NATIONAL CONVENTION.
, will 16 Pluviofe, Wednesday, Feb. 4-
in A deputation of blacks and people of
colour was admitted to the bar.
The Speaker of the deputation. " Ci
i-0 tizen Representatives, the day on which
you proclaimed to the universe, that the
Rights-os Man were fecred, and that his
" perlon was inalienable, you proclaimed
the immortality of the French Revolu
tion. The 16th Pluviofe, the day on
which you declared that men, whom ty
rannical force had made slaves, were Jail |
free, was a day of joy and triumph for !
humanity. Long oppressed innocence has
at length been avenged by your decree, !
which reitored to their natural liberty j
more than a million of men ! It has car
a riedjoy into the hearts of the virtuous,
ncis, and has reduced the wicked to despair.
It has reared a new race in the colonies,
and the enemies of the Republic have al
ready learnt by the capture of their for
ue ' tresses, what can be performed by the
children of liberty
" We come, Citizen Representatives,
to celebrate your Constitution, and the
anniversary of vour decree of the ifith
Pluviofe of last year. We come in the
name of the people of the Colonies to
swear, in this sanctuary of liberty, to live
Tied free or die ; to live free for the prosperity
E, and splendour of the Republic ;or to (tie
fighting in the cause of the Republican
Constitution.
' " Let us remind you, Citizen Repre-
S. fentatives, that, in those parts of the Co
lonies into which the Bi iton and the Spa
: niard have been called by some perfidious*
ton. men, our brethren are bending under the
weight of their chains.—Arms citizens !
hall. Arms and ammunition and our ehorts
(hall loon rid them of their tyrants, and
"■ purify the foil of the Republic. Our for-
mcr butchers, (tor they were not readers)
have done tvtry thing to flop the lending
of succours to the Colonies, succours so
.von u k' u '» necessary, for the interests of
'hck t ' le Republic. Those succours are not yet
sent, under the pretence of some mif
tfo. nnderflanding between the Civil Com- 1
millioners and the Colonists. What re!a 1
er _ tion can exist between the deftrjiyers and
A- 'he friends of liberty ? What is there any ;
t -r- longer in common between colonial ty- [
D- rants, and the men who for two centuries i
havcgioaned under their oppressions.'" <
on This address was received with Lurfts of I
applaule. • r
— Chaffoux. " I move that that part of j
the address, which demaYids arms to free c
their brethren from the yoke of the En- c
glifu, be referred to the Committee of Pub- ti
li« Safety." g
a Pelct proposed for d,fcuffion a plan of a a
g. decree, in the name of the Committee of n
jn Public Safety, for fending Representatives h
of the People to the Colonies situated be- f<
ig yond the Cape of Good Hope. tl
x. Gouly. « Citizens, the Committee of tl
ce Public Safety, in its general report on the b
n- fubjetfl of the different parts of the French p
t, Republic in Asia, Africa,-and tbr Nre a
.1- World, has (hewn you how essential ai d
t. urgent it is to take steps for reftorin- to al
i, 'hem peace, union, and harmony, and for vi
i- attaching them more than ever to the mo- it
i a ther country. ni
" If this salutary measure, demanded bt
e by the Colonies themselves, has appealed y<
1 to the government the only effe<?ual one lie
for supporting the interells of France, and tr
advancing the prosperity of its commerce ; fe<
i tlle situation of the Antilles imperious- w
" ly demands this measure on account of pi
i- the disasters which they hare sustained w
I- it becomes still more necessary for the Isles w
e of France and Re-union (Bourbon) from th
the peculiar circumftancts ia which they ur
are placed. ' f it
li " Citizens, we have seen, that every w
, step of our armies has been marked by a th
r victory. Our infant Republic has tri- w!
:i umphed over the reputation of the most wi
~ famous Generais. We have (hewn the ev
f fame courage upon the ocean, but we 11c
/ could not obtain the fame fuccafs. The Loi
; caiifes are too numerous and too evident to Ti
: be stated. The empire of the lea has re- cu
- mairied to the most perfidious of all nati- wi
1 ons; but the day will yet arrive, ar.d i. is lia
) not far diftaut, when the moil brave and tai
• the most generous will drive before it the it ;
1 usurper of its rights. Far be from us a iai
I vain pusillanimity which would make us fro
■ disguise the truth. In doing so, we (hould tio
. seem to doubt the energy us French Re- of
publicans. Let i.s not be afraid to confefs pel
that our poflVfiions in Asia have fallen a an
prey to the English. We need not fears so i
to disclose our misfortunes, when we are viv
enabled ta repair them. We cannot in- mg
deed yet make the necelTary efforts for that dor
purpose. The spirit of liberty is compol- ant
ed of boldness and of wisdom. It com- seas
mits itfelf to danger, equally when it dares pri;
too much, as when it dares too little. Let our
us now cast our eyes a little nearer home, you
Trance has loft the Mediterranean by trea- bey
son and incapacity. It must be re-con- pro
quered. We must re-create our marine— bert
open again, by the trade of the Levant, to h
those channels of wealth which have been pari
too long obftruiled—infilling thereby the is t(
provisioning of the South, "and establish- lift
ing a free communication with Conftanti- our
nopie. We must protect our commerce, reac
repress the tyrannj of England, and fuc- fror
cour our colonics in the two worlds. Hi- of :
therto we have done move for our glory revc
than our opulence: the Rreedy poluy of Fra]
England has calculated differently: she en- we
riches herfelf at the expenee sf her renown, fam
and her gold conjoles her Jor her dijhonour. the
England has too long been described to us cott
as exhaufled ; the resources which (he furn
draws from ths East Indies are immense. ftrui
so great art the returns which are made if v,
to her from her possessions in that quarter
of the world, that the Engiiih Co..ip.uiy
is n A fuificient to transport them.
