The Syndics, who were j reudy perfe&ly aware of the objeA of this demand, and J and fid were fenfib'.c that such an absurd feitival might be j his m? produ&ive of trelh disasters to the Rcpublie, and j the me affront the coalesced powers, refufed to comply loss wh with it. The French resident then threatened to advanti quit the place, and to write to the French Direc- right t( t„ry on the fubjeft ; but the Syndics replied, that, them, in that ease, they should fend two deputies to Paris rit, wh and so the matter ended, the national flag being fidence received incognito. rals ' 1 When the Syndics went out of office on the 3d troops of April, and rendered an account of their con- their d dqft, they were tailed upon to explain this bufi- ! by a ness. " The ceremony of the reception of this j guard flag," said they, "was by bo means a rpatter of'-time, indifference; and bn an objedl of this nature, it and to behoved the Council to be circumfpeft, on account iuffcr f of the fmallnefs of out Republic.

Since thje depattnre of the troops, race, by which they were surrounded, for Italy, the spi rit of the Genevefe hasrecoveied i'sformer vigour, and [ and renewed its attachment to the antient laws of we ca the countiy. A proof of tiiis change was Vxhi- 'his 1 bited, in a particular manner, at the ele&ion o! c°mn the new Syndics; for the chiefs of the revolution, the ti who had the presumption to offer thcmfelves as « candidates, were rejedted by an'iinmenfe majoiity ; and the people chose four citizens, who, withouv indeed being memb rs of the antient government, are distinguished for their probity, and for the hor- Lett' ror which they have invariably teftified at all the ' h tranfa&ions of the revolution. 1 Their firft care was to bring to trial a man b) ' the name of Conte, secretary to the old revolu- £ tionary tribunal, who was accused of having Rolen _ or misapplied different fiims of money, during the 0 ■ collection of the forced lon.
