But it was fa:d the Executive wis tai l, aujttous to receive this opinion ; lie found It nothing of this fort in the speech of the pre- t<v> ff fident, and he did not know upon what tlema ground the affert'iv^could be made. It was ment well known, Mr. C. said, that it wa3 infi- be of? nuated in France tlrat the government and true, the people of this country had different leagu v.-uis; it therefore became them to ail in with such a maimer as to repel the charge ; but that' if they agreed to the prefept amendment, yet h t]ie opinion would be strengthened. pon i Mr. C. concluded by observing, that tho' fame unanimity was very deferable upon a question was i of this fort, yet it was above all things to j count be avoided, if it were tp be at the proposed if thi facrifice. The gentleman from Pc#mfylva- ough 1 nis> had called upon the Committee to con- asked vince the French Nation that there was no Mr. "British influence in thSt House, but he ho- said > ped they should not Ihew them at the fame to th time that there was no American mflu'ence. onal, He trusted they should not shew to them nor t - that they were all Frenchmen ; that they be th were divided, from the Executive, and had coun no confidence in it 5 that the President was T tinder British influence, and that he could takei not therefore be trusted. This indeed would ment be re-echoing the calumnies which had been Prefi rajfed against this country. he w Mr. Dayton said the tedious length of ted i the debate on the proposition from the gen- atior tlefflan from Virginia, had determined him " to have left his amendment to its fate, with- tori's Out taking up the time of the Committee tack - with any obfervatioas in.favour of it. .The quel <ritici£ms which it had provoked fr° m the proc gentleman from South Carolina, might, per- and jiaps, have been deemed a fufficitnt apolo-. tone gy for breaking this resolution, if it had i appl not been suggested that a modification of that some expralfions would render it more agree- Mr. able to fonre members of the Committee, | of t to which he had no pb}e£lion, as-they did mad | net tend to change the fentiicent, They jhe v ■were, that instead of "as favorable as" to only insert " fim-lar to those of," and after " with the ] us," xhff words, "if an inequality fnall be acci found to exist." _ , an<^ Mr. D. till ycfterday was of opinion, coui that, however members differed about the " I mode of doing it, that there were none who " n did npt wish to place France upon the fame " o footino- with other nations in respect to trea- " v ties. °He thought the dispute had been a- " d boat words and not about substance. He " c hoped in the remarks he (hould make, he " 11 should be excufedfrom arraigning the French " t Republic like a criminal at their bar, not " r only with crimes comro'-tted against the in- , " t terefts of the United States, but also with " { those said to be committedagainft the differ- " f ent nations of Europe, with whose political " ] connexion we have nothing to do, and for " 1 which they would not certainly thank us ; I to fay to them you have enslaved this coun- bee try, and deceived into vassalage another, out were not very pleasant afTertions ; and this the to be said also of sovereign nations as inde- exp pendent as we, at a time when the reprefen- a o tativeS of those nations were accredited, and der received amongst us $ and not only received He ' but permitted to fit within their walls, and arg listen to their debates. i of If the question were, into what balance j vei of the powers of Europe we Ihould be cast, un as a make weight, such observations might of be pertinent ; but as he conceived the quef- fa) tion related to the maintenance of the peace ful of this country, he could not fee how luch fw remarks could apply. He hoped he should no not be accused of a want of spirit, if he did ad not speak of war as a pastime—os conquer- wt jng countries, as if it were only to overrun fei them, to make them our own ; or if he did fa; not talk of bucKling on our armour, and. of ou DYING IN THE LAST DITCH. Tohimitjul appeared better to express ourselves with a wi becoming spirit of relentraent,without using w; the rcige cf a madman. It was not necef- fp fary to crouch to any nation. But he wish- w j «d to aft as if we wished for peace, and not F I to ftpnd in the position of Gladiators, ec to found the trumpet of tl-tiar.ee. j II He could fay that he felt the full force of , le the indignity offered to this country in the P diffmiffal of our minister. He did not hear F i With coolness " you shall repeal -this a<ft, p . you shall annul this decree, &c. before we fz will have any. communication with you."