I relate them in lis own words and order. Made at the time they were, and under circumstances lo advantageous for knowing the truth, and with Inch authen tic and full evidence to support them, his observations cannot fail to have great weight with all candid readers. Mons. Chevalier de Luzerne memorialized Congress last year (1792) in favor of the Tories, and endeavored to prepare Gongrefs for the articles , which they expeiled to be able to inl'ert in the treaty ot peace, for making compensation to, and admitting them into our country and councils. — Ihe con duct of the chevalier of Marbois, and the principal French charafters in America, was in conformity to this plan, endeavoring to cultivate an acquaintance and triendfhip be tween them and the tories. The loyal prin ciples of the tories, their fondnefs for royal ty, their numerous connexions and acquain tance, all these made it an objefl ot im portance to provide for and secure those people to the French interest. For this pur pose, and to fecuie other points, the French minister prefled Congress to give the dis graced instructions to our ministers, to be governed ultimately by the French court as to the terms of peace. They feared that at the peace an independent party would arise, which could not easily be managed by them. This appears from Marbois' letter, from the letters of our commissioners, and the declarations of Count de Vergennes at different times. For this reason they wish ed to strengthen their party, by attaching the tories and their friends to their iiitereft. Could they have secured to the tories their confifeated estates, or a compenlation for them, and a permanent residence in America, at a pieriod p.litfi the Britilh had given over all hopes of providing in that way for them, and when delpair, as to their darling obje-tt, had seized the minds of the tories themselves, so that restoration might appear to have been by the French folcly, and that unmerited, there can be no doubt, but tories would have become the lnoft devoted tools to France. Count de Vergennes even went so far as to dellre Ms. Adams to recommend it to Congress to leave all the European af fairs to the court of France, and attend on- Iv to the affairs of America at home. Our commilTioners repeatedly fay, in dif ferent letter?, that it was to them very clear that the court of France meant to prevent any of the greawpowers in Europe acknow ledging our independence ; anj} that we £hould obtain, by the peace, from Britain, nothing beyond the point of naked inde pendence ; and not even that, till the French influence was more (irmly eftablilhed in A merica. They accordingly endeavored to break off the negociations, in order to gain more time and means. Marbois recom mended this to Count de Vergennes in his letter, intimating that the French influence was not fufficiently weighty to have a generil peace. Mr. Jay, in one letter, fays, "We have more reason to admire the patience, than to be fatisfied with the generosity of our al lies alluding to the great reluctance with which they furnifhed us with money, and the steadiness with which they pursued their great objects. The conduit of the French, during the negociation for peace, appears clearly to have been part of a fyftero, formed as early as 1778, by that court, to prevent our becom ing independent of, and unmanageable by, them after a peace. They appear to have apprehended that if our claims as to inde pendence by preliminary, territory, filhery, fcc. Ihould be obtained by us, we (hould soon throw off our dependence on thein, and lea-n to think and ait for ourfrlves. They accordingly began to guard against this evil to them by the terms of the treaty of alliance made in 1 and by taking proper mcafures to have our miniflers in Europe dependent upon them ; and their inftruitions luch that the French ministers might have it in their power to determine what points America should infill upon at the treaty for peace ; and of course what the terms of that treaty, as to America, (hould be. For this purpose, they, by their influence, procured Dr. Frank lin to be appointed sole min liter at the court of France. This gave them a good chance of his being the sole minister for negociating peace, which must have as effsAually secured to them all their views, as if the Count de Vergennes had been the sole negociator. In proof that the court of France had long ago determined on the plan they pursued at the negociation, and that they have all along been preparing Congress for their purposes, we need only attend to the memorial of monsieur Gerard, and his communications from his court, ir» 1779, as they Hand upon the secret journals of Congress. He favs that " his'mailer was highly pleased with Congress, for having made Dr. Franklin the alone minister to his court, who was a gen tleman remarkable for his integrity, his abi lities and disposition to conciliate ; he con fident! it as a new evidence of the disposi tion of Congress to oblige the king, and ce ment the alliance." He further fays, that" the publication of the treaty by Congress was improper and un precedented ; his matter, however, was not angry, at it, since it was only discovering to the world how kind and. generous he had been to undertake our defence, without any re %\)t <saseftc.

