in irons and put in the pillory, Frimaire 9, year III., will come to
the surface; he is encountered under the Directory as introducer
of ambassadors.-Concerning one of the envoys of the Directory to
Switzerland, here is a note b~ Mallet-Dupan. ("Anecdotes manuscrites,"
October, 1797.) "The Directonal ambassador, who has come to exact from
the Swiss the expulsion of the body-guard, is named Mingot, of Belfort,
a relation of Reubell's, former body-guard to M. le Comte d'Artois.-He
came to Zurich with a prostitute, a seamstress of Zurich, established in
Berne. He was living with her at the expense of the Zurich government.
Having invited the family of this creature, that is to say a common
horse-driver with his wife and some other persons, to dinner, they drank
and committed such excesses that the driver's wife, who was big with
child, gave birth to it in the midst of the banquet. This creature gave
Mingot a disease which has laid him up at Basle."]

houses and palaces, let them have them, what do we care, we republicans,

wealth, simply the habits, the virtues and the love of our country.

Grand Augustins.... Everybody worked at it and it was put out in a very
short time. Under the ancient regime the fire would have lasted for
days. Under the system of freemen the fire lasted only an hour. What a
difference!.. Headquarters, etc."]
