SIR;

Febittary 25, 1804.

I received MIT letter of the loth on the 2 ist ; and that (
the 13th is this moment come to hand. It is highly neces-
sary that you come here as soon as • possible, since I cannot
give you. final instructions without having a previous expla-
nation of several points, which cannot be fully discussed but
by word of mouth. Moreover, my , makes it dillic.ulty, of
conveying the letters ; and we shall be obliged to establish
the mode of communication which I mentioned to you in toy:
last.

an acquainted with all the 'events_ of the t6th of. this
. month; and it is easy to conceive. that the Police. will keep
a vigilant eye on all travellers; ofeourse, you will watch the
favourable moment, in order not to incur any risk. It is only
through you, 'that 1 learn the circionstances relative to
GLort‘xs, . 1 have no other knowledge of his.
projects than that With which' your letter luinishes ;' but
If • you possess the, mealis of extricating any of his associates
; from their difficulties, tail not to employ them. I beseech
you earnestly, to have written and printed; at once. a shorn
address to the army (officers and soldiers) exciting them not
to sutler Moar.Ae, their fellow-soldier, who has su often
led them to-vittory, 'to ,perish, a victim for the rage and the
jealousy of the xsr Coasut,. You may, in this address,
observe, thatthe merit of Mott LAU has, for a lofig'time, been
offensive to the sight of the petty Tyrant ; and that- the
tasT Coy s u c, to get rid of his rival, has selected the alto_
merit of the arrival or the news of the unfortunate fate of St.
Domingo, to draw te,the attention of the nation from a dis-
aster, singly arising:: froth his bad conduct. You will du
well not to lose a in ntent in making this short address, and
to get it circulated aniong all the armies with the greatest
dil igehee.
I have just written,a Note to your man of 7'caouse (Stras-
burg) to engage hint to place your letters, in future, under
a cover, addressed to the. Abbe Du ;it ESN E. In case you
Write me any' adore before yottr departure, .1 request you to
avail yourself of this address, :and not to make any more use
of the twelve pointed out to you in lily letter No. 11.
--The Emissary of ivhom 1 have spoken to you, has pre-
vailed upon some underlings of the Post Office to promise
him to transmit all the news which he could obtain with re-
lation. to a Correspondence with toe, to the following Ad.
dress :

To. Citizen Donors, at the Bureau of the Military Po-
Alec of the Ministry of War, under cover to Citizen Dc DOGE,
Guker, in the Street fit. Honor* to . . ."
I could have wished that you had not taken the step which
you mention to me, with the Post-master, at K . . . , since
it does not appear that he will be able to be of ser-
vice Its us, as long as our correspondence continues as well. as
'it has hitherto dune ; a.uri 1 ant afraid that it will be impos-
sible to make this opening, notwithstanding all the art and
precaution which your man would be able to take, without
letting too much escape.
As to the Adjutant-General, of whom you speak in your
Letter of the 13th, I shall be induced to hold a correspon-
dence with him ; 1 shall only place as much confidence in
hint as is absolutely necessary ; but the sum' which he asks,
is not large; and we have the means of ascertaining"the truth
of his :communications. Try then to put this matter in a
train before your departure.
As to what you tell me of your plans of operation, I will
speak to you more amply when I see yoil';- in the mean time;
you may assure your. friends. that one shall not :fail to give
them the result with all the expedition which the circum-
stances require.
I once more recommend you to arrange every thing pro.
pqrly, iaetore your departure, which relates to our correspon-
dence.

lielieve me to be, with the most perfea consideration,
Sir,
Your very humble Servant,
NOTA MANUS.
