tion was decided If afteitithe inh
Fruftidor Moreau enojneed Pichegru,
it was only to have turned afide, fufpi
cion that would have ruined himfeif with-
' out faving his friend. . , ?
"In a' proclamation of the 23d to .the U;
rny of the Rhine , and Mofelle heexprcf-
fes hirafelf in thefe words : ,; '. . .
" It is but t true that Pichegru has
. betrayed the confidence of all France. I
informed one ot the members of the di-
rectory on vthe 17th inftant, that -a corref
pondnce with Conde and other agents
6f the pretender' had fallen into my hands
which leave no doubt of his treafon."
In his letter to the directory, dated
27th Vendemaire, year .7, when fpcak
ing of Pichegru',,1 he fays : We were
friends as long as we defend vl the fame
vcaufc, biit we ceafed to be fo, when I '
'had proofs that he Was the enemy of the
Trench republic."
, 'He ought then only to have poflcfled
fentiments ot horror towards Pichegru,
as Pichegru on bis fide thould only nave
lookevlon him with hatred. From that mo
ment an iHfurmountable banier ought to
have feparaied them forever. If it be pro
ved, however, in fpiteof thefe truths that
their reconciliation was fealed, that thefe
two men had ccrtiiq go-betweens to
communicate from London to Paris ami
from Paris to London'; arid that them
felvcs held conference together at Paris,
ye hSay a'Xcrt without hefitatjo.n. 'that the
'cxtraofdiitiuy czxH'tfiie, this 'violation of
the lawsot honor cotrld 'only originate in
ja lacriligious compaft formed' btttvre
them in order" that? kcon piracy rmr;h,r
fucceed. 1 r re fi It able proofs exift of their
reconciliation, correfpontlcnce and con
ferences." ,f . 4. , ,
Lajollais declared cn the 251I1 Pluvoife,
that he knew by means of a common
. ftiend (the Abbe David) that Pichegru
and Moreau tor a long time divided, were
at length reconciled. t , Moreau proved hs
fincerjiy in' "hiving .ftobing .mote t6 tfo
with Pichegru,' when bctore, the 14.1b
Melfidor, year 10, in fpealng of htm, he
faid in a letter Befidcs. citizen, his li'u
a'ion affccls me verf much, and I Hull
" "always fcize with plcafure the oecafioo of
being tifeful to hih. , .He proved he would
have, nothing more to do with him. when
hcad.led: You have hinted to my,.fc
cretiry that I oppofed hit return: into
France, you may.be certain that that is
- fo inuih the more falfc, ftnee if govern
merit were to have caufed me to be in
formed that 1 wis the only obttacie to

io-;-.. ,
VVitb regard to the corrcfnondcnce he
tween Moreau and Pichctru, tiom Paris
to London and from Loudon to Pari, hy
nuam of a third neifon, it was proved by
the documents fcijfd when David was
arretted, and by thofe fcied at the arret!
of Moreau. It was clear .from them that
it vrsk'Dtf id who took upon himfelf the re
conciliation which was brought about ;
Oo lent to nehegru copies ot the letters
he received from Moreau, and without,
!ouLt of thofe which were intended for
him, h wcti (cut coj ies of his own Ut
ten to Morcaui that he fent to Moiea'.i
copies of tluifc letters which he received
from Pichcgiu. A letter from t'icbtgru
announces clearly that it waihc wfoln.t
off Oiviil tor Loiidwnand who fent nio
ey for the journey.' David was to have
become in repairing to London, the living
correfpoitdeni, as Lijollais was ajtcr.
wtrdt between Pichegru and Moreau.
There is only the one demnnflration to
fhle, it is the proofs that the cuoferen.
ces o' k place at Paris between Pichrgiu
indMoreiu.
