amalgamation of the two Parties, and the maintenance
of the grand' principle of Eq-
:were the two con.
ditions to which alone the Consul attached-his
magnificent promises, which were without bounds,
and one., of- which amongst others, authorized the
Smaller Cantons to return to a , form of Go-
vernment appropriate to their 'trawlers and their
habits*.
• RE.DING returned to communicate the result of
his-mission to his ColleagUes, who considering it as
a mutual treaty which they might trust to, resigned-
their funEtions in favour of those men who had been
named by the Consul, and conjured the Landam.-
mttn to guard his own funftions. He consented
with regret, and re-organised, -at Berne, the whole of
the Central Government in the manner agreed upon
at Patis+. Such was the ascendancy of his virtues,
and his conciliating, disposition, that in spite of the
forced intioduaion of the new Senators, and = the
new Ministers, he preserved the preponderance in
the two Bodies, and induced them to renounce the
principle of absolute Unity, and to decree the plan
of a: new Constitution, doubtless very imperfet-t,'
but which formed a species of medium between the
extreme pretensions of both Parties. It was not
until after having laboured for three months
that' he adjourned the Senate during the feast of
Easter. •

Scarcely was REDING on the road to return to his
family, than the new Ministers whom he had in-
troduced into the Executive Council, assembled in
the night of the i7th of April, destituted the re-
mains of his Party, acted over again; in almost every
point the scene of Saint Cloud, ereled a Committee
of Public-Safety, tore
_the Constitution agreed upon
between them and RED INC, appointed Notables to
-prepare a new one, and received on the next day
from Cititizen VERNINAC, the Consular Minister
in Switzerland,,a Letter,. in which he felicitated
them on having.used with so much discernment the
plenitude of the powers which the adjournment had
concentrated in. their .hands. That Ambassador
announced to them that " This GOvernment would
doubtless ,see with satisfaction, a measure which
tended to consummate the reconciliation of all Parties,
and that the Helvetic People had done justice to the
wisdom of their intentions, as praise--worthy in their
°Ned, as in the choice of their means."

41. This authority formed the objea of the ninth and tenth
Articles of a species of Convention, which R EniNG wrote
before the eyes of the Consul on the Goth of December, and
to which the latter gave his Lull assent, without•nevertheless
being desirous of affixing his Seal, as he had previously pro-
mised. The excuse which he made was curions, and wonder-
fully calculated to shut the mouth of the Landamman. He
charged Citizen HA u-rEa iv ato observe to RED CN that such
like clauses could and ought to be the object of a Resolution
of the Helvetic Govei-nment alone. France, therefore, did
not wish to deprive that Government of the, honour of having
taken that resolution itself.
+ Whoever is already acquainted with die. ulterior events
of. which it remains for me to render an account, will find
here-a key, in learning that it was this amalgamation which
introduced into the Senate Citizen RUTTIMA and into the
Executive Council DoLDEX, who is nowthe supreme Chief
of the Usurping Congress.
It would have been astonishing, if after having been thus
introduced by the amicable Negociations of the Consul into
the Central Government of Helvetia, they had not been
eager to acknowledge the service, by inviting him to introduce
his Troops into Switzerland.
