REPORT TO THE CORSI/LE OF THE REBURLIC, lIT

THE MINISTER OF GRIIILRAL FOUL-F.

Pari4, January C.
a Citizens Con&ls—France will long fluidder
at the attempt of the 246 December. By the
nature of that crime—by the numerous homicides
it waf to produce, and has produced, even in fail-
ing in its (Nee, we may difcover that it could
'only be committed by the enemies of mankind.—
Paris and the Republic give their affillance and
Itheiv tears to the victims; and the Firft Corfu!,
efcaped from danger, is more hrrounded—more
preffed, and in fonse fort better guarded than ever
—by the love and the force of all the citizens—by
a crime unheard of till now, which they have jail
added to lb many others, thefe homicides have
rendered the intimate and leered union betwcen
the Republic avid the Firit Magiarate 11111 more
inviolable. They have given more power to that
which they willed to annihilate— have ma-
nifefied to the eyes of all Europe how inditfoluble
that authority is which has the laws for its founda-
tion, and the love of all thole who obey them for
its fupport. Men implicated in all forts of crimes
renew daily, under every form, the plan conceived
of annihilating order and Public prolperity in
France. They are not the brigands agaitift whom
jultice and her forms are infiitutesl, and who me-
nace only partially perfnns and property ; they are
the enemies of all France, who every moment
threaten every Frenchman with delivering him up
to the furies of anarchy. Thefe dreadful men are
few in number, but their offences arc countlefs.
It was by them that the National Convention was
attacked with arms even in the fanduary of the
laws of the nation. It was they who fo often
wifhed to make all the Committees of Government
the accomplices of the vi,clims of their fanguinary
rage ; it was they who tried to turn againft the
Direttory and the city of Paris the troops deltiaed
to guard than. They arc not the enemies of inch
and fuch a government, but of all governments;
and that which themfelves might create would
loon be dellroyed by their own hands. They
were forced to change their taffies, at the fight of
a government conllantly furrounded by the pub-
lic opinion, and molt cfpecially the aficaion of
the people. Under that government they felt that
they could not multiply groups, or route the peo-
ple, who every day evince the hatred and con-
tempt they have for them. Thus all that they
have tried for a year has only had affallination for
its objed, either on the road to the }lra Conful's
country houfe, or at the opera, or in the areas,
or even by introducing thaoliiveihrtabturaacoos

paffages into the interior of the Thuilleries. The
ftupor and diforder which the death of the Firft
'Cunful would have produced appeared propitious
to their frightful deigns. It is an atrocious was
which can only be terminated by an atl of extra-
ordinary high Police. Among the men whom
the Police has pointed out, all were not taken with
daggers in their hands ; but all arc univerfally
known to be capable of iharpening and making
ufe of them. It is not now alone naceifary to pe-
nal* for the pa% but to guarantee focial order.

RATIONS OF THE COUNCIL OF STATE, JAN. i.

The DiGniller of Police made a report, after
which he prefented a plan of an artrie, to place m s
Rate of Surveillance out of the territory of the
Republic, a certain number of individuals.
• The Firfl Conful afterwards fubmitted to the
deliberation of the Council the two following quell
tions:

high police of the Guvcrument, or ought it to be couvertett is
to a plan °f law
The Council of State deliberating upon thole
two qneaions, and confidering—On the firU, that
fince the beginning of the Revolution, there has
exified a daft of individuals, who, profiting by
the different interregna of law, and by the al.
fence of all public force, have been guilty ofcrimes,
whole impunity has been one fource of calumny
againft liberty and the French Nation; that fusee
the organization of the prefent Government there
has not been a lingk day without fume plan for
compaffing the afiidlination of the principal Magill.
tratc of the Republic ; that thus this clafs, the
produce of a Revolution which has let loofe all
the paflions, cannot be, and is not, in fad, con-
sidered by the whole nation but as a league of bri-
gands, who are in a Rate of permanent warfare
againft all public order; that a conftitution and
;laws made for the mildeft and molt generous peo
pie on earth, cannot afford any means againft this
clefs of individuals, is of opinion, that, to affirm
the conflitution and public liberty, the Govern-
ment ought to place in furveillance out of the Eu-
ropean territory of the Republic, the individuals
whom the Minifter of Police !hall point out to
them, and whom the Government (hall recognife
as belonging to that clefs of men.
" Upon the fecund queftioa, the Council is of
opinion, that the ad of high police in quelion is
not of a nature to be the °Ned of a law.
Neverthelcfs the Council, confidering that
this ad being an extraordinary one, and having
for its obied the maintenance of the cenftitution`
and public liberty, is on that very account of the
fpecial competence of a body, which, by the fpirit
of its institution, is to watch over every thing
which concerns the prefervation of the focial pad;
that betides, in a cafe like this, the reference made
by the Government to the Confervative Senate, to
provoke with refpeet to its own ads the examina-
tion and decifion of the tutelary body, becomes by
the force of example a fate hard capable of con-
firming the nation for the future, and of ftrength-
ening the Government itfelf againft every ad
dangerous to public liberty, is of opinion, that this
ad of the Government lhall be carried by the Mem-
bers of the Council of State to the Confervative
Senate, to form the matter of a &vela: Cajole's*
pronouncing upon the queftion, whether this
meafure is confervative of the Conftitution.

