CRIMINAL TRIBUNAL E
OF THESEINE DEPARTMENT
OF . • ,
11- Al of Accusation of the persons implicated in the,
Conspiracy agaiast the Ciovernment, has just been published
in one volume, Bvo. •tof 34a pages. The following is an Ex.
tia,..l :
The Commissary or Government has established three
,pro-
positions: ist, That the Conspiracy
isindisputably proved ;
ad, That the English Governiwnt is the soul of it ; and Id,
That all the individuals confined in virtue of the different
Mandates or Arrest, are authors ur accomplices in the Con-
spiracy, or guilty of infringing the Law of the 9th Ventose
(2.Sth Feb ), relative to Conspirators. The proofs arise front
fads imputed to the accused, and depositions obtained by
divers interrogatories, as appears from the following attesta.

VOHS.
" GEORGE CADOUDAL deposed, That he. came to P,aris
to attack. the FIRST CONSUL by main force; that there were
several personi in Paris under hie orders; that his object, and
that of iris Coadjutors, were a 800 elicitt in the place of
the FIRST CONSUL; that tilts BouRBON was the Pretender,
acknowledged by him and his adherents as Lou is tSth ; tliet
ci-devant Prince was to be at Paris ; that, upon the attack being
made,-he was to ad the part assigned by this Prince; that
the plan had been formed, and was to he executed in concert
with the ci-cievant French Princes; that he had long had
sums of money at is disposal ,• that he was to attack the
Ft AST CONSUL Wi li arms, Bre. similar to those Of his at.
tendants auti guards.
" Russ iLL lON deposed, That PICItRISRU persuaded him
to accompany him trona London, and that, to IDS repel, he had
joined tor the purpose of subverting the Government; that
he had every reason to believe that it was with the ci-de vain
Count. D'ARToIS tn.e. Picas:Gen had prepared the plan.
Ile spoke of Moe Lau and GEORG es as being pointed out to
him as Chiefs in the Consp.racy with P teal/GA(I. He said
Laeoe a is, on his arrival in London, gave assurances
that Molt/ u, discontented wan the Government of the
FT es e CONSUL, desired, and WAS ready to with all his
power in its oyerthrow ; that, sin c ins arrival in France;

