PARIS, January iJ. Ciliztn Ducher .< frtjtd of a decree Jot the purpose of making the United Statu of Jmoriea pay what the) owe it thi t'nnch Government. THE L'uiieJ Su<es of America, i"iy» the Citizen D«eher, owe | ro Frwice man)' i»ill-iosn of money. 1 (hewed long ago means for facili tating the recovery of that debt, a debt which is the most legitimate a nation could have contracted. In the year I 785, i wrote, " I hat General Sullivan offered to pay the. iiiare New-l!anipftiire bears in the American National debt due to France, in timber, mails, boats, and l'alt beef. In the year n$Q, 1 proposed that the debt there, fhoold be paid in proportion to the conftitntion of that eonntry ; and as the United Stares could not pay the debt in specie, I proposed that each itaie should pay off that debt in the productions of their Coil, transported to fiance in their bottoms, which would he tne more beneficial to thein, as those ar ticles mult rife in the value by such exportation. In order to interest all the Ame rican states in the mode of payment, I ihHik we ought to accept of the productions ot the northern, cen tral, and finithern states ; namely, in timber, (Mt beef and pork, corn, fiaur, tobafcfo, rice, and other naval piovifions. Project cf thE Decree. The National Convention, deli rous that the French (hould be clofe ]y allied with th* citizens of the United States of Ainerica, and w»(li ing to Facilitate liquidation of rbe debt doe by ibofe state* to France, by direi't payment, which may be advantageous to both nati ons, and t6 raider their m utual com mercial relations more frequent, de- crees : , Article I. That no merchandize or productions of vhe United States ef America, of which the impor.a lion into France is, o>" will be per mitted, (hall be other wiic imported than dire&ly from those states, in French and American bottoms, under the penalty of confifcailqn of the veflels and their cargoes. 11. The Executive council is au thorised-to receive from the United States of America, the payment of part, or even the whole of the debr, ] due from that nation to France in fpCcie, bills of exchange drawn up on Europe, merchandize and pro ductions of the real growth and pro duce of the said states, at their prime cost in the said states. The National Treafuryisjikewife -authorized to draw upon the . . re *l fury of the states of America bills of -exchange, which after their accept ation and payment, as well as re ceipts for ready money, bills of < ex change upon Europe which mall have been paid, all American arti cles of merchandize, and produtftT otre whicb (hall have been delivered in those states, (hall be admitted as legal payment, and as the real ac quittal of the discharge of the said debt. IRELAND. " ip ou4B0u4B of Lords, Jan. 10. The Ho"fe unanimonfly agreed to a dutiful and loyal »ddreft to his Maiefty, on the speech of the Lord Lieutena,nt to bo.ili H,oufes of Paili* anient. ' The House likewise agreed to a.n add reft of thanks to tbe Loid Lieu tenant, tbe F>uk(? of Lejutter being the only difleiuient. In th<? cftuiff of the debate, the Lord Chancellor took notice of the petition pi efented to his Majesty from tbe Catholics of Ireland,which },e reprobated in very severe terms, on account of the many misrepre sentations and unfounded allegati ons contained in ir ; and declared his intention, Ihould befland alone, to oppose any bill which fliould be brought forward, for a total re-eal of the popery laws of that kingdom. « No man," said hi* Lordship, "is more ready than 1 am to enter cool ly and di'fpaflionately into the na ture of their claims. Ido most fo -lem lily protest, that as an individu al I never have, ner will I evpr en- quire, what may be the religion of any wan ; if he be an honest man. \»lratfoe*er his religion may be, u Jh*ll never influence uie in aiy pri- vate dealing ; and the more zcalouf ly any man is attached to any reli" gion which heprofefles, the greater confidence ihall I always be inclined to put in him. But we all know the influence which religion has u niforntly had upon the political go vernment of every nation in Europe, and it is iu this point of view alone, in wbicW > vrill ever consider the claims of" the Catholics in thisHoofe. If there be a clause in the statute book which restrains their religious worship—is there be a clause which renders their charaifiets, their pet lons, or their properties, less secure than the characters, tlie perfoiis,. or the properties of Proceftants, let it be repealed ; but, if any roan can be so wild as to look to a total re peal of the Popery laws of this king dom —if any man can be so wjld as to desire to communicate 'he effici ent power of a free Protestant go vernment, to a great majority of the people of Ireland profetfing the Popish religion, I do not fcrople to fay, that it is an abl'urd and a wick ed speculation. lam fatisfied that as long as the nature of man conti nues to be what it is, it is utterly impossible that a zealpus Catholic can exerclfe the efficient powers of government, in support of her <on neftion with the Protestant empire of Great-Britain : and therefore, if I am the single man in Ireland to raise my voice against such a pro jetft, I will resist it It is not to the people who profefs the Catholic r*- ligion that I look upon thisoCcafioi, it is to the principles of that religi on, to which 1 know they are zei loufly and fuperftitioufly devoted ; to the influence vrhich these princi ples have had upon the political go vernment of every nation in Eu rope for centuries. If unfortunate ly for this country, we shall ever be induced to make so fatal an ex periment, we may reft allured, tb*t the niaintainance of a Protertant es tablishment, and of our connetftWfti with Great-Britain, must be oncc more put to the iflue of the fwdfi and whenever the fubjeift mended to us from the throne, fhffll come into debate, I will (tare, with out reserve, thegrounds upon which I have formed that opinion. I trust, however, that no degree of lenity, or rashness, qr timidity, will ever induce the parliament of Ireland to yield her best security for the peace and prosperity of the country, com mitted to their care. Whatever e- I vents may arise, I will in defending the present conft»t»tion of this country, and transmitting it to pofterfcy ; and, info doing, I am fatisfied that I shall prove the best friend of the people of lreand, whether Protestants or Catholits."
