FROM THE PUBLIC LEDGER.
MEMOIR,
IN JUSTIFICATION OF
GENERAL MOREAU.
Translated from the French by G. L. Gray.
(FOURTH CHARGE—Continued from Yesterday's Advertiser.)
Thus we see how Lajolais has been drawn, perhaps in spite of himself, and without any design of injuring general Moreau, into these falsehoods, merely to avoid dangerously committing himself with those to whom, in London, he had sold his fables for a subsistence. Here also we see the explanation of his conduct at the trial, where in the presence of that illustrious man who had been brought into jeopardy by his inventions, conscience asserted her terrible influence over him. He was evidently divided between personal interest and pride, which forbade him to acknowledge himself an imposter; and personal honour and probity, which commanded him not to bear false witness against Moreau; and compelled him to re-examine his former declarations, to affirm that they had not been correctly stated, or to avow that, not being a Frenchman, he was not aware of the full latitude of his own expressions; to explain a way those which might imply guilt; to confess that he might have been mistaken, that Moreau had not promised a rendezvous at the Boulevard-de-la Madeleine, that he was not there, and that in one word, he had never been employed by Moreau as an emissary to London, nor as a mean of communication with the royalists. This tardy sacrifice to truth, if not sufficient to repair all the injury done to Moreau by Lajolais, yet entitles the latter to some degree of indulgence.
We continue to state the denials of General Moreau.
He denies having assented to receive the first visit of Pichegru at his house; and independent of the tergiversations of Lajolais, probability alone will satisfy any one that it was not with his consent. Lajolais even from his first interrogation has declared that this visit was at a time when general Moreau was surrounded by his friends. According to the custom for some late years prevalent in the principal houses in the capital, the general had appointed one day in each week to entertain a kind of periodical society. On this day Pichegru made his first visit. Surely had Moreau appointed the time for a meeting, we will not say with Pichegru the conspirator, but Pichegru the proscribed, to whose safety every degree of precaution was necessary, he never would have named this day in particular, and designated the very hour, when by the laws of fashion, his doors must have been crowded by the influx of company. It is at least a consolation for general Moreau, that, almost in every instance, the act of accusation, as it concerns him, is at open war with common sense.
It is this common sense that again gives the contradiction to Roland, when he assures that Moreau had assented to the second interview with Pichegru, and had sent his secretary to conduct him. Moreau on the contrary asserts that he refused to grant this interview, and that to free himself from the solicitations of Roland, he sent his secretary to enquire what was the will of Pichegru in requesting it. Which of these opposite assertions will be credited? That which does not offend against probability; that of Moreau.
What was the business of Roland with Moreau? to ask a rendezvous for Pichegru? it is granted. Is any thing more simple than the conclusion that follows. Roland asks Moreau to permit the visit of Pichegru; Moreau assents: Roland goes away contented; Pichegru comes at the appointed time, either alone, for he already knew the way, or with Roland from whom he had no concealment: Where then the necessity of employing M. Fesnier? Why should he bear to Pichegru a message which would have been more safely entrusted to Roland? It was necessary that Pichegru should be known by as few persons as possible. If then the intermediacy of a fourth person was resorted to, it must have been because it was rendered indispensable by some purpose for which, Roland was unfit; it was because general Moreau not wishing the visit of Pichegru, who, according to Roland, had something serious to communicate, and desiring to be at once rid of all importunities, sent his secretary to receive his communication. Every conclusion of reason and logic on this point, is in favour of the assertion
of Moreau, and against Roland. It is then Roland who is untrue.
He is untrue on a point still more important. We must now speak of that monstrous charge of which he is the author, and the bare allusion to which makes the soul recoil with horror.
We must remember that according to the declaration of all the accused, not excepting either Lajolais or Roland, the royalists in calculating on Moreau found themselves deceived. Of this they were convinced from the very first attempts to discover his sentiments. From the reception of the insinuations of Pichegru, they had rejected every idea that should we unhappily lose our pilot, and the storm again return, they could derive any aid from him. We are informed that Pichegru, perceiving this invincible resolution, in his political conversation with Moreau, and not being able to account for it on any other principle than that of personal ambition, exclaimed in a moment of extreme discontent—I see that b..... has sufficient ambition. Roland bore a confirmation of this sentiment from his conference the next day.
Let us here pause for a moment.
Since it appears that Moreau neither wished the success of the Bourbons nor of the royalists, it is thence evident—
That he could not have been their accomplice:
That he made no proposals to them in London:
That he never promised them his support:
That he did not invite them to France:
That his plotting with Pichegru is imaginary:
That the mission of Lajolais must be a fable:
That his concerting with Georges is a calumny.