says, that ee heart!,elie two I'OLIGNACa say to another per-
son, " All goes ill ! they do not aerial Nloxes.tr does not
keep his word ! He has his own views ! We have been de-
ceived." He added, that Mott eau, aceuraing to all he had
heard, was a person on wnoin they principally relied, and that
he was undostood to have at his coininand an armed force,
and to possess an ascendancy over Some Departments of
Public Authority.
" Bo v eer DE Loz lER, describing himself Adjutant Ge-
neral of the Royal Army, who attempted, when taken, to
make away with himself, on the teth of February, made the,
following Declaration to the Grand f udge:
" It is a man coin* trom the tomb, and yet covered with
the shade of death, that now demands vengeance on those who,
by their perfidy, have cant him and his party into the abyss in
which he now finds himself. Sent to maintain the cause of
the BOURBONS, he found himself obliged either to fight for
Mott Ewe or to relinquish the enterprize which was the sole
object of his mission. Let me explain myself: Monsieur (the
Count D'Aeeots) was to repair to France, in order to put
himself at the head of the. Royalists : MOREAU promised to
espouse their cause; but on their arrival in France, he retraßs,
and wishes them to become his instruments, and to get him
appointed Diaarer. The charge which 1 bring against him
is, perhaps, supported only by half proofs. 1 shall state the
fads : it rests with you to juege of their weight and validity.
" A General who had served under Mo it EAU, believe his
name is Lee oca ts, was sent by hint to the Princes in Lon-
don. Peen Loan was the intermediate Agent. Laeoeais,
expressly acting ter MOREAU, gave his assent to the principal
points of the proposed plan. The Prince was preparing to
set out : the number of the Royalists in France was increas-
ing ; but in the interviews which took,place in Paris between
Moesatr, PICHEGRU, and GEORGES, the first made known
his intentions," and declared that lac could ad only for a Dic-
tator, and not for a King. Hesitation, dissentions, and the
almost total ruin of the Royal Party, were the consequences.
" LnjoLAts was with the Prince in the beginning of Ja-
nuary, as GEORGLS told' me ; but I can declare, from my
-own knowledge, having seen him on the r7th of that month,
the rooming atter he 'made:. with Piesiz ox tr. Our meeting
was brought about by. means of the Correspondence Which
you are too well acquainted with.
" I saw Le e o tea I s again on the •zeth or 26th of January,
iu Nlagdalen's Suburb, where he came up to a carriage in
which I was with PICHEGRU and Giox CRS, both of whom
he concluded to MOR-EAu, who was waiting at a short dis-
tance. They had some conversation in the Champs lllysees,
whence we could easily anticipate what MOREA u, at another
naterview_.with Pi c LIEGE U alone, stated without any 'reserve;
namely, that it was impossible to restore4Phe King, but that
he himself might be placed at the head of the Government,
under the title of Diaarot, thus leaving the Royalists no
chance but that of being his fellow-labourers and soldiers.
I do not kntior what stresrYou'may lay on the assertions
of a man rescued this very hour from the death Which he
wished to infii6t on-himself, and whose eyes are now open to
the fate that awaits hint from an offended Government, but
I cannot suppress the emotions of despair—l cannot help at-
tacking the -4nan
.who brought me to it. Besides,' in the
colerse of the trial in which I am implicated, you will find
other proofs to confirm what I have advanced.
" Po eieN A.c (A atea en) was, it seems, a little evasive its
his first examination, simply stating that GEORG.ES and his
party would not have attempted any thing till the Prince's •
arrival in Paris, when he and his adherents would meet the
FIR ST CONSUL in a fair, loyal, and spirited. manner. Hav-
ing seen PICHEGRU in London with the Prince, he believed
him returned to his duty, but he knew nothing of MOREAU,.
and had not heard of his having made any positive Declara-
tions. But thiS Prisoner is sant to have been afterwards more
precise in the acknowledgment of his, attachment to the
,Prince, whose intention, he said, was to come to France, and
to propose to the Ft RST CONSUL to give up the reins ofGo.:
verninent to his Brother (Louis XVIII.); but in case of re-.
fusal,to recover by the sword-what he deemed to be the rights
of his Family. In answer to a question which was asked him'
Whether he knew that Geoao ES, PICHEGR V, and Moganu

