formed to surrender Brest to the English.
An old officer, named, Rlvoire, who is now
awaiting in the castle of Louides, the ex-
cution of sentence of transportation, has
written long letter to the Grand Judge,
in which he confesses that he and Georges
| were to have seized Brest some time ago,
and that he should have succeeded but for
the delay and INDIGESTION of the enigrant
Princes council. This letter waspublish-
ed in the Alexandria Advertiser some
few days since.] He acknowledges also
that he knew of the plot of the Sd Nivose
or the Internal machine. The motives of
this mans confession are obvious. He
wishes to get his sentence RENTED, which
Ronaparte has no doubt promised him, if
he will acc use Georges, against whom, as
well as|Moreau therefsIins uaicientevidence
to prove the charges brought against them.
This Rivoire cants about the love of his
country and Of justice but what fate lis
he preparing for those who tried him, and
for such of his countrymen as may be tried
in future for political offences! He ac-
knowledges that his judge who acquit-
ted him oughtsto have found him guilty,
thus making them objects of suspicion and
distrust to the first consul. The. French
government mean Rivoire' letter 20 doubt
as a hint TO other Judges not to .b.too ready
to prone unce a verdlctxef acqulttal.

having been printed and posted up imme-
dlately.''

the possibility of hisshaving fair trial, he
adds that the arrest which have taken place
