PLOT AGAINST BONAPARTE.
ARREST OF MOREAU,
LEGISLATIVE BODY, Paris Feb 27.
At two o'clock the counsellor of state Regnaud, De St. Jean d'Angely, and Berlier, were introduced. Regnaud ascended the Tribune, and read the following report made this morning by the grand judge to the First Consul:—
REPORT OF THE GRAND JUDGE TO GOVERNMENT.
Paris, 25th Pluvios.
"Citizen First Consul,"
"New plots have been framed by England; they were framed in the midst of the peace she had sworn to maintain; and when she violated the treaty at Amiens, she relied much less upon her force than upon the success of her machinations. But the Government was watchful; the eye of policy followed all the steps of the enemy's agents, and traced the measures of those whom their gold or their intrigues had corrupted."
"At length the plan appeared complete; already, no doubt, they thought at London that they heard the explosion of that mine which had been dug under our feet. At least the most insidious rumors were in circulation there, and the most guilty hopes were cherished."
"All at once the framers of the conspiracy are seized—proofs accumulate, and of such force and evidence, that they will carry conviction to every mind."
"Georges, and his band of assassins, had remained in the pay of England—his agents still over ran La Vendee, or Morbihan, and the Cotes du Nord, and vainly sought for partisans—the moderation of the government and the laws had deprived them of them."
"Pichegru, unmasked by the events which preceded the 18th Fructidor, year 5, unmasked more than any thing by that correspondence which General Moreau had addressed to the Directory—Pichegru had carried his hatred against his country in England."
"In the year 8 he was with Willot, in the suit of the enemy's armies, in order to ally himself with the brigands of the South."
"In the year 9 he conspired with the committee of Baretz; and since the peace of Amiens, he was still the council and hope of the enemies of France."
"British perfidy associates Georges with Pichegru—the infamous Georges with that Pichegru whom France had esteemed, and whom she long believed to be incapable of treason."
"In the year 11 a criminal reconciliation unites Pichegru and general Moreau, two men between whom honor ought to have placed an eternal hatred. The police seizes at Calais one of their agents at the moment he was returning a second time to England. That man is in the hands of the police, with all the papers which establish the reality of a reconciliation that would have been inexplicable if the ties of it had not been formed by crime."
"At the arrest of this agent, general Moreau appears for a moment agitated. He takes underhanded measures to ascertain whether government is informed upon the subject—but every thing is still and silent, and restored himself to tranquillity, he conceals from government an event which was of a nature to excite their vigilance. He conceals it, even when Pichegru is called publicly to the council of the British Ministry, when with a degree of éclat he unites himself to the enemies of France."
"Government would not see in his silence any thing but the fear of an avowal which would have humiliated him, in the same manner as they had seen in his absence from public affairs, in his unequivocal connections, and in his more than indiscreet speeches, only ill humor and vain discontentment."
"General Moreau, who was liable to suspicion because he, treated secretly with the enemy of his country, who upon more than legitimate suspicion, would have arrested at any other epoch, was suffered to enjoy in tranquillity his honors, an immense fortune, and the benefits of the republic."
"Yet events proved—Lagollais, the friend and confidant of Pichegru, goes secretly from Paris to London, returns from London to Paris, carries to Pichegru the ideas of General Moreau, brings back to General Moreau the ideas and designs of Pichegru and his associates. The brigands of Georges prepare in the city of Paris all that is necessary to the execution of their common projects."
"A spot is fixed upon between Dieppe and Treport remote from all uneasiness and all superintendence, where the brigands of England, conducted by the English ships of war, were to land without being perceived, where they were to find men bribed to receive them, men paid to guide them during the night from station to station agreed upon, and to bring them even to Paris."
"At Paris an asylum is prepared for them, in houses hired beforehand, where are truly guardians; they have them in several quarters, in several streets, at Chailiot, in the Rue de Bacq, and in the Faubourg St. Marceau."
"A first landing is effected—it was Georges with eight of his brigands."
