him with a li•t.
The Commissary CIIANTFRAYNE had entirely
abandoned me; the wife of M. DUP ER F. CR FSTEY,
my C•.tr,Tondent, was the only one who took my
parr. She wished to be security for me, but in
vein. •

" In this state cfthings I drew up and expedited
a Report of.all that had passed. to the Baron De
ERENCHWARFT, Swedish Minister at Paris. He
answered me by the following post that he was
much surprised at my arrest, that my passport was
lawful, and that he would reclaim me.
With this letter in my hand I went to the Ge.
neral ; he was at table, and slowly sent me his Aid_
decamp on the stair-case to tell me to wait. I bid
him declare that a Swedish Officer is not m ide to
wait on the stair-case of a French Officer ; I was
desired to enter ; no one got op, nor proposed to me
to sit &mil ; I took upon myself that rrthission,
sat beside the General, and gave him my letter ; he
read it, and laid it on the table, and burst forth into
imprecations against what he called my importunity
I left him in a passion.

" Upon returning home, the Captain of Gendar-
merie came to announce to me that henceforward I
must apply to him when I had any thing to com-
municate to the General.

" I thought every vexation exhausted when I re-
ceived a note of the Grand Judge, informing the
Swedish Ambassador that Lwas arrested on the de.
nunciations of the Civil and Military Authorities of
CAen, for having sought to ingratiate myself with
Military men, having held a correspondence with
the North of Europe, having kept a dangerous Jour-
nal, having insulted the Constituted Authorities,
and having brought a Letter from the Enemy.

" In vain did I address a refutation of these im-
postures to the Ambassador : in vain did he twice
officially reclaim me ; in vain did I get a petition
presented to the Grand Judge, requesting to be
'transferred to Paris, &c. &c. The zoth Of February
I was conveyed to the civil prison, and confined in,
a dungeon for, three weeks, upon bread and water ;
after which a chamber was given me on condition
of paving the rent. Amongst the new interrogato-
ries which it has been endeavoured to make me un-
dergo, it-was asked, whether I knew GFORG ES and
PSCHEGRU, Messrs. DRAKE and SPENCER SMITH ?
I said, as usual, that as soon as I should be trans.
ferred, I should reply to every thing through the
organ of "my Minister.
" Finally, on the 1911 of April, the Minister
sent me a Decree of the French Government, dated
the '29th of March, bearing that I should remain
three months in detention, and- that afterwards I
should be conduEted to the extreme Frontier of the
Republic, with a prohibition never to enter France,
under the penalty of being treated as a Spy.
" The Swedish Minister reiterated his proceed-
ings, and remonstrated with the Grand Judge against
the decree passed against me without hearing my
defence, and on the sole denunciation of the Ge.
neral and the PrefeEl. All was useless ; the rage
of these men was vigorously maintained for
.the
three months of my detention, entirely at my own
expence, although considered as a pris-oner of state.
The General found it more convenient to keep
me in prison, than to give me satisfaetion for his
gross language. The ?refit% who, from his situ.
ation, had nothing of the same kind to apprehend,
has, notwithstanding, sought to serve me with a
dish of his country. Three days before my release
from prison a poisoned soup was [nought me, of
which I fortunately got notice just 'as I was going
to cat it ; the bearer of it being brought before the
Police, and committed to a dungeon, was released a
few days afterwards by the protedicn of the Prefea.

To conclude, on the r4th July two Gent
d'Armes seized- my person, condueted me from
brigade to brigade, and from prison to prison, for
the space of i 92 leagues, that is to say, from Caen
to the Bridge of Kehl, where, thanks he to God,
they left me.
