To his honor R. K. Ifilford, Esq. Commander of 1
of his majefly's forces at Port au Prince. ai
THE PETITION OF WILLIAM JESSUP,
Mailer of the American ship Mercury, of New- tr
York, humbly sets forih, h
That your petitioner being on his pafTage fronj si
St. Marc's to this porr, was laying to, about one n
' o'clock on the morning of the lftinft. in company
with a number of transports and his majesty's fii- si
gate Snccefs, commanded by capt. Pigot, when si
the Success wore ship and ran foul of the Mercuiy. o
The captain of the frigate ordered his people to n
cut away every thing they could lay their haujls t
ctn. The jib-boom, {pritfail yard, fore stay, top- i
tna'l. .flays, jib flays, flopper, (hank-painters, a
two ttrands of his small bower cable were cut I—>■ i
he further ordered his men to cut away .artd bring .1
on board the frigate, the and fore-top- t
fox matt flay fail, which waif done; capt. Pigot telling 1
hitmen at the fame time, they would do to make i
n ; trowfers. Your petitioner begged capt. Pigot for :
011, God's fake not to cut any more than he could nat I
STa- avoid, or words to that efftft. Capt. Pigot forth- ]
rt ; with commanded his people to bring the d d
rascal that spoke, on board the frigate. Your pc.
k ; titioncr was then seized and ordered on board the
do. frigate, where he remained for a few minutes, 'till
do. the veflels were cleared." Capt. Pigot thereupon
ila- desired the Boatswain's mates to give the d d
jvii rascal, meaning your petitioner, a good flogging,
lo } They took hr.ld of your petitioner and enquired
who he was : it was told he was the matter of the
ays Mercury. Well, said captain Pigot, flog him well,
-lis, and let him flog his officers. Theft orders were in-
Dke flantly obeyed, and in so severe and cruel a manner
hia, that your petitioner was nearly berelt of his senses.
okc During the time your petitioner was thus brutally
nd, beaten and ill-treated, he, your petitioner, made
ew- use of no offenfive language whatever, or no kind
of refiftaDce, but only begged they would have
ola. compassion on him.—No attention was paid to his
irig crios, but, on the contrary, they proceeded to brat
him with the fame violence, until he, capt. Pigot,
to was supposed to be fatisfied. Your petitioner was
now agaiti ordered in the frigate's boat, to be put
rere on board his ship, without ever havingonce exchang
ed a word with capt. Pigot. Your petitioner ar
bon rived here the fame day, when he exhibited the
marki and bruises of his shocking treatment to a
eft, number of the molt refpedtalile inhabitants and o-
Aers in the town of Port-au Prince, who all im
und partially pronounced it an outrage of the moll bru
out tal and unmanly kind, as the certificate annexed to
this paper abundantly tefiifies;
Your petitioner, therefore, humbly pi ays your
.vs. honor to be pleased to interfere 011 his behalf, by
34 such representation as your Itonor may think meet
17 to lay before the proper authority in this country,
23 tiial fhouid take cognizsncc of she abyve affair in
fw.h manner thst he, yrttir petitioner, may obtain hin
that juftu'S ami iuisfaftion whit-h the nature of an At
offence so glaring and uiiprtxe<Je i iiifd l«»ndly callvfur, offt

ACCOUNT OF BABCEUF, a,
SiNCi- Babcetifhai become a person of some si

he is, and what he aimed at, by the Conspiracy.
f The following letter'extra&ed ftom the " Hjftori- I;
aii,'* vviil answer a part of these questions.
•«, Francis Noel Babceuf was born in the ccm- n
- mune of St. Quentiu ; h'e is about 36 years old ; ii
his father, a poot man employed in theexcife upa* v
3 fait, had him taught to write, and he wri:e» ex- r
e tremely well.
y "In 1777, he left his father's house, fought r
- for employment with several perfon6 in quality of « a
II forivener, or copyist j but failed in ptOcuriug any, c
r . on account of his youth, and the want of recom- 1
o mendations. ln the mear» time, he was reduced to 1
Is the most extreme diftiefs ;he was absolutely naked :
)- Some ptrfon through pity the place of (
f a servant in • some nobleman'# family, who resided
-» near Roye—he accepted it—he served i.ll that fitu
g :»tion about 3 yeais. The fotmei Lord of the ef :
s- taie was then about renewing the registry of his
ig lyids-v Babceuf wrote well, and he employed him
ie in the business ;he dt(J not want for penetration, he
jr applied hiinfclf diligently, and became a pretty good
□ft feudift.- During these trar.factions *ie got a cham
h- ber-maid with child and married-her. His new
-d feudal acquirements having made him insolent, he
>e. was turtied away. Having 'yft his new tttufuion,
fie he brougfit a suit against his ipaikr, and loft his
ill" cause. lnftrudlcd in the feudal business, he deter
an mined to enter into bulinefs on his own account
-d He lixed at Royc and announced himfelf commifli

Ed A lady who refidsd at Paris, entrusted hiri) with
he the renewal of the rent-roll of a fnaal! fief which (he
:11, pofTefted near*" Roye. He pei formed it, received
in- the arrearages, rendered no account., was sued by
icr the lady snd lsft his cause. The former piior of
es. St. Aurin, near Roye, entrusted him wi h the te
lly newal of the itgiiliy of his priory—he performed
dc it, engaged in a law-suit with the prioi, and 101 l
nd his cause. ,
ive The former Marquis of Loyecourt being about
lis to renew the registry of his lands, gave him di
rat reftion of it.—He began the woik, but the in.'olent
jt, letters whi«i he wrote to the tenants having caused
'as complaints againfi him, the Marqujs withdrew his
itit confidence from him—this displeased Babccuf, he
ig commenced a profecui ion and loft his QMife.
it- from that time, till the year 17891, he lived by

a beginning of the revolution he by hawking
