CENER,IL FRERE.
Tis Revolutionary General was the eof those
banditti. who, in such a barbarcus manna violated
lately the taws of nations, and a neutral territory,
and carried away by stealth, and in the darkness of
night, a British Diplomatic Agent, Sir Geoitat:
ill a 301.13, possessing :aid proteeted by a public cha-
racter, which former barbarians held sacred, and even
the present savages respea.
Fees& was born in the province of the ciaerfrei
Loraine, and his father was a soldier in the regimen:
called La Cenronne, where he, at eight years of age,
was received as a drummer. During the anarchy
which followed the Revolution of 1789, he deserted
front. Lille in Flanders, where this regiment was then
sr n tend, went to Paris, and augmented the num- .
Ler of vagabonds, who, about that time, infested the
capital, and, under the appellation of Penrioli, pro-
scribed, plundered, and murderedovith impunity, all
non of religion, rank, and property, as Aristocrats.
After the 10th of Aubust 1792, he was made, by
the then Commandant at Paris, SA arra Re, a Lieu- !
tenant of the National Guards of the seaion called
Q,o,!re Notions, and WU'S so thief during the terrible
ri.iss4ci.:% of the ensuing September, that NIA RIT, I
, . spccch at the Jacobin Club, piloted in
to: :Paean/ dca Jacobins, of the tith of Sep-
termer 1792, did justice to his Potriuoism. and
recommended him to advancement; and Gene-
ral SRIIVAN, the Minister of the War Departments
immediately sent him a commission, as a Captain in
the same regiment, where he so lately had been a
(hummer ; but this rei;iment being on the frontiers,
fighting the Austrians and Prussians, FnERE never
joined it, preferring the safer and more profitable
employment of denouncing and pillaging the dis-
armed Parisians.
When, in 1793, Heirmor succeeded SANTERRE,
in the command at Paris, he obtained for an Aid-de-
Camp from ROBTSPIERRE, FRI-RE, who was at that
time as cringing a courtier to this republican tyrant,
as he has afterearcti been to his successors, BA aitAF,
Kr urn a, and Bo's AP A RI'S. After the execution of
Rout:smear, in 1794, Fusee i•hared the fate of
kis other sycophants, and was arrested as a terrorist,
but escaped death, and recovered his liberty, f, y
turning evidence, and becoming a denouncer of the
public accuser, Fointo lax-Tos so i.r.e, and other ac-
complices of himself and of his former patron, Ro-
ZESPILIME. It was after Bora A P Alttell butcherir,,,,o,
in Wilber 1795, of 8.000 men, women, and eha-
then, in the streets of Paris, that Fitton first made
his acquaintance, and was, by his recommendation,
male a Chief of Battalion, in the 77th Ibimi-hrigacie, ~
one of the corps which served irrid..r him in Italy,
cniring 1796 and 1797; but which did not amino
paey him to Egypt, in 1798.
When, in 1799, the Jacobins again possessed the
inaility in two Councils at Paris, and dieteed laws
of terror to France, Fatal: was appointed by the I
Minister of War, DE ROI% Clt EANcr., a Chief of Bri-
gade in the guard of the Council of FiveThundrrd.
!lasing, when BONAPARTE effeaed the Revolution
on the 9th of November of the year, deserted over
to him with his corps, he was in return appointed the
Commander of the Consular Guard, in which ca-
pacity he remained until the invasion of Hanover
areodetermined upon, when he obtained the raids of
a General in the army, destined for that expedition.
Cetera' MORTIS*, the first Commander i'i
, Chief of BONAPARTF.'S army in Hannvo, with all
the other Generals under him, were such favourites of
the Usurper, who before had either no opportui.i:y
to enrich themselves, or who, like FRERE, ha-I, in
debauchery and gambling, squandered away their
former ill-begotten riches T iese men were all s .rat
: to Hanover, as the Parisian said, to male !heir, r-
tunes—and this partly explains the ruin d sta'e of
t the Ele!torate, and the' several p.:cuniars requ -
sitions, under which the a, Weal, free, and Impeoa"
I. Cities of Hamburgli, Bremen, and Lubeck, have
ben laid.
1 ram is a tall, gand-looking man, about forty
' years of age, with the education of a drummer,
'• the sentiments of a sno.l-eitiotte, the principles of a
' Jacolin, the talents of a grenadier, and the pre'en-
' ions of a vain and tradacious upstart, obi= revo-

