JA Y TO JOHN QUINCY ADAMS. 149
JAY TO JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.
.p. q ^ London, 13th December, 1794.
I am much obliged by your letter of the 2d of this
month; your letter to Mr. Randolph goes by the
Aurora to New York ; we have had several late
arrivals from thence and from Philadelphia. In the
Adriana from the latter place Mr. Samuel Bayard
came passenger; he is appointed by the government
to superintend the prosecution of claims and appeal
in the capture causes. The insurrection in Pennsylvania was dissipating fast, and government will derive
strength from its suppression. The general irritation
had considerably abated ; specie and emigrants were
daily arriving; trade brisk and the prices of all our
productions unusually high. It was believed that
there would be a large majority of federal representatives returned to Congress. Mr. Smith of South
Carolina was re-elected. Notwithstanding the efforts
of our Jacobins, affairs in general had assumed a more
favourable aspect.
Appearances here indicate another campaign ; the
issue of it cannot fail of being important in its consequences. If the United States preserve peace and
tranquillity, they will have reason to be thankful. I
become daily more and more convinced that the best
disposition towards us prevails here. Remember me
to your brother, and be assured of the esteem and
regard with which I am, dear sir,
Your most obedient and humble servant,
John Jay.
