Xl, PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY EVENING, Serf emm* 13. From the Vikginia Gazetts, tstc. / No. VIM. A DEVELOPEMENf OF THE CAt/SES OF THE DISTURBANC'ES BETWEEN THE AMERI CAN AND FRENCH REPUBLICS. Addrtj[le4 to the Citizem of America. my fellow-citizens, WHEN the letter from Mr. jtfferfon to Mazzei was written, is not precisely afcer tainetl, nor 13 it material in the present en qtiiry to be, known. That it was written after the idea prevailed of the diffrrance of sentiment between the people and govern ment of this country ; and that it is calcu lated to confirm that idea in Franee, every sentence of the letter itfelf proves; and there fore is the impropriety of it -fufficiently as certained, at whatever period it may have |ieen written. It is suggested, however, by some of Mr. Jefferfon's most intimate ac quaintances and best friends (who' I have heard admit that he wrote it) that it was written while he was secretary of state. To this extreme impropriety of official conduft, I will now add an article of information j (which I have jufl received from a quarter that cannot be doubted) that will confirm, in a great measure, the important part which such letters and such conduft have afted in producing our present situation with France. Soon after the successor of Mr. JefFerfon retired from the office of state, and while the cause of his retirement was the prevail ing tope of the day, a person, then high in office in Virginia, and now enjoying one of the most important appointments undef the government of the United States, was heard to fay, "that he" (Mr. Randolph) "never was in the confidence of," what he was pleased to stile, "the republican party," to . which it is well known that person always profefled to belong, as a proof of which, he aflerted, that but few of the friends of France had trusted their letters to that coun try through the office of ftate,the rejtg naticn of Mr. JeJferfon, .but had sent them immediately through the hands of the minis ter of France —that very minister, too, who had thns infamoutly andfalfely pretend ed a criminal intimacy even with that secre tary, who his party thus profefled themselves afraid to trust with their secrets against the government of their country. This faft, my fellow citizens, (which I conceive an im portant one in the developement of the cau ses of our present situation, as it opens a view not only to the secret, the mysterious, and very improper conduft of some of our coun trymen, but throws a light upon the means which have been employed by thenr, in cpn junftion with the French, to destroy those who stood in the way of their secret pro jt A .«) I flatter myfelf I shall be able to pifuve to your fulleft fatisfa&ion, if disputed; and, therefore, shall now draw the conclu sion, which naturally rcfults from such pre mises as the letter juit examined into, and the corroborating testimony of one of the party, who has thus turned state's evidence against bis own friends. It is to be observed, that the confeffion thus made of the " fear tf the party to trust their letters through the department of state," after the faithful, the trusty, and the devoted friend of France, had left it, was long before the letter of Mazzei was seen, or such an accidental disclosure of the con tents of their letters was expefted to be made. The confeffion was then a thing tip on which no precise charge could be fixed, as it was not known what those letters " they were afraid t« trust through the department of state" contained. But having now seen a letter from the officer of thjt department himfelf, who thty were witling to truji, and comparing the contents of that letter, with the confeffion thus made, what are the con clusions natural to be drawn ? That there were letters written indeed, whicji were im proper to be conveyed through the hands of our government, and which, therefore, could not be entrusted to that conveyance, after thole had departed from office, who were not only sensible of their impropriety, but were equally interested with the authors themselves, in keeping the contents of such improper letters secret ! The letter just examined into, certainly warrants that or any other conclusion that can poflibly be drawn. There is not only every thing improper in it, that can arise from the consideration of its being written by one who was assisting, in an eminet de gree, in administering which tha letter itfelf- holds up as infamous ; not only the cleared proofs to be obtained from it, of those misrepresentations of the princi ples of our government, and the sentiments of the people towards it, which were calcu lated to bring upon us our misunderstandings with France ; but the most fatisfaftory con firmation that th4re were many other letters of the famg. defeription, or perhaps worse, written immediately to France, which have not yet come to light in this country. My God!