ing the infurreCiion of the {eétions againft 
the leeiflature, in a publication, entitled 
Brigands Démafyués, gives a moft odious 
piéture ef the ‘Dire&tory. According to 
him, REWBEEL ts a robber, LETOUR- 
NEUR an idect, BARRAs a blocdy-mind- 
edtyrant, CaRNo?T the minion and ape 
of Robefpierre, and REVELLIERE LE- 
PEAUX a gocd-natured filly fellow,

eae therefore, that he had not at- 
ined the age pr reforibed by law, Is to- 
Ey tafeunded. 
Bath his pen and fword were empley- 
ed againft the ancient government; and 
he .aflifted in porfon at the fiege of the 
Baftile. Elcéted to the Conventicn, he 
joined the Jaccbins, and on ail occafions

no higher rank than that of colonel, inthe 
rmy. He has fucceffively*cecupied the 
uke employments in the repubhe, and 
his conduét is here reprefented as fpotlefs, 
equally defying the fhafts of envy and 
malt_e. 
TV. Jean REWBELL, an Alfactan 
birch, and advocate by profeilion, 1s now 
51 yearsofage. He has aéted as a com- 
miifioner tothe armies; a plenipotentiary 
with a neutral ftate (Prutlia); and alfo 
with an allied one (Holland). He is 
faid tobe coldand evenrude in bis man- 
ners; but, in return, we are affured that 
he is frank and honeft, and poffeffes a 
generous and benevolent heart. 
V. Lepaux, a Vendean, was born 
Auguft 25th, 1753. Bredto the bar, but 
detefting the infolence of attornies, and 
the chicanery of the law, he threw afide 
his gown, and retiring to Angers, ftu- 
died natura! hiftory, read fe€tures in a- 
botanical garden, founded by himfelf. 
As a public man, his conduét has always 
been pure ; and he ts here reprefented 
as a pattern in domeftic life, the adored 
husband of an aifeCtionate, wife, the be- 
loved father of a grateful offspring! 
Such is the eulogy pronounced by Def- 
paze, who affures us, that he is a¢tuated 
with the. pureft and moft independent 
motives,
