It is to you, good citizens, friends of wisdom C atic
and liberty : immense majority of Frenchmen ! it
is to you that it belongs to second the efforts of the
government 5 form a sacred league to defend the P
C.>r,(lituti'>»al Edifice, which rests now upon the Mot
success of Mandats. Repel those who flatter you [
to draw you into a frightful abyss. You can only tera
save yourselves by aufterc What have those itor,
operated for your good, who have labored hitherto
■ to render you immoral; who have oily irritated
you alternately, and cherilhed your paflions ; who
have (harpened hatred among you, and formed par- Mai
ties ? WW else have they done but favoured your gio<
external enemies, who long ago would have de- ghi]
manded peace of you if they had not been enabled
to set you against each other, and make you tear shi'
out your entrails with your own hands ?
It is against these external enemies, that we must
wake the vengeance of the State.. Cover with iu- gj 8l
dignation and contempt their eternal advocates,
those cowardly writers who drfheft themselves with
traitors; who hive .nothing to present but fright
ful portraits : who avail"themselves of an objedt
only to make the citizens miserable, aftd to divide,
, to defame them. It is time that each df us (hpuld
be proud of being F»?nchmen 1 What are the crimes
of some miserable men to the National glory, men
whom nature has cast upon the territory of Free- '
men ? View the revolution with the fame eyes that om
posterity will view it ; with the fame eyes which f' x "
. the foreigners whom you combat, view it. Resume not
that pioud energy that produced vi£tory; recoiled cot
*our triumphs, and let them be the pledge of new * e P
' • 1 ' or
triumphs.'
Frenchmen, be assured of thit great truth—it is,
that the fafety of all and each of you is in the rigid
execution of the law relative to Mandats. Alrea
dy hare the happy effe&s of their creation been J"'
felt by the bearers of affignats, which increafein va- bo
lue rapidly, although it has been pretended that it ot )
would complete their depreciation. WI
Let no infringement be made upon this law, and £ e
* soon beneficing dew will vivify the happy foil that t,n
nature has adjudged to us. France will arise from clc
that deplorable languor, a devouring stock jobbing ' 1
will cease to exerciie their ravages, activity in arts J* e
and commerce will fuccced, the roads and canals
will no longer be in ruins, the public fundlionaries P'
of the (late will .be indemnified for their painful la- °
bors, the long fufferings of the creditors and pen
fioneis of the slate will be at an end. The melan
choly lot of our iotreped brethren in arm? will be P (
•meliorated, and the national felicity which a dia.- * '
bolical spirit had thought to be able to, separate '
from public probity and the social vittues, will arise
and affumenew life in those iftimortal aßd j
fourcesof all prosperity. 1

commiflioned and sworn, personally appeared Jo- Br

Captain William Dodge, who being duly sworn, j Sci
j did depose and fay, That native of the city
of New York, and that he failed on hoard the said
, (hip in the beginning of the month of Februaiy lalt,
. bound to Bengal in the Brilifh Eall Indies ; that
t on the early part of such intended voyage, meeting
with considerable stress of weather, they were obli Lc
j ged to put in at Fort Royal, in the Island of Mar A
t tinique, at which lalt place, they arrived in the Sv
n clofeof Feb. or the beginning of Match now lalt ; R<
r that ou the day fublequent to fu-h arrival he, the Sy

s longing to the Aftrea, were taken into the custody
, 8 of an officer & press-gang of the MajeHic, a (eventy
four gun (hip, in the commission and service of th>- ou
king of Great Britain ; that fie, the deponent, to

e poffefled of regular p>oteftn>n, which they produ
v or offered to prorluc* npon that occdlion, but
te that these protedions were entirely difiegarded }
f e the reply on uhe part of the grefs-gaiius declaring T
. «« their absolute and fe'tied determination to pro
-7 .cute seamen at all events;'' that immediately after-
V Yards-they were placed, on board the Majeltic ; y
_J their treatment was harsh, ligid and levere ;
that for the space of forty' eight hours, they were
unfurnifhed with any article of subsistence or fobd ;
that during their stay at Martinique an American o
seaman whose name this deponent does not now re- C
colled, having endeavored to effect an escape, was S
retaken and continued in irons during the space of c
three whole days, and then severely whipped ; t at p
they remained on board the Majellic at the harbor f
of Fort Royal about 4 weeks, and then proceeded
X upon a cruise between the Leeward l(l«nds ; that I
■„ t ' after cruising some little time, and touching at set
ife. veral ofthofe islands, on or about the 18th day of e
April, they put in at Dominique, and on the 20th >
of that month, this depot ent fortunately effected an
escape: and this deponent upon his oath aforefaid, t
doth further declare, That during his conti'mnce 1
in the Majellic, there were upwards of 70 citizens ]
and natives of America, most of them poffefTed cf
protections on boaid of that ve(Tel ; and that the
treatment they received was exceedingly cruel and
tyrannical, and much more rigid than was afforded
to those seamen who were fubje&s of Great Britain,
