The Recolationarsi Plutarch contains the following
para'raph in Fouche's life, which hears same con-
trast to this atheist's late opal/arca/ letter to the Revo-
lutionary French Bishops " Foyers E chose to cele-
brate this feast (the apotheosis of tile Septerebtiser
Challier) on the Ist of November, 1793; a day con-
secrated by the Roman Catholics to prayers and to
the memory of all saints." Early in the morning
the cannon announced the festival, and men and
women carried, with an air of respea, adoration, and
pomp, the image of Challier, whilst others, enemies
to the Christian teligio brought consecrated meet ;

"Atter the burning of Challier's pretended corpse,
of which the as:,es were piously distributed amongst
the sectaries of his and Fouche's morals, the Ifety

" When the ceremony was over, Fouche proposed
to consecrate that day by sacrificine all arrested per-
sons (amouating to upwards of 25,000) to the manes
of the God whom they had just adored ; bat

be avenged ! This sod shall be overthrow, ; and on
