It will be recollected, said Mr. N., that since the cause, or imagined cause (let it be one or the other) of complaint against this country, that there has been an intercourse between the two Governments on this subject. It was to be expected that if there had been any intention in Government to have come to an adjustment of the difference between the two countries, our Minister would have been clothed with some power of accommodation. Mr. N. supposed that when the French Directory agreed to receive him, this was their opinion; but upon seeing his letters of credence, they found no such power was given or intended. [He read the object of his mission from the President's Speech, viz: "faithfully to represent," &c.] If these, he said, were all the objects expressed in his letters of credence--and if there had been more, the President would doubtless have informed them of it--the matter perfectly justified the character he had given of it. He made these observations, because he thought on an occasion like the present, the truth should be made to appear, and though an insult had been offered to this country, which could not fail to produce irritation, yet that irritation should stop short of the point where it would produce action, as he was certain any steps taken which might hazard the peace of the country, would not conduce to the welfare of its citizens. There was a subject, he said, which seemed to have involved itself with this, and of which he should take some notice, viz: a charge against certain persons with being attached to the French cause. It might, perhaps, be the opinion of some members of that House, more particularly of strangers, that he was improperly influenced by party zeal in favor of the French, a zeal which it had been blazoned forth existed to an immoderate degree in this country. He had frequently heard insinuations of this sort, which he considered so groundless as to be worthy only of contempt; but when charges of this kind were made in the serious manner in which they were now brought forward, it was necessary to call for proof. Who, said he, is the man who has this proof? He knew of none. For his own part, he had no intercourse with the French but of the commonest kind. He wished those who possessed proofs of improper conduct of this kind, would come forward and show them--show who are the traitors of whom so much is said. He was not afraid of the impressions any such charges brought against him, might make upon his constituents, or where he was known; indeed, he had not the arrogance to believe the charge was levelled against him, though he believed he was frequently charged with a too great attachment to the French cause.
