What is the x y z affair?

In 1789, when President Adams sent diplomats to Paris to discuss the rights of neutrals during the French and British war.. The French foreign minister himself would not deal directly with the Americans so he sent three French agents to offer the Americans a deal. The deal was that the Americans had to pay a great deal of money in order for French to avoid seizing American ships. The reason its called the X Y Z Affair is because Adams did not reveal the 3 agent's names.
