following pages.--Buchez et Roux, XXVIII., 151. (Report of the delegates
of the district of Andelys). "One of members observed that there would
be a good deal of trouble in raising an armed force of one thousand
men."--An administrator (a commissioner of Calvados) replied: "We shall
have all the aristocrats on our side." The principal military leaders
at Caen and at Lyons, Wimpffen, Précy, Puisaye, are Feuillants and form
only a provisional alliance with the Girondists properly so called,
Hence constant contentions and reciprocal mistrust. Birotteau and
Chapet leave Lyons because they do not find the spirit of the place
sufficiently republican.]

not the one to march at the head of battalions (departmental). It would
have the appearance of gratifying personal vengeance."]

[Footnote 1162: Guillon de Montléon, II., 40. The contrast between the
two parties is well shown in the following extract from the letter of a
citizen of Lyons to Kellerman's soldiers. "They tell you that we want
to destroy the unity of the republic, while they themselves abandon the
frontiers to the enemy in order to come here and cut their brethren's
throats."]

Conventionnels d'Auvergne," p. 181.--Louvet, 193.--Moniteur, XVII., 101.
(Speech of Cambon, July 11). "We have preferred to expose these
funds (one hundred and five millions destined for the army) to being
intercepted, rather than to retard this dispatch. The first thing the
Committee of Public Safety have had to care for was to save the republic
and make the administrations fully responsible for it. They were fully
aware of this, and accordingly have allowed the circulation of these
funds... They have been forced, through the wise management of the
Committee, to contribute themselves to the safety of the republic."]
