JA Y TO WILLIAM BINGHAM. 153
JAY TO WILLIAM BINGHAM.
Dear Sir : New York' 3I May*I785#
I have been favoured with yours of the 12th February, containing a copy of 16th October last, for which
accept my cordial thanks.
Your observations in France respecting a certain
event coincide exactly with what I expected on that
subject. Indeed, the many interesting remarks spread
through your letter appear to me to have weight.
Our last accounts give us reason to suppose there
will be no war between the Emperor and the Dutch,
so that the continuance of a general peace begins
again to appear probable.
Our frontier posts still have British garrisons, and
we are impatient to hear why they are not evacuated.
Mr. Adams, I suppose, is by this time in London;
his letters will remove our suspense on that head.
The African States have alarmed us, but we hope
peace with them may be obtained. Your attention
to that subject is commendable, and you may do
good by communicating the result of your inquiries
to Mr. Adams.
Our affairs are settling by degrees into order. If
power be given to Congress to regulate trade and
provide for the payment of their debts, all will be
well. Difficulties on those points still exist, but several ideas daily gain ground. The people of Boston
resent British restrictions, and if the same spirit
should become general it will probably influence the
States to enable Congress to retaliate and extend
their powers accordingly. The Empress of China
