Asa portion of that band, whose bed efforts were employed to edablilh the sove reignty and independence of our country, we come, in the moment of impend nghol tility, trf offer the remnant of our lives to defend them. The rights and privileges of America were not purchased u ith the bed blood of her citizens, to be inglorioufly surrendered on the requisition of a foreign power. No, Sir, the spirit which procured, sur vives to protest them—And we rejoiae to behnjd that spirit pre-eminently displayed in the firm, virtuous and dignified condufl of the Federal Chief Magidrate. Our citi zensofall ages are emulous of this illustrious example; the exert ons of our youth declare that tliey have r.o degenerated, and afford an unqi.edionable affu ance that their noble inherrtancewillbe pre ft rved unimpaired, and transmitted inv olate to poflerity. The government of France, abandoning every principle on which their revolution was predicated, has exhibited a spirit of def potif.n unexampled in the VtiSory of nations. After perpetrating the tri"d unprovoked and unjtiftifiable wrongs againll the people of the United States, their rulers li3ve re jetted the reiterated advances of our go vernment towards an explanation of differ ences ; they have fpurntfd cur messengers of peace, and they have fuperadded insult to injury, in the exaftion of an ignominious tribute, which they hoped to extort by base intrigue, er to enforce byimperious menace. As Americans, and as men, having a common inured in the welfare oftheworld, we rejoice that these outrages againd its happiness have been refilled. To the prudence, moderation and libera lityof those meafiircs of your aftminiftr.tion, Sir, which we are convinced were lincerely ' direaed to the attainment of an honorable ' peace, we render the approbation of citi zens wh - juflly appreciate that desirable po fition. To your vigilance and virtue, which have detefled and repelled the attempts of ' avarice and ambition, on the part of the ' French gov roment, against the United 1 Siates, we»ffr the tribute cf an higher applause. We defiie to express the cfteem and gratitude of cit'zens, who hold every ' confideraiion as secondary toihe sovereign 1 ty and irdepende ce of our contury—for C „ the maintenance f which, and in support . of every measure of our government that may be deemed necessary to protest the r persons, privileges, and property of our ci- 0 tizens, we do hereby pledge to you the ' solemn assurance of our utmost exert ionß. v Signed by order, and on belalf of , tie society, THOMAS MIFFLIN, President. | To which the President of the United States - was plea ed to make the annexed ANSWER. c To thi Pennfytvania State Society of the Cin cinnati.

As it is but too manifeft that unlawful dr. predations on our commerce will be con- j tinued, as long as it fliall remain unproteft- ] fd, so it is equally clear that all hopes of accommodation are at an end, until you and j your affociares throughout the union, at the j head of the rising generation, who are wor thy to succeed you, (hall have drawn your j {words, once more in the cause of your [ | "" ' ceunry, and defended its jul ard I iovcritg'Uy by your lumoit exertions. | for yob health and long lite, and th.it your ! latter days may be crowned with laurels, as unfading as the former. JOHN ADAMS, l- Philadelphia, July 4, 1798. - * ——— The following Address of the Legifla- ture of New-Hampshire to the l'refi in j dent ofthe United States, was agreed n ' to by the Hoqfe of Representatives, 136 members present, and four only voting in the negative —in the Senate (j it was unanimously adopted. \ Address »f the Legi/lature of New-Hampshire, TO THE PRESIDENT tj the UNITED STATES. SIR, AT a time when the American nation is on the point of being drawn into the vortex of European war, we flatter ourfelvea that an address from the I.egiflature of New- Hampshire will not be unacceptable. ' Permit us, Sic, to express our entire satis* [l _ faftion in the wisdom and energy of your adininiflration, and that of your predecessor. unremitted perseverance whi' h has c _ marked your endeavors to adjust and fettle our disputes with France, difplavs, in the I strongest colours, your desires of peace. 