That in a word, whatever may be the offences of Moreau towards the government, there is real, palpable, and monstrous absurdity, in bringing him to judgment as a conspirator with the royalists.
But whence the necessity of a train of reasoning to prove that a man did not plot the ruin of his own fame? If the name of Moreau is celebrated in Europe, it has become so by the disasters of the House of Bourbon: by victories acquired over its allies and protectors: by its present disgrace which makes it every way improbable, that it should ever again be restored to power! Yet do not those tremble at the baseness of the charge, who suppose that Moreau wished its return to France! What honor, what recompense could he thence derive? Then indeed might he expect to be reproached and arraigned as a traitor. Then would he himself be obliged to bury all his trophies, and never again to recall any of his glorious achievements; which from the moment of its re-establishment, would be declared rebellion, and must mark him out as the most distinguished of rebels!
Yet of what else is general Moreau accused? He casts his eyes around him, on those crouded and fatal benches; Whom does he there perceive? Far be it from his intention to insult their misfortunes; through the struggles in which we have been involved, the lot of preserving a pure character has fallen to very few; yet he cannot refrain from observing, that, there he does not see one republican, not one soldier with whom he ever held a communion of conduct or sentiment. He beholds only determined royalists, who have with a fanatic and unbroken faith, continued their attachment to their party. He looks for his accomplices and meets only adversaries and enemies. He is the only republican who there occupies a seat; nor dare one of those on either side claim him as their associate. All that any of them has ventured to say, is that he wished them to enter into personal resentments, and to abandon their own cause to promote his.
And who even thus far accuses him?
Roland.
Where are the proofs which support the charge?
In the word of Roland.
How did Moreau discover his conspiracy?
In a conversation.
What accomplices, what partisans did he name?
None.
Have none of those with whom he plotted been discovered?
None.
All his domestics, and many of his friends have been arrested, have none of those suffered the secret to escape them?
None.
All his papers have been seized; has none of them betrayed the features of this plot?
None.
Indeed! What is then the nature of this wonderful conspiracy, without associates, without witnesses, without evidence, without support, and above all without conspirators?
Learn from Roland. Roland says that Pichegru, who intrigued for the royalists, not having been permitted to explain himself to Moreau, at their last interview, and seeing all his insinuations disregarded or repulsed, sent Roland to make the famous overture (we use his own words.) It had not then been made; and consequently at this time Moreau had not been associated in any of their plans as their confidence had not then been given to him. Roland adds that he made his proposition, and that Moreau absolutely refused to take part in any movement in behalf of the Bourbons. Moreau therefore is not guilty of any conspiracy whose object was their restoration. Roland goes on to say, that at the same time Moreau proposed that Pichegru should change his plan, that he should first remove the consul and governor of Paris, and then Moreau would avail himself of a party in the senate to obtain the dictatorship, and would act according as opinion should direct.
Roland at the trial, when pressed by his conscience, though he let one part of his former testimony remain, rescinded others—He there said that he did not understand the words the consuls and the governor of Paris must disappear, as signifying a desire that they should be murdered; that Moreau speaking to him on his pretensions to power or authority had said, that before he could receive it, the consuls and all those possessed of public dignity must be no more.—Judge what credit should be given to a witness who is capable of varying his testimony on a point of such importance: and on what tenure do our best citizens hold their lives and honor, if they depend upon the construction which every wretch shall please to affix to a real or imagined conversation.
A conversation! The very idea that a conversation, however seditious it may be, could constitute the crime of high treason, is repugnant to every principle of justice. Moreau is not reproached with having performed one treasonable act. His conduct is at least pure, whatever his heart may be. He has taken no steps, seduced none to be his accomplices, in this supposed plot. But, as we are assured by Roland, he spoke seditiously; and we are to believe that Roland neither heard indistinctly, misapprehended, nor have forgot any part of what Moreau may have said. Is the memory of any man so rigorously tenacious as to be positive, after such a lapse of time, that, such and such words were used in a conversation; that they were used in the same order in which they are repeated; that no modification, no inflection, no accompanying lenative, by escaping from recollection has distorted the meaning of the speaker. And admitting them to have been spoken, shall the utterance of mere fugitive words, send a man to the scaffold? No! the government under which we live, delights only in justice, never can permit such a wide departure from it. No! never under this government shall we hear of a citizen being condemned for the crime of words, on the unsupported word of a detailer. But when this detailer, besides being proved by the accused to be a liar, is according to every rule of judgment, a vile calumniator, the object of his calumny is much less exposed. We shall now out of his own mouth prove the falsehoods of Roland.