— And is this the mighty friend to the people, who is thus accusing them of be ing the advocates of principles which they dare not promote in the appo ntment of their officer} ?—This the friend to American in dependence, who is thus fecret'y courting a fo reign power to controul us ? This the im mciculate head of repullicanifm in the great and flouriihing empire of America, and the ene my to an Anglo-monarchico-ariftocratic in fluence, who has thus travelled to the court of the Grand Duie of Tufcany, of all other places upon earth, to hunt out a proper con fident to deposit his secret platfs for the pro motion of those principles of repubKcanifm with \ This the hero who prefers the tem pjluous fca of lilerty to the calm of defpetifm, and tajiisfo boldly of the timid men f Lut where he supposed it would never be heard of by them) who is now afraid to fay whether he is au thor of that pretty littlt epijllt to Mazzei or not 'f'uls the virtuous aceufer of the officers of our government, who, while an officer himfelf, made.,that office with which he was entrusted, th> acknowledged channel thro' which information was sent to our enemy, that was improper to be conveyed through the fame channel after he had left it ! ! ! At a time when France was endeavoring j to dillrad-l and divide all Europe ; t a set one nation up to destroy another ; to stir up the people of all nations to uppofe their own governments ; in fliort, when, (he had (hewn an evident willingness to promote her own views, at the expence of all the world be lides, and for that noiale purpose, had em ployed intriguing emifTaries in every quar ter of the globe, where any advantage could be gained in that way—Was it right for a ny of the departments of those governments, thus intrigued upon, to be made the imme diate channel through which those wicked ai}d deftruftive project were to be promoted against themselves ? From the commencement of the French revolution to the present flage of it, through every step, and by all parties, these were the constant and avowed principles upon which they afted. Even while Hie king lived, and their pretcnfwns were confined to a limited monarchy, they had views of diffracting and disturbing Europe. Neckar in defence of the king, de Lefiarts, who was minister for foreign affairs, and their miniller at Vienna when the war broke Out, all (hew, that the disposition of the emperor, of Prussia and Austria, were pacific , and that they were all forced into the war by the system of France. And.Briffot, in accusing the king in the convention of want of fidelity to the nation, confirms the fame thing. After the king's death, we have the I ftrorigeft proofs from the heads of both par ties, of the continuance avid enlargement of the fame plan. BrifTot declares in one of his letters, that for the French to succeed in their revolution, it was necessary " they should fetfire to the four corners ofEurope." Oniillr Dtfmoulins, in answer to BrifTot, in support of the party of the Robefperians, though violently opposed to BrifTot in every thing else, agrees with him in the fame par ticular. "To disorganize Europe," fays the Robefperian, " was one of the sublime vocations of the convention," v Their ac tions have always eorrefponded with their profeffions ; and the most arful and infidu ous means hare ever been employed to en furethem fuccets in those atrocious projedts. At the very time ?vhen this was their plan at home, and preparations were making for its execution throughout Europe, they car ried their deception, which was a principal part of their system, so far, as to assure the Emperor, that they abhorred the idea of exciting commotions and diffentions among nations. And even when they had laid one of the most abominable schemes, which be longed to the whole system, to destroy Eng land, they carried their diffimuUtion so far, as to folieit the interposition of that nation to bring about a peace with Prussia and the Emperor. The scheme was this ; to estab lish a popular government in Holland, there by to place their forces under their com mand, destroy their trade, and, to use the words of'one of the members* of their own convention, "to place their a/Jignftts on the very defksoflheir counting-houses, there to ruin the bank of England, and bring about a revolution in the whole money system of Europe, &c." To effedt this, and at the fame time to break the maritime power of that nation, which fteod sb much in - the way of their wicked proje&s of " felting Jirr to and disor ganizing all Europe," it was necessary that the United States of America, like those of Batavia, should be engaged in their service. Accordingly, Genet come here charged with inftruftions to use every means in his