It is a fail worthy of attention, and
which history attests, that the nations
which ha ve by turns ruled in Hindoitan,
r have been themolt opulent in the univerie.
° This ancient and fruitful foil renew sat e
very iriftant its treasures, and time has
not yet exhausted it, under all the revo
j^e lutions of nature and of empires. It is
lljs Asia which nurles the pride and opulence
c ' ( of the tyrants of the seas. It is there then,
that leoiier or later they must be attacked:
on * it is in this centre of their riches and of '
their maritime power, that they niuit feel ;
iJij | the. (hock of our republican energy. A'a
■y r i peace with England until we have defiroy
as j ed the Empire which Jhe usurps over the
: i Sea. This is the vow of every French- j
' i man ; but it must be fulfilled upon the j
_ ! ruins of the British commerce in Indn. '
|s As long as Ihe re'ains it, (he will poflifs
l ' the means of dividing us within, and of
s raising up enemies to us from without.—
j' Jhe indignation which Englilh despotism ]
r _ has inspired in the breast of every pr.nce j
e in India ; the old and just animosity of
Tippoo Sultan, which the impotence of '
s our ancient government lb feebly fecond
x't ed ;in a word, the cruelties which have
.*} ben committed by tlieMinilttrs of George <
le in those fertile countries, everything en- j
0 furesto us, against England, Allies faith- |
lc ful and zealous; and humanity, which,
from the Coasts of Malabar and Coronian-
j c del, has so long raised its voice in vain a- '
n gainst the crimes of Hastings and his ac- '
complices waits till we carry to it at once, '
consolation and vengeance. But here a t
question presents itfelf. Is it confiftcnt
with the interests of the French nation to
IS . retain possessions in Asia ? I answer v.'ith-
e out hesitation—No : if the Englilh were
1 expelled from it for ever : if the con - '
s merce of it was left open to us.in common
with all other European nations. But as f
.. long as it remains under the absolute do
i million of an anibitiou»-and lioffile people y
as long as that people finds there the t
y means of harraffing and dividing us, so
f long our interest demands that we lhould f
t attempt to (hare in those possessions, arid
•_ not through a falfe policy, to continue H
. tributary to our most powerful, and our d
most ferocious enemy. X
1 "We do not propole to you to prec;- L
f pitate the execution of this projeift, but tl
- prepare the means which are to enl'ure its tc
s iucrefs. India is not loft to the Republic ~
as long as (he remains in pofleflion of the
F Isles of France and La Re-union, the Gib
raltar of Asia. England knows their im- a [
portance, and will attempt the conquest
: of them. Citizens Colleagues, many cir- b<
cumftanees ought to-fix your serious atten- ti:
tion upon the lituation, political and topo, pi
graphical, of these and the adjacent id
ands. The decree of the i6th Piuviofe, r
rtfpefling the liberty of the negroes, may
have raised some discontents, excited ar
some troubles, and raised some hopes in
the perfidious Englilh, of succeeding in or
their attempts against those colonies, ol fit
butchering the patriots, and seizing their J t
properties, as they have deni at St. Do
mingo. —j — —s Pl
- The firft effects of this decree must
already have taken place, but let us endea- P e
your to preveut the new troubles which rc '
it may occasion. The more those colo- no
nies are important, the more a&ive (hould m <
be your exertions ; and for that purpose, v ,: (
you must tianfmit to them force both phi- i
,fical and moral. The courage of the pa
triots n.uft be revived, and they must be P°
secured from an attack without, and civil w '
war within. Representatives of the Feo- 'at
pie sent there will fofter the public fpir.t, Cc
will repress enemies of every kind, and
will regulate upon Republican principles
the different parts of the Administration,
until the National Convention (hall have r '
finally decided upon the organization lcu
which ;s fitted to the -colonies ; in (hort,
they will constitute the moral force from
which every thingis to be but
without which you expose yourfelf to lose By
every thing. Their presence alone can re
llore tranquility to the minds of the Co
lonists so much agitated and alarmed.—
The Representatives of the people, in se
curing to them internal peace and union, J
will secure to you at the fame time the al- mit
liance and the co-operation of Tippo Sul- (tot
tan, and the other Asiatic powers, whom [} le
it is our interest to attach to Ui. They will •
lave the Isles of France and La Re-union !?' C
from an invasion, or frorff a total revolu- . am
tion and subversion. If you negleel any eno
of those measures, you facrifice two fu- clia
perb co'onies, you give up to the Englilh ty.
an'incalculable quantity of raw materials, lie,
so efiential at the present moment for re- an j
vivmg your manufadlures, and re-creat- f
mg your national commerce ; you abari- 3
don (o them our frigates, our piivateers, C "P
and our merchant (hips which cover those tlUc
seas ; you reftoretothem the innumerable to t
prizes which have been takenfrom then by pre*
our urave brethren of the Isle of France, n ee ,
you ensure to them the empire of the seas
beyond the Cape of Good Hope, and you |
prolong the war of tyranny against the li- I unl
berty of mankind. General plans ought ! feel
to hinder a great nation from executing '"live
particular ones j but surely the mod: urgent Fe
is to save the Isle of France. The Eng- the
lifh watch the moment of wresting it from
our hands. This fordid people, who al
ready draw 360,000,000 livres annually _ .
from their possessions in India, are desirous
us adding to them, and augmenting their c(
revenue by the conquest of the Isle of w
France, and of the Dutch colonies. If n<
we lose the Isle of France, we lose at the ti
fame time La Re-union and Madagascar, To
