Both were ardent "Con- ventionalists " and members of the famous Cercle Con- stitiitionnel, lately founded as headquarters of the Conventional or Directorial party in the Chambers, in opposition to the no less influential Club de Clichy, the rallying point of the more extreme section of the Constitutionalists, especially in the Council of Five Hundred, led by such men as Boissy d'Anglas, Pichegru and Camille Jordan, pledged to direct hostility to the three Directors and aiming at the immediate ...repeal of all revolutionary legislation. The meetings of the Cercle Constiiutionnel (the name, by the by, is confusing ; in spite of its title, it was the club of the Conventional- ist party, in opposition to the Constitutionalists) were held in the ci-devant Hotel de Salm, referred to in chapter lo above, in our day the Palais de ia Legion d'Honneur on the Quai d'Orsay ; Sieyes and Madame de Stael were leading spirits. ""'** A woman already famous for her wit and in- tellect, and now no less so for her intrigues, Madame de Stael had first introduced Talleyrand at the Court of Barras and secured his admission to the Director's intimacy.
