                  coming in from all quarters.
                  Admiral Renaudin receives orders to put to sea.
                  Baron de Stael is sent as ambassador from the King
                  of Sweden to engage in friendship and alliance with
                  the convention.
                  Rhull ventures to pronounce in the convention an
                  eulogy on the old monarchy.