— tl When he heard this language, even from the n Republic of France, he felt as an American, n but he acknowledged a spirit of conciliation, and a fcnfe of gratitude ( not yet extinguish- d ed) led him at least to moderate, if not to tl eKtingnifh this resentment. The reeollefti- d on of benefits received, would lead him to p fay to them : " Frenchmen, you were our p fifft and best allies, when the country we n called our Mother, endeavoured to reduce f US to unconditional subjeCtion ; when every a nation flirunk from us, you, People of France 1 (or, if gentlemen like it better, your mo-j 1 »A*ch) fupported'us > —you reached out t a helping hand for our prote&ion, —You at t that time entered into a treaty with<js ; if it now operate hardly upon you, take it back ; t what you. Kberally granted to ns in 1778, is ! restored to you in 1797, as it is, in youro- j pinioß at least, a source of diiquietud* ; you ] ) Sail be admitted to all the favours of the 1 British treaty of 1794 ; neutral ffiips shall not make neutral goods ; the lift jof contra- . band articles and the provision article m that treaty, (frail he yours, and inserted in voornew code." But, in this, he I would refill the construction put upon the second article of the Trench treaty. And he would not only grant these privileges to the Ffeneh nation, but to any natioc in the world, that the British treaty put upon an unequal footing, and which, it not altered or modified, would be the cau£c of war. As little would he be disposed to agree fft the couflruftion which had been pradi cally put upon the provision article by Great Britain. It had not been fully established by writers on the law of nations that there were any instances in which belligerent pow ers could consider provisions as contraband, except when going to a blocksdedorbefieged ' plase. Iloxev* dure would be no diffical- . & ty.in the cafe, if the article were given to out » France in the fame way as to Great Bri- on th tain. ' j coumi It might be proper to notice, Mr. Day- 1 'o t-e t'vi said, the op,pofite obie&ions of the gen- expi t tleman from South Carolina to the amend- M i ment (Mr. Smith.) He said France would gentl be offended at the proposal ;if that were "-he a true, agreeable to the do£lrine of his col- tec, league ( Mr. Harpei*} it would inspire them ' lo P c 1 with respect for us but he added also had' [ that France would laugh at the proposal: wifliit , yet he did not fee how thc*y could look u- natio pon it with such different sensations at the icn ' fame time. He went on to fay that France felfti I was already more highly favoured than other not > j countries : but, before he fat down, he said Fro" i• if this favour were granted to France she rlta:i - ought, to allow an equivalent. Where, he mi&l - asked, was the cohfiftericy of such assertions ? menc a Mr. D. - then took notice of what had been 1- said with refpeel to the amendment dictating jcSi< c to the Executive and its being upconftituti- loCft :. onal, and shewed that it was neither one t ' me ' II nor the other, hut he trufled that it would f r ° !rl y be the Harbinger of Peace between thf two l ' ] -' d countries. .y 4 is The gentleman from Maffachufett-s had IO 0 d taken the liberty of faying, that the amend- m 'P c d ment was. founded on a persuasion that the ! - tle ' n Pfefideat woitld lint do his duty, and that M he was under British influence. He fubrait- held >f ted it to the committee whether such obferv- by 1 1- ations deserved an answer. n " Mr. Harper having noticed Mr. Day- ed o 1- ton's usual practice of making personal at- >»««. :e tacks on members in'debate, and the fre- t,e le quent instances of it with refpeft to himfelf, ' !as le proceeded to mention the terms Madman vv r- and Gladiator as instances. Mr. Day- c J le< - a-, ton did not deny that these terms had been " cu ' id 1 applied to Mr. Harper. He only asked why ex P< )f that gentleman should take them to himfelf ? P a '"' e- Mr. Harper answered that the application cam e, iof the "terms, though not direst, was so 11 id made as to be perfectly well understood, and ' u:£ :y jhe went on to observe that he had been not P cat Lo only called a Gladiator and a Madman by th i the gentleman from Jerfey,but had also been k- c 3e accufedof indecency in referring to Hoi- <>n 1 land and Spain while the minister* of those kmc n, countries were present. "It is not said Mr. not tie " Harper, among the least of that gentle- anxi 10 " man's inconsistencies that he should accuse ' ae " others of indecency at the very moment j f° r :a- " when-he was committing it himfelf. But " c 1 a- " does he really imagine that the freedom 11 • Je " of difcuflion in this house is to be tranl- beti he " melled by the presence of Foreign minis- l!lcl ch " ters ! Does he seriously suppose that the P arl ot " mouths of members are to be ftopt, on l ' !c ' in- I " topics which they deem relevant and im- p'y th " portant, because those gentlemen think '"g sr- " fit to come and fit in the lobby ? If so °°" :al " I can only pi£y his weakness and his ig- ' For " norance." [The above communicated.} me ' is ; Mr. N. Smith thought members had G, ' e m- been more desirous of addrefling the people 1 er, i out of doors, than of confining themselves to * xC his the fubjeft in debate. He infilled that to ' atl de- express a hope that the President would do °' 1 en- a certain thing was to coerce him to it. He w * ind denied the constitutional right to do this.