Arena informed the Council of several fads tending to
inculpate the Directors and the Minister of the Police, in
vhofe office he Lid they had been continually employed
daring four and twenty hours in burning papers; thele
papers, he added, would without dcubt have dilcovered
Vue arbitrary and illegal measures of tlie Diredorv, and
have thrown anew light on the conspiracy.
Francois, of Nantes, caused a decree to be palled, in
the name of the Connniffion of Eleven Members, to whom
the message of the Diredors had been referred, importing,
that every authority or individual who fliould make any
attempt against the liberty and security of the Legislative
Assembly, either in giving orders or in executing them,
Ihould be outlawed. This decree was fandioaed on the
lame day by the Council of Elders.
At 5 in the afternoon the Council of Five Hundred re
ceived a letter from each of the Diredors, Lareveillere and
Merlin, by which they gave in their relignation, in order
to avoid all dissension.
A lift often candidates was immediately drawn up, out
of which the Council of Elders eleded Roger Ducos and

bers of the Council of Five Hundred to be arretted, which
Barras opposed. They afterwards ordered Gen. Femers,
the Commandant of Paris, to arreft.2o Deputies, but he
rt fufed to obey the orders. Merlin, who has been called
in the Council of Five Hundred a second Duke of Alva,
is Paid to have committed the greatefl, enormities. The
numerous arbitrary arrests are now to cease, in conse

Awful Warxixc:.
SOME have said that the nation (Fiench) tliiifted for
bloed, (alluding to the affair of St.. Bartholomew,
where thirty thousand innocent people were msrffacrecNn
one .-ight on account of their difference of rebgion) and
God has-given them’ blood to drink. Others have attri
buted the revolution to patriots, who really .wilheff well to
mankind. Ttis may lie a faifl, and (1.11 the means em
ployed by the Almighty to difpenle his puniflunent upon
a guilty nation. And. the conlpiracy of the Atlieifts may
at the fame time be the principal means;, firft, by destroy
ing all religion'fcnd morals, and, lastly, exciting hatred to
all government and order, a spirit of cruelty and of equal
izing of property) or seizing upon the property of the rich.
Voltaire, D’Alembert, Frederick 11. King of Prussia,
with others, had conspired to overthrow all religious opi
nions. The doctrine titty propagated were, that the uni
versal cause—that God of tlie philosophers, of the Jews,
and of the Christians, is but a chimera and a phantom;
imagination daily creates fretti chimeras, which raile in
them that impulle of fear, nrd fnch if. tFr [ilrinrom rvTtTi
ty; that the plienomena of nature only provc the existence
of God to a few prepofleffed men; that the wonders of na
ture, so far from bespeaking God, are but the necessary ef
forts of matter prodigiously clivcrfified; that they, cannot
know whether a God really cxifts, or whether there really
exists the smallest difference between good and evil, or
vice and virtue; that every tiling that is called spirit or
foul has no more reality than the phantoms, the chimeras,
or fpbinxes; that all the ideas of just ice and injustice, of
virtue and vice, glory and infamy, are merely arbitrary,
and dependent on custom; that sublime virtue, enlightened
wisdom, are only the fruits of thole passions called folly;’
_apd that tlie fear of God, so far from being the beginning
of wifdorti, would be the beginning ot folly;—i/. short, that
matter is God, and the only God existing, and that death
is an eternal lleepl But their malice was particularly level
-1< -1 agahift the Christian religion, being the feugicn of
their country, no matter what fedl or denomination* \
Cruft the wretch was the maxim of Voltaire, and with |
which hr concluded all his letters to his disciples, meaning •
Crujb Chrif’s—cri/Jlt the Cbrijiian religion, and inthet
Course of tieir labors they frequently would exult that j
they had attained their ends.
Infidelity fj rrad throughout Europe, and in the year
1770, when Lo'yis XVI. attended the throne, he unknow
ingly chol’e for his Ministers fotne of thole infidel cont’pi
rators, except one, whom Voltaire calls a bigot, he being
the only man of any religion among them. Previous to
this time the King of Prullia had deeded from the confpi- ,1
racy, finding their aims were fume thing further than the
dcftrudlit'n of religion, vie. the ddlrudlion of thrones, and
warns the King of France of his danger, but to no purpose,
the unfufpedling Louis is eventually to be ruined. Another
conspiracy had been firmed in Germany, by Spartacus
Weittihaupt, called the Older of Illuminati, who built his
Orders of lllinninifm upon the Orders of Free MJbnry,
with which they prgvioullv could have no connexion. The.
