FELLO W-CItIZE HS,
A FTER the lapse of ano
ther leffion of -Congress, during which, fuft-
J e " s as i:i,portaat as thoic of the former one
have been under discussion, and excited equal
animation on the floor of- Congress, and, in
genera If equal anxiety, I again address you,
witli the hope that a communication of my
observations on public measures, may enable
you to obtain a.more complete idea of the
prefeiYt.pofturc of our affairs, than you-might
be otherwifc enabled to do, on account of
your remote situation from the feat of e-ov*-
ernment.
The impediments I met in my journey to
rn: C ' ty> d^ la y ed mjr arrival till late in the
feffiqn ; of course several intereftiug mea
sures must have been decided, before I had an
opportunity of taking my {bat. I observed
that they refpefted, generally", a system of
defence ; but I also soon discovered thnt the
war scheme was pressed by those who had
Jhewn themfeTves, 3t the two last feffioin de
hrous os- committing the peace of our coun
try, by engaging in hostilities with France.
I found some measures adopted, which placed
in the hands of the executive administration
such weapons as would enahlj it to become
the aflailants in cafe they were difpoftd to a£t
in thatcapacity. These circuwiftances, ho.w
---e* citec l no surprise in mv mind, as I
hadforefeen that some active perform, in d--
■_P I ff' 1 t of all that could be urged to prevent
it, would be enabled, hy their management
to drag others along with them, who, form.
ir>g a majority, would complete' a fchcme,
the dangerous conferences of which were
not duly appreciated But I coniefs that I
viewed with aftonidiment a measure of in.
cr?afing hostility towards France suddenly
Impended by the dereliction of some mem
bers who hadulually given their fan&ion to
war objedts. The cause was found to be
the nomination which the Prelident had
that day, made to the Senate, of appointing
Mr. Vans Murray, our minister resident at
the Hague, to be the Minister Plenipotenti
ary to the French Republic, for the purpose
of renewing a negotiation in order to effeft
the amicable adjustment of the diffeiences be
tweeu the United States and tHe French re
public.
This intimation by the executive authori
ty, that there was a probability of an accom
modation of our different* with that nation
induced a pause which seemed to be awful'
to those who had fliewn a determination to
make W ar at all event, ; and was as grateful
to the friends oi peace. This pause lafed
iorae time, when a change appeared to have
been made, by the addition to the nomina
tion of two other pevfons, to be joint en
voys extraordinary, and minister plenipo
tentiary, with M,. Vans Murray; Td
further, that the two last nominatedVentle
men were not to fail for France, until the"
President had reeved from that government
assurances that they would be treated as the
ministers of a great, free, powerful and in
dependent n«,on —At the time of the nom
