X R*FLECTIONS ON MONIOE'S " VlgW." No. 111. On the 2d Augaft 1794, Mr. Moaroear x rived at Paris, .the fuceelfor of Mr. G. Mor ris, who had imprudently displeased the re public, and who for that reason, at the re quest of the committee of fafety, hnd been reoailed. He carried with him ample.tefti- 1 * monies of the sincere good will of all the <k p«rtire;ts of the gO'vet-rtflfieftT of the United * to the French nation, and to the re volution injvh chit wis engaged. On the x 14th of Atignfl, iie was admitted into the hall of the convention* when he prelented. x his credentials and delivered the declarations x" of the frnate and house of rcprefentative* with which he was eharged, and at the fame time allured the convention that the Presi dent was a&uattd by limilar i'entiments. In giving an account of this tranfa&ion on the 25th of the fame month, he writes thus x " The communication was received in a manner very interesting, and which furnifh ed at the fame time, the llrongeft proof of * the affedtion entertained by the French na-. tion for the United States of America.— x The enclosed, No. 3, is a copy of my ad- ■ dress to the convention, and of the presi dent's answer. Every department has fioce /hewn thrjlnngejt difpojiiion to prove its at tachment to their ally, by embracing every x opportunity which the (lighted incident has offered"—(page 17). This disposition so propitious to America, when his miniftcrial x functions were commenced, caimot be attri buted to him, as he fceais to wilh his readers " -to believe ; forasyethe had only been receiy-, ' ed or acknowledged : nor is it confident with what he ftatfS in his view, when he fays that he found on his arrival, " that the work of alienation jind - disunion "had ' been carried further than he had before fiif- 0 c pefled," and " that things werp in a tram for an entire separation of the two coun tries"— (page 7). It is remarkable that Mr. Monroe did t»ot intimate to the execu tive any difatisfaftfon of the French coun cils with the American administration, until 0 in his letter of the 12th February 1795, more than fix months after his arrival, when _ he had occasion to apologize for some of e his misdoings, which had been reprimanded y by the executive on the 2d of December J j. 1 794- No such thing is to be found in his i Jj; letters dated 15th September, 16th OtStober, 7th November, 20th November, or 2d De- i f cember, 1794. I cannot therefore but 1 e think that Mr. Monroe has not in his book, represented with candour, the dispositions t of France during the firft months of his mis- t fion, and that he is Hill more in the wrong 1 when he arrogates to himfelf the merit of t impressing the convention with fcntiment3 c y of moderation and justice towards the Uait- r . ed States. The favorable disposition« f - the republic proceeded from the state of c public affaire at tk«t time-. Rubcfpicrre and c " the of terrrorifts had been just cut c s off; -the armies were every where vidtorious, i and thus secure at home, and prosperous , abroad, a spirit of moderation and equity n " prevailed in the convention for a little while, t and was pervading France : Besides there si was a real want of provisions. Under such c circumstances, it was impossible not to ob- o tainpromifes of fatisfaiftion for all our just e complaints, as well as a removal of the caaf- n es from whence they had arisen ; and thus p the alterations for the better, which took c place at this period, were the natural result p of public events, and not the consequence o of our ministers' exertions,as he most vainly d pretends. ft , The firft aA of mifconduft which I have w f proposed to illustrate is, that he represent ed to the committee of public fafety that ai ; he was not inftrufted to complain of the de- 1 ; cree of May 1793, which dispensing with it some of the articles of the treaty of amity 1 and commerce, was attended with the most h: j ruinous effefts on the American commerce. t*<j This is immediately connetSed with the fe- h cond—his information to the committee, it that he •we/Iknew, that if upon experience it should be their opinion that it produced any fa solid good to the republic to disregard thole ct articles of the treaty, the American govern- It ment and his countrymen would not only ac bear with the departure with patience, but tfc vtithpleafure. These are so united in the cl documents, that they (hall be considered to- tb gether. w A decree of the French republic had been w made in May 1793» authorizing the seizure tb of enemy's property in neutral veflels, which at was in force when minister Monroe arrived in in Paris, and under which the Americans th had fuffered and were fuffering much vexa- Pi t:on and injury in their commerce. His pre, of deceffor it appears, by several letters ef the th Secretary of the State, had remonstrated a gainst it, and was endeavouring to produce Pi a repeal of it when he fuperceded ; and th not only the existence of the decree, bift w the ruinous effects of it were notorious from hi one end of the continent to the other. Up- Ui ) 011 this fubjeft the Secretary of State wrote ej to Mr. Monroe on the 10th June, as sol- hi lows : " But yon vfrill go farther and insist ec »pon compensation for the captures and spo liations of ojif Jiropetty and injuries to the at pt rfoil9 of ouf citizens, by -Freneh oruif- lu (p«?e 5) > an( ' on the 30th of Ju- vj ly, as follows : "The cases of spoliation ca and vexitiort from the French cruisers on li^ our trade, I again most eameftly recommend m to your anxious attention.
