A» \ From the New-York Gazette. \ _ FRANCE W AMERICA. } We have seen in the Gazette of Monday < last the refiilt, as given und«r the Pans head I of August the" sifr, of (he negofciStfon be twcen our Commidinners and the Fiench j jr-jyerHment. It teems, it has failed, and is for the present, fufpcnded, the reafoiu of which are afligned. This account of tl-,e matter, though without an official ilim p 5 has Orong marks of b«ing an enunciation by authority of the French Government. It is not improbable, that the le /ding points in the rtatement are true ; and con sidering the quarter from which iv comer, and the views to he answered, it : <s not f*,e- Gcierit in moderation. There are, howt'vT, some difcolourings, and several arrful of a nature to milleid the public opi;yj on of this country, which insy require a:i 'jiytidote hya fair explanation, 1 his (hall h e offered. After a preliminary view of t' llc fobjeftj difculTed in the negociation, i 4 stated in the frquel, that " the negocif_ t j on turned or three points." i 1. The conUßiianc* ir, force, or the mo- \ ditied renewal of the t'.eaty of 1778. Tcis (it ii'alledged) was waved by j France, in of the affuranre oi | ou* envoys, they could not renew it. j 2. The pr.nciple of compmfation for il- j legal fciftirret. Tins -point (it is nid) France offered to | admfc. But 011 condition only that the treaty , nj 1 778 should be rcnezcedj with tiie modi- , 'coitions contained in the inftru&ions given by Wafhiligton. j. The 25th article of the 1 reaty, bet wee;' the United States and Great-Britain, relative to the proteflion grafted to the arm ed veffcls of that nation. France, it- is f.-id, wiH pnbabty infill up on enjoying the fame advantage as long as it is poffefledto her,injury by her enemy. It is mentioned as Utpplementa y, that ''There is another principle which France anxious to ejtablilh, namely, That ?teu bottoms should constitute neutrdbfiro ■••.ertv." But that cur treaty of 179-3 with ijrest-Bi iuin prevented our acceding to this l'vftein. 1 On the very face of the ftatemeiu, as to ttie two firPV points, we discover a stroke of frcmb jinestc. France, it is preten !ed, tvaved the point of'a continuance or modified renewal of the j treaty of 1778, upon the assurance of our ; envoys th.v. they could not renew it ; vet we are informed in the next sentence , thai acied nf to the principles fation for illegal capture?, flit dd it up n the ' express lOnJUion only that the treaty q f'72 fllouM be relieved with m ulilications. | That is to f.'.y, tUc pjved the mod>k:2 renewal of the treaty ot >7B, upon the con dition that the United States would wave tueir claim of cotuprnutio'i for Illag.ll cap tures ; a d lira by hc» I'olt" admitted to be jufl. This, it nm.fl be conlkflVdi was an oil I method of w.w%. ft was more proprrly an attempt to barter a bul debt tor a fteocl one, a nullity (m other words a treaty, wtiifh for these very c iptures in violation o! it, and'for other injuries, had been rii'Wul ly declare.! void) for a valid claim equal to 20-coo,ooo of dollars* i 1 The argument by which it is in ended to | colour this fubterfugc is this .- | j " That as the two nation 1 ' h d never j been in a llate of war with eaeh other, the j treaty of 1773 could not have been annul j led without the consent of both. But there' is not a writer on the law of rations who will not inform the French Government, that when one party to a treaty violates the compaft in any material article, the other party is free to -nojil the whole. Fiance, before (lie had the lead p; etc nee of complaint againll ihe United States, had I infringed the treaty in some of its elTctiual I points especially in the famous provision now again much vaunted that neutral bottoms ■ (hall conjlitue neutral properly; and (he went on, ii creafieg her violations down to the period of abrogating the treaty in this country ; than which no national meaiure was everjuftified bv more cogent reasons. But it is aflerted that this t-eaty is the oily ba r s of our claim 10 compenfatioti. Thii pofiition ia as unfounded as the ether. _ France in her revolutionary phrenzy, de nied the exitlence of a Law of Nations, i Returned (as is hoped) to reason, (lie it pre : sent recognizes that law, and promises to be I governed by it. i Tlien, as the greater part ofthe captures I of which we complain were unjust and ille- I gal ;' not by the preculiar llipulations of the j treaty of 1778, hut, by the General L w of Nations— ii is plain that as to them our I claim to compenf a'tion is independant of, I and pa amount to the treaty. 