i82 CORRESPONDENCE AND PUBLIC PAPERS.
mality and caution which one can scarce refrain from blaming, when exercised towards such a wretch as Joseph Le
Bon, or Fouquier Tinville.
The Constitution of which I sent you a Copy, is still
under discussion ; several amendments (as we think them)
have been, and it is probable that others will be, adopted;
and I am not without a hope, and even an Expectation
that within a few Months we shall see a form of Government in operation in France which altho' not altogether
meeting our views of Wisdom, will yet be a prodigious
approach towards it; and such a declaration of intentions
towards other Nations as will show more Moderation than
might have been expected from a people covered with so
many Victories.
My plate at Stutgard I found not so nearly finished, as I
had hoped, and of course the publication cannot take place
this Winter. I shall send in a few days to Mr. Pinfield an
impression of it in the State it was last January, as well as a
finished one of Montgomery, from which my friends, I
hope, will be induced to have a little longer patience; they
cannot be so much hurt at the delay as I am.—I beg my
respects to Mrs. Jay and Peter, as well as to Mr. Benson,
King, Hobart, &c. I am with all respect,
Dear Sir, your Humble Servant,
Jn. Trumbull.

upon you by the enemies of their country, gives you a
