Fouyl.- flnet ; and at Mr. Carey's, BookfeUec, Markct-ftreet— Half adeHai eack. Letter to Mr. finc!kney, Minijler Plenipntentiary of the United Stutej to the b'rench Republic. [concluded.] Although the fubjrft of M. De la Croix'3 third and last complaint (the Britilh treaty) has been al ready difcufled, allow me here to make a few re marks. He fays "it will be easy to prove that " the United States in this treaty have knowingly " and evidently facrificed their connexions with " the Republic, and the molt essential and least " comefted prerogative of neutrality."—The re verse of what the mioiller considers fo.eufy to prove, we think has been demmjlrated. Our legally bind ing c«nne£lions with France we always considered as being formed by our treaties: and we fay with confidence that we have not "knowingly" violated these in a single article. If individuals have at any time infringed them, the government has been fin cefe and diligent in its endeavors tQ redress the wrong. If the ties of affedion, of warm, enthu fiailic friendlhip have been weakened, the raufe is to be fought for not in the a£is of the American Government 1 ; which have been eonilantly direct ed to the prefei vation of *ur pcacewith all nations. These ties did not depend on treaties. It was our friendfhip to France, contracted during our revo lution, and oar partiality for the cause of liberty and felf government for which she engaged in her own, that made us endure numerous injuries aimed without complaining. We weie not wilting to as cribe to the Republic the outrages of her mriif ters against the laws, the sovereig nty and the dig nity of the United States, or the exceptionable stile of their communications. Even when for such flagrant aggrefllons, often repeated, we defued the recal of one of her miniders, it was done in 'he mod soothing language, and in the meantime, led the intereds of the Republic (hould fnffer, he was permitted to exeraife his fun&ions in all cases in which thafe interests could be afFeited. When his successor arrived, he officially requeded that the pffending minider might ha apprehended, that he might be sent to Franc* : But the Government fitisfied by his removal, declined the measure — Some irritations were experienced from that fue criTor—Whit sensations have been produced by Mr. Adet's notes, your own feelings, on the peru sal will enable youtojndge. If he intended to ex cite the general indignation of our citizens, he is not disappointed": but it is presumed (his was not the obje&. After an exhibition of complaints in a stile so exceptionable, he could add but one more improper a£t, that of publishing his notes in the news papers : he had'fcarcely transmitted them ta the Executive, before he iorwarded them to the printer for publication. From the foregoing datement we trust it will appear, That there has been no attempt in the Government of the United States to violate our treaty or weaken our engagements with France. That whatever resistance it has opposed to the mea lwres of her agents, the maintenance ef the laws and fovereigaty of the United States and their neu tral obligations have rendered indispensable : That it has never acquiesced in any acts vielatilif our rights or interfering with the advantages Itipulated to Fracce ; but on the contrary has pppofed theai by all the means in its pawer: That it .has with held no fuceours from France that were compati ble with the duties of neutrality tp grant : That as well by,their independent political rights as by the express provilions of the commercial treaty with France, the United States were at full liberty to enter into commercial treaties with any other na tion, and eonfequently with G rcat -Britain : That no fails manifelting a partiality to that country, .have been, and I add, that none such, can be pro duced. Of the propriety and judnefs of tltefe conclusi ons you will endeavor to fatisly the French Go vernment ; and conlcieus of the re&iiude of our own proceedings, daring the whole eourfe of the p*efeut war, we cannot but entertain the mod san guine expectations that they will be fatisfied. We even hope that this has been already accomplished, and that you will be saved from the pain of renew ing a difcufiion which the Government ha 3 entered upon with regret. Your million and indrutlions prove its solicitude te have prevented this necessity, and the fineerity of its present hopes, that your endeavors, agreeably to those intlru£tions, " To " remove jealousies and obviate complaints, by shewing that they are groundless—to restore " confidence so unfortunately and injuriaufly ira " paired—to explain the relative interests of both " couutiics, and the real sentiments of your own," have been attended with success. And as a confe [ qtience thereof we rely on the repeal of the de ciees and orders which expose oui commerce to : indefinite injuries, which militate with the obliga ■ tions of treaties and cur rights as a neutral nation.