1 It follows, that the ground which has i been taken by France, in this particulxr, is j untenable. _ ( Further—as to the 25th article of thy | treaty between the United Statel and Gr f /at Britain, relative to the pretention grafted ' to the armed veffeli of tho na.ion. j Towards a clear underllaoding 0/ th's i pint, it may be neceflary to rera.nd the public of fuine faSs : Our treaty with France already mention . ed. in th I||h article cot tains llipulations equivalent to the 55th article our treaty with Great Britian. As this artie'e ha 9 an ex.press favhg of prior existing treaties, F-.ance was left by the treaty with Great £ it an in lull pol feffion of the privile g cS in this refpeft ' which our treaties w r ,th them hud granted. The cons quenc,, was th<t France being i a« w*r «hh Grea . ( Britain, might hring pri- ] zes made the latter, into our pons, j j ivhile Britilh ftips cauld not enter with pri , z"9 made f'/ m France; F ance, theref re, | had no cause to complain of the article in I queilio:lt left her where (he was before, and w fih a pnviiege not er,joyed by Great- Brit I '/f the abuse ia now altered, and Grtat- B f'iiaTn has acquired the preference which |'*efor- b.-lpnged to France, it ii by acct- I dent. or. more properly fpeakiug, by the fault of France, whose yiolei#e drove oar ■ government to the abolition of our treaty , with her -thereby tran.feriog to our treaty r with Great Britain, the advantages of prior ity, which formerly were attached to oar ; Treaty with France. This priority, therefore occaiioned by the , mifcondua of' France, ouglu not to have . been an obstacle to the formation of a ! rea ty wi h us, which in other rtfpe&a, ftiould ' have been the fame as our Treaty with ,f Great Britain. And doubtlels it will ap « pear hereafter, that our K.,v yi were author 1. ifed to offer and did offer such a Trea n i y Thi* cirnumftance ought the less to have | II I been an obstacle. because the 2Jth s one ' „f the articles of our Treaty with Great- Britain whioh by its own limitation, will rx ire in twelve years after the making of it, that is, in the year 1807. Again—A» to the principle, that neutral ' bottoms ihould make neutral property, which it ia said, France was anxious to ef tab i(h. IT is not true, as alledged, that our 1 rea ' ty with Great-Britain was an impediment to our eftablifliing principle with Frtnce ; unless it was rreant to do more than was done by the Treaty of 177 N. It is clearly (hewn by Mr. Jefferfon, in his correspondence on the fubjeft, and has ' been otherwise amply demonltrated, that this Treaty did nothing more than adopt the principle as a Rule to be observed, be t t ween the United States and Fiance, with rega d to each other when one was at peace, and the other at war ; that it did not bind • tither party to enforce or infill upon the - roles as against other Nations. [f more vJas desired by France at this h time ;if it was meant that w; were to agree s .0 infill upon the rule as agninft other na tions ; it is evident that thia wa« nothing mo e nor less than an attempt to i.-,voW us in w.ir with Great-Britain. As a violation of our treaty with lur, rhis would have been the natural conse quence, as an change, by force ] the present law of nations in a point which (he is deeply interelled to msun;ain, the I fame consequenCe was to berxpe&ed. This would be ar,other specimen of the cldpolcy War -with Great Britain, at ihe price of Friend/hip 'with France- I It is 1.01 unlikely that our Er.voya have been inftru&ed to cWclirt:, in any ftiapf, ih r isolation, that ritutnl bottoms fhnuld make nrut'al property ; and if they wire, the inftrndlion w» s a peife£tly wife one. Experience has (hewn, in the conduft of France herfelf towards the United States, that it is a llipulation not 10 be upon ; too contrary to the spirit ps maritime war to be obfeived, and that the probable eftert of making it, w.ll be always to introduce a germ of content ioobetween the parties to the contrail. It has been a cause of extreme embarrafTnent to us in the present war, Aii unwi lingnfcfs to repeatlthe experiment of this contentious innovatiw>, > ought cer tainly to have been no obllacle to a treaty with the very power has given 1,9 proof that it was iv tfr than nothing, and taught us the necessity-os distrusting it. Hence wc perceive the unreafonab'enels and futility of the offef.fiye which, on the part of Ftao,cpj have ob(lru£ted a treaty wtVb the United States. Let tiV now. conje£hir» the true reasons of the (allure of th,e •negocintion. They wer? —l. The hope that an unfeuted liate of things between the two.countries might favour in the approaching ele&ion of Chief ; 1 Magistrate, the choice of a person more | ! comt'ilaifntrt to the view 3 of France, namely Mr.' Jeffcrfon.