FRANCE.

PARIS. JANUARY go—FROM THE MONITEUR.
The letter which is about to be read has been
fent to the Chief of the Secret Police. We have
thought that coming from a man better able than
any other to know the labyrinth and the atrocity
of the plots of the former Englifh Miniftry, becaufe
he participated in every intrigue, this letter will
be of fome intcreft to the people of France. Thofe
atrocious men, who threw into Qiiiberon the
flower of oursold officers of Marine, to have them
facrificed, have not ceafed to have in their pay fe-
era affaffins, always ready to ftrike in the dark,
like the affallins of the old Man of the Mountain,
in the time of St. Louis ; it was they who recom-
mended and paid the 3d Nivofe ; and GEORGES,
Dutuat 1., the old Bifhop of Arras, who were the
principal inftruments of that abominable plot, en-
joy public protection and a large penfion in Eng.
laud. They have armed the French again(' the
French, under divers pretexts ; but having for ob.
jed the annihilation of us. They have wiffied to
realife what they had engraved upon their charts,
to efface the beautiful France from the table of Eu-
ropean powers.
Inhabitants of La Vendee, the Morbihan, the
Cotes du Nord, the Manche, the Orne, it is above
all to you that this is addre(Fed. The levy of the
Confcripts was completed among you with great
eagernefs. When your Prefeas gave an account
of this to the FirftConful—" It is the belt proof, he
Paid, that they could give me, that they are grate-
ful for all I have done for them, and their fincere
&fire is to repair their own evils more than thofe
of others, becaufe they are the part of the family
that have fuffered the moft." Mote than any
other part alfo, you have injuries to puniffi, and
if ever thefe wretches excite war upon the Con-
tinent, you will revenge your miferies and your
difallers.
There men, who have paid for the commit-
fion of all crimes, are devoted to the contempt of
Europe.—Call a look at the ifland of Jerky. It
is fill filled with brigands, who quit it only to
difturb your tranquillity. That ---Geotoss
fold you to them, and when the Chiefs, who at
different times have been at the bead of the civil
war, but who always preferved a French charac-
ter, fuch as CH•TILLON, DAUTICI4•OIP, &c. fhall
have written all the atrocities which are in their
knowledge, pofterity will place the Geesivict Ls,
the Weauti AM in the rank of perfons who have
dilhonoured modern Europe. But happily thofe
times are paffed. It is in vain that thefe terrible
men would fcatter gold—they can no longer di-
vide us. The French of all parties, of all opinions,
rallied and united, will Main the glory andgran.
deur of their country—for all remain now per.
loaded, that it was wilted to effeft the deftruCtion
and misery of France. But if, when divided, we
have always rendered their plans nfelefs ; if we
have extended our limits to the boundaries of an-
cient Gaul ; if we have had the power to extend
them further ; if we have flopped,st is becaufe we
willed it.—Who would dare to attack us! ! ! So
long as we (hall remain untied, fo long as we (hall
not lend a guilty ear to the infurredions of hired
and bribed men, they will rage with jealoufy in
beholding us.
They may weave tome plots ; they may try
poifon and the poinard, the arms of cowards.—
They keep always in referve and load with bene-
fits the agents who have ferved them in their cri-
minal attempts--it is becaufe they reckon upon
making ore of them again. When Rates have no
refitirce hut in crimes; when the chiefs and lead-
ers of a mown, who as John the Firft raid," ought
ever to be the refuge of honour and public mora-
lity." live and confide only in fncb hopes, then a
nation is very ill governed; the firft diva of crime
is Ow ay 0 fall upon him who meditates it.

The following is the Letter alluded tat
TO Tilt enter or Tug lOLICS 07 TIC OlAsu JUDGE.
A decree ideated in the nth No. of the Maskeur, and co-
pied by the other Journals, &ems to place upon the fame foot-
ing Dandre and Doth&
An uninterrupted correfpondenee for five years with Dandre
has given me every opportunity of perfectly knowing his opinion
and his fentiments; he never once entertained thole of that
vile and ferocious animal with whom his name has been
coupled; and he has in prelim attired me,of the fovereign con-
tempt which he has uniformly expected in his letters for that
infamous intriguer, who looks to thole only who are able and
willing to purchafr his crimes.
Dandre left France in 1792, and went to England on com-
mercial bufinefs. He was furniibed with a paffport from the
Department of Paris but war being Wordy after declared,
Dandre kit England, and retired to Switzerland, where he did
not remain long before he was employed by the Count de Lille.
Some time after the 18th Frudidor he returned to France,
where he direded the operations of the royal agency. At that
period I was appointed feeretary of that agency, and from that
moment I was fo intimately eonneffied with Dandre, and lam
enabled to repel all the charges brought againft him; that I may
rarely fay, that, before and alter that famous day, he never be-
trayed any opinion that looked like an inftigation to aKaffinate
ahy one, not even the Diredtors of that day. In all his letters
he advi(ed me fluctioufly to avoid all connection with the agents
of England, unlefs with a view to difeoncert their plots, all of
which bad for their objedt to foment a civil war in France.
Attached to his country, and to the Prince whofe agent he
was, Dandre held DutiteU in fupreme contempt; for Dutheil.
he knew, under pretence of (crying the Count d'Artois, fold
both France and the Prince, whole fervant he called himfelf,
to that perfidious Government who have been the authors of
all the calamities that have befallen us.
It is now two years and • half liner the Englitta Miniftry or-
dered their agent Wickham to prevail upon Dandre to go to
Landon, to take upon him the principal fuperintendance of
I what belonged to France, and even of the [chimes relative to
the weft of France. He was even furnifhed with an authority
from the King to accede to that propofal.
Notwithftanding the tempting oilers that were held out to
him, Dandre declined the miffion, and did not conceal from the
Engliffi agent that the caufe of his refufal was his knowledge of
the machiavelifen of the Englilla Government, and the dread of
being confounded with Dutheil and the other atociates, who up
to that period had enjoyed the confidence of the Englilh Mini-
iter --. Wickham pronalfed him, that on his arrival
Dutheil Ihould be difmiffed, but Dandre Rill continued refolv-
ed to perfift in his refufal.
I declare, in the name of every thing leered, that what I have
the honour of telling you is ftrialy true; and the frank
felf
nefs of
my anfwers to the queltions which perfonally regarded my
mull be a pledge to you of the veracity of my prefent declaration.
May I be permitted to hope, Sir, that you will have the good-
nets to prefent it to his Excellency the Grand Judge. I venture
to expel, that after having perufed it, you will no longer con-
, found the head of an ordinary oppofition with the chief of •
; band of the vileft affaillns,
I have the honour to be, with refpedt. Sir,
Your very humble and obedient fervant,
(Signed) BellSONNltit.