A Correspondent asks upon what ground an op position can be made to fending an envoy extraor dioary to tfce French natinn ? Will it be said that there is not an equal propriety at present with re gard to France, that there was lately in refpefl to Great-Britain i The cafcs appear to be particular, ly similar—the cruizers of both nations have at tacked our commerce. Why then is an objection now made, by the very men, who, to a cafe exactly similar, gave their decided approbation ? Is it be cause France is in quedion, and wot Great-Bri tain ?—lf nations are to be treated with refpefl, 1 only in proportion to theirpo-wer, surely"the Frcnch ; may claim some title to a procedure which would evidence refpe£t. At the time Mr. Jay was sent la Great-Britain, was he Bot made choice of, on account of tiality to that nation, and as thereby, more likely to meet with a friendly reception ?—Such a choice was exceedingly proper ; it uvinced a peaceful dis position. But should a different line of conduct be now pursued, will not the world, with propriety, 1 quellion the " Jincerity" oi our " wishes to pre- | serve harmony, and a good tlnderdanding with the French republic." No opinions are more general, and I am perfua- ! ded none are more ill founded, than that one free government has nothing to apprehend from another free government —that all republics are free govern ments —that they naturally love each other—that it is the intered of the United States, that all the world fh iuld be republicanized—that monarchies i are the natural enemies of Republics—and that we ought to embark in the quixotic projects of revolu tionizing mankind, and giving every nation whether they desire it or not, a form of government like our own. These opinions have not even the countenance of theory to support them . Are men lei's fond of j power in a republic than in a monarchy ? Which | is the mod affurning, a courtier, <y a demagogue ?' —All experience hfrs given the lie direst to the 1 opinions above dated j and hidory has furniflied us 1 with examples of their faHity in every page. How 1 pften do we fee a nation refilling tyranny wills one hand, and at the fame time drenuoufly employing the other in reducing to the mod abject flavcry those within their gtafp Those nations who are ■ the moll disposed to establish and maintain their ( own freedom and independence, arc r.ot the lead disposed to attack the freedom and independence of o hers. The love of pdwer is as natural and bewitching at the lave of freedom. I believe mod ( >eopi(; by freroum mean only that <h< y ftxiuld bff tree thcmieWes. Will a Virginian pietei:d that he means any thing more ? Then let him free Uis slaves and give them a part of what thfir labour has acquiied. Why (feould a French tepubßcan love au Ame ricaii better than a fubjrtt of the French monar chy ? Is a French man now less immoral, 1,-fs felf. i(h, less pfoud, less vain, less ambitious, than a French man twenty ytfars ago ? Will it be laic! that he loves an American because from him lie firll im bibed the principles of freedom ? Then it is-they who owe us every ihinff, and not we them. The truth it, that all governments are to each other man in a state of nature is—if not holtile, yePfelfifh, and disposed 'o promote their own inte rest and advantage—they who expett any v thing else betray their ignorance of human nature. From the late publication of Monfteur Comma dure- Brigadier-Generalßarney in the Armies of France, it may be juflly fufpefted that this titled citizen of Maryland, has a partner in B'altiroorer—■ a pjrtner in ike profits ef his nefarious trade, -of capturing the property of his countrymen—How long an tinbluihing Catalint will be tolerated by the men of reflection in Baltimore remains to be feen—wegtve them the praile of very greatpatienc* —The arrival of a Fifty gun (hip in the Chefapeak mull be a very cxhilerating fpettacle.—. If Barney can lay out a million'of dollars in his con tract for supplies it may make some converts. It i» much to the honor of our country that men in general condemn the principle upon which 'the Jacobius juftify Barney's conduct ; You might at well expeA that an individual Should thrive and fat ten on the flelhofhis Own limbs—by gnawing his fliouldersto the bone—ns that a nation can even exill, as Independent, if this disorganizing princi ple be put inti pra&ice and be juftified by public opinion. When the Treaty was talked of the cant of the French party was what it now is,—They gave the Key note of their party here to France, and invit ed her to join in the concert—They told France " don't be afraid to resent this Treaty—The peo ple (meaning will join you "-—AW toa on the President's communication they held the fame language—They invite the French to be irri. talcd—They will fail—France surely mill remem ber that the tories in the beginning of our Evolu tion milled G. Britain by similar arrogance Th£y called themfalves the People, G. Biitain believed thetn ; France will by this time, surely have learn, ed this truth, that though the Americans lincerely wilhed her a good and free government yet they have not the most dirtant idea of oversetting their #wn urn i vailed Government to oblige her ! That the nation are not the whispering malcontents who tell Mr. Adet a great deal of nonsense—and that the People treat with contempt and abhorrence all hei • empls upon their sovereignty.
