    both parties. Nothing lias difcotvraged the
rfiyaliits, and hitherto there have been so
many reasons tojuftify their hopes, that we
ought not to be surprised if by the fide of
one conspiracy extinguished, another should
arise the more dangerous, because to its own
refonrcjs it adds the experience of the er
rors which have occ.fioned the ruin of others.
I fay dangerous, not becauf# that I think
any coqfpirpcy would overthrow the estab
lished government, but because I believe that
fotne one may be found combining fufficient
means to encourage even an open attack,
aVrd then the blood of Frenchmen would
flow in torrents (hed by the hands of French
men. It is to prevent, as far as lies in my ;
power, the return o/ these scenes of desola
tion, that I have formed the design ofeom- i
municatwg all the threads ofthe conspiracy ]
at the head of which I am placed, to lead ]
you into the track of those which may fuc- <
ceed ; in fine, to diflipate id such a manner <
all the resources of the royalists that they !;
may be compelled even to abandon their j t
hopes. I betray the cause of royalty j I t
know it, but 1 am convinced I serve the 1
cause of those Frenchmen who are attached j i
to that cause by destroying the foundation r
of their chimerical hopes : and, if I do not f
impose upon myfelf, this conduft will not , '
deprive me of any just title to the esteem of r
those who (hall decide without paflion. \ c
" I will not fatigue your attention by a | e
longer preamble. I have {aid thus much , t
only to juilify to myfelf an adtion which I | t
think courageous, which perhaps may be si
generally regarded as an aft of treachery. I r
am about to enter upon the fubjedt, and I
will speak as if I had been the only agent of a
the king at Paris. It-is two years since I p
undertook the management of his intereils. ii
From that period I was aware that the roy
alists could have no real constancy, but when ei
united round a comrtion centre they aft by 1
preconcerted movements. From that period b
I exerted every effort to lead to that centre p
of unity all'the chiefs of La Vendee and of t;
Brittany ; all the' agents foattered through a
the different departments that I could dif- p
cover, who pretended to aft for the fame
objedt, and who all pursued it by contra- c<
didtory means. I went into Britanny, into
La Vendee. I went to Switzerland, where
an English minister resides, specially charged
to second the royalists. I went to the army i
of the prince of Conde, and saw the king.
At length I made a journey tft England,
where I explained myfelf with the count d(
D'Artois and the English ministers. No- oi
thing less would do, in Order to prevail on dt
every individual to renounce the plans which
he himfelf diredted, the private scheme which ta
he had adopted, to put an end to the ani- nt
rnofities and the divifioni which reigned in ev
the party; and in this last refpedt I never a
could have produced a durable effedt in La kr
Vendee and Brittany. I was also far from oh
eonfidering their fubmifiion as an unfortunate mi
event. It served eur cause because it en a- tai
bled us to develope entirely a plan more wife lai
than those which had preceded) on this very
account more wife, because it embraced at on
once the whole of France, and because it
excluded every partial movement, but that da
which should repder us matters of Paris by pr
overthrowing the government. fla
" Such is the plan which had been ap- of
proved by the pretender, who alone was ac- de
quainted with all its details. The English la\
mmiftry, the French princes, likewise adopt- th
ed so much of the plan as was communicated bu
to them. The objeft was, to make the cri
political and military movements go hand in da
hand. of
" to be dividedinto two agen- ha
cies. alv
" The one, which comprehends the pro- cai
vinces of Franche Compte, the Lyonnoife, eyi
Fores, Auvergne, and the whole of the pr<
South is to be entrusted to M. Precy.— fir:
The other, which extends over all the reft ter
of France, is to be directed by the agents at jor
Paris. Thcfe two agencies shall reciprocal- the
