331, 332. (Letters of Chepy, passim, and especially those dated Frimaire
II.)--Vol. 329. (Letter of Chépy, August 24, 1793.) "At Annecy, the
women have cut down the liberty-pole and burnt the archives of the
club and of the commune. At Chambéry, the people wanted to do the same
thing."--Ibid. (September 18, 1793.) "The inhabitants around Mont Blanc
show neither spirit nor courage; the truth is, an anti-revolutionary
spirit animates all minds."--Ibid. (Letter of August 8, 1793.) "Not only
have the citizens of Grenoble, who were drawn by lot, not set out on
the expedition to Lyons, but, even of those who have obeyed the laws,
several have returned with their arms and baggage. No commune between
St. Laurent and Lyons would march. The rural municipalities, badly
tainted with the federal malady, ventured to give the troops very bad
quarters, especially those who had been drafted."]
[Footnote 3381: Ibid. (Letter of Cuny, jr., Brest, Brumaire 6.) "There
are, in general, very few patriots at Brest; the inhabitants are nearly
all moderates."--(Letter of Gadolle, Dunkirk, July 26, 1793.)--(Letter
of Simon, Metz, Nivôse, year II.) "Yesterday, on the news of the capture
of Toulon being announced in the theatre,... I noticed that only about
one-third of the spectators gave way to patriotic enthusiasm; the other
two-thirds remained cold, or put on a long face."]
