Martinique ..,se Critical troops the line, .
tug of Ism men, who possessed the forts, ,hewed too much of the
saute disposition which has manifested itself in France. The ma-
jority of the officers were decidedly for Bonaparte, some putting up
the tri-coloured cockade, and others, with similar sentinieuts, less
avowed, retch -bog that they only wished to retort' to France.
The soldiers were. chiefly refractory conscripts, who had never
served, and hail no attachment to Bonaparte,hut having'escaped from
the army under hi. severe system, tinditg themselves expatriated
voider the King's Goverment, was not likely to create an attach-
ment to the Rosarbois cause, they generally wished to return to home.
—Le Comte de Vangirand acted with numb good sews iu anticipat-
ieg the mischief whir* might have arisen, and which lie had not the
pother to have controuled, by assembling the troops, and releasing
those of the officers who desired it from their obligations, informing
them at the same time, that, they must quit Martinique, and declar-
ing that any attempt to raise the standard of rebellion would be
repelled by force, and punished as an act of mutiny. in defiance of
the oaths pif fidelity which they bad taken to Louis X had
des'red Le Comic Vatagirand to give it to be understood, that the
white fl me war the only permanent security of the troops, or of the
colons, and I inneediately assembled the force now in possession of
the isimid, in Gres Islet Buy, St Lucia, within four hours sail of
Form Royal, to give effect to the Comte de Vairgiranel's measures.
This line colony was 'weevil times on the point of being thrown
into a tirte of revolutionary convulsion, by the conduct of the
troops, all of whom, with the exception of the remainder of the
26th reviment, amounting to tour hundred and fifty men including
officers, who remain limier the white Nag, have been permitted to
depart, unarmed, and are actually gone. The militia of Martinique
amount to about 600 men, who are well disposed) One half only
have; arms: 150 are moulded. Immediately after the'oecupaCoo o
themilitary points b) the troops under m 5 command, the Govern
.meiti of the colony pullialied a decree by which British' vessels are
received on the same footing as French.. Thiel act was perfectly
spontaneous, aria indeed has been marked by the same spirit of
corelialisy which has actuated the Comte de Vangirand in every
part of the intercourse which I have hid with Wines—lt would be
unjust to Ci.lllto de Vangirared not to rapes& my sense of the ho-
-tioulable devotion which lie has uniformly sliewn to the zealous
performance of his duty to his Sovereign, of his dignity and good
beast under very critical circumitacces, and of his grateful attach-
ment the Mince Regent, the British Government and nation, for
the asaistarece which has saved Martinique. The gratitude, indeed,
•of the colony at large:, has been' must unequivocally testified.—l
,shall be happy to find that; the steps I have taken have been such as
may be approved by the Ptiuce Regent.-1 have the honour to
be, . . JAMES LEITH,
LieutsGen. commanding the Forces.
