be acknowledged, to borrow the exprcfiions
of the writer, that the opponents of Mr. Jeffer- 1
" son have unconsciously fleepefl their pens in the r
" acidulated gill of felt-deceiving prejudice." F
This writer affects to speak well of Mr. Pinclnry,
See. who is underfiood, he tells us, to be set up by the F
friends of Mr. /tdams ; and that no objeflions have /
been made to him by the aiitifederal and jacobin par-
ty ; for very good reasons, because they dare not ?
make any objedt ions to that virtuous anddiflinguijh- '
ed citizen ; it is trne that the friends of order aud 1
good government and its government have set up n
Mr. Pinckney with Mr. Adams and that the friends P
of Jefferfon can fay nothing againll him : but does 11
1 not this writer, who is in the secrets of the other c
party, know that they don't intend to vote for
tg, . him, thnt their trtket is JiJJerson and Burr, and ''

THE Minifterof tfce French Republic, in his "
late communication to our Secretary of State, has _
y declared that France means to consider hcrfelf as to •'
us, in the fame situation as in the year 1793. He pl
of intimates the discontent of the French nation at the I?
le eonduft of our government, for not having been Ul
lufficiently friendly, and there are people, calling
themselves Americans, who are ever ready to re-echo

/[ r MANY other specimens might be furnifhed of
3C e the partial complexion of Mr. Jefferfon's cc/mmer
of rial report : a few of them, in addition to the t.:£ls
ro _ already slated', will more than fuffire to (hew that
ce, '* e gratification of certain anti-national prejudices i
, m _ was more an object with that Work than the pro
[t-b motion of our national prefperity.
• ft. The firft. ctrcumllarice which strikes us, in read
}s. ing the introductory letter to the speaker of the
in- reprefentativos on transmitting the report, is the
ft. bringing tip the report only to the trmc, when
a t tilings, as the reporter fays, were in their fettled
ca - order, that is the summer cf 1792, (when the
in monarchy of France terminated), and yet, in the
10 t fame letter, informing the reprefrntatives that
France had proposed to enter into a ne*U treaty of
to commerce witisthe United >States r on liberal ,
iv- »-nd had, in the me.in time, relaxed femp of her
[fy commercial restraints ; nil of which fufls were sv b- i
rr n SEQUENT to the period at which he hdcl os s d hit ]
en report. ,
m Now, as he had fixed upon a ceitaln period, at
. r . which it was proper to cli>fe his report, for the 1
(, e reason he had afligned, namely, becaufc it was ims
poflible to dtferibe all'the changes which the war t
,y t had occasioned, aud because the report was pro- r
) Je perly adapted to a time, when things were in their j:
vc Jetthd order, he certainly ought rro: 10 have intro- i
r _ duced the commercial measures of France, jultt« t]
3t cuent to that period; or if he did, he ought like p
I. wife tohaveflited all the changes which bad fubfe
l(j quently taken place in the meafuie* of the other *
,p nations, he ought also have ftatrd that since that si
period, France had brele her cxifling treaty with j (1
eg 11s; inftir.d of which, he rcmaiks, that to have! g
»r endeavored to have described nit these changes would "
}r have been asendlefs as useless, since thefcenes would t(
lt j have been (hifting while under description. He e
r . mast have well known that the liberal treaty ti
proposed by France required that we should be- r
come a party in the war; he mull have well .
known that this proposal of a new treaty ciroft al- w
together out of the then exijling war, and was in
therefore no more a circumstance connefled with b
the settled order of things, than any other war mea■ ft
j 5 sure of the other belligerent power. tf
Here in the very introduction then of his report, pi
0 fee departs altogether from the plan laid down, on if
f purpose to impress cungrefs with a belief that
e France was difpefed to a liberal treaty with fp
n us, when he knew (what Genet's cbliflied UJruc- w
