Implicated in the conspiracy of Pichegru, he was exiled, and went to the United States. The morning was passed in interviews with his emissaries, the agents of police; and measures had been taken that the arrest should be made at the specified hour, either at Gros-Bois, or at the general's house in the street of the Faubourg Saint-Honore.
