- Notes about Genet's removal as French minister in the United States. Invective against Jay's certificate that claimed to have evidence concerning Genet's supposed threats against the person of the president. Discusses Jay's recourse to the 'awful tribunal of the public' (about Genet), his position as Supreme Court justice and the rights of the citizenry of New York State vis-a-vis the constitution. Reclaims governance by law vs. rule of the passions.
