2297. DUMOURIEZ (C. F.), A scoundrel.—

Dumouriez was known to be a scoundrel
in grain. I mentioned this from the beginning
of his being placed at the head of the
armies; but his victories at length silenced me.
His apostasy has now proved that an unprincipled
man, let his other fitnesses be what they
will, ought never to be employed. It has
proved, too, that the French army, as well as
nation, cannot be shaken in their republicanism.
Dumouriez's popularity put it to as severe a
proof as could be offered.—
To Dr. George Gilmer. Washington ed. iv, 5. Ford ed., vi, 324.
