t4th No*. 1843
I hive just received your's of the 3d; sod must lose no
tittle in acquainting you, that the ink was legible in two or
three plates of that letter ; perhaps you have brought the
sheet too near to the other composition : nevertheless, there
was not any word that was- legible.
I observe that the post-mark of -the letter was StraSOurg ;
would it not be better, that your friends at Strasburg put the
letters into the Post-office at Kehl ? for -one ought not to
trust to the post-office of the former city.
I wait with impatience your report of the particu!ars of
the conferences you mention, as also of the arrangemcntS
which you have made.

Instead of the addresS you have hitherto used, I beg of
you to make use of first f,,urteen addresses, which you will
find at the foot of this, taking care to use them alternately,
and to change the seal and atter the hand \'.ry frequently.
You may, for the future, address your letters, tinder
cover, to " Mr. L INDS-MANN; Post-olliee, et Munich,"
where you may recommend them to the carp of the servant of
the Post-ollice ; not to give rise to the least misunders:lmil_
ing on this point, I here subjoin a form of each of the
three methods which you must Use alternately :
First Nlethod. --'4 To Mon S. Acoa R üBER C. re: _
mended to :he care of AIOIIS. LIND EM A N N , of the Post-otlics:
Nlinnch."

Second Method.—" To Mons. ne.m A N N,
at Munich, to be transmitted to M. PI Eititi. Sri ...UL IN oi
Merchant."
Third Method.—" TO Mrs. CR MEit, at Mtinich," and
afterwards put it under cover, addressed to " Mr. Li xbF_
111 N N."

N.
B. Take care never to write t►pon your letters, " to be
forwarded to M. D." It is not only unnecessary, but may
excite suspicion.
The following are the addresses which you ►mist, for the fu-
ture, alternately use for your letters ; at the salne time piti;ne
them ►crier cover; and addressing them ro lbe care d.j Mr.
LINDEMANN:

I. NI. Jacob Reiberg 8. Miss Taxis

COPY OP A LETTER FROM MR. DRAKE TO NIR.
OBRESKOW, WITH THE POST-MARK OF MUNICH.

SIR , December 3, 1803.
I duly received your's of the 16th ult. but late, as it ought
to have come to hand the 24th of the same Month. There
are several passages in it that are scarcely legible; among
others, where you write about money. To avoid a like in.
convenience for the future, request of you to avoid Using wa-
ter for soaking your pen. 1 also received one of your favours
.the 28th of last month, as also two bulletins since that, but
all three without being (kited or numbered, so that I am not
certain whether your correspondence comes immediately to
hand. I therefore recommend this pciint as very essential
to the regularity of our communications. I hope you re-
ceived my No. 2, anti request you will inform Me, if I ought
to continue to make use of the same address and channel.
In this case you will instruct your friends at 'll'oulouse (Stras-
burg) to ask for my letters at the post-office when they put
in your's. -ReSpeeting the sending a person to Switzerland,
to take care of your correspondence with the Artny, 1 do not
see any objection to this measure. But never lose sight of the
maxim I here inculcate; which is, never to multiply the
ramifications of the project, because you thereby multiply
',the chances of a discovery ; and that all confidence bestowed,
which is not strictly and absolutely necessary to the plan, is
mot only useless, but dangerous. For the rest, I hope that
.nothing %ill! be done aVeciritatet),, and that they will not begin
to ati 'till a plan of operations be settled, which should all
snove forward together towards the proposed end. All par-
tial and unconnected -Measures are good fur nothing, and must
necessarily end in defeat.
1 wish much to.know whip the members are that compose
your committee, and, above.all, the character, talents, opi-
nions, and designs of him whom you have fixed on for your
chief; tint I am at the same time sensible that this commu-
nication cannot be made till you have a safe opportunity for
Totilonse (Strasburg), as it would' be risking too much to trust
it to the post.
Although the two btilletins were in faa very barren of in-
formation, I doubt not that, in consequence of the measures
you have taken., they will in future oecome interesting. It
of the utmost importance that you should be thoroughly
informed of what is
.passing in the-bureau, -as your views
can never be promoted, it you are ignorant of those of the
Consplar .Government ; and you will remember, that I have
Often rated it to yoU, that one of the Witt method* etas..

