”[il governo sa] quanto un tal uomo e inquieto, torbido,audace, quanto si sforza a suscitare a fomentare idisordini nell’antica sua patria, che ha tradita, eabdicata, quanto e colpevole verso di Lei, e quantoancora e pericoloso per i Paesi ove viene sofferto.”

”[the government knows] how much that man [Comte

D’Antraigues] is agitated, turbid, audacious, how he

forces himself to instigate uprisings in his homeland,

which he betrayed, and abdicated, and how much he is

guilty towards it, and how he is still dangerous for the

countries in which he is tolerated.” [ASVe, Collegio,

Esposizioni principi, f. 178. 11 May 1796. ] 5 / 26