— P a s fed He charged gentlemen with founding their J lo ' md arguments on a warring in the departments "'g jof Government; it was his opinion that go r.ce j vernment could notgo on except there was an ' ,c -' aft, union of design amongst the different parts ,ov ght of it. One branch of the Gov. ought not to vva jef- fay to the other, you have done wrong, but eo: ace full faith should be given to each. The an- 1' uch fwer to the speech of the President should iuld not introduce any new matter, by way of 0,1 did advice, but respond only such sentiments as ner- were addressed to them.He was against of- j ' ■run fering the advice proposed, because it was j did faying to France and the world, "we fear u l Los our President will not do right, except we « £ nit direct him." It was said the President met l!l h a ! with difficulty in his Negociations, which sing was owing to the flanders which had been :cef- spread in France, viz. that the Executive irish- was all English, and the People all !h not French. Oitthisaccount the French look- m 3RS, ed upon the Executive with a jealous eye. c * Ifthe committee thought these things ground- ar :e of j less they (hould assure the French, that the * the President is less English, and they lees 1' hear French than have been reprefentedby ex- 01 act, prefiing their confidence in him. But it was P 1 : we said they should give their ultimatum ; but that if the amendment passed, he said, would ™ 1 the not be the cafe, because the President would " ican, make what ultimatum he judged proper. b( tion, He had no doubt that the President would ti iiifh- do ?11 that was wished by them to conciliate 1« otto the French. He did not know but he would » le£ti- do more ; nor was he certain it would not be t< n to proper do more than had yet been contem- * our plated. He did not know-but it would he y we nectffary to deal with France at with Algiers; c ; duce such queftiom were question* of expediency, r every and the ultimatum should be given with car?, tl ranee It was difficult so fay what the designs of the n mo- French were ; h« apprehended they wanted t out to involve us by degrees in a war with her * ou at enemy." e ;if it Mr. B'AV»WIN wifeed, since they mud re- I jack ; turn an answer, that it should be done in the c 78, is least mifchievuus way. He believed the raa- Duro- jority of the committee was in fav;>r of the t I you principle of the amendment, and differed on- 1 f the ly about th? manner of expressing it. The : ; shall treaty of 17.78 had long been considered as I ontra- .bearing hard upon the trench, and prepofi :le m tipns had been made for relaxing it, but they ted in ha»l heen refilfed by our Executive.

But the gentleman from beli New-Jerfcy had iotruduced a new check—a wer . check on the freedom of speech, when par- ( , ticular charafteis were present. He did not J j )e] r expeA to have heard any such observation, | ? particularly from the quarter from wheuce it wa| 1 came. • anc 1 Mr. Dayton wiffted the gentleman to C0I) 1 state what he had f*id fairly. Mr. D. re- p rc I peated.his expreffian. f OO r Mr. W. Smith said members were not to , be called to account for what fell from them g r{ on that floor, and he hoped a remark of that no| ; kind would never again be made. He was _ j not at a loss to know the motive for all the wo . I anxiety which appeared for the pafling of this j n j e I amendment. The French had never alked g u t : for what was proposed to be granted them ; t he would undertake to fay they bad refufed me n it. Mr. S. shewed by the correl'pondence j t . | betwixt Mr. Randolph and Mr. Adet, that •_ there had {been a perfefk willingness on the e ' part of our executive tc ( make alterations in ~ n the existing treaty with that nation agreea bly to their wilhes, and that it was n®t ow k ing to any thing on oar part that it was not o done. : All that could be said for the present a- mendment, was, that it was left lad than the d one negatived, as there was not a single Word of [ e in this which altered the sense from the other. Ft 0 He repeated the propriety of making a ftipu -0 lation for the payment of our twelve millions C; [0 of loss by spoliations, which if the Fttnch [ e were not able to pay irt ni<wiey, they might ch _ pay in (hips of war and frigates. He did ; r not with France to be put upon the fame foot ts i"g with other countries, because they were 0 . ftipulationg in some of our treaties, which wl jn he should not like to fee in a French treaty ; ft< ts for inrtance, in our treaty with Sweden, there qi to was an article which had produced great in he ut convenience. He meant the embargo article, to n _ There was an article also in the treaty with F U Spain, whttfc, though it may not be injuri- S 0 f ous as it relates to that country, he should w a3 be sorry to fee it inserted in a French treaty, hi 3 f. | By the t6th article of that treaty, the Spa- ai , as ! niards were allowed to take great liberties w ar | with our veffds : when their (hips of war, in vve j want of provisions, meet any of our vessels, tet ! they are allowed to take out of them such : c h ueceffariesas they ftend in need of, for which ■en they give a receipt, to be paid by theii go- S ; ve vernment agents. This liberty he fiiould not L L like to have given to French vessels, ffrat they S 5 k- might take provisions from our vessels, in y e , exchange for a lit of paper. 