the blood of our the event excit- t
cd i» America jvure jay ttwu horror. He t
could willi to find ail exoifc in the delirium ]
of the momerit, and now the nation has re- ]
turned to its sober senses, he presumed its •
gratitude would be bestowed on its proper <
objetts.
He was not afraid of advocating the truth
on this fubjcct, though he might again be 1
called a monarchist. Names were infignifi- I
carit, and. let a matt be called what he might, :
he could not fuf&r in public opinion for Sup
porting the truth.
Mr. B. next read the passage in which the
writer f.ivs he conld neither impute the blame
ess the existing diffmte to the onegCivernment
nor to the other. Would a federalift fay
this ? alked Mr. B. S.nce the commencement
of the revolution, have not the people of this
country condantly evidenced a drong partia
lity in favor of the French cause ? Has not
the government scrupulously rendered them
every service which their duty imposed, or
which neutrality permitted ? Since the ori
gin of the present dispute, has any deps been
n egle<3ed on our part which could lead to a
reconciliation ? Has not tbe government dif
fered, in filencc, till the bitter cup of wrongs
and contumely was filled to the brim ? Till
tfce wounded spirit of the country was at
length ruufed to vcfiftance. by the danger of
annihilation :
Smarting with the fti-»g of the many insults
we had received, was not the government
willing dill to poftpohe the just claims of our
citizen for indemnity for in juries done thein,
and were not.advances made under every
form of refpeft, towards a settlement of dif
ferentes, upon principles honorable and be
neficial to France ? and how were thefe'ad
vances treated ? With a contempt proporti
oned to our farmer fubimfiion, and in a man
ner which could be borne only by a bale and
abject peeple. And after all this, could ajiy
but a jacobin fav, that he imputed blame to
jieither of the governments ? It was language
which suited the -mouth of the envoy, but
could never proceed from the lips of a
■Fedcralifti
Mr. B. next took notice of the expreflion
" enemies of France and America." It was
manifeft, he said, that this was applied to the
government of the United States ; becaule in
another part c>f the memorial, where England
alone was 'meant, the expreflion was, the
eneniies, of France. Now, he would ask,
whether it wi. credible that a federalift would
afiert that the-government was not only the
enemy <;f France, but of the people of the
United States ? This was a falfe and detest
able calumny, and could never have proceed
ed from anv one but a jacobin. It corres
ponded with the grimace of the French go
vernment, and the cant of American jaco
birts, -which equally efFedtedan exclusive at
tachment to the rights of the people,
Mr. B. next alluded to that part of the
memorial which speaks of the opinion of Mr.
Jefferfon. He asks how Mr. Codman could
know any thing about the sentiments of that
gentleman ? He had not been for years in
this country, and as he was a federalift. it
might fafely be relied on, that he was not a
eqrrcfpomlent of Mr. Jefierfoii's. No'w it
was extremely likely that the envoy was in
ppfCedioaof Mr.Jefferfon's fentirnents. -They
-.vit* 1 uitiniatr previoully to the departure of
the envoy. It was generally understood that
there was much intercourse between them,
and it was said by many, andaftuallv believ
ed by some, that the envoy not only carried
w 1 tli him the opinions, but also the creden
tials of Mr. Jefferfon.
He-couc.eived that this refeience to a per
sonal knowledge of the sentiments of Mr.
Jefferfon disproved the fabrication with re
fpeit to Codnian, and fadened the produfti
on upoil some connexion of the envoy.
, 4 Mr. B. said, that one passage in this state
paper had been relied on with a degree of tri
. umph. He referred to that in which it was
ft a ted by the envoy, that in cafe of invasion,
their party would oppose the invaders. I here
is, to be sure, said he,, great merit in this
declaration. Thev faV to France, " Cap
ture our veff.ls, destroy our commerce, ruin
our merchants, extinguish the sources of
public revenue, lay your embargoes, impri
son our seamen, insult aud trample upon the
rights of the nation abroad, but dont bring
an army among us ; because then we can no
t longer hoodwink the people ; they will then :
see and feel for themselves ; they can't be' 1
deceived as to the cauTe of what they fufFer,
and in ccpfequence, Our party will be ruin
ed. Ihe people will then perceive that the
intercfl of the government, and their own is
the fame thing, and all our clamour can ne
vt'r convince'them, that it is better to be
