As soon as the insurrection should have broken out and succeeded, the constitution was to have been altered immediately and made republican. Among the Conspirators were two members of the privy Council, five Senators and a great proportion of the kings guards. There was a merchant among them, who was the treasurer of Conspiracy, a million of Zechnies (Dutch) and several millions of assignats were found in his possession. Since this discovery the enemy is observed to be more on the defensive than on the offensive, and is closely observed by the two Generals Devins and Colli, the king has taken instead of his guards, imperial Uhlans and staff Dragoons.
