He Baia, he would mach rather fight the enemy, than
give such information ; that as to the projeft of be-
ing Ditt/t" he conk' have obtained it if he unshed,
before the arrival of Bonaparte ; that it had been
proplsed to hint, but that he looked upon that man
as a madman whose design was to overthrow the Go-
vernment.

The President again inquired particularly as to the
meeting on the Boulevard !
Moreau persisted in denying it. He sought to weak-
en the declarations of Rolland, with respeel to the
conversations which had taken t."ace ; he said that
Roll Ind himself had only called upon him on the
footing of an old acquaintance ; that it was true he
had spoken about parti.ans, about the possible re-
establishment of the Bourbons, &c but it was in
the way of conversation, and not as a negotiation ;
he had served the Consul on the 18th Brumaire
(Nov. 9) ; and, far from having the least ambition,
he only demanded the command of an army. It
was, therefore, impossible that he could have wished
that the Consuls might disappear.
One of the Judges required the utmost exaftnets
in the expression ti.2cl by Moreau—" to make the
Consuls disappear."
Rolland repeated tfiern, affirming them to be his
very words. Moreau persisted in denying them ; and
added, that Rolland could not have persisted in them
but to improve his own lot. He had been sent to
the Abbey, while he (Moreau) was in the Temple,
guarded day and night by Bens d'armes.
The President observed to him, that he hasl no
guard. until after Pichegrn liad committed suicide ;
and that the reason of Rolland and .several other
culprits having been confined in the Abbey and other
prisons was, that the Temple could not contain the
whole of them.

Moreau, having been asked b• the President,
Whether he had any thi•tg to rerntrk on the supple-
mentary deposition of Rolland ? replied, that, if he
had been desirous to form an; party, he would have
looked for partisans not among the RoNalists, but in
the armies and the Constituted Authorities ; that,
however, he had maintained no connexion with
them ; and that he saw but very few strangers.
Moreau. being asked, whether David had com-
municated to him his design of going to London
Afiei. hesitseing a moment, he replied, that he did
not recollect it ; that he believed David had given a
hint of it, but he was not sure. This David denied.
