They alone support tne perfidious go\ eminent; strike it down, and let its down, fall inform the world, that, it the French people are the benefactors of Europe* they are also the avengers of the rights of nations.” L At the end of this speech the President and all the Mem bers of the Directory gave him the fraternal embrace; and after the ceremony was over the Directors, Gens.