PARTE, as to ROIE4PIERaIi, he will continue the
sants. to all future revolutionary tyrants, who pay

: i,,f.tiors, with an insolence, surpassed only by his
• hoeness to his superior.
According to Th, Secret History of the Hanle of AA-
' ON*, p. 45,"FRERE is even destituteof that temerity
scosrksble in many of his fellow-rebels, who, like
himself, having every thing to e: ft from success,

LIREL ON THE EARL OF ST. VINCENT.
Mr. EltlK3Ne moved the Court to file a criminal
information against William Henry Bourne, Esq.
Idea Budd, of • Pall Mall, bookseller, and George
Sidney, of Northumberland-street, printer, for print-
ing and publishing a most scandalous and malicious
libel, against the Earl of St. Vincent: he observed,
it wars a wide, extensive, and deeply-laid conspiracy
of those three persons, to wound the noble and gal-
lant Earl it the public estimation, to injure him
in his charaacr, as a man of unblemished honour
j and integrity, and to bring the navy of Great Britain
into disrepute and disgrace. His Lordship, there-
fore, felt himself under the necessity of throwing
himself upon that Court for their pmtetilion, and of
seeking do opportunity of clearing his charaaer
from the vile aspersion thrown out against it, and
punishing malevolence and scandal. The libel
complained of was contained in two pamphlets—
the first was entitled, Naval Administration; or
a Letter addressed to Earl St. Vincent, Knight of
the Bath, &c. &c. pointing out various Armies in the
naval departmenr, Bce. Sce." The second had a si-
milar title to the first, with the addition, " also con-
taining the substance of a suppressed pamphlet on
ihe same subjeß, Zee. Ste."
A; to the 6 st publication, it appeared, from the
affidavit of Mr. Benjamin Tucker, that, in the month
of April last, the Earl of St. Vincent was the first
Lord of the Admiralty, and Mr. B!itirne called on
Mr. Tucker, and informed him that he had Seen 11
manuscript of a pamphlet, which was coming oat,
contailinz very suvere animadversion; upon the
Board of Admiralty, and which, he thougiii, would
be mach better suppressed ; to this Mr. Tucker
made no answer. Some days after Mr. Bourne
called upon him again with the manuscript itself,
and told him it was well worthy his ott mini; it
contained a SSA deal of malevolence, and advu
that it would he infinitely better to stop defamation
in its bud : he also gave him to understand that he
was attacked in it, and offered to expunge or sup-
press any part of it relating to him, Mr. 'Nan.
that he -• ild think proper. That Gentleman
again it was " moment to