If we believe this Roland, he was the agent of a party of Royalists. If from him Moreau received the confidence of Pichegru, he must have known that Pichegru acted in concert with Georges and his friends; that is to say, in concert with the most resolved and faithful adherents of the house of Bourbon. And we are told that Moreau, in answer to the overtures made to him, whether by Roland or Pichegru, gave this reply—“I never will serve the princes of Bourbon. But let the royalists immediately proceed to execute their design. I will not mix in the broil. I will wait its success. Let them kill the Consul and the Governor of Paris. And then, when the danger shall have passed by, when every obstacle shall have been surmounted, when the struggle shall have been crowned with success, when the royalists are masters of the state, then instead of proclaiming the king for whose sake they devoted themselves, they shall renounce the immediate object for which they incurred so great a risk, and they shall call upon me: I will then come forward to reap the harvest of their toils and perils; I will go to the Senate, and declare myself dictator!!!” Before this

day, did ever an idea so full of folly enter the brain of a lunatic, as that of supposing that all these pure royalists should, at once, in the hour of success, abandon the cause of their king to become the soldiers of the dictator Moreau!!!
Roland offends still more against the laws of common sense than against those of truth, and cannot be believed in any of his declarations: In the shock of the two voices, that of the accused ought to prevail in as much as the testimony of Roland has varied at different times.
Another of his impositions is the declaration that Moreau boasted of a strong party in the Senate. Without noticing the injury here done to the first constitutional body in the state, we would demand, if this were so, why do we not at this moment behold any of those unfaithful senators at the bar of this tribunal.
But, we are asked, what interest could induce Roland to give false testimony?
The interest of Roland may be two-fold. In the first place it may be none other than that of a vile informer, who has denounced a fictitious crime to merit a substantial recompense. This supposition will not appear unfounded when we consider the species of complaisance which has been peculiarly shown to him. All the other prisoners have been thrown into the cells of the Temple. He only, the systematic agent for corrupting Moreau and by consequence doubly offending, was lodged in the abbey: He only was allowed his counsel, and a free communication with his friends, both personally and by letters; while neither the voice of a friend nor the sigh of a relative was permitted to penetrate the secret dungeons which almost excluded the others from the light of heaven.
But if this supposition is erroneous, if he is really a conspirator, his interest may be of a different nature, but not less powerful; that of appeasing the violated majesty, and disarming the awful severity, of the law by becoming a general informer. In one of the interrogatories on his first examination an idea of clemency was held out to him, and a distinction taken, which would greatly soften his fate. If you declare nothing, say the ministers of justice to him, you will be looked upon as an accomplice, if you divulge the whole, you will be considered merely as a confidant. What more was necessary to inspire a base and cowardly spirit with the hopes of saving himself at the expence of others; to testify falsehoods where he knew the truth would not attain his purposes.
Roland is not only under accusation as an accomplice in the same crime, but he is also suspected of interested and sinister motives; his evidence; therefore ought not to be believed.
He ought not to be believed, because his assertions are unsupported by any other authority or circumstance.
He ought not to be believed, because probability and common sense, in every instance, contradict his testimony.
He ought not to be believed, because fugitive words are too susceptible of variation, for any one to be able to declare, with certainty, that they have been delivered in the order reported, or with the arbitrary meaning attached to them.
Consequently all the proof of the conspiracy which Moreau is charged with having contrived or approved, being found in the solitary declaration of one in the predicament of Roland, Moreau ought to be absolved.
(To be continued.)
Late Foreign Intelligence.
Glasgow papers to the 21st August, inclusive are received at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser, by the ship Factor from Greenock. They contain London intelligence to the 17th, one day later than our former advices: but nothing of moment. The following are the most prominent articles.
GREENOCK, August 21.
Since our last very little has occurred of material public importance. Invasion continues to be the order of the day on both sides of the channel. The Emperor is embarking & disembarking on the one side; whilst our illustrious Commander in Chief is equally busy, in reviewing and setting to order on the other.
The Hamburg Mail due on Sunday arrived on Friday morning.
It appears that the fleet under Lord Nelson has been annoying the enemy near Marseilles. The attempt made by them
in their accounts to disguise the fact, only tends to confirm it. He has captured and burnt 5 Genoese ships; and taken possession of the largest of the Hieres Islands to the south of Toulon, with 1800 men and 18 pieces of cannon, and established there an hospital for 600 sailors. The fleet of Admiral Nelson off Toulon consists of twenty seven sail.
