[33] Months after Monroe arrived in France, the U.S. and Great Britain concluded the Jay Treaty, outraging both the French and Monroe—not fully informed about the treaty prior to its publication. Despite the undesirable effects of the Jay Treaty on Franco-American relations, Monroe won French support for U.S. navigational rights on the Mississippi River—the mouth of which was controlled by Spain—and in 1795 the U.S. and Spain signed Pinckney's Treaty. The treaty granted the U.S. limited rights to use the port of New Orleans.[34]
Washington decided Monroe was inefficient, disruptive, and failed to safeguard the national interest.  He recalled Monroe in November 1796.[35]  Returning to his home in Charlottesville, he resumed his dual careers as a farmer and lawyer.[36] Jefferson and Madison urged Monroe to run for Congress, but Monroe chose to focus on state politics instead.[37] John Skey Eustace was the author of several pamphlets,[38] some designed to embarrass James Monroe:[39][40]
In 1798 Monroe published  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 1794, 5, and 6 .
