Our .Envoys to France.
Wr hoito^,
' H YT arch-politician and sapient news
, mang-r Du&rte, has favoured the public with
Jits remarks, c imments and illuft rattans tip
on the intelligence from France refpett ng
the rupture of negjociations between our
-Envoys and the Fr tch government. So
long as this man confines his refrarch
es v to domettic occurrences, his falfhoods
and misrepresentations are unworthy a feri
■ous refutation ; but when he undertakes to
palm upon his readers his crude conje&ures
of the truth or falfehood of foreign intelli
gence, it is only necessary,' in order to cor
rect the errors, his statements create,
to lay before the public, the evidence on
which t! at intelligence rests.
It appears then, that a gentleman, wlio
came as a passenger in the Brig Amazon,
armed at New York, from St Sebastians,
ftatcs as a faft that four days previous to his
departure from St. Sebastians, be received
two letters from Bordeaux, dated the ift
of July, which mentioned the receipt, at
Bordeaux, offcvcral letters from Paris to
the following purport -
That a suspension of the negotiation be
tween our cammifiioners and those of France
had aftually taken place in consequence of
the French refuting to imdemnify us for the
veffcls captured, unless we would agree to
renew the treaty of 1778, or make one fi
milartoit.
Now this is the evidence, upon which
Duane fays, two of the New York papers,
" in order to take the edge from the recent
" advices from Europe, have affcrted that
" the negotiations between our ministers
" and those of France are suspended icc.''
It is trtie, that thie intelligence is not di
rest and official from our envoys, thcmfelves,
but it is worthy of very considerable credit,
for the very reason, which Duane gives for
disbelieving it, viz. because the French
government has refufed to nuke restitution
for the illegal captures of our merchant tef
fela, utilefs our envoys would consent to a
renewal of the Treaty of 1778 —Every bo
dy knows how extremely favorable to
France and oppreflive ta America, was
that treaty of 1778, made by old Frank
lin, and nothing could be more likely than
that the French commiflianers (hould in their
generous way of doing t'nefe things, infill
upon the unqualified renewal of that fatal
treaty, as tke fine qua non, of making re
stitution for our unlawful captured vessels (
and nothing could be more likely than that
the American envoys were intlru&ed, to
consent or agree to no such difj>raecfu) con
dition. Here the parties were fairly and
naturally at ifTue, and here they broke off
the negociation.
f- Ob, but fays citizen Duane—" 'Upon the
face of these aflertions, they carry contra
diction with them." Why ? Mark his
reaton, " which was not given upon com
pulsion," but spontaneously and with free,
will—-For, fays he, " if any difpate or dif
ference could arise, it would not be in so
general a way, as an obje&ion to pay for
property illegally taken." Now, in a ge.
neral way, lam apt to think, " a difference
or dispute" would more readily " arise" in
a French negociation, from an objettion on
their part to pay for property " illegally ta
ken," than from any other cause, general o ; -
special ; for we know, as was lately slated
in your Gazette, Mr. Editor, that although
the French have a flrong hankering after
•ther people's prop-rty, and have often been
known to take,it by violence, yet in a ge
neralwwasy f they "forget to pay."
I mult contefs, Mr. Editor, that this
objection of citizen Duane, does not invali
date, in my mind, the probability, that the
report of the negociation being broken off,
is true. I am one of those who never
thought or believed that the F.rtnch govern
ment would pay or make restitution for the
property they have flolen from our coun
trymen; I did think they might proniife
our Envoys, mod faithfully, that tViey would
do it ; and then fend tliem home as full of
promife-s and profeflions as their pockets
could hold, but without a seu in their
purses. Such would be the style of French
negcciation, in a general ivay.
Duane, unbluthingly asserts that he is
pofleffed of a copy of'the Decree of the
French Consuls, which g-;s to place Ame
rica on the fame footing with regard to
France, as (he was by the treaty of 1778.
I undertake to Cay, that he is poffrfled of 110
such Decree, which (to use his own plirafe
•ologyl goes to ettabtifh this relation—The
Decree to which he refers under this cha
•tafter, i» ohc p;tfled shortly after the coin
imencenient of Consul King Buonaparte's
♦eign, and relatt-S generally to neutral com
merce, reviving the marine ordonnances of
'France relative thereto, which were firftcre
idted by the Frerteh monarchy in 1778,
~fo that Citifcen Dnartf, with al! his sharp
lighted sagacity, will not be able to convert
■this ardonnance into a revival of the ancient
relations between France and America, not
even bythe help of a falfehood into the
bargain—Our velTels are (till taken by
French.privsteers, and condemned by French
Coi'rts, and this is what he calls a decree
that gofs to eft.iblifh ancient relations.
Even were the faft as he states it to be, the
only atifwer I would be disposed to make,
would be,*a pbgue of your relations—l-will
rone of it.