ly inform each other of their situation by a wit
vegular and adtive eorrefpondence. No hyi
movement is to be attempted by the one, if nol
the other is not previously apprised of it ing
and if it it not prepared to second its ope- fufc
ration. &c
" The twoagenciesfhallhave a dire ft com- 1
munication with the King, and with the a- to
gents of the British government. This last tril
having only two objedts, the firft, the de- and
mand of afTiftatice, and secondly, in its ap- pea
plication, the agents are to render them
felvet independent of the inftrudtions which to
might be given by the English. The se
cond objeft of the English eorrefpondence end
lhall be to give them every intelligence tend- pov
ing to serve the cause ; but never to facih- thr
tate to them the means of seizing any of our eve
maritime* places, and in general nothing Th
that could be uftful only to themselves ; the 1
king and the council having never ceased to tior
think that the fervicts of the English are exc
perfidious ferricet, tending to no other ob- it 1
jeftbut the total ruin of France. par
'/ The municipal agentt shall sub-divide cul|
the diftridts entrusted to their direftion into the
as many military commanderies as they shall a v<
Judge proper. They shall fubrait their la
bours to the king, and propose to him the
j>9rfons who are judged qualified to fill with ton
intelligence and fidelity the fuuations of lons
commanders in chief of the different circles. lev«
The commanders are to receive their power tior
from th« king ; but they shall not corref- 1
pond diredtly only with the superior agents Loi
of the party. _
« The principal agents, and especially add
at Paris, will spare no pains to ieduce j whi
to the party of the king, all the members pon
of the constituted authorities. They can por;
» proinife to every individual all the personal C
advantages which his importance may en- I fury
title >iim to expedt, without the exception the
of any one, even the members of the Cob- ry y
vention, who voted for the death of Lours Hoi
XVI. But they will not incur any engage- S
raent which can give occasion to believe that Orn
the intention of the king is to re-establish coui
the monarchy upon new bases. The king of p
will do every tiling to reform the abiifes 'I
tyhjch had crept into the ancient regime, was
'■' v .
he but nothing could induce him to change the.
0 constitution. In cafe of a powerful party
W f l"-" Councils proposing to. recognize the
oj king upon conditions, the agents'at Paris :
were; to engage that party to depute Jo his
ivn Majesty a person properly authorized, with
er- whom the king might discuss in person the
rs. true interests of France. 1
»k « The objeft proposed is the overthrow -
ib- of the existing government. It isin thecon- '
iat ftitution itfelf that the means were to be J
nt found of overturning it without a great '
:k, shock. The frequency of elections prevent '
»d the opportunity of introducing a majority 1
n- of royalists into the offices of government
ny and the adminiflrations.
a- " Hitherto the royalists have derived no f
tt- advantage from their number ; theiV pufil- f
cy lanimity prevents them from attending the v
ad primary assemblies, where, if they have giv- t
c- en any votes, it hat been without previous
er j concert, and their votes have been thrown
-J j away so far as concerned the objedta at-which I
:ir | they individually aimed. In order to ob- P
1 | tain a majority of Votes in the primary afTem- n
tie _ blies, it is necessary to arrange three points : b
?d ! I ft, To force the royalists to attend. 2d,
>n To compel them to unite their fuffrages in E
at favour of the individuals pointed out. 3d, w
3t jTo induce that class of men, who have no g
as j preference for any government, love that or- b
I der which protedts their persons and prop
a I erties, to vote in favour of the royalist par- dt
h 1 ty. In order to attain this triple objeft, 4
I ! two associations shall be formed, the one
»e formed of tried royalists, the other of timid
T royalists, and men felfifh or indifferent. ft
I "It is unnecessary for me to enter into

