How many conspiracies have escaped the boasted activity and vigilance of the police when none of its agents were parties. I may instance Babeuf's conspiracy, the attempt at the camp at Grenelle, the 18th Brumaire, the infernal machine, Mallet, the 20th of March, the affair of Grenoble, and many others. The political police, the result of the troubles of the Revolution, has survived them.

Under the reaction, it still formed a compact mass; under Babeuf, it maintained the position of a formidable association. From that time democrates existed, but the party was broken up. In the interim between the Grenelle enterprise and Babeuf's condemnation, the royalists also formed their conspiracy.

For my part, I will give you a guarantee as extensive as is my perpetual franchise." The directors, instead of this reconciliation, published Babeuf's letter, and sent the conspirators before the high court of Vendome. Their partisans made one more attempt. They then repaired to the camp of Grenelle, which they hoped to gain over by means of a correspondence which they had established with it.