By this Mail the following statement has been received of the force of the Russian Imperial Army: Exclusive of 12770 invalids, it consists in the whole of 498 859 men, among which 42,919 are artillery-men, 70,884 soldiers in garrison, 219,125 field infantry, 49,738 cavalry, 9,308 foot guards, and 3,316 horse guards.
LONDON, August 16-17.
Dispatches have been received at the Admiralty from Lord Nelson, and a number of private Letters are in Town down to the 1st of July, which state, that the French fleet in Toulon is apparently ready for sea.
Dispatches were on Wednesday received at the Admiralty from Sir James Saumarez, at Jersey, which state that an expectation was daily entertained of an attack from the enemy, several movements having of late observed to have taken place. Dispatches were also received from Admiral Thornborough, dated off the Texel, the 11th instant. The enemy remained nearly in the same position as they did when the previous accounts were transmitted.
Dispatches were on Wednesday received from the Brest squadron. The enemy, we learn, are still in the outer harbour, watching an opportunity to escape, which if the elements do not interfere, we trust the vigilance and seamanship of our squadron will not afford them.
Some of our cruizers off the coast of Holland and Flanders last week looked into the Roads of Amsterdam and Ostend. In the former were thirty four vessels of different descriptions: and in the latter, fifty-six were counted, mostly gun boats and cutters, as all transports had been removed into the canal coming from Bruges, and their number could not therefore be ascertained. Information has been received, that forty-four more gun boats and flat bottomed-boats, built upon the banks of the Moselle, had descended the Rhine, and were in the waters of Holland, and would probably in a week arrive at Flushing, to be fitted out there. An aid-de-camp of Admiral Verheul had brought orders from Gen. Monnet, commander of the French troops in Zealand, to hasten the departure of all armed vessels through the interior canals of Flanders. All neutral vessels from the Dutch Harbours report, that the common opinion in Holland is, that Bonaparte intends to have the expedition undertaken soon; but at the same time, that his officers and men are no more so sanguine in their expectations of an easy conquest in this country, or speak with the same contempt of the nation of shopkeepers as they did last year, some superior officers, who have dared to remonstrate against a landing of an army embarked in gun boats, unprotected by men of war, have been broken by Bonaparte.
The Bengal fleet, consisting of seven ships, and estimated at 2,000,000l. is expected to arrive 1st of next month and no apprehensions are now entertained for their safety.
The Marquis Wellesley, has transmitted notification of his design to quit Bengal early in the ensuing season.
The Court of Directors of the East India House have voted the following sums to the Captains, Officers, and Seamen of the China fleet, for their gallant conduct in beating off the French squadron under Admiral Linois:—
To capt. Dance 2000 guineas and a piece of plate value 200 guineas; capt. Timens 100 guineas, plate 100; capt. Moffatt, 500 plate 100; capt. Henry, Wilson, Farquharson, Torin, Clarke, Menton, Wordsworth, Kirkpatrick, Hamilton, Farrer, Penaegrass, Brown, Larkins, and Luckner, 500 each, plate 50; chief officers 150 guineas; second, do. 125; third, fourth, pursers, and surgeons 80; fifth, sixth, surgeons' mates, boatswains, gunners, carpenters, 50 each; midshipmen 30, other petty officers, 13; seamen, ordinary seamen, and servants, 6.
Lieutenant Fowler, passenger on the Camden, captain Dance, for the services he rendered, 300 guineas for a piece of plate.
The value of the fleet thus saved, on an estimate made by the Supercargoes including the private as well as the public investments, appear to be above 3000,000l. sterling.
The Courts in addition to the above bounty to the officers and crew, have resolved,
that the usual gratuity of 30l. and a pension from the Popular Fund shall be granted to the nearest relative of the seamen who fell in the action with Linois.
Wednesday night Moniteurs to the 5th inst. were received, but they bring very little intelligence. Bonaparte continued on the coast as late as the 1st. inst. reviewed the troops destined for the invasion of this country: he was at the the Ambletesque on that day.
It is stated in the Moniteur of the 4th that Ibrahim Bey, at the head of the Mamlukes, had made himself master of Boulac and Old Cairo.
Private Letters have been received by the Hamburg Mail, which state, that the French, having failed in their attempts to raise a loan in Bremen, had actually blockaded that city, and had threatened, if the money was not immediately advanced, to raise it by Military execution.
Application has been made to the city of Lubeck for a loan which has been refused. These outrages of the French must accelerate that confederacy of the northern powers of which Bonaparte seems to feel such an apprehension; and the circumstance of Louis XVIII having left Warsaw, leads us to suppose that the Emperor of Russia will very soon take a decided part against France.
