Joseph de Boligny, received orders from the Porte to de
part within a fortnight. The following note was on this
occasion sent to him, and copies of it wore communicated
to all the other foreign miniflers: .
Though it is the maxim, of every state not to fuffer its
enemitfs to temain within its territories, yet I (the-grand
.figulor) confided in the treaties, of amity which yourfove
reigh had phjilufed not 16 . interrupt by any public afticri.
I have therefore not only -differed you to remain within
my dominions, but even to reside in. the heart of my me
tropolis, in the capacity of a public representative. But
you coilld not keep within bounds; you have not merely
obeyed the commands of your king, but you have gone
beyond them, by manifefting too much in favor of the en
emies of my dates. Though I was acquainted with your
behavior and your sentiments, yet I thought my modera
tion would serve you as. an example; but, on the contrary,
you have only been a spy of the French, and found fault
with every thing that was done on our part against the ge
neral disturbers of public tranquillity. This was net ajl;
you have not only given inflruftions to your agents to aft
as spies, but also to supply the enemy of the. whole world
with provisions from our dominions. I cannot therefore
fuffer you to remain any longer in my capital and in my
dominions, for which reason I have ordered my sublime
porte to acquaint you, by this present decree, to quit my
capital within a fortnight, and to communicate it to your
sovereign, that he may become acquainted with your be
havior. ‘ * .
Vienna, November 27, Our court gazette dates that
no official accounts have yet been received at Conflantin

each other, and that serious events were expefted to fake

Letter from Lan fat, deputy to the legijlative body,
from the department cf the Bajfes Pyrennes, to bis
conjiituents, in defence of the revolution of the 10 tb
November.
My fellow citizens,
A great revolution has just taken place. I did not par
ticipate in bringing it about, but I have embraced it with
my whole foul, and have seconded it at my. own risk and
danger. I owe you a fucciikft account of my motives. The
republic was every where falling to ruin, both abroad and
at home, in the government and in the adminiflration. I
perceived that it was in every refpedl deficient in harmony
and connexion, and that its difiblution was fall approach
ing. Having arrived at the legillative body, with the de
sign of religiously defending the depot of the conflitution,
and cf endeavoring to make it. support itfielf by its oven
energy, and„forreCt those errors which had crept into it,.
I was soon sensible of the vanity of my expectations. The
councils were hurried away by a retrograde motion; it was
necessary to flop and change their direction. I have not
to reproach niyfelf for adopting for a moment the advice
they followed, and the expedients they employed.. The
1 Sth Frudl’idor annihilated the legislative power; from the
18th Frudtidor sprang the aid Floreal, which annihilated
the fovereigoty of the people; and from the 18th Fruttidor
and the a;d Floreal proceeded the 30th Prairial, which in
its turn annihilated the executive power. Could there,
then, remain a republican conflitution? Difionance and
diicord every where prevailed; the lifts were peqietually
open, where the ambitious, the intriguing, the lecreted
dilapidators, and public plunderers, disputed fbr thefpoils
of the citizens and the country; lids where the more.dt
praved and audacious in guilt the combatants are the more
certain they are of fuccefsand impunity. In what retreat
was there any‘Hope of political, civil, or even domestic li
berty? What liability had we? Was it in the government?
■ Was it in the daws? Was it in our inftitntions? Was it
-even.inipropertyi. .. . ... . .
Tell me of one that was not the oppressor, that was.not
the oppressed; tell me where it was the vanquished party
did not conspire againd their vanquishers; or where a re
volution was not perpetually preparing, forming, or ac
complifliing, Oi aH lides danger surrounded and pressed !
upon us. In the hieau time civil wir pervaded the wed;
and while our apiiies itriumphed, as it were, by indimd
and duty, they fullered hunger and nakedness; all the
sources of the pubjic treafiire were! diverted, and for
the mod part dedroyed; we had not, even wherewithal
to pay, raise, or equip.pur battalions. The evils which,
our victories had lufpended.wete gaining ground rapidly,
.and were beginning.to prey upon the heart. What could
we oppose? We ; pqffed the days, decades, and months, in
puerile difputis ancLdiameful druggies of party. The ac
tion of the government was paralyied, and impious wishes
were secretly formed, and openly expressed, that the
country fliould become the vidlim of its misfortunes. But
why fhonld I speak to you of this deplorable situation?
Where is the man so indifferent or so dupid as not to have
beheld'them? This situation could not lad. Os this truth
every one was sensible. Men long bred among troubles
and factions aspired to save us; but how? Whatever they
might have pretended,, my fellow citizens, and whatever
might have been their general intentions, the day on which
they would hav e aminute’s sway would, from their habits
and the nature of .things, have been the firft day of anew
convention. TKe convention declared the republic;
dazzled as it was by its Roberlpierre, its Araar, its Carri
er, and its Gollot; its tribunals and its thousands and
thousands of revolutionary committees; its popular af-
Temblies, its arrdlatiorts and guillotines; its injuflice and’
perfeentions, crimes and horrors; nevertheless, glory to
the convention, which declared the republic, and preserved
’ France; But r.ow, with the Taaft reflexion, it is impofßble
not to know that a convention, after having produced the
fame or greater calamities, would drain the blood of the
republic, and deliver exhauded France the prey’ of kings.
It is necessary, my fellow citizens, to choose between a
convention, which would be necessarily followed by these
consequences, and what w{ have done upon the'beft founded ‘
hopes of a conflitution essentially republican, and essenti
ally permanent. My hopes of its advantages are moft
flatter.ng. The hatred of tyranny,'which for ten years
. has spread its roots into the bofoni of the French nation;
the lights with which civilization and feience have illum
ined the whole world; the principles, the virtue, the glo
ry, and the examples, of those men whom civcumftances
have forced us to arm with an immense power; the repub
licanifin, the morality, and the devotion, cf those whom
the national reprefentatiun have aflbeiated in this grand
enterprifa; and finally, the eternal destinies of human li
berty; all convince me my expeftations are well founded.
If my confidence is soon juftified the biellings and b;:ppi
nefs of republican. France will absolve me in your eyes for
the part I have taken. If, on the contrary, events fhonld
deceive my intentions and my’ efforts, I transmit to you
’beforehand, my fellow citizens, my aft of accusation, and.
the decree of my disgrace and death.