t Sitting of 12th Sept. of,

t der. He dated, that by the law of
- one quarter of their pay was allowed to re- I

1 "I do not know (said he) by what fa- to
1 tality it is that those brave men, to the tht
number of 20,000, have not yet received ea\
1 even this miserable pittance. I dtfire that of

1 know the reason of this delay, and what lea
obstacles there are in the way of the pay- Ha
: tpent, in order that the legislative' bqdy may
take the necessary steps for carrying the
law into execution."
The motion was agreed to, and the speech
ordered to be printed.
Quirot alfp spoke upon the order of the T
day. " The constitution (said he) has
provided for the independence of the legi
slative. body, of the executive power, and '' e
of the judicial power. But this indepen- I, s
dence does not exclude responsibility. The
law of the 3d Brumaire has provided for
. the responsibility of the two firft powers,
but not for the Tribunal de Cassation. The
criminal tribunals are also inverted with a 'j 01
dangerous inviolability, and this is the cause |! le
of all the affaflinations which the royalists ,
have been guilty of in France, which hav« tl,e
always been committed with impunity, be- rftl
cause the justices of the peace shut their p
eyes, and only punished when they thought
proper. Have we not seen partial magi- t
ftxates fuffer, with impunity, libels which Prel
tended to excite the assassination of the ma- f° ot
jority of the direftory, under the name of ha j"
the triumvirate, while they punished people ,] lor
with severity' for singing the Marfeillois j u ta
hymn, or a song against clocks ?—Have we not
not fcen the tribunal de cassation contend- F -. B

MR. TINNO, **
THER.E is a talk of a military parade when the j
'rcfider; arrives. Some on horse and fonie on r
®ot —while the President rider in a chariot, p"r
aps a coach, and as the Aurera fays, with wheels.
1 will not at this moment enquire by what au
lority the governor undertook to iuilru<st the ad- b
itant general about this buflnefi—He furcly j
ot consult the democratic society about it, for B.
. B. their eracle, is dreadfully and mortally cha
rined. He ha; puhlilhed a wonderful smart piece S
i his Aurora on the occasion, in which he raves IT
baut slavery, and liveries, and frolics, and nobo
y knows what. He fays the whole uniform of w
ie militia of th> state ought to be ehanged; for if -1
»ey wear it they are all slaves, because thePrcfi 1
ent's folks all wear blue coats with red colfari.
he people who serve the President mull be flares th
:caufe they are yankeys—they are all free men dt
■hen they are in Maflachafetts, where I believe f Q
icy were almost all born and married ; but if tke j
military companies of Philadelphia, in uniform,
lould turn out on this occasion, they are slaves-, and f"
ie Prifident's people all become slaves too. So T
luch for wearing blue and red : There is another B
ling that seems to cause gseat uneajnefsto the Au- (•
>ra writer. The militia is compsfed fays he, of
en as free as the Governur ; this you know, and
rery b«dy knows. But you know that we always
ppofed the Governor was general and command- E
in chief over <he militia. "Thi* is the Humbling /];
ock with the Aurora, how one free man can have r ,
right to command another free man. There is ■*
ie ofthe faction who fays, he hopes hU hand will
ither, if he Oiould obey the governor's orders.— f l -*
his is a knotty point, I (hall leave it with the ult
iVernor to fettle.
There is another cireumftance, which it seems
as not forcfccn by the governor—U it (bould
in it will be miry, if not it will be dusty, and as
is matter cannot be fettled beforehand, in cither
fe, the Aurora fays the militia will be in a " de
aded, prostituted situation, for the Prefide'nt's
rriagt, it i3ys, will be sometimes before and.
met.nifs behind. The editor, who'l suppose to
the Oht Soldier, is a very wife man, bmt it is
how he should know so much.
I greatly fufpeJt he means to overthrow the 111
bole militia fyfiem, for he intimates that waiting
the President was the object of that fyfte-n,
d what becomes of this bulwark of our bherttrs,
juld that be the cafe ? I wish we knew the in;
II extent of the designs of some people who pa
llow very loud about slavery finae they left off thi
iijg to levee. It appears 3« if they meant to
ing in a (landing army. If it is slavery in the
ilitia to obey orders, you may depend we .fliall
in be without one.
The Aurora patnotifm is too partial—l hate lo- ■
I patriotism—No fslicitude was cxprefTed about j j
militia of Maffachufctts, Cpnne&icut, New- e
irk. or New-Jerfey—thu' they voluntarily plun-
d themselves into this business poor creatures, ®* a '
:y did not fee thro' the medium of the Aurora. ei
t there is something more (hocking to appre
nd ; if the militia (bould turn out, it will trant
m them into Janiflaries.l Now Janiffarics are
irkiflj mercenaries and wsar turliMis. „
