France, has lately become extremely criti- by cal ; that the proceedings of the executive ,h t government of the latter have assumed a p ri complexion of animosity and violence which bui threaten at least an interruption of the good at intelligence and harmony that had so long an , | subsisted between our refpe&ive nations. R | I Perhaps an important crisis is not diftar.t, which it may be painful to anticipate, but att which when it ripens to a head will require te; no common boldness to be contemplated r |f, with composure. The system of terror is employed against our government with as little ceremony as it was once employed by a Britilh ministry against our nation, and is je<f ■unqualified. And if the consequences they r0 i may expedt ihould not result from it, ,coer cive measures may soon be expedtcd to sol- j 1 low. What these will produce, time must ga unfold. In my last letter you were given to a | ; understand that, our new minister lent re- G f place Mr Monroe,, at Paris, had not been re- qt ceived by the executive diredtory ; and that w Mr. Monroe had received, upon the occa. te fion of taking his leave, particular marks of favor which were personal to himfelf, and at expressly separated him from the injurious 0 | exprefiions used towards the government he had been sent to represent. Since then, Mr. Pinckney has been ordered to quit France. It can hardly be supposed that the system, which gave rile to these measures will stop p Ihort in its operation at this point : We f . must therefore be prepared to face other in- w , fults, more indignities, and a greater por- 0 > tion of wrongs than we have yet fuffered 0 ■ from the French Republic. They are raif- 1 ; " ing pretensions to dominion over us which are utterly incompatible with our indepen- v s dence ; such as, I trust, no patrioticAAme n - rican will be content to promote, and which b J few, I beligve, will fee with indifference, r ' A French yoke, or a British, will never fit t lightly upon my neck, and I think I am c not lingular in the delicacy of my feelings, o lam pot ignorant, however, that there are | T those my country, ready, willing, and al- , f ready engaged to become Arnolds and K.an- : ; dolphs in the French cause, who have en- { •- lifted under the banner, and expedt to be t it covered with the (hield of those immaculate i ia principles which, we have been told, are so ( II peculiar to that republic. [I You may wilh to know how far the peo- : 3t pie of France coincide with the views of i n their present government, in their treatment, ; » f towards the United States ; and whether a war at this time between the two nations, * would be odious or popular. I have every id reason to believe that the French nation de i- precate lincerely such an extremity ; that it a- ig the general wilh to maintain a friendly in a" tercourfe witli us, because they know it to be reprocally beneficial, and neither feel nor f e fee any reason for its suspension. But, in id order to account for the exiltence of such id opposite dispositions in their present rulers, at for the little influence the public voiceappears to possess in the executive councils, it is ne n. celfary to know that the government in this er country is every thing, and the people noth ot The sovereign majesty of the people is just * ; e fufficient to be held in i'upreme contempt ; and whether they are for, or against, the condudl of the diredtory, on any given oc casion, it is scarcely worth while to enquire. The directory alone cannot declare war, and I am almost persuaded that the legislative bo- dies are far from desiring war with America ; but the executive may be profoundly hostile towards us, and diredt violences and provo cations against our country, which must _ lead to open resentment, and the legislative ' bodies cannot prevent them. Should such condudt therefore be pursued, and the accu mulated injuries of the French directory compel the government of the United States to refill by an appeal to arms, the French nation will be made the blirid.and deluded in strument of vengeance against their only real and sincere friends. It is painful to an American to contemplate this pidture ; for who among us has not wilhed well to their cause, so long as it was a contest for freedom and independence ? You need not be told that America is not the only neutral government, wherein French intrigue is active ; menaces equally bold are ,ck- addrclfed to all the neutral commercial states, ng- but with as little success in general as with ■. ds ' us. Enmity to their only formidable foe, ■an anxious desire to cut off her commerce f ew with all her nations, and despair at the dif trefiing situation of her own affairs, has pro old. probably been the inducement with the di > redtory to adopt their present policy, lime and experience must either convince them of its temerity, or by fuccSts they will derive a fandtion for it."
