When the measure of Charles y. and company reused
the inhabitants OF Paris, and public confidence placed me
at the head Of the patriotic movement, my first thought,

itself with this determination.
The first condition of republican principles being TO re-

pure american Constitution, in my opinion the best of

OF the majority, TO risk civil troubles, and to kindle foreign
war. Ii | was wrong, my mistake was a, least al yari.

even surprising me to have possessed vulgar ambition, il
