This article examines the decree of 13 Pluviôse Year V, enacted in the Guadeloupe by its governor, Victor Hugues. This decree enabled the French island authorities to treat as a pirate (and hence condemn to death) any neutral trading with the British-held French colonies, such as Martinique. This led to a quasi state of war with the U.S.A. and to political tension between Paris and its colony, the Directory government being afraid of possible British retaliation. This illustrate the near independance of Hugues-led Guadeloupe, which had turned into a privateering State of its own.Cet article examine le décret du 13 Pluviôse an V, proclamé par le gouverneur de la Guadeloupe, Victor Hugues.
