1No Jacobin No. I, [31 July 1793] (Hamilton Papers)
It is publicly rumoured in this City that the Minister of the French Republic has threatened to appeal from The President of The United States to the People . Various publications which have recently appeared in the papers particularly that under the signature of Juba in the National Gazette of the 10th instant—and that under the signature of A Jacobin in the General Advertiser of friday last...
2No Jacobin No. II, [5 August 1793] (Hamilton Papers)
The next charge of breach of Treaty exhibited by the Jacobin against the Executive of the UStates, is to use his own language—“the seizure of prizes made known to the Agents of the French Republic at the moment those prizes were held up for sale—the orders given to the Military to take possession of a French Vessel without previous complaint explanation or communication with the Agents of the...
3No Jacobin No. III, [8 August 1793] (Hamilton Papers)
Another accusation against the Executive of the UStates preferred by the Jacobin is derived from this circumstance—That while by the Treaty between the UStates & France the goods of her enemies on board our Ships are exempt from capture; the goods of France on board our Ships are subject to the depredations of her enemies; without any “Steps being taken by the Executive to cause French...
4No Jacobin No. IV, [10 August 1793] (Hamilton Papers)
For the American Daily Advertiser. I have, I believe, sufficiently answered the charges, which the Jacobin has brought against the Executive of the United States. In doing this, it has been shewn, that the claim of a right on the part of France to fit out privateers in the ports of the United States, as derived from treaty, is without foundation. As this is the basis on which it has been...
5No Jacobin No. V, [14 August 1793] (Hamilton Papers)
For the American Daily Advertiser. The observations hitherto made, have been designed to vindicate the Executive of the United States from the aspersions cast upon it by the Jacobin . Let us now examine what has been the conduct of the Agents of France. Mr. Genet, charged with the commission of Minister Plenipotentiary from the French Republic to the United States, arrived first at Charleston,...
6No Jacobin No. VI, [16 August 1793] (Hamilton Papers)
For the American Daily Advertiser. Let it be supposed for argument-sake, that the pretensions of the agents of France, as to fitting out privateers in our ports, enlisting our citizens to serve in them, and holding courts of admiralty within our jurisdiction, for the trial and condemnation of prizes, were well founded, still the conclusion would be, that their conduct is unwarrantable. When...
7No Jacobin No. VII, 23 August [1793] (Hamilton Papers)
For the American Daily Advertiser. One of the earliest exploits which distinguished the career of Mr. Genet, after his arrival in this city, was the placing himself at the head of a political club. The public papers have announced him member of the Society of the Friends to Liberty and Equality , and private report assigning to him the Presidential Chair, does full credit to his exertions to...
8No Jacobin No. VIII, [26 August 1793] (Hamilton Papers)
For the American Daily Advertiser. It was intimated, in the commencement of these papers, that Mr. Genet had threatened to appeal from the President of the United States to the people. The fact, tho’ understood from its source in this city, has of late acquired more formal authenticity. A declaration of this nature demonstrates a total ignorance of the genius and character of the citizens of...
9No Jacobin No. IX, [28 August 1793] (Hamilton Papers)
Two Letters have just made their appearance, respecting the threatened appeal from the President of the United States to the people, one from Mr. Genet to the President—Another in answer to that from the Secretary of State. It is understood, that these letters have come to the public eye, through the channel of Mr. Genet. What he could have meant by the promulgation, is truly a matter of...