Gerard waspreparing 1 matters to carry it into effeft in 1779. The fad is, she intended effectually to seperate us 1 from Great-Britain, but never meant tbat America should be entirely independent of 1 herself. The extrad from Mr. Gerard's repreien- ' tation, which follows, was obtained after 1 j writing the above, and will shew that Con- ] t grefs mult have seen the policy of France as j long ago as July, 1779, and yet they aster s wards gave those famous inftrucYior.s to" our : miniftsrs. j After stating to Congress the {ituaticm of t things in Europe, and the then profpeel of obtaining peace through the mediation of ~ Spain, and the necessity of having the Ame- 1 1 rican n,inifters empowered to make peace, he fays he had dated these things to Congress. 1 " that they may, if they think proper, take under contideration, if it would not be expe dient to give their plenipotentiary t instruc tions and full powers, founded upon the ne cessity of circumstances and the treaty of al liance, the express and formal terms of which shall be, that peace (hall not be made without on pvnrr-f c nr t.nrit nrV'nr»\vl?:U r ment '/ifr thr ue, . pf. rtltnou! an express or tacit acknowledgment of th< sovereignty, and confecuently, a fortiori, o! the rights inherent hi sovereignty, as v.-tll a: of the independence of the United States, ir matters of government and commerce. Thi: substantial alternative in an engage mem which is a mere gratuitous gift, ■without an) compf nfation or stipulation, ought indeed ne> verto be forgotten itr a negotiation for peace. France forefaw the extreme difficulties a for mal and explicit acknowledgment might roeei with. It was only obtained by Holland tacit' ly after a war of thirty years, and explicitly after are Gila nee of fevrnty. To this day, Gc*-va and theSwif; cantons have obtained no renunciation nor acknowledgment, eithei tacit or formal, from theirformer sovereign* . but they enjoy their sovereignty and inde pendence only under the guaranty of Jpranct His court thought it important that difficul ties of tliisnature, which reside only in words (hotild not delay or prevent America from enjoying the thing itself. From these con uderations arose the very important and ex plicit stipulations in the treaty which he had jufl now related, and which had received tfee fanftion of the United States ; and it remains with the prudence of Congress to examine, whetheT inftruftions upon some particular points may not fruftrate the salutary purpose of the treaty of alliance, relative to a tacit ■ acknowledgment which the situation of affairs ' may reqtlire." The salutary purpose of that treaty wan, boyond all doubt, to separate America from Britain, and to keep her de pendent on France for her liberty and exi gence as a nation. The foregoing representation was made , by Monf. Gerard, at the time when Congress j were about inftru&ing the ministers in the terms of peace, there being a profpeft of a negociation under the mediation of Spain ; and it was evidently intended to prevent Congress from giving any icftruftions to theirminifters which Blight obftrutt the views of France ; to have our independence only tacitly-acknowledged by the treaty, and de pendent altogether upon the guaranty of France. This would have placed America in a situation so humiliating, so dependent, as to have deprived us of all the great ad vantages that w$ now succeed to by the trea ty. Congress were so embarrassed by that representation, apd the influence of the French over many of the members, that they spent nearly two years debating upon, and altering the inflrudtions to their ministers. Motion after motion was made, and amend ment after amendment proposed ; month af ter month, and year after veil pal Ted away, till finally, in 1782, the French minifier ob tained such inflruilions to the American mi nifttrs as he wished, such as lie supposed would answer their purpole, and enable the French court to fettle the terms for America. But the virtue and the firmness of MeflVs. Adams and Jay defeated their views ; and though fettered with one colleague who was devoted to France, and, as fir as he could, promoted her intercfl in opposition to that of America, they, notwithstanding all thefa embariailment*, gained by the treaty every important point fur America ; and immor tal on the pages of our history be tbtir re spected names. * This article of the treaty runs thus. " They mutually cng ge not to lay down their arms; until the Indsffnd»nci of th* UiiiteJ States shall have been formally orTACiTLV aflured" &e. f Dr. Franklin. The iuSjififtioDS tuiai!;/ given to our ftlfters »?r- j%reeaulc to :'.e forgoing tr»3., *>i':ch was the fcift amendment mad* to there, and was proposed by Motif. Gerard to a c'«£wr.itgtr S tingrei'i, appointed to confer with lurr. on tbt-fubjeit, and by thtra reported to Cor.grsis as a necessary amend nu-at ! ! Here end the -l marks of the forementinn ed ljie'tftbcr of Congress. Fi rLhyr proof 0 f the existence of French intrigue and influ. ence in this country, is contained in the fol lowing extracts of original letters from a member of Congress to his friends in tie F.afteni States', written at Philadelphia, i n 1783, " It feerr.s there are some among y OU who openly approve the conduct of France during the negotiations for peace, and con demn the conduit, of our ministers. This I expected, or elfs that they would deny the whole, and rely upon their own effronteiv to carry it through. The French bav; ccrtair. ly their partisans among you, <W violent ones too. The divulging their intrigues refidered it neceflary lor the in to adopt one of thofc lines of- conduit. Their money and their flattery, both which they use, may gain them devoted tools ; but if the body of th* people fufTer theinfelves to be duped by them, they deserve to be the servant cf feivants forever. " I expe£l you are not aware that their influence will be exerted to encourage the op poiition to the 4th, jth, and 6th, articles of the treaty [of 1783.] Their object now is to prevent that treaty from taking effect • to keep Britain and us (till at variance ; to promote divisions both here and in England, the more effectually to keep us dependent on theinfelves. That this is their policy, and that their engines are all at work, I think very evident from a great variety of cirfcum ftances ; and an attention to their former conduit will (hew that the fame views, the fame principles cf policy, which induced the former will lead them to the latter. Their partisans here, both in and out of office, are highly pleafecl at the rising fermentation, at the appearance of general confulion. They are oppol'ed to every measure that would losic like an attempt to check the popular tide. " I find but few people who are fufficient ly attentive to, and jealous for, these times and such intriguing fpiritj. I have fugged ed tny ideas to some, who appeared alarmed, but could not believe that such duplicity could t>e pradlifed. It is, in their opinion, too deep, too hazardous a game, and too in imical fora friend to play. For my part, I look firft for the interest of a nation ; hav ing found where that lies, I always expert them to pursue it, let the appearances be as they may. ****** " In truth} the French did not intend a peare, but were surprised into it. The count dr Vergenncs, when he politely consented that the American commissioners Ihouldineet Mr. Oswald, relied wholly on the reftriftions he conceived them to be under, of recurring to him for advice ; well knowing, that in every such recurrence, he would have it in his power to defeat the ncgociation. He ex pected too, that fufficient obftructrons would necessarily arise on the part of the British, especially as be himself encouraged them. He intended to have dragged America through another campaign at least: and ipftead of leaving her in circnmllances from which (he would rifcr.nd make a figure, he meant that file uldbe so fettered withembarrafTmentP, that (he mud have-continued in a large de gree dependant on France. Had this been the cafe, the political connexion with that nation might have been indissoluble. It is to the Count's mistake of the chara&ers of the American commiifioncrs, that we are in some meafurcsiVdebted for the present paci fication. Had he supposed they would have dared to coßftruc their inftrudtions m the li beral manner they have done, be assuredly would nerer have trusted them with ihe op portunity.
