Against the French Government.
In yesterday's sitting of the council of five hundred, a pamphlet was denounced written by the ci-devant count de Barruel Beauvert, which contains a parallel between the new and ancient regimen, and the actual expense of the directory, and that of the ancient court. It leads to this necessary conclusion, that the royal despotism was infinitely better than that of the republic. A motion was made to prosecute the author of this pamphlet, which was adopted. This subject brought out a discussion, in the course of which, Bourdon de l'Oise complained of the licentiousness with which certain representatives of the people, in their periodical publications, vomited forth the most infamous calumnies against their colleagues. Several voices exclaimed, "It is Louvet! It is Poultrie." Bourdon proposed that no deputies should be allowed to publish Journals.
Rochier likewise spoke with much warmth against those atrocious Terrorists who notwithstanding their crimes, are still protected and therefore resume all their former audaciousness and over-run the suburbs, preaching up the decemviral code of 1793. They demand revenge for the death of the Brigands of Grenelle. They repeat the acts of accusation drawn up by Louvet against the new third.