" POLtoN-AC (lutes) being te,lhei eon,: to ,fee!are what
instructions had been given him on his leavitia said,
he had received none, but did not deity his 'etyma heath
something transpire Wish respea to a chattgein the l'eencli
Government. It had been. hinted by tile ("runt D'A tete ts .
lie also confessed his haying salt G Eta ca $ fir Paris, and curt-
versed with him on the tnanner in which the Rine mien;
be
restored, as well as having asked him how matters stood ? to
which C sok dsS:replied, all was well. Yet this Prisoner
owned, that the plan dirt not appear either, to hint or to his
btotl►er as honourable as they naturally exp:ded ; they had
talked of withdraWing to 14,ylland.
4` I,i'ioLAts declared. antrine other matters, that "'teinE-
GRU, otrthe-27th Pluviose, returning true' appohninatt
with Molt chti, seemed dissatisfied,,,and tlitotving otra little
of his usual reserve.- said, " this,scoundiel is ambitious, and,
wants to reign: I wish' him success; but, in. trif
'opinion, lie is not fit to govern France for two months." 'Plus
prisoner, added, .that G_Eta (tees siinp,ly alined. at 'the restore-
don of Monarchy in France; that in order to accomplish this
point he had left London, after a stay of six months; that his
design was first to assassinate the Cur er Cosa LI 1., and then
to put todeath all who might oppose hint; that he had many
persons at his command in Paris, in Picardy, and elsewhere ;
that he had a portmanteau, full of gold, upon which he and
his trusty friends placed no small reliance ; that it had been
buried in a garden at CIIMIIOI, and was hot found at tile time
of the search, but was carried oft' two days after.
" Melt! au, in an examination. before the Grand Judge,
confessed that he had been tampered with by ER EONIER s,
and afterwarda by PteuLcatr ; but he seems to have been
more positive in a Letter to the Kt RS T CU NS U e, dated front
the Temple, in which, after mentioning I' t cneca u, he goes
on thus
6' During the two last Campaigns in Germany, arid siece•
the Peace, some distant overtures Were made. to melt to try
,whether it was possibleao make me enter into a connexion
with the French Princes. I looked upon the proposal as too
ridiculous to deserve an answer. «ith regard to the present
Conspiracy, I can also assure you, that 1 have not the least
hare in it, &c. 1 repeat,General, that whatever ofti:..r was made
,• me,. i al frays rejekted it, front the fullest persuasion of its be-
ing the very excess us tolly ; and when it was suggested that
the havasiomet England would afford a favourable.epportu-
nity ebna change of Government, my answer was; that in
case 'of any contusion, the authority of the Senate would
be the bond of union. among frenchmen, and that I
shOuldbe the first to Submit to its orders. Stich offers made
to me, an individual, wholly 'unconnected even: with the
Army, pine tenths of whom had served under, my. corn-
manl,, or with any of the Constitued Authorities, Must have •
met with a direct refusal. ant to turn informer was repug-
nant, to my character. That is an office generally censured,
. and always odious. It impre,sses a certain stainp of repro-
bation on the titan who takes it tip, iii the eye of those to
whthn he may be attached, either by gratitude, or former ties
of friendship." Being pressed to explain Ininsektl---Ile an-
swered, that instead of the objeei being a change in the Go-
vernment, it merely respected an individual,' and that it was
the F last- Coiss et, the party of Gaoaans meant to attack..
" The. Ex-Marquis Da RivicaE, first Aid-a"C-Cilfly to
the Count D'Aa TO Is, and high in his`contide, declared,
that the *6th Venrose he came to Paris, inorder to be satis-
fied of the real state of affairs, fu-.- the purpose of representing
the same to the Princes ; who then could judge whether it
would be most expedient to proceed to , France, or to remain
in England. That, in genertil, he observed in Frotee, the
prevailing wish to be a preservation of internal tr.ineta..ity.,.
" Louts Picot., a servant of Cioac es, stated, that the •
Chiefs had drawn lots to determine winch Ovoid attack the
FIRST CO risu —that they proposed to carry him oil, should
they meet hint oh the road to 800 loAne —or to assassinate loin
in the ad of presenting a Petniati on the Parade, of When he
should go to any puoiic place:- In this view they were to
provide Uniforms, Ouch as those of the -Chasseurs (blue), of
the- Hussars (green), with cocked hats, , At, the . shine -
time, he said, :that the Chiefs hart frequently-repeated the
words levant Dui ;• and that they were angry when the Princes,
employed Aloc.c.ftu in the atliur.
RoLLA ND, in an examination taken on the agth of last
Pluviose, stated, that he returned to his own house about ten:
o'clock at night on' that day Pref.; ECRU had the conference
with Mons A U, to whom he went in Ins cabriolet ; that on his
return P ICH EGM.I informed him that projects were itt agita-
tion very different from those he had supposed. He told me,
he had seen the Irrinces in England.' Being commissioned
to make overtures td .Moaeau, he had, conferred with him
on the subject, but that not coining to a right understand-
ing, he begged hint to call the following day. Ile-was. to
be called on definitively to say, whether he was willing to
°head an Insurrection in favour of Royalty ? Or, if' not, in
case he was supported,. if he was inclined Jo place the Go-
vernment, as then constituted, into :legitimate hands, as,
Won as practicable. That, on the day in welch he was
neeessitated ro make ,the overtures to MoitEau, he en-
tertained- the lope, but wily he knew' not,. Ge-
shtral would have aced so as to relibve him from the em-
barrassment. In a short time, he received this answer from
him : 66 I cannot put myself at the head of any mover} tit
in favour of the BouitaoNs —they- have acted solill, that
such a plan would not succeed. It PIGHEGRU is willing to
co-operate for other' aiews, and thinks it necessary that the
Cohsuls and the Governor of Paris should disappear, 1 -be-
lieve 1 have a party in the Senate strong enough to obtain
such an authority, which I would immediately use to shcl-
_ter his people. On these grounds, I will come to a verbal
agreement, but I shall commit nothing.to writing." He
likewise added, that since the first overture was made to him,
he MO spoken to manrof his friends."

