Paris is tranquil�察�and every one is astounded at an event which
promised to be awful�察�but which has passed over like a fete。
The stout patriots of the faubourgs proclaim the safety of the
Republic�察�and the black collars are put down。 It now remains for
the wise energy of the Directory and the patriots of the two
councils to do the rest。 The place of sitting is changed�察�and the
first operations promise well。 This event is a great step towards
peace�察�which it is your task finally to secure to us。
On the 24th Fructidor ��10th September 1797�� Augereau writes��
My 'aide de camp'�察�de Verine�察�will acquaint you with the events of
the 18th。 He is also to deliver to you some despatches from the
Directory�察�where much uneasiness is felt at not hearing from you。
No less uneasiness is experienced on seeing in Paris one of your
'aides de camp'�察���La Vallette��´ whose conduct excites the
dissatisfaction and distrust of the patriots�察�towards whom he has
behaved very ill。
The news of General Clarke's recall will have reached you by this
time�察�and I suspect has surprised you。 Amongst the thousand and one
motives which have determined the Government to take this step may
be reckoned his correspondence with Carnot�察�which has been
communicated to me�察�and in which he treated the generals of the army
of Italy as brigands。
Moreau has sent the Directory a letter which throws a new light on
Pichegru's treason。 Such baseness is hardly to be conceived。
The Government perseveres in maintaining the salutary measures which
it has adopted。 I hope it will be in vain for the remnant of the
factions to renew their plots。 The patriots will continue united。
Fresh troops having been summoned to Paris�察�and my presence at their
head being considered indispensable by the Government�察�I shall not
have the satisfaction of seeing you so soon as I hoped。 This has
determined me to send for my horses and carriages�察�which I left at
Milan。
Bernadotte wrote to Bonaparte on the 24th Fructidor as follows��
The arrested deputies are removed to Rochefort�察�where they will be
embarked for the island of Madagascar。 Paris is tranquil。 The
people at first heard of the arrest of the deputies with
indifference。 A feeling of curiosity soon drew them into the
streets�察�enthusiasm followed�察�and cries of 'Vive la Republique'��
which had not been heard for a long time�察�now resounded in every
street。 The neighbouring departments have expressed their
discontent。 That of Allier has�察�it is said�察�protested�察�but it will
cut a fine figure。 Eight thousand men are marching to the environs
of Paris。 Part is already within the precincts�察�under the orders of
General Lemoine。 The Government has it at present in its power to
elevate public spirit�察�but everybody feels that it is necessary the
Directory should be surrounded by tried and energetic Republicans。
Unfortunately a host of men�察�without talent and resources�察�already
suppose that what has taken place has been done only in order to
advance their interests。 Time is necessary to set all to rights。
The armies have regained consistency。 The soldiers of the interior
are esteemed�察�or at least feared。 The emigrants fly�察�and the non´
juring priests conceal themselves。 Nothing could have happened more
fortunately to consolidate the Republic。
Bonaparte wrote as follows�察�to the Directory on the 26th Fructidor��
Herewith you will receive a proclamation to the army�察�relative to
the events of the 18th。 I have despatched the 45th demi´brigade��
commanded by General Bon�察�to Lyons�察�together with fifty cavalry��
also General Lannes�察�with the 20th light infantry and the 9th
regiment of the line�察�to Marseilles。 I have issued the enclosed
proclamation in the southern departments。 I am about to prepare a
proclamation for the inhabitants of Lyons�察�as soon as I obtain some
information of what may have passed there。
If I find there is the least disturbance�察�I will march there with
the utmost rapidity。 Believe that there are here a hundred thousand
men�察�who are alone sufficient to make the measures you have taken to
place liberty on a solid basis be respected。 What avails it that we
gain victories if we are not respected in our country。 In speaking
of Paris�察�one may parody what Cassius said of Rome�此 �Of what use to
call her queen on the banks of the Seine�察�when she is the slave of
Pitt's gold�拭�
After the 18th Fructidor Augereau wished to have his reward for his share
in the victory�察�and for the service which he had rendered。 He wished to
be a Director。 He got�察�however�察�only the length of being a candidate��
honour enough for one who had merely been an instrument on that day。

AugereanHis correspondence with the Directory and proposed
resignationExplanation of the DirectoryBottotGeneral Clarke

Bonaparte was delighted when he heard of the happy issue of the 18th
Fructidor。 Its result was the dissolution of the Legislative Body and
the fall of the Clichyan party�察�which for some months had disturbed his
tranquillity。 The Clichyans had objected to Joseph Bonaparte's right to
sit as deputy for Liamone in the Council of Five Hundred。
��He was ambassador to Rome�察�and not a deputy at this time。 When
he became a member of the council�察�after his return from Rome�察�he
experienced no opposition ��Bourrienne et ses Erreurs�察�tome i。
p。 240��。��
His brother's victory removed the difficulty�察�but the General´in´Chief
soon perceived that the ascendant party abused its power�察�and again
compromised the safety of the Republic�察�by recommencing the Revolutionary
Government。 The Directors were alarmed at his discontent and offended by
his censure。 They conceived the singular idea of opposing to Bonaparte��
Augereau�察�of whose blind zeal they had received many proofs。 The
Directory appointed Augereau commander of the army of Germany。 Augereau��
whose extreme vanity was notorious�察�believed himself in a situation to
compete with Bonaparte。 What he built his arrogance on was�察�that�察�with a
numerous troop�察�he had arrested some unarmed representatives�察�and torn
the epaulettes from the shoulders of the commandant of the guard of the
councils。 The Directory and he filled the headquarters at Passeriano
with spies and intriguers。
Bonaparte�察�who was informed of everything that was going on�察�laughed at
the Directory�察�and tendered his resignation�察�in order that he might be
supplicated to continue in command。
The following post´Thermidorian letters will prove that the General's
judgment on this point was correct。
On the 2d Vendemiaire�察�year VI。 ��23d September 1797���察�he wrote to
Augereau�察�after having announced the arrival of his 'aide de camp' as
follows��
The whole army applauds the wisdom and vigour which you have
displayed upon this important occasion�察�and participates in the
success of the country with the enthusiasm and energy which
characterise our soldiers。 It is only to be hoped�察�however�察�that
the Government will not be playing at see saw�察�and thus throw itself
into the opposite party。 Wisdom and moderate views alone can
establish the happiness of the country on a sure foundation。 As for
myself�察�this is the most ardent wish of my heart。 I beg that you
will sometimes let me know what you are doing in Paris。
On the 4th Vendemiaire Bonaparte wrote a letter to the Directory in the
following terms��
The day before yesterday an officer arrived at the army from Paris。
He reported that he left Paris on the 25th�察�when anxiety prevailed
there as to the feelings with which I viewed the events of the 18th
He was the bearer of a sort of circular from General Augereau to all
the generals of division�察�and he brought a letter of credit from the
Minister of War to the commissary´general�察�authorising him to draw
as much money as he might require for his journey。
It is evident from these circumstances that the Government is acting
towards me in somewhat the same way in which Pichegru was dealt with
after Vendemiaire ��year IV。��。
I beg of you to receive my resignation�察�and appoint another to my
place。 No power on earth shall make me continue in the service
after this shocking mark of ingratitude on the part of the
Government�察�which I was very far from expecting。 My health�察�which
is considerably impaired�察�imperiously demands repose and
tranquillity。
The state of my mind�察�likewise�察�requires me to mingle again in the
mass of citizens。 Great power has for a longtime been confided to
my hands。 I have employed it on all occasions for the advantage of
my country�察�so much the worse for those who put no faith in virtue��
and may have suspected mine。 My recompense is in my own conscience��
and in the opinion of posterity。
Now that the country is tranquil and free from the dangers which
have menaced it�察�I can�察�without inconvenience�察�quit the post in
which I have been placed。
Be sure that if there were a moment of danger�察�I would be found in
the foremost rank of the defenders of liberty and of the
constitution of the year III。
The Directory�察�judging from the account which Bottot gave of his mission
that he had not succeeded in entirely removing the suspicions of
Bonaparte�察�wrote
