I ask, said he , what would have been tlone with i a rr inifter (roing from thi-J countrv to Frjrne, ' who acted in like manner? wou'd he not have been guillotined, even without the shadow of a trial ? Again, would that miniller have appeal ed frotn the executive to the people, had he not been persuaded the people were opposed to their government ? and who are these peopl • ? Can ihev be called friffids to their Has not the feeble minorities and ihis idea of 'the people <witb us, been the canfe of the French nation making dtpredati' n6 on our eommer e, and thereby }>rodncin£ a loss to our citizen* to the amount of fix millions of dollars ? Had not that Wea.ftid he, induced the Briylh to believe m the year that this cftuntry would en gage in J waragainft them in favour of France,; and their taking !or this would be the cafe, was the reafen wh) they made the de predations on our commerce which they did But the Brinfh fnding that our government was 3etermined «to fupp;irt their neutrality, and would go to war in cafe the insult was continued, theydefifted ; and so would the French natioir have done, had not a party exifled among our selves, who were conllantly buzzing in the ears of the rulers in France, that the people were op posed, to their governm nt. What wasfaicfrto our late minister to France by fbeir minister, was jfufficient to (hew this. But how has it operat ed ? the French have been deceived, and their Wif'appointment has cauf?d them to do what they would not otherwise have done. 'I hey had' bean I'd to believe, that through the influ ence of certain gentlemen, tie yeomanry of our country would do anything for 'hem, even en ter into a war in their favour in eppofition to Iheir own government. In this thev hav been disappointed, and this had texed thein, so as to fall on otir defencHefn commerce. When men are vexed, they will commit excefTes j in stance the member from V.rmnijt j th fe ideas bad set him-to a<£l like a crazy nun ;he said that the memb rs in this house were ailing a gainll the opinion of n'me tenths of the p.-ople who sent them, and declared in the next breath that be could in fix months change their opin ion. If he had attended to, or baljeved what he had said. th* people did not want to be chang ed, at.le.fl nine out often. Lbelt.eve it was the wish of the yeom »nry of •or country that the French people should ob tain their independenee, but not te be lugged imo a war on that account. But for any per fens to iay tfce French nation might (e>y the peo ple's opp fit ion to our government) expefl mu h frost the people, or that they would en gase in a war in their favour, not Only void of truth, bur calculated to do much mifchief ; and this we have experienced. To this we may attribute the d fficulties that have arisen from the tranfaiili ns of our own people, arising from f .hie minorities, and the idea of the people with w Again—this idea of " the people with us," i« unfoun ed in fail. In th« last feflion ofcon grel's. Ihe number who voted on a question rela tive to the rondutft of our government being jtift and impa'tial to foreign nations, there were jit for it, and only 45 against it. On what principle then, can that gentleman fay " the people are ivith us ?" These obfervationt are not only unfounded, but have been attended with the woril effedls to our country. The as sertion has encouraged privateers being fitted out here ; f am told of a Angle company who fitted our our Our merchants have hid six ty me veflels taken by them, and only three w< e raptured belonging to the EngliSi.

Beside this, our merchants have been so plundered, that numerou engagements have not been complied with, »r.d the money is gone from our country : this has occafionefl innumerable law suits, and many of onr ho-eft 11, d flrious farmers, <vill have to fell their farms, and all this, from feeble minorities and the idea of the people with us. I *fk,faid Mr. W. if their sppoflt ivs had not car ried them fufficiently far into difficulties, and if it was not high time to baufe ? Let us,' as the gentleman laid from Comie<?Vci)t the o her lay, reafen together Sox the good of the whole. The gentltmin from Virginia (Mr. Nicholas) had coi.eluded his obfervationi, with a good deter mination ; v.hTch was, that he would defend his country in e;>f of an invasion. Mr. W observed that he hi ped every one would do the fame, tho" he did not iivagine an invasion for the purpo r e of fiibjugation would take place. What European nation, said he would come three thousand miles for such purpcfei Wehave upwards ol Cne mill ion rejfablicans, who, to repel an enemy, would embody ; the want of difcipl-ne would be fsppli ed with the fpiritof'76, and the yeomanry of Our c untry would come dowfa like a mighty torrent, an would sweep the bold invader to the deep. Thefe.ifibilityof our country, Mr. Williams be lieved. was dsterm -ned to vindicate its rights with jfirmnr/j, and ca tiva'.e peace with feeurHy, Bxt, said he, does America wish for war ? God forbid, if any mc-ani fiiort of th» surrender of our rights, freedom, religion an.l propeity can purchase peace, let us do it—he was lor it. War is to be dreaded : it was a'tended with a train Of innume rable evils—But rather than to give up all, will we not unite to repel unmerited infnlts if not put a flop to ? Yes—He contended tha! a day of virtuous liberty, was worth an age in bondage. Gentlemen had said that our government would eaufe a war with Spain, but how have they been mistaken ! Our government hid spoke to Spain in the American language ; they heard, and peace was the consequence. Had the fame language been spoken to France, and no freble minorities, no ideaof tit people viith us, they would also have heard, and twenty millions would have been saved. Upon the whole—lt is not contended, butthat this house has a right to fix the sums neceflary to be paid to the miniflert according to their grade, aid the courts to which they are sent. i his was the conflitutianal check vetted in the hcufe of rep refrntatives; and notwithflanding the falarics have not been augmented since the year > 790, he w?.» willing to go into the enquiry, and if found too much, woald vote for a reduilion, and i necefla ry, to diflinguifh the lum« 10 be allowed them ac cording to the different places to which they are sent. To a<sl on th*. grouni, he conceived to be agreeable to the spirit and letter of the eonltitution, *nd he was for allowing them no more than was eonceived to be reasonable ; and on this principle we could use the check given us by the constitu tion, and we ought not to overleap the bounds as tgned s uthcrein-j for while we, as one branch of the legislature, would scorn to be dictated by any other, feeling the sense of our own dignity ; fn ( 'batfource of dignity ought to teach ustoaßflais from dilating to another braDth as independent as we arc.

They are fa aceuf- ( torned to viftory and making laws, that , there is scarcely any moderation or bounds , to theif terms in many safes. England is ( ' however, the' only nation that has not as yet j ' received their yoke—Portugal has ratified j . the late peace, butasfhedid not do it in , , the time limited, it is thought the ratifica tion will not be accepted without an addi tional facrifice or humiliation." ' ExtraS of a letter from a gentleman at Bour- ' dtaux, who had jujf left.Paris, dated Sth November 1797. 1 « Times are very critical here for Amen- ( can affairs, and the arrival of the commis sioners is of no effeft. I waited on them fc x veral times at Paris, and the day before I ' ! left it, had a long conference with one of " ! them, the fulsftance of which I do not think !i j prudent to pwt in this letter as its fate is un lf certain; but they are certainly treated with the hiolt (hameful pegleft. At the fame time, our commerce is fufferrng in the most e alarming manner, and you may (hortly ex :r pest to hear of a vast number of condemna tions; for although they ftiould be acquitted in she inferior tribunals, the court of caffa ,] tion will condemn them; ano the decree c which gives a right to individuals to fit out 1- national (hips will considerably increase their 8 cruisers."
