Tlie caufe of tjie Americans a'gainft tlrt ftejtablic was defended in the Legiflative Body by Emmttd Pajloret, an the metiod of oider, upon the ad Mcflidor.' tbe jA . year. It was pleaded by fome I'rerich' Publicist, -or by Tnen Calling themfclves by this name, But a caule of this nature, between rical emotion, or polemical pamphlets., The mat ter receives no light from the vehemence of the tribpne or the virulence of in vedtlve. Let us luy words but of tbe queftion t let us confider things, "tii di&'culty conEfts in fafts, and ft is . with fa$s which we ought U be acquainted.:' ' .' .:'.'.. A Treaty of Commerce, coneluded by Mr. Jay, is the fource of the difference which we have to in yelligate. This treaty was concluded af London on the ift November, 1794 : it was ratified by che Senate pf the United States, with the exception of one article, upon the 24th of June, 1795. The following is in a few words the biftory of this Oeaty : It is well known that there exift among the Anglo-Americans two declared parties ( the enecon tuls of the merchants, and unfortunately of a ma jority in tbe government andlegiflaiure tliis is tbe JCoglifh paity the cultivators of land, form the other party. The mafi of the people i more in clined to the caufe of France, and to the principles which didated the revolution. The latter remem ber that to France they owe that liber ry which they prize fo much 1 the others mollecl that to England they owe their exigence 1 this at lead is the motive geoerallyundcrftood to actuate tbe two panics.. : It Ismelanchotr todifcover, So every age and in very country, the eternal conteft occahoned by this diction of the human mind, between the ariilo eraucat and dciaocratical fpirit.

I7i3: Thefe treaties of Patis,- compared with that of uuuuu ucguciatca oy rar. jay, gives rife to a pa rallel, andto yemirk very (iriking. We fhall advert to the features of the contrail which were concealed or prevented on PaQoret's motion of or der. At the commencement of the prefent war it was pfopofed to renew the alliance between France and America ; . bur America eluded this pro pofal t Nay,' more ; it endeavoured to form or ratter it fought rand lolicitcd to eftablilh, new bonds of friendmip, of commerce, and intimate conneaion with the Cabinet of London. In 1773, tbe French lavifoed their tresfures and iteiilSSS-oroCthe Americans during the war with the King of CWat-2rT merica concluded with the fame King a moft favour able treaty, at thefame time that this Kingwas car rying on ogalnft the French a war, at once the; moft violent and enjuft. . At the firft ptriod, it wat in ft, a? pa.ril Itfelf, that the trraties betweeii hngland and the United States were nogociated the imereftof the allied nations were then ftipu bt;ed in concerr sgain.1 (hat power which W3S then confidered as tbe common enemy. At prefcut, it h at London where tbey are conducted, without the knowledge of France. It is at Philadelphia wherethofe infidious articles are adopted with myf-teriousfecrecy-rticles by which the interefts of France are deftroyed or trodden under foot. Thefe treatie of JifafftditH, to fjy no worfe, mutl deeply affel the French. They clearly an noonced to them the ruptnreof the alliance which fubfilled between them and the Anerii&ns, although that rupture had not been' written exprcfily in e very article cf the treaty neociited by Mrl lay. It may be aOerted tht it is there literal ly exprefled. We fhall now cooftJer it article by article. itt. The eight firft are occupied In fixing limits.