following is the offence of his un fit rics: “ Liberty and
Equality an? the effenti.il rights that man in his original
and primitive jierfetflion received from nature; Property
struck the firft blow at Equality; Political Society, or
Governments, were the firft oppieffors cf Liberty ; tia
Supporters of Governments and Property are the reli
gions and civil Lies; tilt refine, to ie.Dilute man in his
primitive rights of equality and iiixu ty, we mutt begin by
deltroying all religion, all civil focietv, and finifti bv the
dcftruClion of all property.” About the year 1759, or per
haps prtf. ious, thtfe hellidi coiffpiracies were united, and
formed at Paris the Society of Propagafldifts and the So
ciety of the Jacobins. The Jacobins took their name from
the place of their meeting, being a monaftcry dedicated to
St. James, in Latin Jacobus. At the head of the Prc
pagandifts was Condorcet and the Abbe Sveyes, ar.d of
the Jacobins, Briffot, Roberlpicrre, aral others; their ob
jcFls were pretty much the lame, viz. to destroy all religi
on, morality, and governments, and equalize property*
How they have succeeded in France wc very well know,
and of their attempts in other countries (cfpecially 01,r
own) we are pretty welt informed. The providence of
God has been wonderfully displayed in the deaths of the
wretched conf’piratcrs: Except Frederic , not one we
have any evidence, of died calmly in his infidelity: and
Frederick, a lliort time before the death of Voltaire, wrote
to him to know for a certainty whuff r he had a foul; and
upon afturances that he had not fceined to.confide I iinfclf,
and afterwards died with conipottue* • ‘Phis Wis his only
hope, his wickedneis was too great f r rd'tdlion. Bat
Vcluire, the great Antichrist, (for neither Julian, orMcro,
or Diodtfian, or Maliomet, or any other being who has
appeared to mankind, lb well anlvers the defeription) died
in horrors, in the S'4th year of his age. Finding hb end
approaching, -he called upon a pricll of that Jehus he hud
(worn to crufli; he is in an agony lor bis past offences, and
wilbes for ablblution; Condorcet is confounded; d’Alembert,
Diderot, and others, approach him only to be accultd; the t
arch devil believes and trembles, he signs a written recan’ i.
at ion of his infidelity, and died a death worfc than am/
faeldr, tire worm that never die', gnawing upon him, * n l
hideous fire-ares terrifying bis iruagvuation, and aggiav. ( t;ng
his horrid late: 111 plaintive accents lie would cry ouV, Oh
Chritt, Oh Jcfus Chrifl, and then complain that he was a
bandonei! by God and i T ,ian. An unknown hand leaned to
trace ixfore his eyes, Grujh, do crv.Jh the wretch. Hi
chelitu flies fr.olll the bedlide*, declaring the fight too hor
rible. Mr. i roivchin, his physician, that tlie furi -s of
Orestes could give buj a.faint idea of those 6f Voltaire.
D’Alembert died five years afterwards, even ijy tho
confeffion of Condorcet, (who carefully watched him) a
prey to remorse.
Diderot, finding his end approaching, afkcd to fee a
clergyman. A Mr. 1 refac, Red tor of .St. Sulpice, waits
upon him, and Diderot was preparing a public recantation
of his errors, but being watched by the confpiratora is seiz
ed and carried into tlie countiy and dies.
• Condorcet, being obliged to fly from Paris, is arretted
as a vagabond in the country, imprisoned, and, through
forgetfuLnels of the gaoler, is (uttered to starve to death*
No one was present to -witness his last agonies.
Briftot ami his infidel companions, to the amount of zj
bout twenty, while on their way to the guillotine, l ad a
(hort conference (tor their time was lliort) upon the immor
tality of the foul, and i t was concluded the foul was im
mortal.
1 he horrid Roland and his wife, writers in the Ency
clopedia, periflied on the fcaffold, their deaths embittered
by recollection of their past lives.
Roberlpitrre, having-his jaws sadly broken by a ; pittol
when he was arretted, they were bound up with a cambric
handkerchief, and being pinioned, he lay about 24 hours
drinking his own Wood, to prevent fuffocatior; and at the
fcaffold, having thc handkerchief torn off by thc avaricious
and mercilcfs executioner, he fereethed with pain, and
flmddered with terrors at his fate. This I had from a
gentleman who was an eyewitness of his execution.
It would be ahnofl endless to recount the terrible deaths
of these wretches. ‘ J