0 Although the political fituatio* of this country is diflrefling and alarming j yet no ■a mea^ures on y our P art have been wanting that could honorably render it otherwise. We consider the inflriiftions given our En voys as fufficient and ample for every pur . pose of honorable and equitable negociation. Q We feel the indignity that has been offered them ; we feel, with resentment, the wrongs and injuries done our commerce by French depredations. A firm requefl and dignified demand have e not procured redress ; and we add, with re -1 gret that we fear the apparent disposition c of the government of France renders further j Rtgociation unnecessary. We do not tax ourfelvcs wirhjingratitude to the French na tion ; that debt which wecontradled under the monarchy of France, has antici pated and paid to the executive govern- I ment of that country ; and it will always j be recollefted that we were the lirft nation to acknowledge the republic of France. It is with pleasure we contemplate the increasing firmnefs of our national legisla ture : by union our independence can be r maintained ; by division it is loft forever. ' To divide and conquer, has been, we are sensible, too oft»n fuccefsfully praftifed, I j to the deftru&ion of governments and ua- 1 tions j but we arc happy to assure you, that 1 the opposition in the state of New-Hamp- 1 (hire to (he adminifiration of the federal go- 1 J vernment, is much too coutemptible to merit ; t the name of division. Although we deprecate the evilg and ; ' scourges of war; yet, Sir, we more sensibly \ feel the insults offered the dignity of our country. Our independence was won and eflablifhcd by the blood and fatigues of the brave—it is a boon which we will never 1 facrifice at the shrine of foreign rapacious c ambition. If declining Rome bought her ' peace of the ancient Gauls with money, yet J. we shall never give our consent to pay a dif graceful tribute to Guals more modern.- r When our Country calls, our war-worn sol- t diars, and the hardy youth of our hills, at the firft found of the clarion of danger, will cheerfully and unitedly rally round the " flandard of American independence, and de- /, fend it with their blood. The diforganizer t, may seek for preteftion under the colours p of France ; bu' as for us and our conllitu ents, we will shelter ou-'felves under the wings of the American Eagle. v Accept, Sir, our united declaration ta 8 fupporc and defend the constituted authori- V ties of our country with our lives and for- 8 tunes ; accept our warmed wishes for your [j personal welfare and happiness : long may p you continue to watch over the fafety of the ' community. r To the Legi/lature of Netv-Hampfhire. | GENTLEMIN, | My mod refpeilfuland affe&ionate thanks v are due to your two honourable houses for t an address transmitted to me by yonr excel- a lent governor and presented to me by your 1 representatives in Congress. The American nation appears to me as it do sto you, on 1 the point of being drawn into the vortex of 1 European war—your entire fatisfa&ion in ' f the adminiftratir.ll of the federal government 1 and in the perseverance which has marked 1 its endeavours to adjust our dilputes with ' France is very me—diftreffing , and alarming as the political situation of this t country is, lam confcious-that no meafuies t on my part havfc been wanting that could 1 have honorably rendered it otherwise. The ' indignities which have been so repeat- ' edly offered to our ambassadors, the great- ! eft of which is the lad unexampled insult, , in choosing out one of the three, and t discarding the other two, the wrongs 1 and injuries to our commerce, by French 1 depredations, the legal declaration in 1 effeft of hostilities against all tur com- 1 merce and the apparent disposition of the , government of France render further nego ciation not only nugatory but difgraceful 1 and ruinous You may tax the French gov- 1 ernment with ingratitude with much 1 justice than yourselves. The increasing u- ' nion among the people and their legislatures, ! is as encouraging as it is agreeable. The , piecept "divide and conqutr" was never 1 exemplified in the eyes of mankird in so flri- 1 king and remarkable a manner, as of late in Europe I Every old republic has fallen 1 before it—if America has not spirit and : sense enough to learn wisdom from the ex- 1 ample of* so many republican catastrophes I paffm? in review before her eyes, (lie de- I serves to fuffer and most ctftairly will fell. ■ lam happy to assure you, that as far as my ' | information txtends, the oppofiticn to the j ! federal government in all the other dates as well aa in New Hampshire ia too small to 1 "(1 merit, tSensme of diTtfion ; it is a differ tnee of fefitimcnton public meafuret, oat es ad ali: nation ct affciSior 10-tlieir ur The war-worn foldicrt, and the brate and at hardy sons of New-Hamplhire, second to none in Still, emerprize or courage in war, will never iurreiidcr the independence, or consent to the difho-ior of their country. I return my warmed wifhesfor your health l- and happinefa. I. JOHN ADAMS, j Philadelphia, June 29, 1798. S ' CONGRESS. Tuefdav, the