To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The object of Cornet and his associates was simply to convince tlic ignorant of the existence of a conspiracy, and then, after binding the Council as to the source of the danger, to call into supreme j)ower the chief conspirator in order to put the conspiracy down. What was this but casting out devils by Beelzebub, the prince of devils ? When Cornet sat down, Regnier, another of the conspirators, arose and proposed to tlie Assembly, for the saving of the govei'nmcnt, the adoption of the decrees... which had been already prepared. As the opposition, and, indeed, the independent mem- bers of the Council, were generally absent, the arti- cles were adopted without discussion. Those pres- ent voted, first, to remove the sessions of the Coun- cils from Paris to Saint Cloud (a privilege which the constitution conferred ujDon the Ancients alone), thus 23utting them at once beyond the power of in- fluencing the populace and of standing in the way of Bonaparte. They then passed a decree giving to Bonaparte the command of the military forces, at the same time inviting him to come to the As- sembly for the purpose of taking the oath of alle- giance to the Constitution.