"Georges returns to the coast to assist at the landing of Cotelier St. Victor (condemned by the sentence passed upon the affair of the 3d Nivose,) and ten other brigands."
"In the early part of this month, and 3d landing is effected; it is Pichegru, Lagollais, Armand, Gaillard, the brother of Raoult, Jean Marie, one of the first confidants of Georges, and some other brigands of that kind. Georges with Joyan, called d'Affar, St. Vincent, & Picot, called le Pique, precede this third debarkation—the union is effected at the farm of la Poterie."
"A fourth landing is expected, the vessels are in sight, but contrary winds prevent their approach; but a few days are passed since they made reconnoitering signals."
"Georges and Pichegru arrive at Paris; they are lodged in the same house, surrounded by some thirty brigands, commanded by Georges—they see General Moreau, we know the place, the day, the hour when the first conference is held. A second rendezvous was agreed upon, and does not take place. A third, a fourth took place in the very house of General Moreau."
"This appearance of Georges and Pichegru at Paris, these conferences with General Moreau are established by incontrovertible and multiplied proofs. The reps of Georges and Pichegru are followed from house to house. Those who assisted in their debarkation; those who, in the dead of night, conducted them from port to port, those who gave them an asylum in Paris, their confidants, accomplices—Lagollais, their principal go-between, and General Moreau, are seized. The effects and the papers of Pichegru are seized and the police is following his steps with great activity."
"England wished to overturn the government, and by overturning it, to effect the ruin of France, and the abandonment of it to ages of civil war and confusion. But to overthrow a government supported by the affection of 30 millions of citizens, and surrounded by a strong, a brave and faithful army, was a task above the power of England and Europe; hence England did not pretend to effect it, but by the assassination of the First Consul, and by covering that assassination with the shade of a man whom the
remembrance of his services still defend. "I must add that the citizens ought to feel no uneasiness. The greater part of the brigands are arrested, the rest have fled, and are warmly pursued by the police. No class of citizens, no branch of the administration is stained by a single suspicion."
"I shall not give more ample details in this report; you have seen all the papers; you will direct that all be placed under the eye of justice."
"The Grand Judge, Minister of Justice. (Signed) "REGNIER."
PARIS, March 17.
The Moniteur of to day contains the following:—Vice-admiral Verhuel, commanding the Batavian flotilla, put to sea on the 12th inst. from the road of Flushing. An English Vice-Admiral, with 16 ships, among which were a three decker and several frigates, endeavored to prevent his sailing out; but he manoeuvred in such a manner, that the whole flotilla got into the open sea, and if it had been intended, might have been on the coast of England, without its being discovered by the blockading squadron; this movement however, was merely intended to accustom the people to manoeuvres, and fail for Ostend.
"At three o'clock in the morning, the gun boat a head discovered two English frigates and several brigs, on which a battle ensued at the distance of a pistol shot. The 24 pounders of the sloop kept up a constant fire, as also the small arms; but the English soon took advantage of quicker sailing, and sheered off after sustaining great damage, and losing a great many men."
"If instead of the usual compliment, admiral Verhuel had a few more people on board, he would have complied with the wishes of the grenadiers of the 20th regiment, to take the frigates by boarding them."
The flotilla having arrived off Ostend, met another squadron, when another engagement commenced, with the same advantage. Admiral Verhuel entered the road of Ostend, with the loss of 5 killed and several wounded, and highly commending the zeal and valor of the soldiers, as also the conduct of the Dutch captain Van Offewarde, commanding the sloop of the advance guard.
"This is a memorable battle.—Several others have taken place on the coasts of the Seine Inferieure and the Paris de Calais; but the enemy, however numerous, has never been able to disappoint the object of the manoeuvres and the junction of the divisions of the flotillas, in the ports of their destination."
"The 24 pounders and the howitzers, with which our vessels armed, renders the efforts of the enemy every where fruitless; it being an interesting spectacle to see feeble sloops brave prodigious wooden fortresses, doing them more mischief than they receive from them at the same time, in their fight, fulfilling their intentions."
