Extract of a letter from citizen Talleyrand, Minister of exterior relations, to the Consul General of the French Republic at Philadelphia.
6th Germinal, 6th year, (26th March.)
I enclose you my answer to the note of the commissioners of the United States.-- You will observe that I do away every accusation which they had made against the French government.
The question therefore, now remains in its true point of view.
Two of the envoys are going to return; one remains.
This is a proof that there exists a disposition to treat, & that we are far from entertaining the least idea of a rupture.
