whi•lt the European Sovereigns have just signed,
on their toyal honour, is to unite their armies, if need

Know, also, that it is Great Britain who is the
mule of and principal party to this Convention, to
which, a few months sooner or later, every Govern-
ment will find it necessary to submit. Every Govern.
ment and every Potentate who shall refuse so to sub-
mit, must expect to be treated as traitors and bri-
gands; whilst those who voluntarily and cheerfully
, shalt prove themselves honest and reasonable enough
to adhere to these.principles, in contributing to induce
the people whom they govern to return under the
sway of legitimate sovereigns, will obtain from those
sovereigns a provision and an estahlishMent not leer

,o '1 he last consideration which . I shall submit .to
pier Excellency LS that of the morality and loyalty
which characterise the present Minister of the Marine.;
It is universally known, that during the rule of the
Coasatuent Assembly, where he constantly appeirred
as one of the most zealous defenders of the royal
cause, he ever insisted upon the necessity as well as
justice of ameliorating the condition both of the blacks
and the men of colour. To prononnct the name of
Malottet, is at once to recal the memory of the most
exalted virtue, and of integrity the most inflexible.—
Whatever may be promised by such a m to w:11 be as
certain and as sacred as if (and I ask pardon for the
expression) the Deity had pledged himself to the en-
gagrinent.
Be pleased to accept, General, the sentiments of
high consideration with which I have the honour to
be, acc. (Signed) "DA L'XI ON LAVATSSE, Gen."
P.S. Colonel Medina, who is associated to my
commisson, will convey this dispatch to your Excel.
lency, and will be, found deserving of all your confi-
dence.—As a proof of the sincere loyalty by which I
ant animated, I have subjoined.a copy, of the letter
which I have addressed to General Petion. It was
scarcely written when I was seized with an indisposi-
tion, which derived the of the honour of addressing
your Excellency at the same moment."

" gingstou, Jamaica, September If.
• " General—i One of the persons who enjoy the con.
fidence of your Excellency, and with whom General
licdgson had the goodness to make me acquainted
at Cm- acoa, has already; without doubt, apprized
•you of the object of my mission,•as well as of the pa-
te; n xi and liberal intentions of our beloved monarch,
Louis the Eighteenth.
• " You, General, are too much distinguished, and
arc of too dispai=i•ioniite a mind, not to appreciate and'
to feel the difference which exists between the order
of thii.gs fixed by the restoration of Louis XVIII.
and that whidi is now called the Ancieut•Systern, to
wit, that wh;ch the despotic government of Bona-
vane laboured to establish in France.
44 To deceive, in miler to subjugate, had become
for ten years the great secret and the principal means
employed in the policy of that hateful and perfidious
usurper. Execrated by the whole world, abandoned
by the companions of his military glory, the tate of
this demoniac, let it be hoped, will tor ever furnish a
lesson to those who exercise an illegitimate and pre-
carious power, and are at the same time in posses-
sion of their senses.

44 It requires no great knowledge of public law to
enable us to perceive the difference between the con-
stitutional form of Government existing in France
from any that has prevailed in that country since the
year 1789.
46 'l'he present chattge is not what emigrants and
republicans are accustomed to call a counter-revolu-
tion : the Bourbons have been long since restored to
the throne of France. The Kings of Europe made
not war upon the French people, nor have their ar-
mies achieved the conquest of our nation. The ge-
ncrcus Al....Linder and his allies, having entered France
to revenge themselves on a delirious tyrant, them-
selves presented a rallying point to a people long op-
pressed under the yoke of an extravagant and san-
guinary despotism.
" It is under Alexander that the wise, able, and
energetic characters. who have performed the chief
parts in our revolutionary history have thought pro-
per to enlist.themselves. The Talleyrands, the Des-
solles, the Dupont., the Marmonts, the Neys, the
Bournonvilles &c. &c. after labouring through la
years of revolution in accomplishing the work of
French liberty and independence, are now the princi-
pal agents in again building up the fabric of our mo-
narchy on the bases of a five and representative con-
stitution : this constitution it is of which LouisXV 111.
has a right to be considered the author and compiler.
How powerfully, General, ought this circumstance
to render the name of its author dear to ,every true
friend of liberty ? Of what happy augury ought it
not to be to our brethren. of the Isle of Hayti ?
" Yes,. Geoera!, it is a philosophic King, a new
Mircus Aiiielfus, a new Henry IV. whois now seat.
ed on the throne of France ; believe me, I speak not
the language of flauery,.l speak in the voice of truth,
in the voice of my countrymen.
" To understand well the spirit which this day
reigns in France, you have ouly to fix your eyes on
the list of the Chamber of Peers and the principal
Authorities of the State. There you will perceive
in the Monundrencys, kohans, Perigords, Rochelou!
caults,• the ancient Corinthian: columns of the French
Monarchy, mixed with heroic pillars of a more mo-
dem order, the Neys, the Suchets; the Marmonts,
Malouets, &c. the recent defender's of French glory
and independence.
" You will there see all those men, who, by their
genitih, talents, valour, and virtues have rendered
themselves illustrious amidst the stormy scenes of our
'evolution ; you will see them worthily placed, b'etween
the King and people,• not less the supports of the due
prerogatives and majesty of the crown than of national
iz.,-tits and of public liberty.

the exiting Government, and you will there discetu
