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."
