In the Journal des Debats of the 25, 90, 81,
and esth April, there is pubihed review of
work OF the fubie6t of the Englilh conipiracy
in France, which has been publiihed in Paris by
the famous Mehee On. D. L. or Mehee dc la
Touche.)
Mehee, who has publiihed the work alluded
&c, it will be remembered, was the perfon with
whom MIR. Drake correfponded: from the re-
view OH work it appears, the author has en-
tered in detail into an expedition of the whole
affairs of the confpiracy. and completely bro't
home to the Addington administration the char
ges of having, i'll time OF peace, received man
whole avowed object was to overturn the 60
vernment of France, of having betrayed the ex-
pences of this man whilf in London, and of ha-
wing iubfequently countenanced the plots form
ed for the detru6tion of Bonaparte.
The review Of Mehee's book is OF TOO great a
length to permit its publication, as it occupies
; feveral columns of the Paris newfpapers--we
ihall give an abftrad of the articles. Meheehad
been an ardent revolutioniit and republican,
from the commencement of the French revo|u-
ton, in the year Q79s-l799) he had been
fent from Paris TO the lie of Oleron, as a fuf-
peeted perfon, but was permitted to return to
his family after long detention. D5fhirous OF
proving his not having merited the iufpCions of
want of attachment to his country, Mehee re-
folved to proceed to England under the afum-
ed name of Muller, for the purpofe of difcover-
ing the actual intention of England towards
France, which countries were at the time enga-
| ged in the negotiation of the treaty of AmienS,
alledged to be violated in regard to Malta, with
the determination to communicate fuch intelli-
gence as he might collect to the government of
bis country.
Mehee left France and landed in the ifland of
Jerfey, from thence he proceeded TO Guernfey
Here he preiented himfelf to Gen. Doyle in
the character of a perfon difafeGted to the
French government and able to give Englandin-
formation OF great importance. Doyle receiv-
ed him very cordially, and undertookto forward
to the Englifh government nIemorialdrawn UP
by Mehee for the purpofe. In this memorial
the latter profered further information on his
arrival in London, and alIued Mr.. Arlington,
that ne was a member of Jacobn club, lie
members of which were determined 10 bring
Bonaparte down, and which only required pc
cuniary means in order to accomplish their pur-
pole. To allure Mr.. Addington of MS finceity,
Mehee added that ne could give ample infor-
nation and proof ofBonaparte's defigns on 1ur-
key and Egypt ; and concluded by Offering TO
lay before the Brittfh miniftry plan of placing
the count de Lille Called Louis XVIII on the
French throne. With this memorial, Mehee
fent number of papers purpofting to be ofgreat
moment and genuine, Having received no re-
ply from London, Mehee waited or Ger. Doyle
and Sir James Saumarez, and procured from
them money and a paliase to England at their
own expence. Arrived in London, he waited
on Mr.. Addlngton, and was received by Mr.
Hammond, to whom Mehce declared he had
fcheme which could not fill of dedroying Boz
parte, if 2iiftaIce from England were given.
MI. Hammond auiwsred, as there exifed peace
at that moment between the two countries, he
could not agree TO terms, but required Mehee's
address, afluring him that change Of circun-
frances would foon allow him to accept the of
Ser made. Accordingly, ihorly after this inter
view another took place, and Mehee was taken
into favor by the Pretender and other French
princes, and actually received monthly falary
from the Britiih miniftry.
