"Let me inform you that every thing which has been sent us in consequence of the mission for that purpose has safely arrived in port. The first person who appeared on our coast was captain Hervieux. I cannot express to you the joy with which that worthy republican was received among us. Carvin and the others arrived a few days after. The manner in which Carvin delivered us the patriotic gifts sent by our brethren at Charleston excited feelings which none but the Sans Culottes know how to estimate, and to complete our good fortune 1600 barrels of flour which had been sent us by the minister Fauchet also arrived just at the same time. Judge what is the satisfaction the joy which now pervades the garrison, in addition to that ardor which you know is the presage of those victories which we promise you. Yes, my brave Sans Culottes, by the time you arrive we shall have destroyed a great number of the slaves of tyranny. I feel that upon the certainty of this how impatient you are to be among us; know that you are also wished for by us.
"Inform all the good Frenchmen, who are at Charleston, that we will entirely drive from this part of the world, those cowards who in the month of January last, offered us gold in the expectation that by these means they might not have to fight with us-they shall retreat before us, be assured of it, in the same manner as they have always done ever since we have been fortunate enough to meet with them. Adieu!
We impatiently expect you to join in giving them the final overthrow.
"Give our most sincere thanks to all the Sans Culottes at Charleston-tell them that in assisting us they serve the French republic."
