of France at Geneva. which is the country or the
world dllegibe). Make her friends understand
that she must stay forty leagues away. All the
clements of dscord must be removed far from

Among The thousand and things that fall
into my hands from Mime. de Stael, you Will see
by this letter what good French woman we
have in her If it had been Prince Louis, our
deadly enemy and cause of the loss of his mon
rrchy, she would have done everything to see
Lin. My intention is that she shall never go out
of Geneva. Let her go. if she wishes, with the
friends Of Prince Louis. To-day paying her
court to the great. tomorrow n patriot and
democrat; in truth, one cannot hold in his in
dignation at seeing all the forms taken by this
and an ugly she is, to boot. do
not tell you the projects already made by this
ridiculous coterie in case they had the happi-
ness to have killed. as a Minister of Police
ought to know such things Everything which
comes to me from that wretched woman merits
that I should leave her in her Coppet, with her
Genevans and her house of Necker
