SiARSUAT, NEY.

.•• ,
'ctleral MOreau wed often to reheat that NeY •
was, pcxt to linonapgrte, the most nnprincipled
of the French revolutionary Generals. lie fre•
quently said, troth In *Europe and in America, that
Ney would sill his honour to the highet bidder
troW, when a Marshal; as easily as he sold big
snuff to his customers 25 years ego; when an ap.
prentice to a retailing tobacconist ;.,that he, espe.
cially, both envied and hated.7thionaparte and
hi; supremacy';r and that he more than once had
proposed fo Other Generals to cut down the Col.-,
sican at his military levees." • So early as March,
tyhe.!'t. Ill4onaparte's intrigues to be elected
a Consul for life were no longer secret, Ney offer.
ed, in the presence of Macdonald, Leconrbe, Mon.
tier, Victor, anO,bther, at AToreau's table at 6r6s-
bois, to strike the first blow ; and strongly urged
the other Generals to enter into -his conspiracy,
and to assist'hint to destroy the Usorpei, and to •
establish a legitimate King. He spoke then with so
much apparent zeal and warthth in favour-of the
Bourbons, that it was Inspected by all who heard
hint, that he had been bought over by the, agents
of Louis' XVIII. which was one of th'e reasons
that the other GeneritrivpieSent ttissimcied hint
front the attempt 5- nOt "willitig to sully the Hgla%
of their Kbig by an assassination, Or that all the
honour of his restoration should thnS he claimed
by such a vile Wretch as Ney, whO,OWed all his
military information and advancenierit to the les-
sons and patronage of Plehegru and Moreau.---
These particulars I beard Morean repeat at a pub-
lic dilner given him after his landing at Gotten-
burgh, in the summer 1813„
On the 25th of last August; Ney head6i a ban-
quet at Paris, where sNty-iii Generals anti Officers
(at Present, no doubt, " honourable men,"
like himself) were assembled to celebrate the re-
turn of the BourbonS. He presented, on the next
day, to the King the folln‘tring Verses, as art
impromptu made and read by Hint on that oc-
casion :---

Allez, VratnaiS, au temple du Seigneur,
Chanter l'hynthe ,acre de la reconnaissance:
Intl fiis de Saidt Louis l'adorabil: presence
Vous assure k jarna.isia paix et k bonheur

Dtt fond de votre ante attendrie,
Dites ces,ntots si vrais : la fihe de Louis
Est lalate de la pairie. •

The Duke of Fleurie seeing ‘vith what cringing
perseverance Ney al way, begged the smiles and
watched the regards. of -Louis said, Ori
that day, loud enough to be heard by him, that
to judge the ci-devant courtiers of Buonaparte by
the manners of this Marshal, they ►mist never have
dared to consider themselves in any other light
than as slaves, trembling lest their despot should
suspect they bad not renounced all the " rights
of hien." • •
