removing him from the command of the army. The hope, however, of, better times, the news of the alliance with France, and the unwillingness of fhewing difcontent, diffipated the

matter.

"Nothing was done in the campaign of 1778, 1779, 1780, in the part where General Washington commanded, except the taking Stony Point by General Wayne. The fouthern ftates, in the mean time, were overrun by the enemy. They were afterwards recovered by General Greene, who had, in a very great measure, created the that accomarmy

plished that recovery; In all this General Washington had no fhare. The Fabian fyftem of war, followed by him, began now to unfold itfelf with all its evils; for what is Fabian war without Fabian means to fupport it? The finances of Congrefs, depending wholly on emiflions of paper Its credit money, were exhausted. was gone. The continental treasury was not able to pay the expence of a brigade of waggons to tranfport the neceffary ftores to the army, and yet the fole object, the establishment of the revolution, was a thing of remote diftance. The time I am now fpeaking of is in the latter end of the year 1780.

"In this fituation of things it was found not only expedient, but abfolutely neceffary, for Congrefs to ftate the whole cafe to its ally. I know More of this matter (before it came into Congrefs, or was known to General Washington), of its progrefs, and its iffue, than I chufe to ftate in this letter. Colonel John Lawrens was fent to France, as an envoy extraordinary, on this occafion, and, by a private agreement between him and me, 1 accompanied him. We failed from Botton in the Alliance frigate, February 11, 1781. France had already done much in accepting and paying bills drawn by Congrels, the was now called upon to do more. The event of Colonel Lawrens's mil

fion, with the aid of the venerable minister Franklin,was, that France gave in money, as a prefent, fix millions of livres, and ten millions more as a loan, and agreed to fend a fleet of not lefs than thirty fail of the line, at her own expence, as an aid to America.. Col. Lawrens and myself returned from Breft the first of June following, taking with us two millions and a half of livres (upwards of two hundred thoufand pounds) of the money given, and convoving two fhips with ftores

We arrived at Boston the twenty fifth of Auguft following. De Graffe arrived with the French fleet in the Chesapeak at the fame time, and was afterwards joined by that of Barras, making thirty-one fail of the line. The money was tranfported in waggons from Bolton to the bank of Philadelphia, of which Mr. Thomas Willing, who has fince put himself at the head of the lift of petitioners in favour of the British treaty, was then prefident. And it was by the aid of this money, of this fleet, and of Rochambeau's army, that Cornwallis was taken, the laurels of which have been unjustly given to Mr. Washington. His merit in that affair was no more than that of P. 54. any other American officer."

This is the ground upon which America now ftands.-All the rights of commerce and navigation are to begin anew, and that with loss of character to begin with. If there is fenfe enough left in the heart, to call a blufh into the cheek, the Washing ton administration must be ashamed to appear.

And as to you, Sir, treacherous in private friendship, (for you have been fo to me, and that in the day of danger) and a hypocrite in public life, the world will be puzzled to decide whether you are an APOSTATE or an IMPOSTOR? Whether you have abandoned good principles, of whether you ever had any?"
