Summary
Encloses dispatches from the envoys in Paris. Leaders of the opposition in Congress still oppose efficient measures of defense by sea, and perhaps by land as well. Galatin professes to believe negotiations have begun; Jefferson says "there is no evidence that the Directory had any knowledge of Talleyrands inofficial negociations."
