no'diplomatic (kill. This (kill hid appar
ently produced Come effcdt even upon the
mincl of the tt>Tov lumfdf, when he declares
it as his opinion that Um French govern
ment arc <Llirous of a reconciliation with
this country. What ! when this goycrn
wietit has appointed three envoys to treat
with the French government, is it a sign
of an aniicnbl; disposition to fay by their
conduct, " We do not consider you as an
independent nation who may appoint what
agentsyou please Jwe will ourselves chuff
with whom we will treat; we will calhier
some of your officers, and negociate with
the peifon upon whom we think we can make
the belt iiupreffion." So far from this (hew
ing a spirit of conciliation, he thought it a
conduit molt hodile to our independence.
The third point, viz. to throw the blame
of a rupture on the United States, if it
Thould take place, (hews no intention to con
ciliate our differences. If the French go
vernment were convinced that our grievan
ces were jud, and that they ought to con
ciliate with us, would they have gone into
an elaborate defence of their conduit ? When
they jultify their decrees and the confifca- j
tion of our veflcls, can it be conceived that
■when they talk of peace they are serious I It j
-they had, indeed, come forward and disa
vowed their former conduct, he Ihould have
■ conliier'-d it as a conciliatory circumstance ;
but when they juftified every thing they
■ have done, it evinced no. disposition for peace.
Mr. P. laid he would not trouble the
j] .committee longer, except fn one point, and
that was as tothe eonfequences which might
flow from a declaration of independence on
the part of St. Domingo. He (hould en.
deavor to anlwer the gentleman fro.m Penn
sylvania as to the confccueiv.es which it
might-produce to the fluthern dates. It whs
a fubjedt to which he had paid all the at
tention in his power. He did, on all ques
tions, endeavor as much as pollible to dived
himfelf of %ny thing like party spirit; but
in tliis cafe, where he had himfelf so much
at dake, in which his native country, and
every thing dear to him, was concerned, his
linearity could not be doubted. Mr. P. did
not himfelf believe that this bill would have
the lead tendency to procure the indepen -
denceofSt. Domingo ; but as feme gentle
men think it is probable that this may be the
result, and as no one could fay with certain
ty what the effect of any nieafure would be,
he had conlidered the'fubjeft, and was clear
ly of opinion, that (h'ould the independence
of that i (land take place, the event would be
more advantageous to the fouthem dates,
than if it remained under the dominion of
France, considering the disposition which
France has evinced towards us, and of
which he saw no profpedt of a change, and
the present conduit of the inhabitants of St,
Domingo. Nothing which we can do, said
Mr. P. can bring back the internal date of
that island to the date it was formerly in.
Considering the inhabitants then, in the
light of treemen, whether will it be better
for us, in the southern dates, to have to
deal with them as such, or under the direc
tion of the French government, unrealiza
ble and arbitrary as we have found it ? He
had no hesitation in faying, that, it would
he more for the fafetv of the southern dates
to have that illand independent, than under
the government of France, either in time
of peace or war. If our dispute with France
ftlould not be accommodated, and they keep
pofieffion- of St. Domingo, they could in- 1
•vade this country, only from that quarter.
, There is there a large body of troops, and
their, unofficial agents told our envoys, that j
iiicafe we did not fiibrpit to their conditions,
we might expert an attack from that quarter.
It would certainly leflen the danger from j
that iflaflifc, were it to be separated from t
France; but remaining in the hands of
France ; and supported by the powerful na
vy of France, netwitbdanding all the vigor {
we havq (hewn on the ocean, we might be
very much annoyed from thence. t
If these people in St. Domingo find that ,
we withhold from them supplies which are .
necefTary for their subsidence, said Mr. P. '
though they are friendly disposed towards us, r
they will look elsewhere for support ; they 1
mud either turn their attention to cultivate r
their land, look to Great Britain, or become c
nee-booters. In which situation is it mod P
for the interest of the United States that )'
they (hould be In ? Surely the peaceable cul- ''
tivators of the ground ; and to induce them
to take, this course, it will be our intered to
. fupplv thein with what they have oecafion
for ; led, they ihould get the habit of free- ' P
booters, and make our commerce the object • 0
of their plunder. He hoped, therefore, the i °
motion for driking out would not prevail. ! l '
Mr. Macon had no doubt the gentleman ] w
from South Carolina had paid particular at
tention to this fubjedt. It was to be expedt
ed tjiat every gentleman from the southern ' P
dates, would pay attention to it. In one re
fpett he was precisely in the fame situation '
■with the gentleman from South Carolina. ol
m He lived in a country that would be affedted ,c
■by any event such as had been mentioned, m
and all his connections were there. It was °J
the fame with all other gentlemen from the i
ibutherp dates. He differed in opinion, In<
however, when the gentleman (aid, that we ( ri
ihoukl have less to apprehend from St. "Do- P'
i»iingo, in cafe it ffioukl become independent, f e
than winlft it remained a part of the French