1 here was also nc l_ an article in our treaty with Algiers, the £ the 12th, which he would not have inserted in a EES French treaty, viz. " that a citizen found f ex . on board an American vessel, having no paff was P urt > be considered as a lawful prize." [j U t It was very extraordinnry that gentlemen t lU ld were continually calling the Britilh Treaty a uld bad one, and still they wtfhed the French to be put upon the fame footing with Bri- 1 ,'uld tifh. He would rather gi*e them an equiva iate l ent " n f° me ot ber way. The gentleman j , u ld from Pennfylrania had wiflied the committee t be to rally round the ftandatd of peace (by : em . which he meant the amendment before them.) 1 he This put him in mind of the story of a re crs; cmiting ferjeant, who was beating up for )C y', recruits when the prince of Wales was a lit ;are! tie boy, who feeing feme boys playing at the marbles, in order to seduce them, fiid that nted 'hey would have nothing- to do bat to play at her marbles <with ike Prince. He doubted not every member in that committee wiflted for 1 re . peace ; Lut he trusted they had too much 1 the discernment thus to be taken in. raa- ' Mr. Gallatin said, one of the obferva the tiors made by the gentleman last up, he could | on- not a (Tent to ; he did not believe they were The all desirous of peace ; for, if he mud express d as his opinion, he did not believe that gentleman pofi- tuijhed for peace. Mr. G. drew this coucle they fion from the variety of coiitradiftory objec- This tions which he had urged against the amend ap- meat. To prove that our Executive wiflied us of to have Remedied th« grievances complained done Qf in the Britilh treaty ; he had read letters i the which passed between the French minister and to be the secretary of state, in July, 1795-1 1- aa- These letters were written before the Bri tilh treaty was ratified by the President, and | nt of therefore it was not poflible they could treat it our upon the articles contained in that treaty, atian, especially as the powers given to Mr. Adet new were given to him before the liritifli treaty x> the was known. The tranfafbon only (hewed, e d therefore, that our Executive was well dis h had posed, at a certain period, to enter into a new 1 were j commercial treaty witb Fiance, more rtcipro- J not c»l than that of 1778. But tbe offer to treat V»s made—witb whom ? with a who had no pjwer to treat, and he had not heatd *- that the Executive had sent over to France "j,"' any perfoa empowered to treat with that h ~ yt government. St.] But it was uid tWs intendment was big with p r |« danger, as it would give to Trance certain pro- ~r S| visions granted in treaties, with other powers, ] nj . which it is not dsfinbte (lie Ciould hive. A.i bre; article in tie Swedilh treaty wil mentioned, but gentldmca should recoiled! that this was an tr.ii'i article cf reciprocity : we have the fame right f^ e£ in a Swedish port that Swedes have in ours; and as we had .heard great complaints about e.nbar- a goes upon our vefMs in Freneh ports, if an ?r- fori tide of this fort was agreed upon, It won d be poV of great advantsg* to tis. The next olijeQton' able article wif one in the Spaniih treaty, al- f u f t low<ng lhips of war m distress to take out provi- o en 'lions froi» our vtflels, on giving a receipt. "J-J, I,This, Mr. G. said, was allowed by the law of had nations, if there liad been no prorifmn ot the o hl kindinthe the treaty, that,only provided the q ue manner of paying for what was taken. As to : w j M the treaty with Algiers he cimld fee no gonnec- u f 3 , tion between that and tbe treaties in question ; I oft yet, even iii that treaty, free bottoms were al- ! a t ; lowed to make free goods. Besides, Mr G. j a c ] observed, this was to be sent to our Ex- ! Jug ecutive, who knew very well what was meant , f ro , by the exprtflions used in the amendment. He ; m j charged gentlemen with endeavouring to raise the prejudice »f members with refpefl to the enc treaty question, in order to get them to rally J a |, round die standard of uppolition to the amend- n4 f mer.t. He apologised for having so expressly t un charged the gentleman from S. Carolina with pro not wifhitig for ncaee, but did not mean tore- -3 t trail the exprefiion. tea Mr. W. Smith said, he wilhed to relieve the tis gentleman from the uneafmefs he feentied to feel from having made i'j direct a tharge agai.ifi him; but he would tell him, that he did not believe (though be bad said ft) that if the-French were not fatisfied with the terms offered in this amendment, he would be willing to go to war. on And now he tho'tthe account sett cd between them. _ ty Mr. Coit said, that hiving brought for- • ward a motion similar in its spirit to the one co , tinder coufideration, which had not been fe- joii conded, and intending to vote sgainft the eri present, it became necessary to give his rea- 6 ' foos. H« did not think it the fame thing. ; The difference, it was true, was not very [o ' great, but it was so great as to induce him not to give his v»te for it. It conlifted, we g a believe, in this—in Mr. C's amendment, the Cr words were "on grounds as favorable," and thi in Mr. Dayton's, "on grounds similar to." Fe But he thought the expreflion ambiguous. The question, on Mr. Dayton's amend ment, was put and carried, there beinjj for it 52, against it 47. The committee rose, and had leave to fit T again. Adjoui»ed.
