Paris, 7th Veiidemaire, of the 7th
yar of the French Republic, one
and indivibble.
The minister of Exterior Relations, to citi
aen Picbon, Secretary of Legation, of
the French Republic, near the Batavian
Republic.
I HAVE received successively, citizen,
your letters of the 2jd and 27th Fruftidor ;
they afford me more and morcrealon be
pleated with the manner you h*ve adapted,
to detfeil to me your conversions with Mr.
Murray. These convtrfatians at firft mere
ly friendly have required co/iGftency, by the
fantticn I have ijiven to tliem by my letters
of the t ith Fruftidor. Ido not recprt that
yen have trusted to Mr. Murray's honour,
a copy of my letter. It was intended for
you only, and contained nothing but what
is conformable to the intentions of govern
ment. I am thoroughly convinced, that
should explanations take place with confi
dence, between the two adminiilralions ir
ritations would ceafc, a croud of misrepre
sentations would disappear, and the ties of
friend (kip would be more strongly united,
as each party would discover the hand that
fought to difunile them.
But, I will cot conceal frofn you, that,
your letters of the 2d and 3d Vendemaire,
just received, lurpri7e me much. What
Mr. Murray is still dubious of, has been
explicitly declared, even before the Prefi.
dent's message to Congress, of the 3d Me!»
fidor last, was known in France. I had
written to Mr. Grrry, namely, on the 24th
Mtffidor, and 4th Thermidor. I did not
repeat it to him before he set out. A whole
paragraph of my letter, to you of the luh
Fruftidor, of which Mr. Murray has a co
py, is devoted to develripe still more the fix
ed determination of the French government
according to these bases —You were right
to aflert, that whatever plenipotentiary the
government of the United States, might
fend to France, to put an end to existing
differences, between the two countries,
would fee undoubtedly received, with the
refpeft due to the rrprefentative of a free,
powerfuLand independent nation.
I cannot citiaen conceive that the Ame
rican government need any further declara
tions from ns to induce them in order to
renew the negociations. to adopt such mea
sures as would be fuggelled to them by their
desire to bring the differences to a peaceful
end.
If mifundenlandingg on both fides have
prevented former explanations from reach
ing that end, it is presumable that those
misunderstandings being do*.e away, nching
henceforth will bring ebftacles to the reci
pr cal dispositions. The President's in
ftruftions to his envoys at Paris, which I
have oijy known by the copy given you by
Mr Murray, and received by me on the 21
Meffidor, announcing (if they contain the
whole of the American government's in
ftrucli>»») dispositions which could only
hit* beer added to those which the direc,
tory has always entertained ; and notwith
standing the irritating and almost hostile
measures they have adopted, the direftory
has manifeftediu perseverance in the senti
ments which are deposited both in my cor
respondence with Mr. Gerry, and iu my
letter to you of the luh F/u&idor, and
which I have herein before repeated in the
mod explicit manner. Carry, therefore,
Ot.zen, to Mr. Murray, those Pofitiveex
preluons, in to convince him of our
lincfriiv, and prevail upon*hini to transmit
them to his government.
I prefutne, citizen, that this letter will
find you at the Hague ; if not, I aik that
it may be lent back to you at Paris.