THE TRIAL OF THE CONSPIRATORS.

The trial of Ceracchi, Demerville, Arena, To-
pino-Lebrun, Diana, and their accomplices began
Tele:day morning. Their indiament being read
to them, a great number of witneffes again& them
were cane&

- -
The firli was Citizen Harrel, who depofed that,
having been at the houfe of Demerville, one of the
prifoncrs, with whom he was particularly acquain-
ted, he heard Tome converfation concerning plans
to overturn the Government, and to aaellnate
the Chief Conful at one of the Theatres of Paris;
that feveral indiiiduats were named to him as
heads of the confpiracy ; and that he was corn.
mifLoned to purchafe arms, and to procure four
refolute men.
Alarmed at this converlttion, Captain Harrel
went to Citizen Lefebvre, Commilfary of the War
Department, and made him acquainted with the
confpiracy. The latter immediately informed the
Minliler of the Police. In the mean time Citizen
Han-el received money from the cunfpirators ;he
bought arms; he fent part of them to the confpi-
yators, and part to Citizen Lefebvre. On the loth
of Oatiber, the day fixed upon for the execution
of the plot, they went to the Opera. Citizen Mar-
ia repaired thither with four armed men. Diana
was perceived iu a box oppof;te that of the Chief
Conful. Orders were given to watch him. Ceracchi
walked about in the pafrales, and was immediately
fri zed before he had had time to procure his arms.
Diana was likewifc arreited.
In;eonfequence of the vigilance of the Mice,
feveral othes's were taken no at Demeerilkishoufe.
?le was from home himfelf, but he furrendercd
hitqfelf thc next day into the hands of Office.
The priioners being interrogated, Ceracchi and
Dcaserville conceited theinfelves guilty, and
cuffed Arens, of whom they Paid they had received
money. When brought before the Foreman of
the Jury, they retrafted what they had Paid, and
pretended that their confcffton had been drawn
from them by violence, and from the fcar of being
shot upon the fpot.
During the trial the prifoners held the fame lan-
guage. They defawled thentfelves with warmth.
Arena particular:; iiirlayed great, fifelety and
adthee:. One of the wit neffes was Ctmf Berland
lbarronovhom Demerville had advifed not to go to
the Opera; for fear, had he, ther.• &add he Tome

mixed, 'Genteel Lek: was likierife heard as a

witntfs. a This confpiraey," raid he, Psolring-..t
the prifoners, a is formed of the very fcum of the
people. They would not have bad fpirit enough
to fly before our invalids with their wooden legs."
Demerville having feveral times interrupted the
witneffes, the Prefident commanded him to be
filent. At that moment one of the official Coun-
fel laid, CitiLan l'refident, the facred duty I
have to perform obliges me to vemind you that you
ought to allow the prifoners all the latitude theT
defire in their defence. The Revolutionary Tn.
bu nal itfelf would not have thought of impofing
filence in this manner." Symptoms of indigna-
tion were manifefted in every part of the Court--
a Citizen Counfel," the Prefident replied,—" I
command you in the name of the Tribunal to be
more circumfpeft, and in a particular manner
not to indulge yourfelf a fecond time in fuch a
comparifon.' _

