charité pour faciliter … serviteur: “Charity to facilitate the liberation of Napoleon! Your blessings will be received with the deepest gratitude by your very humble servant.”

The Natchez Mississippi State Gazette of 19 May 1821 reprinted from an unspecified issue of the New Orleans Louisiana Advertiser, with the heading: “Madness,” an English version of the text above from the sword! la vie ou la mort to des crueautées innouies! (two words editorially corrected):
    “The Sword of Judgement,
  Life!   or   Death!
    DOWN WITH PREJUDICE.
    To the feeling bosom,
    To the well born soul,
 After having experienced for upwards of seven years, the most unjust, the most cruel and barbarous treatment which a human being could possibly endure from the hands of sanguinary Dogs! infamous monsters, in human shape! who have by subtility and villainy arrogated unto themselves prerogatives of the execution of Laws: which they themselves daily transgress with impunity; destitute of right, justice, or equity! I hereby declare my determined intentions to fix my residence in my native country (Island of St Domingo.)—Thither peaceably to await the developement of events the most interesting to humanity, groaning under pressures the most cruel and in[i]quitous.”

The Mississippi State Gazette article continued: “There shalt soon commence a war the most terrible and sanguinary that has ever existed since the creation of the world.
 Napoleon shall be delivered in spite of all the measures of those machivlian dogs of iniquity! who conduct the affairs of a government the most despicable in the universe! whose baneful and subtile influence has unhappily extended itself almost in all governments of the earth. ☞ Woe be unto them who by perjured villainy! and all who have in any manner contributed to my sufferings.
 St. Domingo shall become the rallying point. the general concentration of all geniuses and spritis [i.e., spirits] the most determined to maintain the rights of man! to the extinction of prejudices and of slavery!
 From thence shall emanate Shiloe, the law giver who shall rule the whole earth with a rod of iron!” Chastellier closed the newspaper version of his notes with a parenthetical notation beneath his signature and an indication that he was “Formerly of Baltimore”: “My ‘honest friends’ of the North are at perfect liberty to give publicity to the above.”
