Ny Gensraf,
I have poitiye proof that Charles Be-
lair was at the head Of the late iniurfee-
ton; theie proofs have been made evi-
dent 10 ne by the officers Of the 9Th divi-
ilon, who appear TO ne more unfortunate
than culpabie in the late events. God
forbid, however, that / ihould excpfe
any OF thole who have revolted againit
tie government. I have she mott pro-
found Indignation for all thofa WHO hare
followed the villain Charles in this inia-
nous revolt.
This Charles has cauted his f.cretary to
be aaa1ina,ei in his own houie; ADD his
ferocous wife has in no email neaGure con.
iributed TO the acts Of barbarity, which
have been committed on, our unfortunate
companions, the friends and defenders Of
the French government.
pray that Charles and his wils may
meet their puniihment,
The caufe Of the feparation between
Charles and LaroRe was ioiely becantc tie
fermer wifhed to proceed TO Dauco, and
LarciIe would nor. Such have been the
caufes Of their di(uaion. Charles lhould
be conGdered as the chief OF the byigands,
and puniihed as fuch. 1t is only 10 my
marches and maneuvres, added to the
indeiatigable zeal Of the troops which |
commanded, thar we owe the arrsf Of
this fcoundrel, who is unworthy Of your
clemency.
I fend you this letter By an extraordi-
nary courier.
