The victims were permitted TO enter Paris

had two conferences with him, in which Nc

He was arefed. The barriers Of Paris were
coted for fix weeks, and It's walls guarded bv
10000 men. Whia Moreau was in irons, and
the tearch going on, the government took every

fix its Judgment. They communicated to the
legislative body, the trbunate and the armies a

was conducted with great moderation and de-

can breathe ientlment againf the government,

inmate their houfes, for which they had received
orders from the police. The theatres exhibited
initances of the fpirit of the people, which on
various occaionS was carried 20 far as to pre-
vent the representation of a piece which had
been written expressly to favor the views of the
government. The FER had been taken and il
does not form anypart of Bonaparte's character

clared emperor by the contributed authorities,
afumes the duties under the new arrangement,

their votes. Thefe will never be publi.Ied, be-

voted for the change. This will give you fome
idea of the interctt which is felt by the people in
favour of this great political farce.
In the mean time every body remained in
anxious expectation for the trial of MORGAN.
None dared to raife voice in his favour, ex-
cept brother, and his accomplished wife.