I have received, more or less regularly, the three Bulle-
tins, No. to, of the 2,Bth Dec. No. 12, • of the sth Jan. and
No. 13, of the satne date. Your favours 'Of the 4th and,sth
of fan. are also come to hand, also that of the 12th lan. No.
t, never came to hand ; but I can draw no inference, except
that, the transcriber has, by mistake, marked No. r 2, the bul-
letin, which ought to have been No. it. 'lt will, neverthe-
less, be very proper to ascertain, whether this supposition is
true, in order to remove all doubt on this point.
intiirtried you in my last, that the-Consular CoVernmeht
had some suspicions of my correspondence with the interior
of France. .1.0 this is to be attributed the insertion in the
Moniteur, No. I is, of this year, of:an-article, in the -
of a note of pretended news ;tom London, of Jan. 2, Men-
tioning the arrival of an extraordinary couriertrom Munich,
the preceding day. This is a palpable falsehood : for the
rest, it is nut the. first time that the Ft a sr C'ovsCL has
employed this nianceuyre, since.he made I.lc uf it soon alter
my arrival at Munich, as may be seen irt the Moniteur, No.
tot, of the tat of january, ISO). It appears that his sus-
picions arise trout vague foundations. He knows, that,
during my residence in. Italy, 1 had connexions with the in.
terior of France, and so he supposes. the sairie exists at pre-.
sent, and the inJre so, as I am, at this 'nutrient, une,of those
English-ministers who is at the least diStance front the fron-
tiers. It is nevertheles very plain that, notwithstandhie the
pains taken Id induce a belief that a correspondence existed
between me and the disalfected in the interior, that the Con-
sular Government has nut acquired the smallest indication"
• that can lead to a doubt even of our, correspondence: in that
case it would not have cut the clue whichinielit have led to
greater discoveries after Wards, by pUblishing articles which
ought to put us Oil our guard, and engage us, in case of ne-
cessity, to change the channel of our communication to defeat
their calculation.
The meana which it had recourse to in Gerniany, in order,
. to make discoveries, have not succeeded, tOr I have just re-
ceiveitcorrect intelligence, that the emissary. I mentioned to
you would nut obtain the least news any where.
You may, therefore, make yonrsclf perfectly easy on that
head.
I nevertheless recommend to you, not to write either the
dare or thice with common ink in your letters or btilletios,
but with sympathetic ink ; you will easily guess the reason,
• without my ,pointing it out. I hear of all those partial and un-.
connected inovements you mention, with the greatest con-
cern ; and I ant of your opinion, that they can have no other
effect than that of causing Government to redouble its vigi.
lance, and Mabee it to adopt severe measures, which wilt -be
very, fatal to many valuable persons., who might have render.
ed tiS:esSential services, had they been better employed.
The tate of the Committee which You mention in your'let. -
ter of the sth, the existence of which 1 learnt from you, .
. will no doubt serve to pot you on your guard against false
brethren, and render you very circumspect to whom you con-
fitleyour •wO..4.,seceet. The grand art of carrying on a similar
operation- to that with which you are charged, consists in con-
fidiog to each exadly what appertains to the part which he,
has to at, and no more.
As to the desire which your General has expressed (accord.;
ing to the Bulletin, No. 13), to haveau idea of the epoch,
when the ()iterations should begin ; I answer, that it initst de-
pend upon the ideas entertained respecting the progress df your.
'operations. According to your's of the 15th Dec. you propose
to yourself the exciting a commotion in tour Departments, on
• a fixed day ; but I doubt whether this measure, if unsup--
ported elsewhere, will produce any great elleCl. It , might
cause a teniporary einbarrassment;to the F i't s a Cox a u x, but
it appears to me impossible, that it should, in the end, suc-
ceed, if ll.'s Army is at his disposal, or if one is not pre-
viously assUred of the concurrence of a good part of his
Troops.
I request of you to inform tile what we have to rely on in
this one particular, that-I may be able to regulate my ideas
anti calculations, and our proceedings thereon. IM my .
ifuni, the grind point is to gain as many partisans as possible
in the Army, for, I am firmly of opinion that it is by their
means alone that we can reasonably hope to he able to edict
the so Much wished-fur Change. 'I long-, 'as ardently as you
Can, for the 11101nent when we dare to spew ourselves ; but it
is necessary that every step should be previously agreed upon,
:that we may be assured, that when the blow is struck, it
may not fail- Or want Ot yfeparidion for every possible event,
and that our means may not be uselessly dissipated. Also,'
twit the Steps t 6 betaken, posterior-10 the breaking out of the
insurrection, *should be settled, to prevent all subsequent
miitakes, and enable the Royalists to profit by the troubles
which the Republicans would thus excite,
The 2400 livres which 1 remitted you on the 27th ult. are
for your salary up:to: Feb. is ; but as you may •have further
occasion tor Money in ease you judge it expedient to quit
France, I will send you by the next post a drag to'r
francs, which Will dray you the tjth March. 1 shall
not write any thing. in the letter which %vitt serve as a cover.
As to the SLIMS which I have caused you to receive troth the
Crumnittee, I leave that to your oWn jtidonent and that of
your associates, being Atli>. persuaded -that you will employ
-them as shall best seem to sou at this present moment, fur
the advancement of your plans. I shall keepß-7's
,Letter
to an EngliShinan ; the packet is too heavy to send by the
post, anti I shall not forward it till 1 have a sate conveyance.,
For the remainder, I print it in t:erniany.
As to your making a long stay is France, you are at 'tette&
liberty, and I even recommend you to depart the very tn, -
ment you tied your presence no longer, necessary. You tan
