News of this event reached the Secretary of State October 9, 1794. In writing to the President on that date Randolph felt himself "happy that Col. Monroe´s instructions forbid him to attach himself to the uncertain fate of any individuals," and that this was the only effectual security for the United States amidst such a series of unprecedented revolutions. "So signal an event, if true," he continued, "must make a part of his first despatches; and possibly may demand some very special instructions to him." 1794. Aug. 2. Monroe´s arrival in Paris. 1794. Aug. 15. Received by the National Convention. 1794. Aug. 20. General Anthony Wayne defeats the Indians near Maumee Rapids. 1794. Aug. 31. Date of Fauchet´s intercepted despatch.
