J.. r V : Unacquainted with any humoral or political,, by which I was prohibited frqni benefiting my country, , I availed my felf Of every legal means to procure an interview with influential character?. When 33 a pri vate citizen of the United States, I. give it as my opinion, that it. was in the power of France, by acts of jullice and magnanimity worthy 1 ofTher elevated v .foliation, to reftore harmony between the twd rcp.ub lies. I fuggefled the propriety of releafing our fea men cbnfi ned as "pnfoiier;'and raifing the embargo on bur (hipping, dttained in their ports. I ftattd that aclsof this kind, taking place immediately after the late declarations of fricnd.fljip made by the Diitc tory to. Mr, Gerry, might become the bails of a hap py reconciliation.