power to bring about a commercial treaty with this country, which evidently was in tended to have that effeft ; who, Agreeably to deceptions praftifed oa several of the European nations to complete their plan, used every artifice in his power, and not en tirely without success, to kindle here a little of thcdiforganizingbhze with which they had " set fire to the four corners of Europe," and thereby place us tof> under their controul. "Genet, although he had aftually distribu ted French commissions in Charleftou, and had. endeavoured to engage the people of southern parts of America in the immediate service of France, when at Phila delphia, had the wretched lesion of hypo crisy and (with which their whole fyftetn abounded) so well by heart, as to in duce us to believe that France did not wilh us to join her in the*war. Nevertheless, it appears there were those in America who underftoochhim from the firft, and were apt scholars, in those compounds lessons of French politics, so necessary for the completion of their p'a». That there ever was, and still is, a part/ in America, who wilhed her to come into this grand disorganizing scheme for the aggrandizement of France, while they assume to themselves the credit of being her only patriots, there is no fort of doubt. And that a coalition, so important to France as the one proposed with America, for the completion of this grand deftroyingplan, was to be relinquilhed when (he saw a party for it in this cour.try, was not to have been ex pedled. Wljat she had failed in aecomplifh ing by treaty} through Genet, (he soon per ceived the means of bringing jbout by a di vision among eurfelW? ; and to this the au thority of our own citizens, that we were already a divided popple, gave decided weight. It is the last expedient which has * Sec Chcflard'slpcech, nude and approved of in the C&ivention, in which this whole scheme is explained.^ t 1 he letter from the Vice-President to Mazzci now explains to \is fully what Genet rreast in his reply to his letter to Governeur Morri-, when he infilluates thatjthe Secretary had exprefled very iHffer ent fciitiments in that letter, from what he had al ways done to him ill private. The letter so Mazzei, ;t is to be remembered, is one of his private munications ; therefore, agreeable to bis friend Ge net, we have no riirht to expedt tu ftnd it qonfiltent with his pvM:c aci*s! brought their plan so far on in the part of it which related (;> Holland. To hriiig about that popular government in that deluded country, which was\t(> place their forces under the command of France, and ruin the bank of England, the means which were employed arc very striking, and serve as a ftroiig evidence of the principle by which theyhaVe been governed in their con duit towards us. A fter they had driven off the Stadtholder, and overturned their gov ernment, under the pretence of giving them a free one, a convention war, called for the purpose of farming a constitution, a great majority i>f which v.'erc in favor of a ' federal republic. The minority, who were for a still more loose and pl-odigate system, becaQfe like all men of that description, extremely noisy, and formed a fadtion for the purpose of connterafting the will of the majority The French, with whqfe schemes of 'disor ganization the eftabliffiment of a regular and , firm government did not very well accord, ! were ready at once to seize upon the diffa- of those fadtious few, to bring a bout a system more consonant with that spi rit of disorder, which was the ground work : of their plan. Accordingly, two deputies from the fadtion (Van Vreede and Hoofe) were dispatched to Paris, to obtajn the in terference of France. France did interfere, and the majority were compelled to yield.—i Had the majority, thus treated, been in a situation to refill, the conference, there is no doubt, would have been war. The coalition of America, which came next in their maritime system, that was to Europe in its governments and banks, when seen through and rejedtcd, did not, as I have already observed, increase their affeftions for us ; but on the contrary, determined them, as in the cafe of Holland, to force us into the plan. In this they were encouraged, in tj>.e fame way that thtey had been theW, by a party which they saw in America, ready to call in the pretended principles of their cause to aid in the de ftruftion of our government ; but the geo graphical difference of situation between this country and theUnite<J Provinces with refpeft to France, rendered a different course of co ercion necessary from what had bA:n prac tised there. What they had beep able to effedt in those neighbouring countries im mediately by the menaces of their armies, which had been let in from Belgium by the affiftanee of the ice, they could only at- • tempt in America (remote and separate from them as (he was by the sea) through the medium of her trade. They accord ingly attempted, through that vulnerable part, our interejl, to overturn that system os-policy which they found (o much in the way of their abominable and felfifh plan ; hoping thereby, through the willingness of a part, which they already saw among us, to come into any scheme that would destroy our government, and the dispositions of the reft to avoid war, to subdue us to-their schemes. I Situated as America and France were, this was the most effedtual—nay, the only possible means that France could have devis ed, to make us subservient to her will, and ensure our afting as her tools in the subju gation of other powers, when (he had fail ed in the double plans of enlijlment and nego tiation laid in thfe million of Genet. France, it is to he observed, when (lie began her depredations on our trade, was engaged in the most troublesome part of the war. The combined powers all then engaged against her ; convulsed by her own different parties within ; her navy low, and her means for railing it more so ; (lie had little chance to compel any nation, where (he could not march her armies by land, to fall into her schemes, other than by affedting their inte rest in whatever way (he could. America, though separated from her by the sea, which (he was not situated to pass in ftich numbers as would endanger our in dependence, while the naval power of Great Britain remained entire against her, was, nevertheless, (he saw, extremely vul nerable in her commercial* relations with that power. Just emerged from a state of slavery ; the private fortunes of her citieens red 'ced by the long ftagoation of the dif ferent branches of industry ; and incum bered with a cnnfiderable public debt, in curred in supporting the war which had set her free ; all her efforts were naturally bent, at the time when the French revolution be gun, to that single objedt of bettering her condition, by extending her trade ; there by encouraging her citizens to the acquire ment of individual wealth, the sure means of national prosperity, credit and strength. Great Britain, the mother country, from whom (he had just emancipated herfelf; with whom alone, almost, (he had formerly traded ; whole language was similar ; whose wants, from a long and habitual intercourse, had become reciprocal; and above all, whose enterpriling disposition had given her a commercial afcenddncy in all the four quarters of the world ; it was natural (liould gain her principal intercourse in that way. It was that intercourse which was to increase the wealth, the power and the consequence of any nation (except, herfelf ) but particu larly of Great Britain, that France dread ed, and in her feeret ambition.most heartily envied. Any thing, therefore, which would disturb and injure «ur trade, which she saw mull, from a thousand combining circum stances, be conaefted with, and tend to the aggrandizertient of that nation, it was easy to be perceived, would both oppress the one, and bring the other to co-«perate with her in the scheme of " banlruptcy," which was to produce their final ruin. To this scheme the conduct of some of our own citizens, at home, bore a .perfect correspondence. It was that commercial connection with Great Britain, it seems, that blind prejudice against that nation in opposition to our own irrtereft, which fills up a considerable part of those mfreprefen taiions of the fentimeots of the people of this country, which firft led France to aft against us. " Britifn mer chants and those trading an Britifb capitals" we find, clpfe the catalogue of that t,.n. temptihle feis}, who, it is represented to France, ave opposed to all tfcfe " landhoM ers and all that mighty mass of men of ta lents," who have loosed themfelres from their Lilliputian ties in gratitude to her. And while tliofe rtiifreprefentations were thus inviting FraAce into a war against tfur commerce* that war, certainly,°was best ' calculated, of all others, to make tools of us to that nation. The government of America, being a popular government, those who mifreprefatttd the fuitiments of the peo ple towards that government, to France, well knew tbemfelves, that to engage Ame rica in her feryice, it was firft necessary, in fact, to change the sentiments of the pwple— and that was to be no way more effedtually done, than by firft (tabbing their intereftj and then convincing them that that injury had been done them by the impoYicy and • wickedness of their ruled. Tin's co-operati on with the Frendg'fcheme we have seen for several years in tjfs country. Thus, my oilr trade ha* been destroyed, our HiWrefts injured, and our government censured, to make us over turn that government, and place ourselves in the fraternal, or rather infernal, grip of France.