' ' Siit iv,ov((l to be druck out, does not go mi
to lay t! at it has veferrence to St. wl
" : go, it is a little extraordinary that no :an
'■■;.!ier cafe will fit it. There could be no j vei
dotgt if the island became independent, we ' If
ilioyk! have a right to trade to it; hut he be- ' wl
'ieved it would puazle gentlemen to find an j in
par-1 i:,fiance of a legiflatujf pAffmg a law in order
the to fit a cafe which might happen. As he
ares thought it improper, he hoped the feition
ern- would be druck out.
vith The qucltiou was put and negatived 55
ern- to 35.
reat Mr. S. Smith, moved to drike out the
sign words " (hall clearly disavow."—Carried,
heir Mr. Livingdon observed, that gentlemen
an had frequently told the committea that they
vhat did not mean by the general expression of
huff this clause, to allow any disavowal of an a
hier gent of any adt of his government, but mere
.vith ly such an avowal of intention as they were
lake entitled to make by' their proper authority,
lew- In order to ted the iiucerity of their derl a ra
it a tion, and to prevent any improper interfer
ence between an officer and his government,
ame and to prevent any lure being held out to 111-
if it furreition and revolt, he moved to add these
•on- words: " being duly authorised by the go
go- vertiment Ujereoft fliall clearly disavow."
fan- After a few observations upon it, this mo
;on- tion was negatived, 57 to 29.
into Mr. Pinckney, in his opposition to the
hen above amendment, said, he believed the gen
fca- j tleman from New-York to be perfectly fin
;hat cere ; and his judgment appeared to be dif-
It j ordered, and to be in a situation something
ila- like the jealous man whenever the fubjedt of
ave war is in any way touched. And we know,
:e ; said Mr. P.
Ilc y ■" Trifles light as lir,
ice. Arc to trhr jealous, confirmation lirong
tlif proofs of Holy vVrii.''
and Mr. Gallatin proposed an amendment
sht which he fuppol'ed would be free from the
on abjedtionS urged againd the lad for effecting
en- the fame purpose. It was to add these words :
lin- "by virttis of powers derived from the go
it vernment, and in its name."
whs '1 his motion was negatived, 52 to 3S.
at- Mr. Sprague moved to in fen the words,
jel- ' and having" after the word exercising,"
veil and betwixt the words " authority" and
but u in, ' in the fame line. te under the fame."
uch Mr. Dayton (the speaker) thought the
and amendment was unneceflary, as it went to
his make no material alteration in the bill, but
did on
ave Mr. Chanipliii's noticing the latter part
en- of the amendment, which the speaker had
tie- not heard, he exprelfed his disapprobation
the of it.
tin- Mr, Gallatin said, there was no difficulty
be, in discovering why the gentlemen from
:ar- New-Jersey and Rhode-Island dislike this
nee amendment ; it is obnoxious to them because
be if adopted, it would prevent a treaty being
tes, made with persons in a date of rebellion, and
of this amendment was liable to no other ob
ich jection.
of Mr. Harper thought this amendment one
ind of those things which might be adopted, or
St. not, without making any material change in
aid the bill ; and believing it to be of this na
of ture, as he supposed it would, at lead, make
in. it more agreeable to the mover, he (hould vote
the for it.
ter Mr. Nicholas was of a different opinion,
to If a man had thrown off his allegiance to a
ec- government, he could not be said to be exer
aa- cifmg an authority under it.
Mr, Varnum observed, that the gentleman
from S. Carolina had said, that he (hould
vote in favour of this amendment, because
ler it would make ho change in the bilf; he
me liould, on the contrary, vote for it, because
Ke he tho't it made a moil material change in
: C P it. That gentleman fays, he cannot fee
n how a person can claim or exercise a com
ei' mand without having it from the French
na government. He thought thi3 very con
is ce ' va b' c- A person, or a number of per
-1 sons might usurp an authority ; and this
J ' amendment went to prevent a treaty being
made with such persons ; and furcly gentle
of men not wl " 1 countenance the
doftrine of dividing the people from their
or government, can have uo objedtion to this
amendment.
Mr, Goodrich said, this amendment went
at to change the principle of the bill. The
re g° es u P on 'he idea, that when any
ifland in the Weft-Indies (hall cease to
is' ma^e e P r cdations upon our commerce, our
' trade (hall be opened with them, without
te regarding by what authority or force the
ie change was effefted. The matter is not
,ft p' ace d upon the ground of any treaty
lt whatever ; for, said Mr. G. we can neither
I increase nor diminifli the power of the Pre
m fident in this refpeft. A great deal of mill
0 has been thrown on this fubjedt. The ef
n fedt of this amendment will be, that the
■ person refraining from depredating upon
| our commerce mud adt under the authority
le i of the French republic ; 011 the contrary,'
i the friends of this bill wifk not to examine by
n what authority the thing is done, provided
t _ that it be.dong. We have a right to fay
t _ that our vessels (hall go to any port we
n plea'e ; but according to the dodtrine of
»_ thi- amendment, supposing the island of St
n Domingo waj conquered, we could not fend
~ our commerce there ; nor could we fend it
d to a place in rebellion ; so that our com
)j merce was to be affedted by every change
5 „ C '' CUm J ftanccs which might take place.
e 1 He hoped the committee would recognize
no principle which (hall amply we have not a
e : right to fend our commerce wherever we
plcafe, whether the places to which our ves
t, fels go are in war, peace or rebellion.
h Mr. Gallatin wasaftoniffied to hear the
y gentleman from Connedticut fay, that this
t is merely a commercial quefiion. Let iu
e ; said he, examine the effeft of this amend'
e • ment. We are told that the provisions of
1 | this bill do not extend to any colony which
»' may be conquered ; for instance, to St.
> ; Martins, St. Lucia, or any other colonies
■ which have been conquered. Let us fee
' , then, how it will apply if this amendment
3 ! is rcjedted, and whether the question is com
! mercial or political. Let u* enquire, said,
f he, what is the cafe provided for, if the a
, mendrrent is rejedted, and which are they
. ! which are unprovided for, tf it is adopted,
1 ; and it will then appear what ground is co
-1 j vered by the oppoftrs of this amendment, f
; If rejedted, it will result that ail persons 0
I who may claim or exercise any coir mand t
|in any island, &c. although they have uot
Jer that cnmman A under the goeernnjent of
he France, and who shall refrain from pr'vateer
ion ing, (hall be entitled to a free trade with this
country —the only cafe is a cafe of infur
-55 region and rebellion. Suppose, fait) Mr.
G. I should agree with the gentleman from
the Conne&icut, that if once a rebellion rakes
place, or any co'ony shall dec},re itfelf
len independent (hm fey the bye the doftrine
ley is not countcoarced by the law of nations)
of that we may trade there as we pleaftr. Does
a- it refnlt iliat jvs have aright to pafsi a law
re- beforehand to contemplate Inch an event ?
ere It we do, it w ill be fpeaki-g publicly thus .
ty. "Ifat y persons dial!, in any island, pott
ra- or place, belonging to the French republic, \
er- raiir an iufuirefti n, and declare themselves
nt, ind pendent, and (hall be found to refrain
>n- fromcommiting depredations uponotircam
efe merce, we will open afree trade with them."
>0- aud )et the gentleman from Conneftitot
calls this a mere commercial question.
10 - The Committee have been told of a num.
ber of cases which he had been .ftonilhed to
•' le hear—cases which happened in our war.
■ n - Gentlemen who have mentioned these have
ftot attended to any of the fa&sof the war.
Mr. G. referred to the cafe of the treaty
n ? made in Holland, which has already been
°' explained in a former debate Mr. G. said,
u > Gentlemen might pui what con(ln;ftion
they pleas d upon this feflion ; hut certain
ly publicly to tell the French colonies that
if they will rebel agairfl their govt rqnncnt,
and refrain *rorn d<pr*'t*ting again ft us, we
nt will treat wth them, is to invite them to do
" e it. A declaration of war has always been
n S the consequence of such a condutl in other
3 " countries; and he supposed gentlemen are
0 not ready fur a declaration of war, though
they tell us there if no chance in our affairs
for the better ; that negotiation is at an end j
that no idea can be entertained of the. fin-
cetity of any pro r effions of the French ; and
~ not being ready to bring in a declaration of
he W3r ' are not f'ircly ready to make it,
1 or provoke it; and if not, whv assume a
principle have this effed? He ho
ped the amendment yyould be agreed to.
Mr. Otis was apt to think, that if the
ac j gentleman from N. Carolina, whose candbur
a "d attachment to this bill are well known,
could have forfeen the eagernsfs with which
tv gentlemen opposed to the bill have seized
im upon his amendment, it would have had
some weight with him in prevesting the
p. motion ; and if the (agacity ms his friend
rom S. Carolina (Mr. Harper) had not
t ftn a little surprized on this occasion, he
would not have given his consent to it. This
amendment, said Mr. O. contains the fame
ne principle which has already been three or
0r four times reje&ed; it will neceflarily lead
in to , an exam 'nation whether the officer in a
a- n y is legally authorised, or not, where
[je as it is *? ur wi(h to let tljat question alone.
te To fay that this bill will be a cause of war is
ridiculous. The gentleman from Pennfyl
n, vania had so long and of'en predicted causes
a of war, that every bdify would discredit
r _ them in future; for being at peace at pre
sent, was a full contradi<stion of all his for
mer prediftions.

