themselvci to so Much infamy. - •
" The.Senat:: perccivcs, with sorrow, among the numbcu-
of the accused, one of the .most illustrious defenders of the
country. The serious nature of the charge, and the existing
circumstances, eihiperithisly, require' the measures winch have
been adopted with, respea to him. You have done what the
safety of priVate Citizens detriands, by sending the accused
before the Tribuhalp., •
ti
'° The wish of the .Senate, Citizen First Consul, is, that
you should yield less to that courage which despises all kinds
of danger, and that you should not give up ail your attention
to public allairs,,bUt tit:if:l.oU should reserve a part for-your
personal safety, which is also. that of the country.''.
The First Consul replied thus :

. '.‘• Since I attained the Supreme
.Magistracy, a great many
plots have bee& fentied.againsr my life. Educated in camps,
rhave never tektitded as important, dangers which gave, me
'
no,fear. - '

"- But I cannot avoid experiencing a deep arid painful:feel-
ing, when I consider the situation in which this great Nation
.would hive been placed,' if this last Plot had succeeded ; .for
it is principally against the glory, the liberty, anti the destiny
of the French People,' that the Conspiracy was tbrmed.
".I hay;
,long since renounced the hope. of enjoying the.
pleasures of private lire: An my days 'are employed in ful-
filling the duties which my, fate and, the will of the French
People have imposed-6n me.
•' Heaven:will:watch over France, and dereat.the plots of
the wicked. The Citizens may be without alarm. My life
will last as king as it shall be useful to the Nation ;• but I
Wish the French People to understand, that existence with-
out thclir confidence and atteAion, would be for me without
consolation, and-would for them have no objcet"

The Deputation of the Legislative Body being;
introduced, Citizen FONTANNRS, the Presirlent,.
presented the deliberation of that Body, in which'
the First Consul was felicitated on the discovery of.
a Conspiracy which menaced the State and his
person.
Citizen FONTANNtS made a speech go the First
Consul, in the same manner as the. President of the
Senate.

, The, Membets of the Tribunate were next intro.
duced to the First Connt, and their President,
Citizen Jou 13 RT, read to him an Address, in which
there was nothing remarkable except .the first
fence, viz. '' While we tlicugh:, Citizen First
Consul, that you had nothing to dread but the
dangers of •it just War; the perfidy of the E.rglish
Government surrounded you with new snares :
what a humiliating confess-ion of its inahility to
combat with
,open arms the repairing genius of
France!. What a brilliant testimony of the intimate
ties which conned you with the safety of the Re—
public and ,the tranquillity, of Europe !" -
The First Consul replied to the Deputations of
the Legislative Body and the Tribunate in nearly
the same terms .as to that of the Senate.

" Their'projea, after having assassinated the FIRST CON-

Holland, would have ceased to command PeaCe our glory

" A new disembarkation of twenty of these Brigands is to
take place.; but ambuscades •are laid; and they will be ar-
rested.

" In these circumstances, so fatiguing for the heart of the
