XIV. and of Louis XV.; and Gould me tome time longer be curled with the Tway of your iron feeptre her military navy will be on a level with her commercial navy, and in her lea ports ken nothing but fhamelek pirate" and beggated traders. . But has even hitherto my country derived any gain or honour from all your fortunate campaigns, or I. the more free under your unlimited authority ? Overburthened with taxes, and cruelly oppreffed by an aaive.relentlefs, military defpotifin, my gavial countrymen mourn, without daring to utter a Ggh, the gradual approach of inevitable ruin. whillt you, your relatives, and your creature' alone, profit from conquelt, effected by the puree blood and molt valuable treafurce of France. But to confider even in a political point of view, your uturpations, your devaftations, your indemnities, your changes. and your pacificationa, what glory, what advantage can Frenchmen, and what lately can other people derive from them, or from beholding a fanguinuy adventurer an Emperor; his vkious harlot an Emmet's; his obkure and wicked brothers and brothers-in.low Kings and Princes; his profligate nieces Que no and Princefies ; and hi. criminal accomplices, Dukes, Field Mullah, and Knights ? Though you have enchained the perfons, you have been unable to bewilder or to feise the fem., a of Frenchmen. Can therefore the pretence in France of ao,coo Au • ltrian and Ruffian prifoners remind them of any thing elle, but or the captivity (caufed by your provocation and ambition) of more than that number of their countrymen In England? While they fee the former returning to their homes, mutt not Frenchmen lament the abfence of thofe fo juftly dear to them. but whom they malt never expert to embrace again, before delivered from your tyranny ? They are well aware that Great Britain 311 too wile and too powerful, to fign another peace with a man more confpiring againil her independence as a pretended friend, than dangerous as an avowed enemy, whole olive branches have always been the felphurous faggots of a political and focial incendiary. who offers continually peace during war, and plots mid meditates nothing but de ftrudlion during a peace. o From the language of this letter, you will redly perceive, that Its writer is out of the mach of your ferocious vengeance, and fears no longer either your racks or duneeons, your poifoners or your tormentors. Your Minifter's orders to me, not to approach the capital without farther go rmilflon from you," has again put off the period of your pcmidincent, and the delivery of mankind from Its noorpe. Without it. refolved not to furvive the ruin of the French navy, I meditated on difpatching you before I put:lilted myfelf for having been your tool, to the dlfgrace of my honour, of my ditty, of my birtO, and of my protelLon. That you arc Bill among the living is therefore another evidence of a blind and int)uft fortune, that from infer utable motives, Rill permits the continuance of your barbarous tyranny. Depend how- vet upon It, (end the vaft enormity of your numerous crimes mutt convince you of its truth), that as you have lived °smolt's', grandeft criminals, your end molt be untimely and terrible. An attain or ma executioner mall to ill) a career of atrocities, which to the acme of humanity and act our age,bas already been too lung endured. " That a virtuous poflerity,which might blame a part of icy public life, may not be ignorant of the fincere re entatice and pa triotic fentknents that accompanied my death, copies of tliis later have been expedited to funeral °flatters in all French naval Rations. Notwitliftanding what your vile flatterers fay to the contrary, had your murder preceded my fuieide, not only the prtfent generation but ages to come, would have hailed me as a deliverer, and revered me as a faviour. Altars, as well as Rattle", would then have been eredled to my memory.—Tremble, tyrant ! You live abhorred, and will expire with the curia of the uuiverfe, following you even on the other fide of the grave. (SIPS J) • as vu.s.smarrs." •
