This plan, which Robe:pierre said,

The Council determined, that the

measures with the Committee of
Public Safety, to fulfil the views of

Humbly recommended to the confederation cf
Citizen Genbt.
WHEN Admiral Blake was sent on an
embafiy toSpain to demand fatisfadion
far some offence, he was ordered by Crom
well to add refs the monarch with his hat on
and with his hand on hisfword. This unusual
appearance gave the Dons an idea of Crom
well’s impo. tance, and had the desired tffeft.
When Charles the lid sent a young noble
man Ambassador to Conftan inople, heafFed
ed the fame Cavaher-like appearance. The
Sultan was seated in state ; the Ambafladcr
advanced with his hat cocked and his hand
on the hilt of his sword. The Sultan wuh
attonifhment waved his hand, and the officer
of the guard took him into custody. The Di
van confulced how such a flagrant affront
should be punilhed ; and some were for co -
demning him to the flames ; but in confeder
ation of his youth and inexperience, he was
confined, and a representation was made of
his milbehaviour to his monarch, in confe.
quence of which he was recalled.
On his appearance at Court, the matter be
came a fubjed of ridicule : “What (said the
King) is it the cuflom of the Turks ro roaf
Ambafladors ? If it is, (answered the Earl
of Rochester) I would advise your majesty
never again to fend one that is raw"