governed by French bayonets, than Ameri
can laiW. Wefhall'be defer ted and annihi
lated; we-fhall fall never to rife again."—
Such Mr. B. underfilled to be the true con
frfuiition of this boasted declaration ; and he
had the charity to albw the gentleman the
whole merit which belonged to it.
Mr, B. said, that tsere was a sentiment
in the paper equally baft and falfe. He re
ferred to the aiTertion t.iat the French were
the deliverers of this country. Our delivery
l.e said, was owing to tie energy and patri
otiim of cur own citizeis. He con fide red
ti.- alfertion as an impious slander upon the
bi--- 'of heroes who fell in tbe revo
lutionary war. It was not until America
'had demor.flrj.,l J that thsy were capable of
e.Veflual n i vbnee, bv the capture of a large
British army that French aid was offered to
the country. The war, probably-, might
have been pr longed" without that aid ;
but the nation \ ac l spirit enough, and that
was ail that was i>ceffary, to accoinpfilh their
iidependence, wit<> u t French assistance.
Mr. B- la■ 4» thv-e wai one. other padagc
in the memorial, of ft, much meaning and
tit P;rn, that he fhouldrouble the house with
<ome oblei vations upor: j. It at once mark
ed t lie source from whi'O-i the paper came,
*ftJ furniflied a thfjiovel and mvfte
ri iDs embafiy. He referretito that part in
which the envr.v so feelingly appeals to the
intered of the French government, " to al
low the true Americantbaracter tMlazc forth
at the ensuing elections.'' Tbe envov knew,
' " i* iv an: f.iifibk of, that their ac- '
tions had so aili; ti'd them in the public i
opinion with the French cause, that their pc- 1
pularity must fil.k, as that declined. French
popularity was their popularity ; and it was
well known, that every man who was cured
of the Gallic mania, was loft to their party.
The enormous aggrefiionsand humiliating- in
sults committed r*i the country by the French
began to recal the senses of the mod infatu
ated. Goaded into refinance,„t'ie nation had
at la ft rou fed, taken up the gauntlet, and bid
defiance to her adversary. In the attitude
we then Hood, and he hoped dill flood, one
blow from Franee would have placed the na
tions in a date of general hoftilitj. This
was the event deprecated by the party, be
cause a war with France would necessarily ob
literate every trace of French influence, and
to extinguish the attachment to France was
to annihilate the party. To relid the. war,
was to contend for tl'eir exidencc. We are
not, therefore, to be surprised if they should
prefer the pillage of our commerce, theprof
tration of national chara&er, or even the
imposition of a tribute, to a state of war.—
On the other hand, a great objett presented
itfelf to those who sent the Envoy. They
knew that our citizens were peaceable in their
tempers, industrious in their habits, and
howtver willing, in cafe of extremity,, to
abandon every thing for the defence of the
country, yet that peace was desirable to. them
and that if it could be obtained by their par
ty, while it cad an odium, or at lead & sus
picion on the conduct of the administration,
would at once reindate French influence, and
restore French favorites to public edeem.
The Envoy mi; ht well flatter himfelf with a
cordial reception. He went to represent a
party against tbe government. It opened a
nohle field for diplomatic shill., A more ayfpi
ci' us event never presented itfelf to French
intrigue. It promised to accomplish the
great obieft of their policy in every country:
—To separate the government from the
people ; or, in o her words, to divide the
people among themselves j which might ul
timately render them a cheap prey to Fench
ambition. It enabled them to fay, "We
do not go to war with the good people of
America, but only with 'he government,
the penfiontrs of Pitt."
This view of the fubje£t,Mr. B. said, was
juflilitd by the paflage of the memorial
which he had lad cited.
It was thought that peace was popular,
and if denied to the government and granted
to a party, it would drip the government of
public favor.md support, and confer it on the
party. It was thus, that the true Amcricah
charader wat to blaze forth at the approaching
eleßions, when a grateful people were to re
ward the party which obtained peace, and
the power which granted it. He believed
that this was a great obj-ft of the embafiy.
To procuie for the party the popularity of
peace makers, which should operate on the
elctftions which were approaching. He
would'not fay that the nation had escaped
the precipice to which this afFait- exposed
1 ' them.beC'aufe the danger might not yet have
