I can assure you that the First Consul will visit the NORTH Department immediately after the closure of the transfer of the Legislative Body.... The NORTHERN DEPutation having been able to send BUONAPARTE some questions about his trip to Belgium, he kindly assured us that his intention was to go to DOUAI (Douay) to visit the Arsenal and the other Artillery Establishments. He did not explain the rest of his project. However, I believe that having visited the coasts from LE HAVRE to DIEPPE, he will continue his visit from DIEPPE to ANTWERP..."
