FRANCE.

PARIS, DECEMBER 37.

44 An invilible hand, more powerful and more
fore than that of svickedners. has mirgaided its rage,
and the Republic is laved at the fame time with
yourfelf.
66. A theafand thanks are therefore due to that
tutelary Providence that prefides over the fate of
empires ! Citizen Conful, your foul rifes foperior I
to all fears, to all fpecies of terror, to all the den-
ge7o:ehpat more peculiarly hang over the lives of
than over the lives of ordinary men. But
wickednefi redouldes its fury, when it beholds its
detailed and defeated. Let therefore the
of your Councils alto redouble its altivity
and vigilance I Let police laws, more fevere and
more coercive, not "wait for criminals to pnnifh,
but prevent in order to difconcert them !—You
watch day and night over the fafety of the empire :
but France, that has entrufted her delliny to your
hands, impofes on you the utmoft attention to the
fecnrity of your perfon."
When the agents of the Police went to Ta LOT'S
to arreft him, -he contrived to lock them in his
apartment, and efcaped ; but in going into the
Preet, he was purfued by fpies and by perfons
who were palling. He defended himfclf for fume
time, but was at length thrown down in the mud
and taken. The fine day, about four in the even-
ing, a foldier, who was carrying government or-
ders, in entering the Rue St. Honore, was flopped
by one of the faftion of confpirators, and ftruck
with a flick. A dragoon immediately (buck the
man, who fell. As he was filling, he let a dagger
efcape from one of his pockets. When he was
reized, he declared, with a fort of triumph, that
he was not a robber, but fomething elk.
It is akertained, that the number of killed by
the explofion of the 24th up to the prefent day
amounts to (even, and that of the wounded to
twenty-eight.
Addreffes of congratulation to the Chief Con-
ful, on his late efcapc, are d..ily griving from the
departments, and (rime are brought by extraordi-
nary couriers. They breathe the molt fervent fpi. '
lit of attachment to the Government, and callior
an exemplary punifhment nn the guilty.
Barr°, formerly Secraary to laws, is fail
to have been arrcßed.

•

The public mind is connantly occupied with the
event that has taken place, and every one is eager
to have the miatitell details. Twenty perfons have
been arrnied ; it is fufpeeted that the wretches,
charged with the execution of the plot, were at
leail tw,lve or fifteen ; in fad they mull have been
placed :et different alliances, from the gate of the
Chief Conful to the rue St. Nicaife, and mull have
been mutually announced, either by word of
mou:li or fbme other tign, the moment in which
the C( ate] got into his carriage, in order that the
n:.;:cli might be lighted at a proper time. The bar- I
rel (,f powder was hooped with Iron, and contain-
ed bails and grape fhot ; it Was placed on a little
chaile drawn by a miferable honk, and flopped
the avenue up. The two hone guards who pre-
ceded the Chief Concurs each, obliged the perfon
• to turn' the chaife afide •' when they pa&d, he
placed it again acrofs the area ; the guards who
followed the carriage made the chaife turn afide ;
here then were two different movements. •

Addreifes continue to pour in on the Chief Con-
ful, congratulating him on his late providential
efcape.
That from the Mayors of the twelve circles of,
Paris, and the Council-General pf the department
of the Seine obferved to BONAPILTZ that he might
have fren in every eye and gathered from
every mouth the fentimeuts of indignation againft
'kis enemies, and of efleem and areaion towards
his perfon, with which every heart was animated.
a Of this, fay! the Addrcfs, the citizens of Paris
are fully fenfible ; and I am proud to be, on the
prefent occafion, the interpreter of their gratitude.
They know that at the very inftant when the crime
was perpetrated. your attention was not dire&ed
towards yourfelf, but wholly and folely taken up
with their fecuriry. They have greedily treafured
up Mole expreftions of benevolence which then
*leaped you : It is not to me you Amid ; go,
roe gitieqy. to the sllance of tbofe unfortunate prfont
whom the infernal machine may have wounded."
The. Chief Conful converted a long time with
, the citizens who prefented the address. Among
many things which he raid to the Mayors of Paris,
the following were remarked :
a I feel deeply affeeted with the proofsof affec-
tionate attachment which I have received from the
people on the prefent occafinn. lam not wholly
undeferving of them, as the foie cbjeet of my willies
and adieus is to encruie their profpenty and
glory. As long as that handful of affaffins con-
fined their dined attacks on me, Heft their punifh-
meat to the laws and ordinary tribunals ; but fince
they have attempted by a crime unexampled in
hi4tory, to endanger a part of the population of
this city, their puniftiment dull be both prompt
and exemplary. Afure in my name the people of
Paris, that this execrable fet of wretches who have
profaned libel ri• by the crimes which they have
committed in her nstbie, than henceforward be
reduced to aperfeft inability of doing any mitchief.
Let the citizens.labour under no uneafinefs : I !hall
never forget that it is my firft duty to watch over
the fafety and the proteftion of the .people again([
all attempts, of their enemies, whether domeflic or
external.

When the Mayors, &c. withdrew, the Crust.
Comm. proceeded to attend the parade in one of
the fquares of the Palace. He was received with
tutiverfal enthaftafm by an iminenfe crond, which
extended from the gates of the palace to the fireet
&h&. They manifeited, in the Ilrongeit manner,
their adherence to the fentiments which their Ma-
gillrates had jolt expreffed ; and their acclamations
were only interrupted by the band of the confular
Guard, that repeatedly played the tune—ou peet-ost

The congratulatory fpeech of the PiEfident of
the Tribunal of caFfation and appeal, contains the
following pafrage, which may be found curious
and interefling.
