of their plot. They were ihm to create a commit

to direct the execution of their project; they were
to m-tke them (elves liiufters of the gates ol the mint,
of all the magazines, ami particularly thole or pro-.

the Icaft counteract their ichemes, of al! citizens
: 1 pporting the conftituted authorities, and alio, all

mark.d, and proclamations inviting to infurrection
were L i *wn, and ready printed. Robbers whom
they denominated the nerifrated patriots, werecali

which they had ihed, during the reign of terror—
The denoted military, were to be excited to flaugh

were to divide thetnfelves—ihef'e bands were to bn

confti: ution of 1703. The'e collections com

were to fill up the meaiure o( oiiorder. Libels al

They have divided the foldiers into two c.arsts,
the one compoled ot idle fellows whom they would
gain by the promife of each in their quarters the o

they expected to gain by the charms of plunder ;
pillage was then to begin.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTORY.
Mefsage of the Executive Directory, 25th Floreal,
May 14, 41I1 year of the French Republic, one
and indiviliole.
Citizen Legifl .tors,
To inform the nation of the conspiracy which has
been difcovered, we tranimit to you, a copy of
two of the molt important pieces found among the
papers of Babtruf.
By the Executive Directory,
Secretary Gen. Lagarde.
The 34th piece of the iSth bundle of papers found
upon Bat oc if, acknowleged by him and with his
mark on them :
To kill the five hundred,
The feven mini ft era,
The commandant ar the time and his mnior.
To take pofsefbon of the hall of the ancients, of
the five hundred.
To put to the fword above all, thofe who ihoulJ
repair thither.
To take pofseflion of the barriers, and to luff t no
perfon whatfoever tc pafs without the pals wards.
To take pofseflion of rhe Telegraphe at Louvre,
and all'o 'hat at Montmatre.
To make themi'elves m ilters of the river.
It is elsemial that we have Mention and the artil
lery there, amounting to 48 pieces of eights and
fours. The 28 pieces which ate iu the gat dens of
the feailians.
The arterial is not to We neglected.
The national treafury—to make lure of fotre of
the adminifrrators and ihole employed.
The communication between all the feettens is
important—ul confi one nee the brigades art to be i’c
cured by the infurgents. Waggons arc absolutely
necdsai Y to diftrihute proviliors in abondan. e in all
quarters. The grants thrown down, a thing of
i lie bight ft importance—the entry of any body of
troops into P..ri$ is to be prevented. Our biothers
the biave detendos of their courr i' will i t invited
bv a proclamation, and by connrifJicners cholen by
the body of the people, and front tbefe men who
lhall contribute in the onfet, to yield thentitlves in
dividually and without any leader, in the miri't of
their friends. The cavalry, the hufsars and the
dragoons, who lhall range themltl.es under the
banners of the people, ntay dilpoie of rbeir holies,
cloa’hing, arms and equipments, to their own ufe.
The loldiers of the other corps iball h-ve to iheir
cv.n ufe their clothing, arms ami accoutrements,
and lhall moreover be indemnified in the fame pro
portion with the cavalry.
A.i and every of ihole brave fellows who lhall
have cent! ibt.’td to overthrow tyranny, lhall i>u
lodged and maintained among the ti.lzens as in
1 yS9'
A peace will forthwith he mode, worthy a pre; r.
people, who jnn ilh kings and trains Sni. !i re
volutionary armies will be immediately organized,
who will have the care of provifurdug the chy of
Paris : they will be compolcd <.t ere tir.rd of the
troops of the l.ne, and the other thirds from the
i r< ops in tiio Ciiy .
ic'isgood to obferve, that as (con r.s tyrants arc
thrown down oy the conspirators, it w:il be rrceC
, iary to cauf'e an iruT.rrection of the people which
tm ft he general — / lulutely gflte:;.!, proper wri
! tings wiil be circulated to ro.uie the people;—proper
I agents will be moreover employed to ftirihtmup,
! to revenge thcmf< Ives upon all their enemies, who
! will be c i tivi) marked out to them.
The iufuri cvtional authority mult produce in the
name of the people, or rather the people c hemic] ves,
thall pronounce the diisclmion of every kind ot au
thority wharf never, both military and civil —of courfe
every perion who flw.il fay or pretend that he is vio
thed with any othex authority than what the peo
ple {hall grant ar.d who liiail attempt to act in cun
lequence thereof, lnaii be dcdared an enemy of the
people, and ihall be inftanily put tc death.
It is ii.huiivly eJstniial, it is even the moft im
portant point that fomelm h acts fhould take place;
the fword male be drawn, the icabbard nufc be
thrown away. Reflections on the pare of the peo
ple mu ft be prevented, it is necefsary that ib y
ihould forthwith do fume acts which will prevent
their retracting.
If fonie royalifts Ihould make any refinance, a
column armed with burning torches are to repair
inftamiy to the place where they arc al’sembled, let
them be fummoned Co furrender •:hej; arms, or in
an in Hart let flames avenge the liberty end fove
reignty of the people.
All ftranger.% of whatfoever nation they may be,
are to furrender themiclves to a provifionul arreit at
the chief place in their relpective fections, under
pain of being instantly put to death wherever found.
All individuals who ihall be arr- d againii the
people are equally to be inftamiy put to death.
Their fpoils are to belong tc their conquerors.
The people ihall be immediately and even during
the iniurrection placed in healthy and comfortable
habitations, too long have they been delayed by ia
lacious premifes. This operation will be organi
zed bv cormniflioners thofen from their bofum, and
in whom they nay confide.
lr is necefsary, on the firft moment of victory to
difparch fate and intelligent men to the different
polts of France, which 2re the molt important, and
which have moft within them tlie feeds of iixfnrrec
tion, fuch as Arras, Bethune, Saint Oiner, V.hn
ciennes, Toulon, Marlcilles, Avignon, Toulouie*
Chalcus upon Marne, Montpellier, Arc. &c. Ic is
necefsary to put the people in thole places in a Prate
of infurrecrion and to repeat nearly the lame feeues.
