Gentlemen, AMONG the various fubje&s which at present occupy the attention of the public, the conduit of the company the Jupiter feeins to be none ot the lealt interelling ; the ipeculative mind of the public is held in suspense, and not knowing the motives on which they have a£led cannot form a proper judgment of their conduit. The following atldreffes, therefore, as tbey tend considerably to elucidate this l'ubje£t, cannot fail of being acceptable. 1 The iit.ft which was sent to Citizen Ge net requires little explanation. The com pany of the Jupiter, anxious to investi gate the causes and to discover the auth ors of the late enormities committed at Cape Francois, in which they weie influ cncc'd to bear a part, and of which we may every moment witneis the miserable conftqutnces, have on just grounds of suspicion arretted their commander, admi ral Cambis, whom they are determined to condu&. with general Galbaud, to the national convention, to answer for their refpeftive conduct before that anguft tri bunal, and in cider the better to efle& this purpose they are determined to lail, as soon as pofiible for France. The ir.inilter on the other hand, felici tous for the. iafety of admiral Cambis, and perhaps with a view towards tht re.ef tabliihwent of order aiid union in the fleet, held a council of war, at his lodg ings on Friday evening last ; when among other matteis, no doubt of equal impor tance, it was detei mined that the prifon erc should be liberated, and that the Ju piter, with some other vessel of the fleet, lhotild be sent on a ciuife. The rtfult of" these deliberations were yerbally communicated to the company of the Jupiter, who finding tliem diaine nically opposite to their intentions, there upon tent the following additCs to the arn bafiidoi'. I he French Republican* of every deno mination, on board die vi'ifct of the republic thi Jupiter To Citizen Genet, mimjler from the Reput)- tiCs to the oniteel Slates of America, Citizen, THE ictlon of deception is palled there is not a French citizen who is un acquainted with his own rights'or yours —We have penetrated through the ob icurity of the council of war held yester day at your hoofc, we were too much in terested in the event not toiucceed in our investigation. Myltery was well fuitt'd to file old government, but. it is used to little purpose tftwards patriotic citizens, i -We know »H, we are no longcnto be de ceived, neither will we be engaged in any fcQti&ion. We are acctifed of beingjhe authors of those very crimes wbtc-invvv have endeavoured to pro vent. The uation al convention alone can be our judge, Mid we will no longer remain here under the pieffure of the mod gi ievo«* aeoufsit ions however great the glory, or however bril liant the laurels which you'prorßife. We have no confidence but in the nation, arid' ; we declare to you, that being determin ed to go and demand at her tribunal Jaf tice and Vengtauce, neither you nor any other (hall detain us longer in the Ameri can seas. Galbaud, that citizen whom you, no doubt are unacquainted wtth, fijjce we know that you y out felt' calumniate'h iin, fliall jro wiih us to the convention, ' Cambis, although tie withes to avoid if fliall go there also, the Ton of Polyerel &.le Blanc whom you wifli to escape from on board the L'Eole, we will in like manner condud to that dtead Couven- tioa. Galbaud, and ourselves, as .we are conscious of our innocence, arc not a- fraid to appear before that juil,tribunal. Citizen minister, attend then to the consequences. You contider us as culpa ble, and before we hare jullified our selves to- the national convention, you fay that you will here makc.ua few the. republic—She fliould have t>o fervaott, no defenders but fnch as are worthy of he r< and when we (hall have ptoved to herthat we are tier true children ; then, when we I (hall be w.orthy to combat her enemies, we will eocouncer them. It i« then to do purpose that you era ploy against us and the other republicans of our fleet, those arts and machinations of the old policy, which though t&ey might indeed be suitable to the Cabinet of * Versailles that receptacle of lies and tyianny, are not agreeable to the priuei pies of Republicans. Yon ate the Representative of there public, be worthy of your office, and do not keep us any longer at a diltance from our country r for in spite of your efforts we will go to her, and (he (hall then give her judgement of that ast, which you will not fail to fully with the name of dis order and want of fuboidictation, but which we call an ast of republicanifnj, be cause we hold if the firtland moll sacred of our duties, to vindicate out innocence before the national convention. •' On board the Jupiter, the of August 1763, the zd year of the l French Republic. Signed by the head officer of each de-" part meat.' * M. Genet was formerly secretary at Verfatlles. The condudt of the company of the Jupiter having been reprcfented to their brethren of the Ainbufcade, the follow ing address is a general jultihcation of fheir proceedings, together with a decla ration of their patriotism, and inviolable attachment to the cause which they have undertaken to defend ; the firft paragraph will oe unintelligible to those who do not know that the company of the Ambus cade, were to have been sent on board the Jupiter to disarm the vessel ; on this occaiion an address was sent to the people of the Ambuscade, to which this para graph has reference. Brothert and Friends, THE moment t>fyour arrival, convin ces us that you have not received a letter which we had the honor to address toyoa this morning ; we doubt not that your commanders have acquainted you with it, as it was addtcfTed to the ctcw —neither do we doubt the pattiotifm of Captain Bompard or his officers.