'e There is difthiguifhable in the charaftcr
r. of Jacobinism, a wonderfully confident de
;y pravity ; it can be attributed only to the
;n simplicity of thole virtues and of that system,
j, by which they are guided, and v.hich exists
,p to them a substitute for the dull and formal
v codes of morality* and law. Hence it is
, t that their joy at the acquital of a murderer,
t, ls exactly comnienfn ratii with that which
, e ariies at the murder of an innocent.
| 0 How long; outrage is to be screened by
ln virtuous Q.enffk ana republican juries, and
:r hqw long accomplices are to be allowed to
e triumph openly at its impunity, I leave those
lj to calculate, who can coolly ipeak of these
rs things as matters of course, as the natural
. effects of that party spirit ivkicb rcr.klcs
amongst us, and who can even pretend, after
d all, to call thenifelves freemen, and to boad
)f their security of person and property. 1
t- heen accuftttued to view them all in
a the fame light; or, if any diflinftion takes
place, it is, that the conl'pirator to save a
criminal from jufhee, by whatever means
e his conl'piracy is carried 011, is the worfer
r villain of the two : The conf.-quences of his
nity, and he has no pica to o£F«r in extenu
j ation.
3 But these are not the only people on whom
e the confequeuces are to fall ; they are, per
j haps, the only people on whom they will not