Our merchants and our farmers and our
rrtechanics ought to know tjie fadt, that the
jacobins democratic-republicans have done
und are still d*jing, by their cmiiTanes at Pa
vis, every thitie in their power to prevent an
honorable And fatisfaclery ndjuflment of wur
differences with France, iti order that they
*nay throw the odium upon the present Ex -
•cutive, and in order to reserve to the " man
of the ipeopl",? whom ..they Intend if they
lan t > briiip; in as" the next President, *!ie
honor of a Itrift alliance and a spee
dy with the French Republic. This
faft is notorious and Citizen Duanr confcfles
it in his concluding* fentmce of lemstrl.s
the F.nvoy intelligence, where he f vs- « that
any attempts by the intrigues of Britain or
their adherents to produce a rupture, would
only confirm tie people, more generally than
they even now are, tint it would he inriif
penfi'olv neceiiary to place Mr. Jeff ifoil in
the chair, because his desire for an univer
sal peace, is well In.iwn.
1 his it the eternal and unvarying cant
of Mr. Jeffcrfon's adherents.—.He is the
man of the 'people—He i= the friend of uni
verlal peace—H- loves France—And the
climax of his m rit is—That he detefti Great
■Brit .in—Now, tb»t universal peace is the
objeft ps Mr. Jeffcrfon and hU party,
any more than it is the objeft ot' Mr
Adam? and the Federal party, is what I deny
—and the fending of the Envoys te France
is " a confirmation flrong,;' that peace with
France was the objeel of the Federji Go
vernment, but it could be made by our
Envoys because Mr. Jefferlons party had
written to the French Commissioners, that
if they made a treaty with the Miniflers,
lent by Mr. Adams, it would prevent Mr.
Jefferfon —The friend of France, fror i, be
ing eledled President, and that by delaying
the treaty until the e'eilion was over and
the result known—)f Mr. Jefferfon got in,
he would make peace and a close alliance
with them at once, without demanding any
reltitntion for Vaptured property. This is
the way the Democrats work—this is their
patriotism and by such srts and intrigues do
they attempt to serve the cause of their
matter the great hitlorian of the huge
Mammoth.

B>it mind thee in heart this one maxim my Jack
Which pray often read in this book,
Make honor thy guide, or dfeneVsr come

To thy poor widow'd mother, and Suke, (
, So I kifs'd Suke and Mather, and greatly con

Off I set with my poor mother's blefiing
I With our Jacobin Cousin the wine feller learn'd
About mixing, and brewing, irA prejfing;
But the floe juice and rats-bane and ail those
neat Jokes
Were fo»n in my stomach a riGng.
Why dang it, cried I, would you kill the poor
folks ?
I thought you fold Wine, and not poison.
Your place, cousin Demo, won't do, for you lack

Besides without honor, I cann»t go back
To my poor widow'd mother, atid&uke>

He taught me the mystery quickly,
Of those, that were dyine to shorten the days
And those in good health to make sickly.

My old Demo aunt found in tnnoctnce faults.
And made rirtue bfufh as Ihe told 'em.
With a profpeft all round me so dismal and

Scarce knowing on which fide to look
I just femed my Honor and gladly came back
To my poor widow'd mother and Suke.
I found them as pure as the rose buds in June,
The law suit reversed, banifh'd sorrow ;
Dear mother said I my Honor'/ n>y own

Where »ice rides with folly bthind her.

For Honor to llarve, I was in the right track,

Thank Ood, from such Jacobins poor I've came

To my good Angel Mother, and Suke.

This was an aftion brought by the plain
tiff against the Defendant for criminal con
versation with his wife. The plaintiff was
a Cooper, and being drawn tc serve i'b the
Miadlefcx militia, he was obliged to leave
his wife in town to attend the regiment;
He was absent from htr for more than a
year, and upon his return he found her with
child* Upon ii quiry, he learned that the
defendant was the father. Only one Wrt
nefs was called on the part »f the prose
cution, from whose evidence it was clear
th..t the woman lived in an open state of
proftituiion during the abfepce of her hus
band, and that th;re were very strong
grounds of suspicion that the husband was
privy and consenting to his wife's infamy.
Lord Eldon said that this cafe might be
decided in the words of Lord Mansfield, who
on a cafe which wa9 tried befofe him, otfer
ved, th;it if a woman lives in a state of
prpftitution with the privity of her husband,
an A&ion cannot be against any man whp
is thus drawn iato connexion with her. If
the hufoand is not privy to the proflitiition,
an adion may lie, and the prostitution is
evident ; if the Jmy should think that the
husband was not pri y to it, it can however
only go to leflen the damages. If they
(hould think th the was privy to it, Adtion
cannot lie—Vcrdift forthe defendant.
' The Plaintiff is a sword cutler, near Cha
rin Crrvfs, and he brought this aftian against
the Defendant, au officer 'in the army, for
the price of a sword which the Defendant
bought in hie shop. It was proved in evi
dence that the Defendant came into the
Plaintiff's (hop and with an intention »f buy
ing a sword. He fixed upon one, which the
Plaintiff informed him was made for the
prince of Wales .but offered' it to him for 28
guineas. The Defendant agreed to take it
at this price, and iaid he would give his
Note of Hand for the money. The sword
was sent home to tile Defendant's lodgings,
and afterwards returned by hitt) to get some
alterations made in it?'but he refufed, af
ter thefer alterations were made, to take the
sword, or to give his Note of Hand for
the twenty-eight guineas, alledging that it
was not a good sword, or fit for service.
Several sword cutlers stated that the sword
was a good one, Sod fit for service, and
worth the price.
On the part of the Defendant, a Major
Flower swore, that the sword was not a j
good one ; the tank, or part next the han- |
die, being made of Britifb iron, and being'
ill joined to the other part.
Lord Eldon said, that as the sword was
not alledged to be altered from what it was
when the Defendant agreed to pay 28 guin
eas for it in Plaintiff's (hop, he thought
he was liable for this fr.m, and more espe
cially as the evidence of the sword cutlers
proved the sword to he fit for service.
