[Footnote 3374: For example, at Bordeaux and at Troyes.--Archives Nationales F7, 4421. Register of the Revolutionary committee of Troyes, fol. 164. Two members of the committee travel to the commune of Lusigny, dismiss the mayor and justice, and appoint in the place of the latter "the former curé of the country, who, some time ago, abjured sacerdotal fanaticism."--Archives des Affaires étrangères, vol.332. (Letter of Desgranges, Bordeaux, Brumaire 15, year II.) The representatives have just instituted "a revolutionary committee of surveillance composed of twelve members, selected with the greatest circumspection. All the committees established in the department are obliged to correspond with it, and fulfill its requisitions."] [Footnote 3375: Archives Nationales, AF., II, 58. (Letter of Javogues to Collot d'Herbois, Brumaire 28, year II.)] [Footnote 3376: "Recueil des Pièces Authentiques," etc., I., 195. (Acts passed Jan.21, 1793.)] [Footnote 3377: Archives des Affaires étrangères, vol. 326. (Letters from Brutus, September 24; from Topino-Lebrun, jr., September 25 and October 6, 1793.--Vol. 330. Letters from Brutus, Nivôse 6, year II.) The character of the agent is often indicated orthographically. For example, vol.334, letter from Galon-Boyer, Brumaire 18, year II. "The public spirit is generally bad. Those who claim to be patriots know no restraint. The rest are lethargic and federalism appears innate."] [Footnote 3378: Archives des Affaires étrangères, vol.1411. (Letter of Haupt, Brumaire 26, year II.)--Vol. 333.

(Letters of Desgranges, at Bordeaux, Brumaire 8 and Frimaire 3.) "The offerings in plate and coin multiply indefinitely; all goes right. The court-martial has condemned Dudon to death, son of the ex-procureur-général in the former parliament at Bordeaux, Roullat, procureur-syndic of the department, Sallenave, merchant. These executions excite sympathy, but nobody murmurs."]