The King of Sweden is arrived at Piltz.
Bonaparte is expected at Antwerp.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18.
By the ship Sophrona from Bordeaux we have received Paris papers to the 18th August, inclusive. They are filled principally with accounts of the reception of Bonaparte at the different towns on the coast, which he is visiting for the purpose of inspecting the troops composing the army of invasion; and with addresses to the different branches of the imperial family, conceived in terms of the most servile adulation. Indeed we have discovered very few articles worth translating.
The minister of the interior, Chaptal, has given in his resignation. M. Champagny is appointed his successor; and the papers of his office are in the mean time confided to M. Portalis.
The feast of Saint Napoleon was celebrated with very great splendor on the 15th at Boulogne, in the presence of the Emperor, by the United Camps of Montreuil, St. Omer, &c. and the whole of the army in that quarter. N. T. pap.
In the ship Sophrona, from Bordeaux, came passengers, Cadwallader D. Colden, esq. and Mr. H. H. Schieffelin, both of N. York, the former of whom has brought dispatches from Mr. Livingston to the secretary of State.
A letter has been received in town from the city of Santo Domingo, dated August 11th, which mentions the arrival there of two frigates from France, having in company an English frigate captured on the passage. The letter also notices the arrival of a reinforcement of 350 regular troops.

This Lottery has been authorized by the Legislature of Virginia, for the laudable purpose of erecting a Seminary of learning in or near the metropolis of this state. With this view it is contemplated to raise 20,000 dollars, and 2,500 dollars in addition, for defraying the expenses attendant on drawing the lottery. Citizens of the first respectability have been selected as trustees, and they have pledged themselves to use their utmost exertions to carry it into effect. The scheme has the advantage of giving to each adventurer's chance for some very large prizes, whilst the proportion of prizes to blanks, is so great as to invite the friends of the intended institution to participate in the lottery, with very little risk of their becoming losers. The treasurer of this state is to be appointed to receive the money for the tickets as they are sold, and to pay the amount of the prizes to fortunate adventurers. It is believed that the above considerations will induce a rapid sale of the tickets, and the drawing will commence as soon as a sufficient number shall be sold to authorize it—which it is believed will be on the second Monday in December next.

TRAVELS IN GREECE.
PROPOSALS, FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION, THE TRAVELS OF Anacharsis the Younger, IN GREECE: During the middle of the fourth Century, before the Christian Era, With copious Notes and References.
BY THE ABBE BARTHELEMY, Keeper of the Medals in the Cabinet of the King of France, and Member of the Royal Academy of Inscriptions and Belles Lettres. Translated from the French. First American, from the fourth London edition, IN FOUR VOLUMES.
THE work now offered to the American reader exhibits a complete view of the antiquities manners, customs, religious ceremonies, laws, arts, and literature of ancient Greece, at the period of its greatest splendor. A knowledge of these has hitherto been only attainable by a laborious perusal of writers who have been little solicitous to join entertainment with instruction. The Travels of Anacharsis , on the contrary, are so written, that the reader may frequently be induced to imagine he is perusing a work of mere amusement, invention, and fancy; till his eye glances to the bottom of the page, when he perceives there is scarcely a sentence, and not a single fact or circumstance, but is supported by the authority of some ancient author. The amazing number of these quotations may, perhaps, at first sight, seem to have been unnecessary, and to have more the appearance of a parade of erudition, than to be of any real utility: but it is to be remembered that, at the same time that they must be highly acceptable to the man of real learning, by enabling him to refer immediately to the original author, they are extremely useful, nay, we may say, absolutely necessary, even to such readers as can never be supposed to have any intention to consult the authorities quoted; as they clearly shew that such an idea, or such a circumstance, is not merely a decoration or the offspring of the fancy of the author, but immediately taken from some ancient writer, and therefore perfectly accordant to the general scope and plan of the work.
TERMS.
 The first Edition in America of Anacharsis's Travels , will be comprised in four Vols octavo.  It shall be printed on handsome wove paper and a new type casting for the purpose. Each Volume will contain about 400 pages.  The price to Subscribers, per Vol. bound and lettered, will be 2 dollars; in boards, 1 dollar and 75 cents, to be paid on the delivery of each Volume.  The European Edition sells at 12 dollars per set.  There shall be a handsome Map of Greece given with the first Volume, to be executed by one of the best Engravers.  Those who obtain ten Subscribers and become responsible for the payment of the same shall receive one copy gratis. The work is now at Press, and shall be finished with all possible dispatch.  Subscriptions to the above work received at Robert & John Gray's book Store, Alexandria.
