Excerpt: ... APPENDIX. A VIEW, &C* IN the month of May, 1794, I was invited by the President of the United States, through the Secretary of State, to accept the office of Minister Plenipotentiary to the French republic. The proposition was plain and direct, announcing to me, for the first time, that the executive thought of me for that office ; and certain it is, I did not solicit, desire or even think of it for myself. The secretary observed that Mr. Morris was to be recalled, and it being necessary to appoint a successor, the President had requested him to inform me, he should be glad I would take his place. I received the communication with a due degree of sensibility; but yet the proposal was so new and unexpected, that it was, from a variety of considerations, impossible for me to give an immediate answer to it. I requested some days to deliberate on the subject, which were granted. * The title-page of the View as originally published is A View of the Conduct of the Executive, in the Foreign Affairs of the United States, connected with the mission to the French Republic, during the years 17Q4, 5, & 6.--By fames Monroe, Late Minister Plenipotentiary to the said Republic --Illustrated by his Instructions and Correspondence and other authentic documents.
