was an officer of marines, when France was respected abroad, and flourished at home. He was born a nobleman, and always possessed an ample fortune. He has sustained an unblemished character all his life, except when he received the command of the frigate La Felicite, and came to Guadeloupe in 1799, with orders he could not execute; which fault he is now come to repair, and he has publicly said, that La Croix of 1801, is not the La Croix of 1792: but that he will, to the utmost of his power, protect the planters and other respectable inhabitants of that colony from the machinations of those infernals called Jacobins.