r Ihe tide of events is rapidly hurrying us
j on to that vortex, which we have heretofore
so hardly escaped ; and that state of things is
flattening, which it has so often fallen to the
lot of this Gazette, to point out and endea-
vour to forcclole.
The scenes which have passed before our
s eyes, are iufficient to convince-every man,
who is not funk in bestial ignorance and
sloth, that a regular cbnnedion and associa
tion exists between knaves in and knaves out
of office—the laws of which, require no other
claim to protection and immunity, than the
commiflion of some pretty flagrant crime :
it is no matter of what nation, tongue,
kindred, or employment, the Brother may be:
( 't is enough that he is a Brother ; and 110

Saint in Lawn or a Saint in Crape.

1 they overflow more frequently than the tide)
they are export, u. Ajaiiill these cohorts,
more than her ojjen force of arijis, should we
declare war—Against these null we declare
war, or they deluge the country. But at
such a time, and under such a necefiity, to
fee no temper, at all adapted to the rigour of
circumfhnces, is enough to chill the beftdf
causes with dismay For whdcan have hopes
of that country, upon whose national pride, '
upon whole dignified independence, upon

and libeilous, and have admired that the au- e ;

has been the. only thing that screened their
rascality from punishment. Perhaps it is f
right to let it pa'; quietly into oblivion where»
the author's, if lam rightly informed, are ...

is the Mary of Philadelphia, captain Ximo

by which J fee it will be alluoft impoffiblefor

ry good order, nevertheiefs, he has been con
demned on three points, one of which would
r have been f'v.lficient, agreeable to the idea of
- the tribunal : I will give you the points that
e you may avoid them : The firft was, that
1, the captain was born in Br If';: ft, and had r.d
s letters of naturalization, thqugh there was
1 several Americans of reliability that attest
s ed that they knew him to be a citizen of the
, L/nited States and married in Philadelphia
1 ten years ago ;
2. That several of the bills of lacing
were not in rule ; fofflt wanted proofs of
I property and that there were several parcel*
5 of goods that wanted certificates of their
; origin which made them fnrmrfc thev we-e
r the produce of foir.e Em-lifti dependence.

As we have nothing arriving here but
