right bank of the Rhine were infested by them. The descendants of the Houses of Bourbon, of Orleans, of Condo, fit ted dimly in the horizon. They had their following Their secret friends squatted in tho very shadow of the Tuil cries. AS for open war, they had had enough of that. Of secret intrignes and plots and crimes there was now no end.
 The conspiracy which exploded in the Rue St. Nieaise was only the beginning of plots and plotting. It Is in evidence that the agents of the British govern ment lent Q willing hand to the secret crimes that were to compass the de- \ struetion of Bonaparte. On his side there was corresponding vigilance. It was equivalent to death for any to lift the hand against him. His immediate subordinates were without exception loyal. But all the disappointed, hover ing at distance, soowled at his rising star.
 Among tho plots of the day that of Georges Cadoudal, loador of tho Chouans of Brittany, was conspicuous. From be- ing an insurgent ill tho Royalist revolt of 1799, ho had fled to England, where the count of Artois, afterwards Charles K, received him with open arms. In 1908 he made his way secretly to Paris. There he oonspired with tho disgraced General Piohegru, Napuleon's old mas- ter in mathematics at Brienne, to de- stroy tho life of the First Consul. The plot was discovered Pichegru was seiz- ed, imprisoned, and on the 5th of April, 1894, was stranglod in his cell. Cadou- dal, trying to escape killed two police- mon, but was overmastered, condemned, and on the 25th of June, 1894, was gull lotined. General Moreau, the hero ot Hohenlinden, who had become Royal ist, was accused of eomplicity i'll these schemes Convicted of having knowl- edge of the plot of Cadoudal, he was condemned to two years Imprisonment; but Napoleon eommuted the sentence into exile, and Moreau chose the United States as his refuge. After eight years, he entered the service of Russia, and in 1913 was mortally wounded at the bat tie of Dresden
 The result of these attempts was far reaching. At this time the living repre- sentatives of the demolished monarchy were the count of Provence, afterwards Louis XVIII, who was at Warsaw; the count of Artois, in London; the young Orleans Philippe, afterwards the Citi- zen King, in Switzerlandi and the duke of Enghien, descendant of the great Condo, at Ettenheim, in Baden. All of these were more or less implicated In the plots against Napoleon. The duke of Enghien in particular was believed to be Q fellow oonspirator of Piohegru and Cadoudal The latter had been secretly visited in Paris by a mysterious person age whom the passion of the hour de- olared to be the Condo prince. Notwlth- standing tho fact that Baden was neu- tral territory body of French soldiers was sent secretly to Ettenheim; the cha teau was surrounded, and on the night of the lhth of March, 1904, the duo d'Enghien was seized in bed and hur- ried away to tho fortress of Nlneennes.
 A court-martial under General Hal- lin was immediately ordered, and With out witnesses or othor legal proof, the Duke was condemned to bo shot on the morning of the slst of March, just before tho day. ho was lod into the ditch outside tho wall. and there. by u ghastly light of torches. was shot dead His body was thrown, wlthoat removal of the bloody garments, into pit that had been dlgeca the laB ittorc! me Consulate, as we'll as the Revolution