passed away : It was impoflible to forcfee
1 what consequences might have followed, if
France had offered to she Envoy certain
I terms of accommadatiorr,which in themselves
' were acceptable to the people. Could the
government have-accepted of them—know
ing they had been, denied to them in order
> to be granted to a party,,would it not be al
' lowing a. foreign government to ereft a mi
nority in this, country into a ruling pawer,
and thereby to eftablilh. an influence among
as dedru&ive of our independence ? He had
no hefitationin faying, that for the govern
ment to accept terms of peace refufed to
themfelves, and defignedlv granted to a par
ty, would be an aft the most difgraceful and
' dangerous in their power.to commit. And
yet, perhaps, to discard them, might inflame
the spirit of party to a height, which might
' be attended with the most deplorable confe
' quences to the country. Such, said Mr.®.
is the danger to which the preemption, the
' folly, or criminality, of an individual, might
expose hs. It proved the expediency of
' the present law. Mr. B. said he should make
no further observations on this date paper,
as it had been called. He believed he had
said enough to point out the source from
which it came, and the object it was desig
ned to accomplish.
Before he fat down, he hoped he should
be indulged notwithstanding the latentfs of
. the hour, in a few observations on what had
> fallen from the gentleman from New-York
i (Mr. Livingfton). That gentleman had
- been abfetit during the greater part of the
:■ time that the present bill had been under de
- bate. And recollefting what had happen
- ed on a former occasion, he had preiumcd
- the gentleman had again hastened to save the
- nation, dored with knowledge, not simply
t the fruits of his own industry, but of the
: researches of many other heads equally wife,
governed'by principles equally patriotic,
t He con effed therefoi-e, he looked for
- much edification. He expe&ed a great
c speech. He was preparing to yield to an
V involuntary conviftion. But what was his
- disappointment, when,aft' rpatiencly attend
i ing to the gentleman for more than half an
e hour, he found he had nothing to tell the
- house, but ajlory about a boilt Cook and a
II raajled heretich. Believing, in the end, that
* the gentleman designed only to-amufe the
e house, he expe&ed he would have gone on
3 with the dories of Tom Thumb and of Jack
* the Giant killer Hi 3 speech would then have
> been divided into co-ordinate parts, all ha
t vingequal application to the fubieft under
r difcuf&on. But, said Mr. 8.. perhaps he
was mifta]ten. Tbe speech which was de
live-red might be designed simply as an a.
' pology for one which was to be publifhed
-1 As this once had happened, it might
" again occur; and pofiibly they would be in
' demnified for present disappointment, by the
" merits of a second edition.
Mr. B. said, he should trouble the house
no longer. He had not risen for ih pur
" pole of entering upor a regular difefiffio. of
the fubjeft before the lioufr, but lor the
' purpose of makirg the remarks he bad sub-
mitted upon feme matters Introduced in
to the debate, tho' not properly belonging
to it.

i Mr- J. Williams observed, that it was
t said the other day, that some additional

pose of effeftually proteftisig commerce, he
hoped some additional would be raised from
it; and prcpofed a resolution to -the follow
ing effect:
" Resolved, that the committee of ways
and means be inftrufled to enquire whether

ought to be laid upon drawbacks allowed

The bill from the Senate veiling the pow
er of retaliation in certain cases in the Presi
dent of the United States, was read, ant}, on
: a motion being made to commit the bill for
to-morrow,
Mr. Nicholas hoped it Would be commit
■ ted for Monday. His reason for wishing
( this was, that when this bill was before the
; Senate, he understood that it was declared,
that the President had received information
of the fui'penfion of the arrette of the French
Directory, declaring citizens of neutral
countries found on board British veflcls pi
rates which this bili was meant to repel. He
wished the bill to be made the order for
Monday, therefore, to give an opportunity
to learn whether or not, this information was
founded.
rfhis motion occatiotied a warm and con
siderable debate. The motion for Monday
was at length negatived 51 to 39. The
bill was then made the order for to-mor
row.
Mr. Livingfton afterwards laid a refoluti
• oi» <an the table to the follewing effeft :
" Resolved,. that the President of the

board British ships of war." Ordered to
lie till to-morrow.