House of Representatives of ;e the United States, parted the bill further to protett the Commerce of the United States, 46 votes being in favourofit. Mr. Harper said, he held in his hand cer '• tain resolution? vyith refpefl to the defence of the country, which he thought it would te important to adopt; because he considered Congress as having resolved upon repelling is and resisting the pretensions of a power which • x he had no idea, and which he could not sup- Jt pole any gentleman had reason to expect would recede from the terms of tribute which tliey had offered. Having therefore'a know ledge ot the force, the pride, and the perfe s- verance of oar enemy, whi Ift we are not dif ir mayed by, their power and their spirit, we r , ought to view it in all its magnitude, to pre ls pare fora vigorous firugglein meeting it, and I to redd the extravagant pretensions of that na tion. That we maybe thus prepared, he of c fered the following resolutions to the confide- I "• ration of the House : Is Rofol<vrJ, That it is expedient to augment 0 the Provisional Army of the United Stares to fifty thousand men. , Resolved, That it is expedient to enable the President of the United States to proceed, whenever he ifaall judge it conducive to the - public welfare, to the appointment of all the 1. Officersof the said Army, and the organiza ] tion of irs Staff: Inch Officers not to be on pay s till called into actual service. R.ifll'ved, That it is expedient ro enable the 1 President of the United States to raifc im mediately, and bring into adhial service, one e division of the said army, to confiftof not more - than twelve thousand five hundred men. j Resolved, That it isexpedient to enable the r President of the United States te raise and bring I into actual service, all or any part ot the rc ' 1 maining divisions of the said army, in cafe of * i invasion of any part of the territory oftheUni rl ted States, qr of imminent danger of such in - ' vafion, in his opinion conceired to exist. . | Rcfnhrd, Tlint it is expedient to enable , t the President of the United States to raise I immediately, and bring into aCUial service, a 1 | corps of non-commiflioned officers for those 1 divisions of the said army which may not be ; immediately raifsd : the (aid corps not to ex ceed the number ot twelve hundred, and to do duty asa separate corps of the army, until their services in all or any of the said divisions : shall be required. RefcflveJ, That it is expedient to enable the Pr#- fident of tfie U. Statei to obtain by purchase, loan or other contract, for the use of the United States, any number ef vefTels of war, not exceeding ten, in ad dition to those heretofore authorized by law, and of such force, not less than thirty-two guns each, as he may judge advaritageo*s for the public service, and I to man and equip the fame. RefofotJ, That it is expedient,to enable the Pre . fide t of the United States to cftablifh one or more dock-yards for the use of the United States, with ; suitable buildings for marine stores, arsenals and magazines. Ordered to lie on the table till this day. Mr. Livingston again laid the resolution upon the table which he otfered and with drew yesterday, prbpofingan address to the President. He said he should not himfelf call it up at present; but if any other gentleman chose to do so, he should not object to it. The Sysaxer said, that gentleman must know that when a propofiti n is offered to the House, it is offered for decifi'on,. The queflion being loudly called for Mr. Kittera wished to propose an amend ment to this resolution, in the following words, viz. " and in cafe the said Ermv/Jball have been ordered out <if {he French Republic, or taken into cuflody, then niiih such Other person or persons as the French Directory may feleil." Mr. Thatcher leconded the motion. Mr. Harrison hoped the yeas and nays would be taken upon this amendment. A greed. f Mr. N. Smith wai sorry thii motion was made. * He thought it playing with treafou. Nor could he • ?';ivean affirmative vote on any amendment 10 so in- amoiis a resolution. (rt call to O'der) He said he should be conttruned 10 voteagiinft the amendment, c piopofed, and vuh equalrcadinefs should voceigainlt the resolution. t Mr. Otis hoped the mover of this amend- ' ment would withdraw it. It could only have ® been intended to cafl acenfureupon the Refo- " lution—a censure much milder than he should himfelf have been inclined to cast upon it, ' which having been done, he trusted the gen- f tleman would not place his friends in so dif- - agreeable a fituatiou as to be obliged to vote upon it. Mr. Kittera said, the house muit have ' seen his objeil in making