THE CONSPIRACY.
Mr.. brakes Correspondence.


No. S, of the ENQUIRER, mentioned the Re-
port which the Grand Judge had made to the
Firft Conful, of iecret correspondence of
Mr.. Drake, Britannia envoy at Munich, with
MIR. l.. u. or Mehee DeIsa Touche, his agent
in France. This report was accompanied
by certain papers, among which were ten let
tiers, laid to have been written by MIR. Drake.
The reader will perhaps recollect, that tbefe
letters were attributed to the Britifh miniter
from the reafon contained in the following
OBSERVATIONS zvbicb p,reede tie ten letters
eft6e Engli6 Minifer, III TIE collection Of pa
Pers annexed to TIE Report Of tie Grand
JuIge."
=" The Agent Mr. D. L. having been fent from
England to Bavaria, to receive the initruttions
of MIR. Drake, before commencing his operati-
ons, informs him by billet of his arrival at
Munich. He has received an anfwer to it,
which IT has been thought proper to print, be-
caufe it is entirely written by MIR. Drake, and
fgned by him, and all the correspondence which
has been read is by the fame hand.
Sir am very happy to learn your arrival
in this city, and fhall be charmed to fee you as
foon as convenient. You will have the good
neis 10 ftay and dine with me if the hour of four
fuits you.
V. T. OBJ. FRANCIS DRAKE.
:" The Agent arrived AT Paris, very foon per-
ceiyed that he had nothing TO do in the end of
his million he did not difcontinue, however,
to give letters and bulletins to MIR. Drake for
his money but he immediafely introduced tk.
police TO a knowledge oftbi5 eorrelpondenee."
The following extracts are givenfrom letters at
tributed to MIR. Drake. They clearly define
the Object which is fad to have been medita-
ted by the Engliih minifter to form General
plan for overietting the ufurpation of Bona
Parte; to penetrate into all his fecret mea-
fures, by corupting the officers of the depart
ments, and to acquire partifans in the army,
for the Accomplishment of thisrevolution: and
to rcftore the royal family upon the ruins of
Bonaparte's administration.
The impartial reader will paufe at the con-
liberation of the following queftions Is
this correspondence one of the fabrcations of
Bonaparte and his mnifters, or did it really
originate with Mr.. Drake Ifthis plan was
really inedirated by Mr.. Drake, did he purfue
it from his own fuggeftions and at his own
rifk or did he receive the countenance and
afiitance of his Court : If he was fet on by
the Englifh government, did the plan re-
ceive the appreciation of the king and all the
minifters of his cabinet, or was it confined to
the bofoms of Hawkeibury and Addington |?
Some light will probably be fhed on thefe en-
qr'irioS, by the next arrivals from England.
Mr.. Fox's pronlifed motion will probably
bring thisreputed confpiiacy before the Houte
ofCommons, and develope more compleat
view of the fubject.
