19 ventôse an V (9 mars 1797),
Compare Etats-Unis, vol. 7, fo. 305 (supp.). In a report to the Directory made Ma 26, 1797, the Minister of Foreign Relations, Delacroix, decstees “Les Dean des He du Mississipi sont fort attachés a la france. seques uns des ofiiciers employés par le C* Genet, jouissent parmi eux d’une grande influence. L'Espagne au contraire est méprisée et haie par ces habitants. Clarke à la tête d’une poignee d’ayenturiers a deja fait trembler une fois Santa fé dans la derniere guerre. Cette antipathie peut, avoir diminué depuis l’ouverture du Mississipi, par l'Espagne. Il n’est pas indifterent à nos interêts d'entretenir parmi ces peuples, et les hommes qui ont leur confiance, toutes les dispositions qui nous sont favorables. Dan le cas ou nous serions remis en possession de la Louisiane, l'affection de ces contrées ne pourrait que nous servir, dans nos plans politique envers les Etats-Unis. C’est sans doute apres ces motifs, que le
Directoire s’est décidé a conferer au Général Clarke le grade de général de Brigadesans activité.
