You have seen my credentials; you know that I am a man to be trusted: what more do you need ?" "For myself nothing; but my friends are more scrupulous.

I have sounded, as I promised, the heads of the old Jacobin party, and they are favourable.

This upstart soldier, who has suddenly seized in his iron grasp all the fruits of the Revolution, is as hateful to them as to you.
But que voulez vous, mon cher?
men are men! It is one thing to destroy Bonaparte; it is another thing to restore the Bourbons.

How can the Jacobin chiefs depend on your assurance, or my own, that the Bourbons will forget the old offences and reward the new service?
You apprise me--so do your credentials--that a prince of the blood is engaged in this enterprise, that he will appear at the proper season.

Put me in direct communication with this representative of the Bourbons, and I promise in return, if his assurances are satisfactory, that you shall have an emeute, to be felt from Paris to Marseilles.
