The character Of the Mayor OF Bor-
d:anx Is a MATTER of some interest. lie
Is man of most studious and cautious
temper, who never would have ssatur-
ed on such stop, as he says himself,
had he not been pretty sure OF ,be con-
sequences. From letter OF his. dated
il February. and addressed to mis- bro
fier In London, we learn that previous
10 this solemn demonstration OF his pr,n-
.iples, he scent two months in Paris,
where he consulted ct course, with the
principle leading men in France From
ether sources, we learn, that the scheme
Is common TO all the members OF the
Legislative Assembly, so arrogan.ly and
Indignantly dismissed BY Bonaparte IN
the latter end OF December Mr. Lame,
ihs celebrated advocate Of Bordeaux,
was it will be recollected, the organ OF
the committee. who on that occasion
presumed to ask the tyrant for peace
civil liberty.
Mr.. Lame, NJ. Cashier Deseze. also
lawyer, and brother to the gentleman
who defended Louis XVI. are, with Mr.
Lynch, considered as the principal act
ing men for Bordeaux in this business.
To them we are TO add another gentle
nan of the same town, now in Paris, &
whom for that reason, we do not think
proper to name; and TO crown the whole,
every information we have received, and
i, is pretty correct, induces US TO believe
that even Talleyrand himself has lent
his assistance to the overthrow OF the
tyrsnt. As we state before, the scheme
extends over all France; but ci'cum-
stances isu.t, Of course, determine the
epoch Of tia, manifestation of the gene
ral Will. The impatient loyalty Of La
r Vendee seems, however, to have broken
much earlier through these prudent re-
strain,s; and in consequence, NJ La.
roche Jacquelin, brother to the famous
chief Of thst rame, and Who ha, married
the widow Of the no less celebrated chief
Count I.escvre, was ordered, 2 months
ago, to be arrested by Bonaparte. He,
however, escaped, and found an asylum
IN Bordeaux. where he was hid until the
entrance of the British troops enabled
1oyalt, to rear its head.
