S PHILADELPHIA,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, JAb'UART 16
The following is from the Critical Re
view, a Democratic publication.
NORTH-AMERICA.
THE negotiations between the American
and French republics have excited so much
attention, that our readers will not be dif
. pleased if we enter into some detail upon the
. fubjeft.
An important meflage from the president
• of the United States, was communicated, on
the 19th of March, to the two legislative
" aflemblies. The substance of it may thus
. be stated. Though the exertions of the
American envoys for the adjustment of all
differences were sincere and unremitted, .there
\ was no ground of expectation that the ob
[ jests of their million would be accomplished
on terms compatible with the honor or fafe
tyof the nation. It was therefore neceflary
that the two councils Ihonld adopt such mea
sures as would tend to the protection of fea
faring and trading citizens, to the increase
of the stores of war, and the defence of ex
posed portions of territory ; and (hould pro
vide supplies for defraying extraordinary ex
pellees, and compenlating the deficiencies
winch might be occationed by depredations
on commerce. They were particularly con
jured by the proficient to manifelt, in all their
proceedings, such zeal, vigor, and concert,
. in defence of the national rights, as might be
proportioned to the danger with which those
rights were threatened. /
At the desire of the houle of representa
tives, the president submitted the dispatches
of the envoys to' the infpeftion of the legis
lative body. The contents of these papers
are curious.
Frcnr* th-fe documents it appeirs, that ge
neral Pincfcney and his diplomatic associates
(Marlhall and Gerry) were treated, 011 t,heir
arrival at Paris*, with great difrelpett j that
some observations made by the president f in
a fpeech'to the cengrefs had given offence
to the direftory J , and that an apologetic
explanation was demanded, as a preliminary
to negotiatory conferences. The perl'on who
intimated this demand, added, that a sum
of money would be necciTary to secure a
favorable reception from the direftory, and
that a considerable loan would alft lie ex
pedient. Another ageru, the confidential
friend of the minifler Talleyrand, inform
ed the envoys, that, when an explicit apo
logy Ihould have been made, the French
republic would prepare for the completion of
a treaty, which Ihould place the two states
in the the fame predicament with regard to
each other, in which they flood in the year
1778 ; or, in other words, a treaty which
would allow the French the fame advantages
that were enjoyed by the Englifli in their
trade with the fubje&s of the United States;
but that an eflentinl part of the agreemerit
would be the advance of money. This loan,
he observed, might be so disguised, that the
British court, which might otherwise consi
der is as a breach of neutrality, woulch not be
offended. When he was alked whether the
direftory might not be induced to recede
from the demand of an apology, he replied,
that he knew only one mode of application
which would ten; c them to wave it that
was, the offer of money. The spirit of for
did rapacity which was thus exhibited, dis
gusted the envoys; and having expressed
their surprize at such demands, they request
ed time for consulting theit employers, pro
mising, that, if the French would desist
from all captures of American Chips, one of
the three should make an immediate voyage
for additional inftru&ions. The agent was
diflatisfied with this proposal, and reverting
to the requisition of an apology, he flefired
to kno# whether the miniflers were ready to
comply. They answered, that they had no
power to invalidate any part of the Presi
dent's speech : that such an attempt would
cxpofe them to the risque of recall ; and that
even if they Ihould disavow the offenlive pas
sages, tlie public opinion refptAing the
public opinion refpe£ting the truth of the
imputations would ftil: remain the fame.
The former ot the two agents, in an inter
view which took place soon after the signa
ture oft'* definitive treaty with the emper
or* affirmed, that the directory had, since
that peace, alTumed a higher and more deci
ftve tone towards neutral powers than had
before been used, and intended to treat* as e
nemies all nations which (hould refufe to af
fill the French. He therefore urged the ex
pediency of submission ; but Mr. Pinckney
declared that he could not acquiesce ; and
that if the French should attack his country
men, they nuift have recourse to the bed
means of felf dr-fence. The agent now re
newed the demand of pecuniary advances ; !
and he did not scruple to fay, that the rulers
of France had no regard to justice, and that
money alone could influence them. The en
voy ftliw relisted ; and when the Frenchman
warned them of the danger of refufal, and
boasted of tlu powo' of his country, they re
plied that they were fully sensible of those
points, and wilhed to he on friendly terms
with the nation ; but that America would
not purchase the friendfhip of any state by
the Surrender of her independence ; that (he
had a right to be neutral ; that to advance
money to a belligerent power would be to
*ln October, 1797. fl n May, 1797.
t The remarks that displeased the French
were those which referred to the aggressions
committed by them, and which were followed
by a spirited exhortation to the congress :
such attempts (said the president fought to
be repelled with a decision which shall con
vince France and the world, that -me are not
a degraded people, humiliated under a colo
nial sense of fear, fitted to be the miserable
instruments of foreign influence, and re
gardless of national honour, character, and
interest.'
deviate from her neutrality ; that to agree
to such a loan, • under the faftatid coertion
of France, would be to relinquish the go
vernment of herfelf, and lubiviittoa foreign
government imposed by force and that, if
Ihe could tamely fuffer her rights to be invad
ed, her reputation would be irretrievably
loft.
A private conference f on followed be
tween Mr. Gerry and M. Talleyrand. The
French minifterpropofed,that 50,000 pounds
sterling .Ihould be given without delay by
way of douceur ; a*d that one of the envoys
Ihould return to America to procure the as
sent of the congress to a loan ; but he de
clared, that, in the mean time, the directory
would not receive the two other ministers,
and that the commercial depredations were
not to be discontinued. This arrogant and
domineering behaviour could not be expeCted
to prove fuccefsful.
The friend of Talleyrand afterwards m?de
an attempt which he termed ' a last effort to
serve' the effvoys, though ?! tended to the
enforcement of ignominious terms. He
called their attention to the litivation of thi
United States, and to the power of France.
He hoped that they would not deceive them
selves with the idea of a full ability of retilt
anre, on the part of their countrymen, but
would refleCt on the fate ot Venice, which
njight soon be that of the American repub
lic. They might perhaps trull, he said, to
the probability of a league with Great-Bri
tain ; but such confidence would be fallacious.
An army of 150,000 men, commanded by
the gallant and able Buonaparte, might be
erinbled to invade this island ; in which event
a complete couqueft would ensue : or, if the
invalion (lionld not take place, the alarm
which the menace of a defceijt would diffufe
through tbe realm, would occaiion such
enormous expences as would drive the mi
nistry into a peace. But, even if the Engli(h
should be able to continue the war, and the
Americans should join them, they would not
have any opportunity of inflicting much in-*
jury upon France. On the other hand, the
advantages which the United States might
derive from an acquiescence in the dt fires of
the French, would be very conliderable, and,
in cafe of the deftruCtlon of the Britifli go
vernment, would be particularly great, as
the wealth and arts of the English would pass
over to America.
The delegates of the congress were un
moved by these representations, and disdain
ed the thoughts of fubmiflion. They re
plied, that the treatment received by the
Americans from the French proved an ill
return for that friendfhip of which the for
mer had given unequivocal testimonies, at a
time when the latter were threatened with
ruin by a confederacy so powerful and so
decidedly hostile, that it was tven dangerous
to be on terms of amity with them.
To a state thus friendly, 1 what (said the.
envoys, in a style of manly, indignant, and
jiift reproach) is the conduit and the lan
guage of France ? Wherever our property
can be found, Ihe seizes it, unprovoked, (he
determines to treat us as enemies ; and our
non-refiflance produces no diminution of hos
tility against us ; she abuses and insults our
government, endeavors to weaken it in the
estimation of the people, recalls her own mi
nister, refufes to receive our's; and, Wheti
extraordinary means are taken to make such
explanations as may remove
ings, and such alterations in the exifting're
lations of the two countries as may tend to
produce harmony, the envoys who beSr these
powers, are not permitted to utter the ami
cable wishes of their country ; but it it inti
mated to therein the haughty style of a mas
ter, thit unlets they will pay a sum to which
their resources scarcely e xteijd, the United
States may expert, like Venice, to be| erased
from the lift of nations ; that France will an
nihilate the only free republic upon earth,
and the only nation in the universe which has
manifeftpd for her a cordial friendfhip 1' This
short statement exhibits a (hiking picture of
French insolence, ingratitude, and iniquity.
In this unsettled state the negociation re
mained during the winter. At lengjh the
envoys being again desired to declare,' whe
ther they would accept or rejeit the offered
terms, Messrs. Pinckneyand Marshall chose
the latter part of the alternative. Their de
parture from Fnance was the colifequence of
their refufal; but Mr, Gerry, it is said, has
been permitted to remain. All parties must
unite in condemning the conduCl of the
French on this Occasion. Disgusting haughti
ness, unprincipled rapacity, and gross injus
tice, mark their proceedings. The Ameri
cans, on the contrary, have teftified a regard
both to prudence and honor. They have ftu.
dioufly labored to avoid a war ; but, if they
should be driven to that extremity, they have
both the spirit and the power to defend
themselves.

Lord Cornwallis has at length determined
to a£t rigorously against the rebels. His last
amnesty expired yefterdav, and to-morrow,
1000 men march towards Wexford, to fet
tle that miserable country.
In an address presented to him 011 Thurs
day from the Nobility and Gentry of that
county, the following strong fact was stated :
" O' 53° persons relieved by the Coinmil
fioners for aiding the fuffering loyali.'ts, 452
have been the widows of murdered county of
Wexford Piotc-ftants." His Excellency as
sured them that such measures had been tak
en, as promiled to relieve that unhappy coun
ty- 1 . ,
The daring and defjierate ravager Holt,
after having so long set the powers of gov
ernment at defiance—-and rioted in the blood
and plunder of the lttyal inhabitants of the
Counties of Wicklow, Wexford,' Carlow,
and Kildare, has, we hear, recently had the
audacity to fend proposals of capitulation to
Government, for the pardon of Jiimfelf and
hi. gatjg, finding such measures arc on foot,
as to render his (Jeftruftion utterly inevitable;
but those ] )pofals have been treated with
the contempt theydelerve.
Such decilive steps willbe immediately tak
en towards this sanguinary miscreant and his
rapacious follower:, as well as towards the
numerous petty gangs who have for some
time past perpetrated nuroberlefs murders and
robberies in his name, as nnift by a terrible
example convince wretches of their descrip
tion, that the justice of the Country cannot
long, with impunity, be trifled with.
VienNa, oa. 17.
According to the latest intelligence receiv
ed from Malta, it is reported that the French
were still occupying the castle St. Elmo,
though they offered to capitulate, which was
retufed by the Maltefians, and requested to
surrender at discretion. Tl.eir number which
amounted to 5000 men according to the de
claration of General Buonaparte, is at pre
sent greatly decreased. The national cock
ade is at present every where torn off from
the French, and the arms of Malta again re
instated ; it is however for the present with
out foundation, that the Ruffians landed, »r
were even seen before Malta with the English,
or conquered Valette, though it is expected
that it will take place before long.
The news that forty thousand Ruffians
which arc to serve as English auxiliary troops
against Holland, were embarked at Revel,
was also in circulation.
When this paper went to prefi it was re
ported that intelligence was received that
general Buonaparte had surrendered himfelf
with his troops by capitulation. This wants
special confirmation.

The declaration of war on »he part of En

trade will greatly fuffer by it.
It is reported that an English fqnadron has

port of Spezzia is garrisoned by French troops
for its protection.

and wounded in the foot, but contrived to

just jble to mount, and thus for the present
eluded the puniftiment that awaits him.