— 2. The expedition that with him a bargain ropre advantageous to France would be made than with our pre sent Executive. Will the people of tjit United States be the dupes of the scheme? Will they think it their interest to elevate to the head of the government a mari with wnom France ex perts to make such a bargain as will suit her purpose, after th? repeated proofs they have had of the with of France to entangle ihem in her interests, and embroil them with oth-r nations ? Why should they do this. Things are now uimn n good footing. A treaty it is t.rue has not been made ; but if we aie toccreditt t the Fiench ftatcment, their d*precUti«ns oil, our commerce are to cease, and oVr neutral rights are in future to be to have peace infect with France, though not by treaty ; and if (he keeps her word (t'.ie only security a treaty would give »s) zve lha!l be aa well off (except in the article of compensation for captures) as it a tre.ity In little more" than fix years ih- pirts ot our treaty with Great-Britain refpeAingex ternnal commerce and navigation will expire, i We can than Hand both with France and | Uer Mi new ground, and U is matter ot indifference whtthVr we ever again have a commercial treaty wtth either of them, un less upt>n better terms than heretotor:. ihe trade between us and them may as well be le : 't to re-ulate itfelf till bargains mote po liticly advantageous tor us can be made. The jetting fid, on fair groui'd, ot the Kuaru.tee of the French Weft-Indies lit our treaty of aHianer with France, is a point ot fifcftantial interest' gained to tke United States. ' , We obferv* thii'sn attempt was made to revive this gu*r»itee in a qualified Form ; whether this revival was urged as an ultima tum or not, does not appear. .It * proba ble that it has been a very serious. psmt with France. And the rtafons which in duced her to desire it, ought to induce the United States to avoid it. The guarantee ias it formerly stood, would have engaged ■ his country in every maritime warm which France was a defepfive party. Commutes for a pecuniary aid. it would cod them a large sum of money in every such cafe, and would be more or less hazardous to their Pe president Walkington wifely propofo the fubftirote with the treaties were yet 11 force. But Frarce would not then liltei to the moderate propositions of this grea man. Now, that the treaties are at an end in confcquence of the French agg r * ons we ought not voluntarily to refnmc lo ien ous an incumbrance. It would be far bet ter for the United State, to compenfat, their own citizen. forl»ffe» by French fpo On this head it is to he observed, tha nothing more than a promise of compcnfaii on could at present have been expeaed fron I, France witb tho bclk intentions on her part : The (late of her finances does not permi more. The enjoyment of the boon mill have been in future. • In all probabily, b] patience and perfeyerance, a more conveni ent oppurtunity will occur for a favorabh settlement of the matter, and early enoug! to meet the rtfourcca of France for pay nrcnt. . In the interim, let our goverment talc, pr paratory measures ; f«ch as will thor oughly fift and afcenain the claims whtel ought to be cumpenfated ; and by this ex pedient the affair will be refined for defini tive negociation, and if any time will be loft. - As to the reft, a simple and obviotti course of conduft yrefents itfelf. hostilities on the pattof the United State: cease, and let the two countries pah iflto i (late of peace in fad on the balls of thi Laws of Nations. In this paGtion it w;l be ften whether Fnnce is fiucere, and at thi fame time able to execute her sfiurance tha cur rights, as a neutral nation, will hereatte be rqfpefted.
