The transformation of the Consular into the Imperial Government gave rise to very animated discussions in the interior of the school. Many pupils refused to add their felicitations to the mean adulations of the constituted bodies.
DEMETRIUS in Tula, at the pinnacle of success. The army is his own; the keys of numerous towns are brought to him. Moscow alone appears to offer resistance.
