in delivering his opinion, which had been
exhibited by the Trbunes who had 500.

that he referred those who wished TO put

1t IS but natural no doubt, that amidst
the changes and chances of our present

rest and murder of The duke of D'Enghien,
which excited such general Indignation,

IN the evening, that the rumor of the

next day courier from The King of Swe-

OF this auocious crime. 1t is now said.

that the cause of Louis XVIII. will here.
