Two rather insignificant authors, of the name of Varennes and Beaujou, who published some scandalous libels on Christianity, have since been taken up, and after some months' imprisonment in the Temple been condemned to transportation to Cayenne for life, not as infidels or atheists, but as conspirators against the State, in consequence of some unguarded expressions which prejudice or ill-will alone would judge connected with politics.
Even Pigault-Lebrun, a popular but immoral novel writer, narrowly escaped lately a trip to Cayenne for one of his blasphemous publications, and owes to the protection of Madame Murat exclusively that he was not sent to keep Varennes and Beaujou company.
We meant to have visited the Hotel des Invalides, but J and I walked to the Tivoli, the Place de la Concorde, the Champs Elysees, and to the Place de Beaujou, and to the residence of the American minister, where I wished to arrange about my passport. After speaking with the Secretary of Legation, we were ushered into the minister's private room, where he received me with great kindness.

The two captains resumed their chairs, and our hero again coiled himself on the sofa, and in one minute was as sound asleep as before.

Tell Mr Beaujou, the slopseller, to come here directly with some clothes for him. Is Captain Debriseau here?" "He is, sir, lost all his last cargo obliged to throw over in deep water." "Never mind: he ran the two before he can afford it." "Ah, but Captain Debriseau is in a very bad humour, nevertheless. He called me an old cheat this morning c'est incroyable."
To turn, however, to other things, my perseverance on behalf of Kondjé-Gul is at last rewarded with complete success. After I had spent a whole week in looking about, I found, in the Beaujou district, an institution for young ladies presided over by a Madame Montier, a kind woman of polished manners.
