In our supplement No XI. we ment;-
oned the Investigations made by the Po-
lice OF Paris, relative to the new attempts
to distu.b the public tranquility, and
which have led to important discoveries,
the most interesting faois of which are as
! follows:
In the month of Fru9idor, tSeptem-
ber) Georges coming from England, de
oarked near lreport Nth some Brigands,
his adheren,s : he had been preceded by
General Laiollais. In the month of Ven
demaire, many Of these Brigands were ar.
rested : one amongst them was Ouereile.
"ho wax convicted, and was TO have been
shot, when he promised To make import
ant discoveries. He gave information of
''rorgcs being in Paris, Of the points of
passages, and the places of concealment

and that at the time he pointed ont. a
third debarkaiion was To take place. Till
within few days past, search was only

they had successfully discovered, but
whom they had not been able 10 take. A
new Incident led To further discoveries
The Monifeur published paragraph Civ
ing an account Of the conviction of The
two Brigands, and ofthe discoveries made
by Querelle. This official publication pro,
dnced an anOny NOUS letter, written to The
Consul LIE Brun, informing him that in
he country OF Loire, lived a ci-devanl
gentleman, named Bcuyet L'Ogies, 4 man
Of little reputation, who for some time
past had received at his house many sus-
picious persons, who were absolutely I'M
known in that country; the letter gave
the address Of Mrs. Bouvet, who lived at
Paris this letter bore an appearance which
gave IL weight, and entitled it TO conf
dencc. The house of this woman was
searched, and viii. iile Police officers
we're coiieteing papers. and other effects
OF consequence, Bouvet himself arrived,
who was Immediately arrested.
Scarcely had they taken him when a
woman entered with note, which invit-
cd BouYet 10 \ secret meeting they i'm
mediate'y went to the place mentioned
and there took the chiefs Of the CHouQng.
81. Vcfor, Morcl, and others. BY means
OF these arrests, they discovered that a
woman called Dunan, who KEEP. an ale
house in the street du Bacq, received in
her house SUSPICIOUS men.-In conse-
quence the Police officers vent TO her
house; she was frightened and drew off
one of her gloves, which the officers Sci
zcd IN this glove was found another note,
Tin which was mentioned auoiher secret
meetlng,) with small piece Of English
money this woman was taken without
the least noise, and another put in her
place. The next day man came to the
house and presented piece Of English
money, and at the sigh, of the piece found
in the glove betrayed herself. The off.
GERS, in their haste to secure this chief,
he most redouiable among the Chouans,
neglected those who came after. Till
now no other leader Of this conspiracy
vas known, than Georges, but il vas
known that Georges was dire ted by
man tor whom he testified the greatest
respect. The name of Ibis man vas I'M.
known; Bcuet declared it 10 be Pichc.

reau' and who had arrived the FIRST of the
month, with the second dcbarkaliou, al.
lnded 70 above. was on the 9Th Feb.
hat THIS information was gwen. From
that time 'he objeG Of research was,
whether al,er the facts collected by the

From all the information and facts col.

by means Of LsloIlsis, and ar Able ia.
y'd that they bad signed an agreement

With the execution of which Bouvet was