March 20.
Particulars relative to the arrest of Gen. Pichegru.
The broker, Le Blanc, was the person who betrayed Pichegru, who occupied in his house a small room in the fifth floor, for which he paid 15000 livres in the month. Le Blanc went to general Moreau, the governor of Paris, and offered to inform him of Pichegru's place of concealment, and to deliver him up for 100,000 livres (4000 sterling.) This sum was promised him. The manner of arresting him was then settled. Le Blanc introduced the gens d'armes into his house at night, when Pichegru was asleep, and gave a key to his room.—As they were informed that Pichegru had with him two pistols and a dagger, they opened the door with as little noise as possible and rushed on his bed. Though surprised and alarmed, Pichegru conducted himself with great vigor, and in a manner that even his enemies were forced to esteem his courage and pity his misfortunes. He jumped out of his bed, naked and without arms, knocked down four gens d'armes, and they were unable to hold him, although six in number. He almost choked two pushing them against the chimney; a third he struck so strongly upon the breast that he yet spits blood; and the fourth he pinched in the arm with such strength, that the gens d'armes cried out "if you do not let me loose I will shoot you through the head." With the loss of part of the flesh he got loose, and Pichegru exclaimed, "Fire fatal, and you will receive a sword of honor." At last he was obliged from fatigue to capitulate—and surrendered himself, upon condition of not being tied or chained. He was however, wounded in the head and on the shoulders, and had lost a great deal of blood. In dressing himself he declared that if he had not been deprived of his arms, he should not have fallen into their hands. He was afterwards carried before the counsellor of state and police director, Real, and underwent a
long examination.—Bonaparte had ordered the gens d'armes to take him alive, and they were all six fixed men. Upon Real asking, who he was?—Pichegru answered, "I am known enough." "Where do you come from?"—"From England." "In what manner?"—"In a ship, not a balloon." "Where did you land?"—"At Dieppe." "Who brought you here?"—"Nobody; I came here by myself." "Were you not accompanied by your accomplices?" "I am no criminal, therefore have no accomplices." "Do you know Moreau?" "Yes." "Have you seen him?" "After what has happened between us, I could only see him with arms in my hands." "Have you seen Georges?" "Yes the royalist; but not the supposed assassin." "But Georges has more than once plotted the death of the First Consul." "So says Bonaparte: Georges says the contrary. I believe the latter to be more humane and honest than the former, and his words are therefore more to be depended upon." "With what view did you come to Paris?" "To call Moreau to an account for his conduct in 1797." After these and some other questions he was sent to the temple, where Moreau is shut up in one of the dungeons."

   CLASS FIRST.     1 Prize of 1000 Dollars, is 1000   2 500 1000   20 100 2000   42 48 2016   60 32 1920   70 24 1680   125 16 2000   2494 8 19952   1 First drawn Number 1st day 112   1 Do. Do. 2d day 108   1 Do. Do. 3d day 108   1 Last drawn Number, 104    2818 Prizes. 5182 Blanks. 8000 Tickets, at 4 Dollars each 32000
The prizes will be subject to a deduction of only 12 1/2 per cent. All prizes under 48 dol- lars will paid in 60 days; the others in 90 days after drawing. Such as shall not be demanded within 9 months, will be considered as generous- ly given for the purpose of said Lottery, and appropriated accordingly.
It is consistently expected, that the great advantages which will naturally result to the community at large by encouraging so laudable an undertaking in facilitating navigation, &c. will induce a rapid sale of the Tickets, and ena- ble the Managers to issue the Second Class, with- out much delay. The low price of the Tickets, the many valuable prizes, the small deduction in comparison with some other lotteries, and there not being 2 blanks to a prize, are strong inducements for people of all classes to become adventurers.
All those who draw a prize in the First Class will be entitled to a Ticket in the Second, which will be considered as payment of 4 Dol- lars, and the remainder to be paid in money. A list of the fortunate numbers will be publish- ed in two or more of the newspapers printed in this State.