after . . to
him, and said, that some pans relative to him, Mr.
Tuck-r, had been expunvd. He then, on Sun-
day the 6th of May, sent a letter to Mr. Tucker,
offering his endeavours to put him in possession
of the oamphlet, it he and the Earl of st. Vincent
wished it, observing, at the same time that he sup-
posed his Lordship c null vindicate his c0nd0,.% and
fully answer the ch..rges made against him. lb this
letter no answer on, returned, and, a day or two
following, he rec. ived another letter from Mr.
Bourne, in which he attributed the silence of Mr.
Tuck rto prudential motives. He rhea stated, that
as he knew his Lordship was accustomed to meet
and conquer his enemies, he concluded he could
fully answer the charges against him ; he, however,
observed, that it was not easy to contend against
the malevolent aspersions of the mcml, •rs of Grub-
street, declaring, that he had got the whole publica-
tion into hi. possession, and would hand it over to
Mr. fucker, in order that he might commit it to
the dames.
Here Mr. Easitiax observed, that Mr. Bourne
was the person to whom their Lordships might trace
the original manuscript. He had it in his passes-
sion, he offered to expunge or suppress any part of it,
and at last proposed to give up the whole publica-
tion. Thelearned Counsel then seleaed some passages
from the first pamohlet, which he read. These
charge the Noble E irl with gross neglect in his
office of First Lord of the Admiralty, calling upon
him to repair the devastation in the navy, which had
occurred by his mismanagement; accusing him of
employing nine months in building gun-boats, which
might have been done in one, and afterwards dispos-
ing of them to merchants at the time their services
were most wanted in ttie navy. It then went on to ob-
serve that the Board of Admiralty was too mach en-
grossed in plans to annoy the defenders of the connt-y
to think of its enemies. In another part of this work,
his Lordship is eherged with having endeavoured to
compel Sir Andrew Snape Hammond to resign his
situation as Comptroller of the Navy Board, in
order that he might give that employment to a
creature of his own, and, having in vain, solicited,
and even insisted on his resignation, he was obliged
to have recourse to fouler means. The Navy Office
was ransacked to find out some charge of peculation
or mi:conduß against the Baronet, and at last an
accusation was made out against him, for a sup-
posel overcharge in some Russian stores of rope and
sails. '!'treats were then made use of; but his
Lordship said, that notwithstanding all this, he
would still accept of his resignation. nos (Mr.
EM‘ILINE observed) not ooly charging the Noble
Carl with crimes the basest and Most s.andalou;,
but also accusing him of the high offence of com-
pounding a felony. In another passage, it accused the
Earl of bt. Vincent of dismissing Mr. Marshall from
Plymouth, merely to get his place for his Secretary's
brother. In another part of this pamphlet, page 60,
the Earl of St. Vincent is finch, r charged with open-
ing letters of Sir Sidney Smith's anal near Admiral
Montague's private correspondence, for the purpose
of detracting them in treason. of which, it is said,
they had been supetled. The Pamphleteer here
observes, that Sir Sidoey's char-A.4er and services
were tit., well known to need the trouble of te-

-


luting such calumny, and inveighed agailist the
vicious perseverance of the Admiralty, in open-
ing the, private letter, of that gallant Officer.—
Ale then pastes a severe censwe upon them for
Plicingea man in an important and high situation.
at the same time that he is suspeded of holding
secret correspondence with thb' eriemy of his coun-
try; andiattributes this eon4trA of his Lordship tr)
,a mean jealousy of Sir Sielneyts superior talents and
abilities. . . • t
This ewes the Pamphlet! Mr. ElliKlNe observed,
which Mr. Bourne bad so officiously piessed Upon
Mr. Tucker,•whlich he oficred to suppress, and to
deliver up the entire impression, consisting of /100
copies, that it might he destroyed.
In the second Pamphlet, entitled Audi 41lemm
Pariene, the Author, W his fifth page, observes, that
he may be rediiced to the necessity of quoting vntwh
of the former Pamphlet which he had already laid
before the public, but which soon after Nail been
suppressed. The Earl of St. Vincent is then charged
with having paid 3001. of the public money for the
purpose of suppressing the former puhslication. The
history of the attempt to remove Sir Andrew Snape
Hammond is also alluded to, as a history al-
teady well known to di: public. Ili. Lordship's
conduit, relative to the appointment of Mr. ‘lOll-
- Cunningham and Captain Markham in the
Admiralty Board, is adverted to ; and •he re-

From the first applicaron of Mr. Bourne to Mr.
Tucker, from the simiLtude of the two publications,
and from all the circuatsburces of the case, k was
not possible to doubt that the former gentleman was
the author of thine pamphlets, or, at least, a person
who had the possession, management, ur controul
over them. He therefore culled upon the Court Cut
protection against malevolence and slander of the
basest and most scandalous nature ; the libeller was
not content in charging his Lordship with erroueou•
judgment, but he also accused him of crimes the
worst and most base.
