The Patowmac Guardian, And Berkeley Advertiser

Thursday, December 19.

From the American Daily Advertiser.

The Printers of the American Daily Advertiser have received the following statement from an authentic source, with permission to make the source known to any party concerned, who may desire it.

Mr. DALLAS having lately made a statement differing from that of Mr. Jay and Mr. King, with regard to the declaration alledged to have been made by Mr. Genet, namely, "that he would appeal from the President to the People," the following circumstances may serve to assist the public judgment concerning the real nature of the transaction.

C.

The information which was certified by Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Knox to have been received from Governor Mifflin, was communicated by the Governor to those gentlemen separately; to the latter, the day after the evening of the interview between Mr. Genet and Mr. Dallas, at which the declaration was understood to have been made being Saturday, the 6th of July last, to the former, the day following, that is the second day after the interview. Those gentlemen deeming it a matter of public importance, immediately connected with an object upon which they had to act officially compared to each other at the time, the information they had severally received from the Governor, and found it to agree as to the point in question. being precisely this, that Mr. Genet had said to Mr. Dallas, "That he would appeal from the President to the people."

The same second day after the interview between Mr. Genet and Mr. Dallas in an official conference between Mr. Jefferson, Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Knox. having relation to the affair which gave rise to the above-mentioned declaration, Mr. Jefferson stated that Mr. Dallas had told him likewise that Mr. Genet had said "that he would appeal from the President to the people"—the terms corresponding with those which had been used by Governor Mifflin in his separate communications to Mr. Knox and Mr. Hamilton.

The two last mentioned gentlemen, in an official paper drawn up and signed by them the 9th of the same July, a copy of which was then delivered to Mr. Jefferson, recited the information they had received in the following words—"The declaration of the minister of France to Mr. Dallas, Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as related by him to the Governor of that Commonwealth and to the Secretary of State, is a further confirmation of the same system. That declaration among other exceptionable things expressed, that he, the French Minister, "would appeal from the President to the people."

Mr. Jefferson in an official paper under his signature, dated the 10th of the Same July, stated the same transaction in the following words—"On repeating to him (the Governor) and Mr. Dallas what Mr. Genet had said, we found that it agreed in many particulars with what he had said to Mr. Dallas; but Mr. Dallas mentioned some things which he had not said to me and particularly, his declaration that he, "would appeal from the President to the people."

The conversation between Governor Mifflin, Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Dallas, at which this passed. is stated in the same paper, to have happened on Sunday the 7th of July the day after the evening of the interview between Mr. Genet and Mr. Dallas.

No comments will be made on these particulars.

The public is left to draw it's own inferences.

Those Printers who may have published Mr. Dallas's statement, are requested to insert the foregoing.

TO THE PUBLIC.

A supplementary certificate, in aid of the statement that has been furnished by Mr. Jay and Mr. King, relative to Mr. Genet's conversation with Mr. Dallas. in the case of the Little Democrat, has been published without the names of it's authors; but a report has been raised that this supplementary certificate is published by the Governor and Mr. Jefferson.

A party concerned has therefore enquired into the fact : and. let the circumstance reported may serve to mislead the public judgment concerning the real nature of the transaction, he thinks it proper to state that he is informed, by the Printers, that the supplementary certificate is composed and published by the same persons, Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Knox, who composed and published the original certificate (of which, indeed, it is merely a verbal amplification) annexed to the Statement of Mr. Jay and Mr. King.

No comments will be made on this particular—the public is left to draw its own inferences.

Those Printers who publish the Supplementary Certificate of Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Knox, are requested to insert the foregoing.
