To the Printers of the Daily Adverti
ser.
Gent trtien,
A MONG the various fubje&s which at
p efent occupy the attention of the
public, the conduct of the Company of the
Jupiter seems to he none of the least intc
relting—th ■ Oieculative mind of the publii
js held in fnfpenfe, and not knowing the
jnotives 0.1 which they have a&ed, canno:
form a proper judgment of their conduit.
The following addrefles, therefore,
they rend conliderably to elucidate th
lubj ?£t, can lot fail of be ng aeceptab e.
The fir.l which was sent to Citizen Ge
ret, requires little explanation. The
Company of the fnpiter, anxious to inve
the caules and tn discover the authors 01
the late e.i ■ mities committed at Cape
Irancois, in which they were influenced to
bear a part, and of which we *1 iv every
moment witu»fs t i» iniferable confequen
ces, hive on jnlf grounds of fufp'cion u -
1 eftsd their commander. admiral Cam:.is.
*vhom they n-e determined to conduit,
i g» ier.il G-i I'i md. to the National
Convention, toanfwer for their reflective
conduct before that augiift tribunal—and
3n order t!ie better to this purpose,
t icy are determined to fail, asfoon as polfi-
Ale for Fra'.ice.

perhaps with a view towards the re-effib

uiattei , no do :bt of equal importance, it

be liberated, and that the Jupiter, with
some other vessels of the fleet, ihould be

B 'hers ar.<l Friends,
T HS moment of your arrival, convinces

At? had tne honor to address to you thi>
"l -rnip.; we doubt not that your com
manders have acquainted you with it, as
w::: add relied to the crew—neither do we
:lou 1 the patriotilm of captain Bompaid,
or his officers.
Remember we are all children of one
cot, mo-i irother, our country.
Remember rhut we all delend the fame
;anf, .—- fji, oath which <v? h-ve tahen,
to defend Liberty and "Equality, is furcly
irrevocable.
We have been painted to you in the
blackest colours, ancfw :io can prove that
we h vp acted o ntr- ry to true patriotism.
Ah ! b ethren, ho»- great, how nume
rous, are our common enemies ; traver'fe
every part of the world, and you will find
in each of them beings, who, under the
ipecious mailt of patriotism, devise the
blackest plots againfl the defenders of f<i
beneficent a republic: no sooner i-, one
project discovered, than they contrive
others, which in their turn are dictated—
what do they, what is their last resource ?
'T'hey Tow the f. Eds between the
different companies of the ' eflels of that
republic, which we bave all of tis sworn
to maintain, and we now swear that we
are ready to spend our last breath in her
defence. _
Citizens, if we were culpable, the ene
mies of the cause which we have bravely
and firmly defended, would readily have
madeu« return to France, to undergo the
puniftiment which the law inflifti on ail
Frenchmen who :ire traitors to their coun
try. Can there be any doubt of our patri-
Oiifm, alter having con bated the opinions
'■f the tr-itor Hlanchelaude, the flagitious
La V oiqniere, and many others whom we
'hall not forget to name to the National
Convention.
Fear the language, of reason; we who
address you are Frenchmen, we are your
rothers—we (wear to continue To, being
fi.-il perfnaded that when we fliall have ap
•eared before the tribunal of juilice. you
viil an hundred times repeat, "Where

the Secretary of State, have I cr>mp! a i,.ed

ne. lared that the federal goverr.aient, fa,

demon Orations of our real an<l difintereftcc
Iriendfhip, were faerificing our interests tc
thole of our enemies, by their interpreta

Amer.ca with their defile to observe « if,

liberty,npon which their very exigence an:
prosperity depend. Certain decifioin <,l
your tribunals and verdifls of your juries

tizens publicly exprefled, might permil int
without a crime to draw this inference.
Nevertheless certain persons, actuate,
by views which time will develope, <U
pairing to attack my principles, have de

withdrawing from me that esteem whicl
the public feel and avow for the represen

I'fli with great warmth that I have infultec

an appeal to the people, as if you woulc
pei nut any one u ith impunity to treat you
« uli difrefpea, or as if the flighted hint ol
an appt al which, a magidratedefervincr ol
his h.gh office, ftould ardently desire wa
to you the greatell offence I could offer.
It is become necessary, Sir, to tliffipatc
.' le " culuilimes by truth, and publi
city.—l dare therefore to expeitfrom yom
c mdor and probity an explicit dedaratior
that. I have never intimated to you an in
