" Paris, so ?fist* (Jan. to.)

Citizen Conful,
" For feveral decades a print, publifhed in the
morning, add clandeftinely diftributed, fpread all
the calumnies for which it is poffible to gain credit
in a great city. All that is refpe&able or refpeaed
in the nation was treated by miferable libellifs
with the greatett infamy. It was not any regard
lor the good of the State, or even zeal for a fac-
tion, which animated the wretched fcribblers.—
A few low !harpers having perceived the avidity
of ftrangers to learn the particulars of the private
life of we firft perfonages in the State, and above
all of the C0113t7 L., had founded upon this
curiofity the hope of a Ihameful gain. The grand
objea of this print, therefore, was to !late the
thoughts, words, and anions of the Cause Cox-,
sot., every infant of both day and night. The
editors announced, with a ridiculous impudence,
what he had done or was about to do. Old anec-
dotes of the moil. corrupt courts were revived
under new names. The prodigious number of
firangers in Paris fpread theft bulletins all over
Europe. Hence-the inquietudes and the crowd
of abfurd reports which for a month pall have
!pervaded Paris, the departments, and neighbour.
ang countries. In this way we are to account for
the ridiculous fables recounted with fo much gra-
vity in German and Englifh journals ; and yet
thefe lies, notwiddianding their clumfinefs, alarm-
ed all the timorous, both at home and abroad.—
police regularly procured a copy of this print.
From the exceiGve tlupidity of the conductors,
and its entire want of every thing which ought to
recommend a periodical publication, it was for
Tome time difregarded ; but the police loon .law
the neceffity ofdeteaing the mercenary wretches,
when, by repeating day after day the fame infa-
mies, they began Le excite real uneafinefs. It was
loon difcovered that a man of the name of Fouil-

haus, one of the very lowa of the people, unable
after many experiments, am unable to gain a rub-
fiance' had It lall betaken himfelf to this fpecies
of induftry. He was arrefted and interrogated.
His papers were feized, and among them was
found a Lift of his t übferibers. There red

It is unnecefary to !earth farther for the origin
of thefe rumours of plots, of thefe private anec-
dotes, which have for Tome time been whifper-
ed in every circle. Thofe who pride themfelves
on their fuperior information, the deep poli-
ticians, have allowed themfelves for about the
thoufandth time to be duped by an aukward
manoeuvre, the objed of which was to debate
whatever is moft rerpeetable. and to render doubt-
ful the character and tteadiners of the Fiat Magif-
trate of the Republic. It is not very eaCy to con-
ceive how ftrangers, who have been for Come time
• at Paris, thould have continued to encourage fuch
abfurdities. The poor creatures they employed
did not know even the perfon and exterior ap,
pearance of the Cats Coasts Their print Chews
this almoi in every page.