this motion. The " resolution which had been laid upon the table 1 by the gentleman front New York, was so ab- ° horrent to all his ideas of propriety, that he ' had taken this mode of (hewing his difappro- bation of it, in the strongest manner in which c he could do it. We have, said he, sent three Envoys to the French Republic in order to lerminateour differences with that Nation; ■ but the Directory havenot chosen to treat with these three Covnmillioners, buthaveinfulting ly feletted one from amoii'ft them, with whom they fay they are ready to treat, but c upon the terms offered to all the three. If t this one Envoy should be sent off, or impri- t foned, therefore before the frefh inftruftions t which the gentleman from New York wishes to be sent off should be received, it would be prefer that the Directory (hould make choice - offome other person with whom they will be willing to treat. Having, however, (hewn his pointed dislike of the proposition before the house, by the present motion, he would withdraw it. Mr. Livingston said, he would not have troubled the house with any farther observa tions on this motion, if »ot forced to do it by certain expreflions which had been used re fpeiting it. One gentleman has called it ar. infamous resolution ; another had said that the motion which had been made and withdrawn, was too mild a censure upon it ; another gen tleman looked upon it with abhorrence. If this resolution is so extremely abhorrent, he (hould have been glad it gentlemen would have condef«en<Kd to have (hewn wherein its abhorrence lies. What is this resolution. Doe;, it tend to dishonour this country, by propo sing to agree with any degrading terms offered by the Direttory ! No such thing, What is it, but to request the President of the United States to in(tru£t the Envoy, whom he himfelf appointed, to make such a treaty with France , as (hall be confident with our honour and in terest > Yet this resolution is called infamous. 1 If this term was applicable to his motion, he was ignorant of the meaning of words. T[ic SfBAKE* said, as rhp from t Connecticut, who midc afc of this<xpreffion, hats been called to order, any remarks upon , it u ere cijwally out of order. , Mjr. L. said he would make no comments 3 upon it, but confine his remarks to the relolu , tons itfelf, It was his delirc, if pollible, to j prevent a war with France, which mull in volve this country in great distress—which may, perhaps, deilroy it, all for the fake of a punctilio. IJe was not ashamed of this opini on any where. It would be for the interest, for the dignity of this country, to conclude an honourable peace with France ; more so than any War which we could pofiibly wage. The fate of War mult be doubtful —the ho nour of it extremely so. For his part, he fa w f none that could be derived from war. He 0 wished to avoid it, if it could be avoided , with honour. He was far from proposing to preserve Peace jit the expenceot our honour. - All he wished Envoy at present f in Paris should, jf poflible, make a treaty ® founded upon theinftrudtions originally given. \ Is there, exclaimed he, any thing so extreme r ly bad in this ? On the contrary, he knew it 1 was thi wirti of a majority of the people of . this country that a treaty should, if poflible, \ be nude, and by that means prevent the ne- ceflity of a war. Bur it should seem as if gentlemen were ready to fay, that it is better to go to war, tha : that one of our Envoy? should make a treity for us, a* if they » were ready to draw the sword, because three fcals cannot be put to a treaty, i iftead of one. He was [ not for doing this, nor were his constituents : nor did he believe that either &e tr they should ever be ashamed of this resolution. It would alway.* be a ' consolation to hirn that he had endeavoured to pre serve the peace of the country, so long as it could conftflently be done. | It was altogether a misrepresentation, Mr L. I said, to insinuate that the pe ion whom he wished j to be inftru<fted to treat, was appointed by the Di- ' re&ory; he was chosen by the President of the U. j States, and commifiioned by him with fuparate ; powers. And yet this man, thus appointed, is fpok- ! en of as a man chosen by the Executive Dire&ory of France! He wished gentlemen to reconcile his to themselves ; he could not do it. Mr. Matthews thought this resolution ought to be explained, before gentlemen were called to vote upon it. He therefore moved the following a mendment ? " Wbe eas this House has tofi all confidence in tffe President of the United Stahs, and his deftre of plunging this country in all the horrors of War with our goodfriends, isfo evident, therefore ref.lved, life.
