upon its disgusting stage, CAIINOT is ode of the
foremost. With several commissions of his Ktmo
in his pocket he first revolted against. His MaJESr v's
authority, and afterwards voted for the death of a
' Sovereign, to whom he had taken the oath
of allegiance, both as an hereditary and as
a Constitutional King. With Ronzerizsaa he
was a member of that infamous Committee, and
signed with him orders for the imprisonment of
250,000 families, the proscription of 500,000, and
the death warrants of upwards of 300,000 perstiits,
who perished at Paris, at Lyons, at Toulon, at
Orange, at Bourdeaux, and in La Vendee. The in.
trigues and hyprocrisy, which prevented him front
sharing the scaffold with Aosaria►nit, made him
afterwards a Direetor. In this place he cajoled all
parties, and deceived them all. But his duplicity,
became notorious, and he was proscribed in his
turn. Recalled by BONAPAITZ, to occupy the
place of a Minister of the War Department, he made,
as such, the preparations for that campaign in which
the battle of Maringo decided the slavery of the
Continent. Quarreling with BILITIIIaa, he was
thrown into a momentary disgrace, and resigned
the Ministry for a place in the Tribunate. There
he spoke of liberty, as while a member of the Com•
mittee of Public Safety, when he sent hundreds daily
to perish, and thousands daily to fill the republican
dungeons. The friends of liberty were for some
time the dupes of this abandoned charaaer, but
after the discussion upon the Ccessnlnnefer life, when
every person who spoke againa..it etas removed,
when CHLMILI, DAMAO. Se. Ausix, and ocher re.
gicides lost their places, and CIasOT continued,
not only to preserve his, but to be consulted by the
FIIST Cesium, the mask of the patriot disappeared

tweenhim and hispresent master,topersnade foreign
nations, that liberty is not entirely extinguished in
France ; that when such a speech is permitted to be
printed, every French Citizen may publish his
opinion on this subjea freely; and that when no
other opposition is made to Bona, savz's new
dignity, it may be regarded as the unanimous
wish of the nation. Any person who has studied
the French rebellion, and the underhand dealings
of its actors, cannot be the dupe of the manmuvres
either of a Casinos- or of a Bow AAAAAA . The
word liberty in the mouth of the Decemvir, Can-

All the letters recently received from India are
entirely silent upon the progress of the Revolution-