The Court adjourned Coon after till next morning.
The exculpatory evidence was heard on the 9th.
The witneffes were very numerous, but none could
fay much more than that the Prifoner was known
to them, that they neither believed him guilty nor
capable of confpiring agalnft the life of one,
far lets againft the life of the Chief Conful.
The Commilary of Government (the Attorney
General) then commented at great length upon
the charges in the indidment, and the depofinons
of the mu:ldles. He painted in. glowingtolouts to
the Jury the enormityof the offence with which the
prifoners flood charged. Tfiey had meditated the
murder of a man whole death would oicefion the I
irretrievable ruin of the Rejoublin, and on whole
life the peace and tranquillity a
de-
pend.
Demerville, Ceracchi, Diana Arei2a , and Topi-
no-Lebrun fucceflively demanded to Ipeak :—The
three firff contended that. their, confeftion at the
Police Office had been extorted from them by vio-
lence. " We were prontifed," they laid, " par-
don and protection if we would make the declara-
tions which they required of ui. We were threat-
ened to. be lhot if we perfifled an our denial. The
moment we were at liberty we folemnly retrad-
ed the confeffion, which is now employed to de-
ftroy us."
Demerville demanded of Harrel, Whether he
had not been bribed by the Police to make there
depofitions ?
" A foldier who has ferved his country with
' honour for eight and twenty years does not enter
into the pay of the Police," replied Harrel i • and
as he fit down called them a pad of yillaim.—
"You are a greater villain than any of us, replied
Demerville; " you accufe us of being confpira-
tors. For my part, if I know one, it as yourfelf.
our or five days before October rOth, I heard you
fay at my houfe that Bonaparte was a rafcal, and
that he fhould not perifh but by your hand."
Demerville added, that he could have eafily prov-
ed what he advanced, had not Harrel had the pre-
caution, of four witneffes who heard the converfa-
tion, to denounce two, and to make them be arreft-
ed as confpirators ; if a third had not been allow-
ed to leave France ; and finally, if the fourth had
not been allowed to fet out for Bourdeaux, in fpite
of his earneft requeft, that they might both be ex-
amined before their departure.
-

Demerville likewife complained, that although
he had requefted that the Conful Cambaceres might
be fubpcenaed as an exculpatory witnefs, he had
not made his appearance.
_

" I fuhpcenaed him," faid the Conunifrary of
Government. I have dont every thing that I
could for you."
" I demand that the Court now enjoin him to
attend," replied Demerville.
The Court has no right, interpofed the Fret.
dent. The attendance of exculpatory evidence is
quite voluntary on their part. Their non-attend-
ance is the fame as declaring that they fhould (wear
to nothing in favour of the prifoner.
" Cicero coming down from the Capitol, did not
hefitate to enter the Forum, to defend his fellow
citizens," exclaimed Demerville. '
- -

The Court then gave leave to the Counfel to.
fpeak in defence of the prifoners.
Citizen DONNA/MET role.—" I forewarn the
Counfel," laid the Prefident, a that if they (hall be
guilty of any perfonalities either again( the ma-
giftrates who are at the head of the Police. or
againft thole in an inferior fituation, the court
will aot fail to punifh fuch temerity."

Dommanget, thunderatuck, inftantly fat down-
•• 44 Let us rasher be fent to execution," cried To-
pino-Lebrun.
What then becomes of the law," Paid Oni-
chard, which entitles thole accukd to defend
themfelves by all the means in their power.'''
After Tome minutes of eonfunori; Dommanget
addreffed the Jury, hrft infavour Of all the pre- .
Toners, and afterwards. more particniarlY in favour
of Demerville and Ccracchi, c
. .
He dwelt chiefly upon the abfuiditfathechogei
the good character of- bis clients, their being net
in any degree intenfted in the death of the Chief.'
Cnnful, the improbabitio- and erniteadittion of .l is
evidence of the priocipiti witnefs and hie alrociates.
Citizen Gnichard followed: on, the fame fide,
and undertook the defence of Jofeph Arena. He
attempted to flew, the improbability of the conipi-
racy, the abfolute seam. of proof, and the contra-
diBnry nature of the evidence which had been ad-
duced. He laid particular flrefs upon the eircifm-
Rance that the two perfbns-who had been Arrelted
is the aftliflins of BOgAINIATE were completely un-
armed. But allowing that there had been a con
fpirecy of this nature, he contended that foreph
Arena could not pralibly have had any &arc in it.
Having unfolded all the eirciimftances favoufable
for his client, 'he concluded by an eulogium upon
the Government and an invocation to the genius