AUTHENTIC LETTER OF GENERAL.MOREAU
:TO 'THE FIRST CONSUL.
The Temple, May 7.
" it is now near a month since I. have been detained as an
accomplice of GtoxcisandPtciagcxu, and I am perhaps
destined to appear before the Tribunals, and vindicate myself
fiom the charge of Conspiracy against the. s.afety• of the State,
anci against its Chief Magistrate.
• " I was far frothexped:ng, that after having passe gh
the Revolution and the War, free florn the' slightes *eh •
of ineivisninr ambition (and more especially, atter :wing been
at the head of Meat and vidoriQus armies, which would have
given Me the means of satisfying such passions if I possessed
them), that it would be at themoment when • I was living a
private lite, only engaged Family, and only seeing
a.yery sinall circle of friends, that I could be accused of such
an ad of Madness. I have no doubt but that my harmer con
tiexion with General Pi u has been• tbe motive of my
accusation. • '
" Before I speak of m'y justification, -permit: me, General;.
to trace this connexion to its source, and I doubt not but yeru
will be convinced, that the connexions which one may keep
up fivith. an old friend, and a. man who has been Airiverly.
one's Commander, however divided in opinion, and -fibwever
attached to different parties, are far from being criminal.

wi tfoliiin at the Army of the Norm) informal ille.that General
P tetra oily was one of those banished in FruCtidor,, and that
he was astonished at hearing that it tiros front my opposition
alone, that you refused to permit his return to France. I re-
plied to.M. Days o, that so far from opposing his return. I
should make it my business to solicit for turn this.permission.
He showed this letter to some persons, and I have learnt Willi'
the demand was .positively made to you.
" Some time arter M. Day t>i wrote to. tie, "that he ;pi
applied to PI c naafi. d to demalid of you direCtly to be erasei
from the list ; but that he had answered, .that he would not
make the demand, unless he was certain that it would be'
complied with ;" that moreover, he desired him to thank me
for the•answer I had given, and to assure ine, that he had never
Supposed me capable of acting in the manner that was imputed
to me ; that he even knew, that in the affiir of the (7orre-
Spendence of Klin lin, I had been placed in a- most delicate '
'situation. M. DAvln wrote me three or fottt more unim-
portant.letters on this subject. After his arrest, he wrote to,
inc to take some steps in his favour. I was very sorry that
the distance between me and the Government prevented me
from giving some lights to your justice in this respect, and I
do not doubt but it would have been easy to 'have removed
that -prejtidiee which had been given you upon this.subjeet.
" I no longer heard I'tcntox u spoken or, except indirect- 1
ly, and by'persons ;whom the Was obliged to return to France.
From that epoch to the present moment, during the t'wo
campaigns id Gerritany, and since. the Peace, there haVe beery
distant overtures nt ule to to know whether it was Pos.")
.sible to prevail co-me to enter• into correspondeoce onto the
French PrioCes. I considered these proposals so ridiculousS
that I did notsevea make any answer. •
" As to the actual Conspiracy, I can equally affirm, that
that,
am tar from having tho•least share in it. 1 confess even
that I am at aloss to conceive-bow a handful or i►t,l►vt foals,
dispersed, could lio•pe to change the face of the State; and id:
-restore upon the Throne a family that time combined et-feria of.
all Europe, and of Civil kVor, could not succeed in restating,
'or how it can be supposed, thst I could he su voicOof reason•
as to join in such a plait, by which 1 dont id lost the 'whoiet
fruit of my labours,. which would only in such oase drahw,.

' 1 repeat it to you, General, that whstsver proposition
was made to me, 1 have rejetied from' opinlsni and always.
'considered it the greatest folly ; and when it has been repio-
senteil to me,' that the chan'es of the Invasion of England
were Lotter-at:le to a changeof Government, I. ret!iedi that
the Senare was the -authority' round which' all kreachtnen,

first to

" The part of giving information to Government was re-.
pugnant to my ct-aratter, an office which is always judged of
severely ; it becomes odious, and marked With the seal or re-,
probation, against the man who is guilty of it, with respect
to persons to whdin ne owes gratitude, and with whom he
