I of tho United States In Louisiana, for redress
sloncd by ilolcnce. Injustice, soverlly, or even
carelessness on tho part of the military forces
of tho United States, bo that redress, If Justly
duo, shall bo awarded.
Incntortng upon Ibis examination, I could
not but remark that Mr. Bougere's own repre
sentations of his attitude towards tbo do, cm
ment do not seem to mo to fully justify tbe
view of It which, u,wn different Information,
you hat u assnmcu. Yon stato that his antece
dents hnvo been represented to you as excel
lent In all respects, and that ho appears to
hao ncm departed from tho strict neutrality
which the Emperor's Government has not
ceased to recommend to Its citizens under ox
1 s tint,' circumstances. In trusting to Mr. Bon
gcre's statement, I obserro that upou the point
non lu question ho states only that ho uer
loet his nationality as a French subject, nor
boru arms against tho United States. I need
hardly point out to so just an obsen cr as your
Excellency the fact that, besides bearing arms
against tho United Btatcs, thcro am other ays
In which a man of wealth and Influence can
abet and support a treasonable Insurrection.
Kveu tho chief of the revolutionary conspiracy,
and every member of the cabals which aro
called his Cabinet and Congicss, can probably
safely assert that ho has never borne arms
against tho United States. It may, neverthe
less, bo tme that Mr. Bougere has preserved
his neutrality In tho present conillct, notwith
standing his own seeming reserve upon mot
object i I will thcreforo cheerfully receive,
upou that point, any more full and a Jti factory
Information which you may bo authorised now
or hereafter to furnish. In tho mean time,
candor requires that I should Inform jou that
even tho very cautious and guarded statement
which Mr. liougcro mako concerning his neu
trality Is distinctly contradicted by the military
authorities at Now Orleans. Iboy represent
that beforo tho transaction, of which ho com
i lalns. hud occurred, he had been In the habit
uf meeting with a military band of Insurgents,
of tth.fha nephew of hla is caplalui that ho
assisted largely by voluntary coniriuuuons io
equip that tieusonablo band, and that ho vol
untarily supplied them with rations sent from
his own house that he provided himself with n
rc olutlonary uniform, saddle, and horso equip
ments, and had them In his possession and
ready for use on his plantation when that trans
fiction occurred.
raising from the political character of tho
claimant to tho details of tho transaction com
plained of, I must call your attention to the
cry aguu and unsatisfactory manner In which
tho facts aro presented by Mr. Uougcre. lie
coulents himself with saying that a column of
troops of tho United States, commanded by
Colonel Thomas and Cnptuin Orout, of the
Eighth Vermont, took by force tho slaes and
nronem described, and forbears from gi lng
any account of tho moment or circumstances of
tho aucgeu capture. This very general nai la
ment la unsupported by any teatlmouy or el
ilaicc, nor is It even authenticated by tho cus
tomary continuation of his own oath.
I think you will at once perceive that theie
Is a necessity for your referring the matter back
lojour consul for testimony ut somo kind,
when I lufuru you that th fuct of u forcible
taking ol Iheslavcaaud propertyUiontradlct
td by the military authorities of tho United
Siatei) who were eugaged lu thu transaction
They rcjwrt that tho negroci (claimed as slave.)
wero not iaaen oy rorce nor in any otner way
by the military column) but that, on the
contrary, they left tho Plantation TofuntarUri
that a portion, understood to be orer half of
mem, naa even to lert ana abandoned tho
plantation beforo the expedition In that direc
tion was made: and that of the remaining half
ft portion left In the same voluntary manner
taking advantago of the expedition, tome of
them going off before the column at It ad
vanced, and others following behind It as It
proceeded that the expedition returned during
a night and a day, and that other negroes, sup
posed to bo slaves then, followed it on Its re
turn and that all this was done not only with
out any command or dlrodlon given by the
ouiccr, out even wunout any interference made
by himself or by any of the forces constituting
the expedition. It Is also ststcd by tho mili
tary authorities that they received only one of
the fncltlve slaves In question, and that this
particular slavowas one whq had escaped from
the plantation before tho expedition waa made,
was wounded by a mnskct-ball In tho act of
escape, and, therefore, sought refugo In the
camp, and wpi-ihcre Indulged with medical
treatment. '"
The same authorities report that when tho
expedition had pasted Mr. uougcre's homo on
Its outward march, that person, who had been
absent from tho mansion, rclnrncd to It and
then drove all his cattle and other stock back
Into the woods, and also drovo the slaves who
wero then remaining on the plantation Into his
sugar-houtei and that these slaves, taking ad
vantage of tho night, left the sugar-home and
followed the expedition on Its return to the
camp,
Tho military authorities further report that
they took two very poor horses from the plant
ation and used them to draw the guns, but that
onlr one of them belonged to Mr. Bougcret
and they allege that no other horses or other
anlm.ls, nor any carriages or slaves, or other
property, wero taken from tho plantation by
tho expeditionary force, either with or without
llw authority of tho commander. They add,
however, that somo such nroncrtv a. 1. men.
Honed by Mr. Bougcre was taken and used by
tho slaves In making their night.
Uavlng thus, nlih tbe utmost frankness,
given to i on the representation, of tho trans
action communicated by the Secretary of War
to this Department, It remains only to say that
I am Instructed to receive and to give duo
weight to any corrections of those representa
tions which Mr. Bongere shall be able to make,
and that when tho case shall thus hare been
fully developed, I shall apply to tho President
for Instruction., with a view to n riellnltf. nnd.