• •
of France. •••*
Otiten Cntteril then (poke in defence of Diana ;
hut being frequently interrupted by burfts of laugh-
ter' Diana requefied that be might be defired to
be filent, and that Citizen Donunanget might fup-
ply his place.-The petition was granted, and

tizen Dommanget urgeil every thin in his de&nce
which ihgentuty could Avggeft.
The evidence, which began on the Bth, con-
cluded on the gth, at rnid-day. The Preklent
then re-capitulated it, and propofed a ferics of
queftions to-the Jury, to which the foreman made
the following reply :
" It is agreed upon, that there exifted; in the
month of Vendemiaire laft, a plot, whole objett
was the murder of the CHIEF CONSUL; that the
prifoner Demerville is conviaed.of having taken a
part in this plot, and that be did this with the in-
tention of facilitating its execution. That the pri-
toner Ceracchi is convicted of having been con-
emud in this plot, and this with the view of pro-
moting its accomplifhment ; that the prifoner Are-
na is convicted of being a (barer in this plot, with
the warp& of aiding its completion; that the prifo- '
ner Diana is net convicted of having taken a part in
this plot; that the ' Fumay is not convicted
of being im • in the plot, that the prifoner
Topino:Lebron is convicted of having taken a part
in this plot to promote its execution; that the pp-
toner Daiteg is not conviaedof being concerned
in this plot; that the prifoner Lavigne is not con-
victed of having taken a (hare in this plot; that
arms have been diflributcd for the execution of this
plot ; that the prifoner Ceracchi went to the
Theatre of Arts on the t oth October, for the pur-
pofe of carrying this plot into execution ; that the
prifoner Arena went alto on the roux ()Sober to
the Theatre of Arts, for the fame purpofe of exe-
cuting the plot; that the Itccofed Fumay did re-
pair to the Theatre of Arts, but not with the view
of being concerned in the plot. (Signed)
" Montre, Foreman of the Jury.
" Hassear, Prefident."

After this declaration, the prifoners Diana, the
woman Fumay, Daiteg, and Lavigne were intro••
duced. The Prefident intimated so them, that after
the verdict of the jury they were acquitted of the
charge brought againft them, and would be libe-
rated within 24 hours, unlefs they were detained
on other caufes.

Thcn the pi ifoners Demerville, Ceracchi, Are-
na, and Topino-Lebrun were introduced. The
Prclident canted the unanimous verdidt of the Jury
to be read to them.

The Commifrary of the Government demanded
in .terms of the 612th article concerning crimes
and punifhments, that the punifhment of death
fhould be inflifted on thefe four prifoners.
The Counfel DOMMANCET and GUICHILID Ob-
jeeted to the application of this article of the penal
code, as not correfponding exadly with the quef-
tions fubmitted to the Jury.

The Court retired into their chamber to delibe-
rate on this objedion. In half an hour they re-
turned, and at eleven o'clock in the evening, pro-
nounced fentence in the following terms:
a The Court, after having heard Citizen GE-
RARD, fubititute of the Conuntffary of the Govern-
ment, and his motion for the application of the
612th -Article of the Law of the 25th Odober,
year 4, together with the obfervations fuceellively '
prefented againfl this motion by DOMMANGET
and GUICHARD, the prifoners' Council, with their
conclufion in writing figned by SIMON, their Ad-
vocate, laid upon the table, the object of which
was, that this fhoald be the decifion of the Court.
Whereas the fad declared by the Jury ii merely
that there exited in Odober laft a plot tend-
ing to produca.the murder of the CHI!; CONSUL.
Whereas the Conuniffary of the Governmpt did
not found his motion for the purpofe of ',plying
the punifhment provided by the 612th Article of
the Penal Code, on any thing except an indudion
tending to charaderize the crime by a fundamen-
tal circumllance on which Juries alone have the
right of deciding.
a Whereas the Court cannot decide, either on
the fad, or the circumffances which c erize
the crime or the intentions of the accafrhere-
as, in fhort, the crime fpeci6ed in the 612th
Arti-
cle is different from that which has been declared
by the Jury, the Court ought to declare conforma-
bly to the 432 d Article of fame cods, that the
prifoners Demerville, Ceracchi, Arena, and To.
pino-Lebrua, are acquitted of the accufdtion.

