In;citts of imperial tyranny had sta:ceeded in cor-
rupting, and perverting., and pois-oniog, the
pnh-
jc mind. The cause of the Bourbons was lost in
almost all the provinces, a long time helot e go-
vertment suspceted the disorder, or 'the ministets
were advertised of its existA:ttice. '
It ,vas not in the short space of a few days,
but,in the slow aod'silent combinations of 'seVvral
months that the eternal ent:tuies of the public re-
pose, the fanatical preachers of the principles of
anarchy; the unrelenting satellites of Iluonaparte
baLl prepared the Mean:, of effecting their criminal
designs.
They had set in motion all the artifices of to-
ntilt and discord, who tor the laSt 25 years 'al-
ways united in.alliance, always engaged in eon-
spracles acid revolt, have never surrendered the
hope of re-inflicting upon our unhappy country
the scourges of revolution.
Every city, every ;town had its committee
charged with the. 'office of caluntiating the Go-
vernment, and of spreading among the people
alarms fitted to ex'cre to inszlrrection. They never
ceased to terrify the nation with the re-estab-
lishment of tithes of signorial rights and all the
evils of feudal servitude. They pointed out in
every
,priest, in every tioblei in every citizen of
'higher rank an irreconcileable enemy.
la vain the edicts of the King, his paternal
bounty, and all the acts of ,h 5 Government, gave
the lie to these impostures; 'even the bounty of
the King was calumniated, and his edicts were
described to the people its arrul measurei. to se-
Cure more certainly the end at which lie aimed.
Advantage Was artfully taken of certain inrprodent
writings, of certain foolish declamations of the
public prints! against those who had atqoired
ita:ional property.. Suppprt was sought for those
suspicions in the silly and ,intliBereet conversations
of some men, who having theie heads fall of the old
ideas of absolute monarchy, spoke.of nothing but
the overthrow of the Constitutional Charter,
otthe,cPproaching return of the Acl regime. -
Woe to thrise, who, without intending it, have
contributed to mislead the multitude, and to ad-
vance the projects of the wicked.
• All was prepared toy the triumph of the con-
spirators, when, line Satan when he-ascended
from the abyss of the infernal t;er..ieini, the a:ithor.
of all our MisfOrttines escaped 'front the rock of
his island, and appeaied On our coasts, like those
dreadful meteors which cause a total desolation
uherever they pass. ;
, .
Then the activity of the faCtions and the evil-'
disnoed redoubled in points .of France. In all
the del iatments the COmmittees of Conspiracy
shouted with joy. They celebrated with festival's
the d,-parture. of the best of 'King's, and the te-,
. turn of the most Lletestable of Tyrants, The pub-
lic sorro;vAteeame to these blood-thir;ty men a
subject of gladucss. All -the good citizens of
France were cousttained to conceal in their hearts
the regret& that devoured 'them. Impatient and
lyivg ;ifidresles were presented. in the name of
titi,s which durst not laotest against the foul int-

t
well illtentioned citizens in vain aiiempteu to en-
lighten the nation. The public cantles who
Misled it, piloted the out as the secret 'agents
and acCOmpliceS of foreign pOwers.

Nothing was spoken of at the towns, in ,the vil-
lages, but the baiting of citutaii?,', the ntassacres
of priests, (troubles, tool of royalists. Unworthy
prefects joined in. these excesseS, either by a
base connivance or a criminal support ; the most

No longer Way there ally SeCtlrity fo'r' citizen's,
or guaratoce forp-ersonal liberty; the most re:-
spectable. men were cimapelled• to shut themselves
up in their houses, that they might not be expcs-
ed to the iiisnits aml ontrages Of a mutinous po-
pulace. Skeet charges, false and lying accusa-
tions were collected, encouraged, protected;
banishments, arrests, arbitrary emitributions, all
the exactions of the revolutionary regime sprung
up with frightful
It iu+tst be recollected, that one of the Mem-
bers. of Binmaparte's Chambers of Peers openly
declared, that in Ws departnient, one of the least
considerable toe kingdom, more, than 80 per-.
seins were carried off from their homes without
previous without legal forms. •,
These numerous excesses were encourageW,hy
the demagogic ravings of. some 'pretended repro-,
sentatives of the people. Who can- forget the
phreozied motious of one Lequevel, who proposed

Already the new'Septeinbrizers did not diSgoise
their projects. All the symptoms of a general St.
Bartholomew made their alarming appearance.
Information which could not be despised, an-
trimeed that the massacre was fixed For Sunday,
the .2d of July. One might have said
..that hell
had opened its gniphs to revomit on France all
the revolutionary demons. But the rapid march
of the AllieS. Made the assassins tremble, aud ar-
rested their murderous hands.
Since then, the plots of assassins are adjourned,.
not abandoned. Who would credit.that in varous
departments, particularly that of the Seine, and
