"1 HERE is no topic more completely be longing to the regions ot common place than that upon the lapse of time, and yet'there it none to which we are more irreliftably brought when writing after a considerable interval to an abient fnend. Even at this moment I can scarcely reahze to myfclf the idea, that the day after to-morrow will close thirty one months since we parted. I n the intervening penod what mighty revolutions have taken place in the affairs of Europfe ! revolutions however as well known to you as to me • and which, even then, were to be expefted! You are so well acquainted with my fenti ments, that it would be fuperfiuous to tell you, how much I have been delighted with the fpint which has at length discovered it felt in our country. Had it appeared in co lorsequally glowing a year earlier, we should at th.s moment have been in the full posses. ot ofe neutral rights, which an over weamng fondnefs, and an ill-judged adminu t.on of one foreign" power, and an unwise impolitic bitt;rnefs and inveteracy aganift another have deprived „s of. A rational feif-efteero, is as necelTary to the dignified condua ot a nation as of an individual The language or the conduft of mean fubniffion and avowed subserviency, are not calculated to obtain the cla.ms of juflice. A fawninc cring.ng servilely adoring public a R . nt ' (Monroe) though at the fame time he would .lcem a patron of liberty, hadgi ven to our country in France, the part of a mean suitor and the natural consequence was, that her entreaties were spurned with contempt, an d (he herfelf treated like a Have. The French government were officially told, that the people of the United States, wilhed nothing better than to facrifice their mod lawful in tercfts to thole of France ; and their com mittees of public lafety, and were not men, to take such a declaration as a compliment, or to let such offers flip through their hands. They naturally con cluded, nor was it one of their greatest er rors of reasoning, that a nation whose public representative was capable of giving such as surance: , mu'ft be prepared for submission to every infqlt, and acquicfcence under every injury. To such a minister they could i'o leninly fay that his country held its indepen dence merely as a tenant at the will of France and be sure that he would receive it as a com pliment. To him they could talk of debas ing themselves by difcuflion with his gov ernment, without any apprehension of rc fentment or contradiftion ; and although they had for months before treated hiin so ve ry cavalierly, as to leave him in great per plexity of mind whether he was a public mi nister or not, and to put him npon ingenu ous stratagems to ascertain the fail, it is not at all to be wondered at, that when they found him recalled, in disgrace with his own government, they /hould tell him, they were sorry he was going away. The fame fort of tone, which reigns through all that man's negociations, he had with the help of some friends and counsellors, worthy of himfelf, rendered the prevailing, fafhionable tone of American conversation, at Paris. No man knows this better than you, who were an eye and ear witntfs of it. Now after that, could you poflibly be surpri sed, at feeing repeated and solemn embaflies, re jetted with studied marks of «ontumely ? Was not contempt and disdain, the natural result of such degradation ? and could the opposite fen'timents of consideration and ref pe A be recovered otherwise than by a display of firmnefs and resolution, as far beyond the customary stile of negociation, as that duft licking manner had funk beneath it ? The spirited attitude which we have af lumed after so many and such deep provoca tions, has produced its natural effeft too. From the firfl moment of its appearance, un til that of its full growth, as by our la'ft ac counts it {lands, thole who before had met friendftiip with robberry, and supplication with indignity, have gradually retreated to wards the borders of justice, and grown pro fufe in profeiTions of complaisance and civili ty. While we kneeled and tied onr hands behind our backs, and roared for mercy, France had nothing for us but (tripes, and kick#, and cuffs ; but the instant we burst our (hameful bands, rife and draw the sword of defence, ihe has as many bows and con gees and capers for favor as an old dancing master of the ancien rtgime, can smile for our love like Malvolio, and rather than quarrel witb us, eat her leek like Pistol. All this our country will fee, and of all this I hope (he will not be the dupe. The firfl moment of our relaxation from energy would infalliby be that of her return to insolence ; if we persevere as regardless of her falfe ca re fles, as we have been of her fuftian mena ces, we shall certainly bring her to terms of reason, and iff Lie from the controversy with vidlory and with honor.