the expreffion of a with fet forth by the Tribunate,
and repeated by the whole of the French people.
And indeed, what army, what deicription of c:.
tizens, have better claim to this pledge and al.•
knowledgrnent of the national gratitude,
what °Wades and perils, through what toil:, and
'labours has the conqueß of Egypt been effected !
By what prodigies of valour, by what unparallel..
examples of patience has it been preferred to
Republic ! Egypt was fubjugatedt the flower r,;
the janiffaries of European Turkey writhed at the
battle of Aboukir. The GRAND Visite, and his
undifciplined diforderly militia were not yet arrived
in Syria. The reveries we had experienced is
Germany and. Italy were blazoned abroad in the
EaR : it was there announced. that the Coalition
threatned the frontiers of France, and that tlifcord
was preparing to furrender up to them its fpoil•.:
and remains. On hearing this account of the nit
fortunes of the country, both duty and affection
brought back to Europelhe 'Man who direeled the
expedition againft Egypt. England laid hold of
that circumfance, and !bread abroad the moil
Snifter infinuations—that the army of EgyMokits
defected by its General; that forgotten by France,
this army was doomed to confume and decay awl,
by difeafe and the hottile (word, far from their
country ; that France herfelf had fallen from her
glory and her conquers ; and that the mull loon
lofe- her exitlence, together with her liberty.' At
Paris certain idle orators inveighed againft the
Egyptian expedition, and deplored the facrifice
of our warriors to a difaftrous fyftem of a grove-
ling jealoufy. Thefe rumours, there fpeechet gree-
dily gathered up and propagated by the Emiffa.
rips of England, filled the army with fufpicions,
with folicitude' . anxiety, and terror. El-Arifcb
seas attacked ; El-Arifch fell into the hands of the
Gamin AT/IER through the intrigues of England.
and the dikouragenient of our foldiers. But in
order to arrive in Egypt, there remained an 1m
menfe defart to be croffed. No wells arc to be
found in this defart but at Catich, and there was
a fortrefs and a battery. Beyond the defart were
the fortrefs of Salahich, an army full of vigour
and of health, newly clothed, fupplied with abun-
dance of prorifions of all kinds, and provided with
ammunition; a greater force in a word than was
neceffary to make head againil three fuch armies
like that of the GRAND V7zi Ea. But our warriors
now breathed but one with, one hope ; that of re•
vifiting and laving their country. KUM yield-
ed to dleir impatience : England fet to work with
threats, frauds, and careffes, and at lag facceens
in extorting, by artifices, the capitulation of El-
Arifch. Our moll intrepid and &Ohl Generals
funk into defperation. The virtuous Das.iix fign•
id, with a reluelant groan, a treaty '.vhich hi re-
probated. Good Lab, however, punCtually eke;
cutcd a capitulation which intrigue had fur rifed.
The fortrefres of Suez, Catich, Salahich, Bilhey's,".
and the whole, of Upper Egypt were evacuarea:'
Damietta foon fell into the hands otthe Tittlts,
and the Mamelucks took poffeffion of Cairo.—
Eighty Turkifh !hips .were in waiting in the port
of Alexandria, to receive our troops. The for-
treffes of Cairo, Gifet, anttfeveral others were to
be furrendered in two days, and the army was
Ithen to have no other afylnnt than thofe fhips that
were to be converted into iheif prifon. *Such was
'the plan Rruck out by perfidioufnefs. The Eng-
lith Government refuted to acknowledge a treaty
which they themfelves bad opened, and which
'was carried on by their Miner Plenipotentiary at
the Porte, and the Commander of their naval form
defined to as again) the Egspoger E4edition*, and
which this Plenipotionary, this Commander, had.
figned 'in conjunction with the Gaawn Vizize..
To this conduCt does France owe the fineß ofhei
poffeffions, and the army Which England his molt
infulted is ftillao cover France with new glory.:—
Exprefres arrived fipm France announced the•
events of .the 9th November and that the facs of
the Republic had already changed. At the re-
fufal of England to ratify the treaty of El-Arifcli
RI. seta was inlignant, and his'indignation was
partaken in, by the whole army. Urged and pet.
pie xed between the ill faith of England and the
obftinacy of the Geist) Vaunt who infifled on
the fulfilment of a Treaty which be hirnftlf was
unable to execute, the army few to arms and to
vengeance. The GRAND VIZIER and his army
were difcomfited and difperfed on the plains of
Heliopolis. What remained of the French in the
fortrefs of Cairo defied all the forces of the Mame-
lucks, and braved all the rage of a populace in-
toxicated and mad with fanaticifm. But -loon
terror and indulgence fucceeded in re-compering
every place that was furrendered, and every heart
that was eflranged. Mouaao Bev, who had been
one of our ma formidable enemies, was-Mann-
ed and gained over by the generous good faith of
the French; and fubmitting to the Republic, he
efteems it an honour to be one of its tributaries,
and an inftrument of its power. Wifdona daily
contributes to eftablifli that power : the Admini-
ftration has affumed a more regular and affured
mode of proceeding—order is introduced into and
animates every department of the public fervice.
The Savans are profecuting their labours, and
Egypt has lately affumed the afpeft of a French co-
lony. The death of General Kxt a E 11, frightful and
unforefeen as it was, had not difturbed the courfe
of our !needles. Under Manny, and by means
of his inftigation and example, refourees of de-
fence and profperity are daily developed. New
fortifications are railed on all the points which the
enemy may threaten. The pnblic revenues in-
