Answer:

They refused to receive the U.S. Minister to France.

Explanation: In addition to attacking American ships, the French government also refused to receive Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, the U.S. Minister to France. This prompted President Adams to send two more commissioners to aid Pinckney in negotiating with the French.
