-- Sauzay, IV., 260. At Besan?on,
in a general assembly of all the administrative, judicial and
municipal bodies of the department joined to the commissioners of the
section, protest "unanimously" on the 15th of June.
[51] Archives Nationales, Ibid .(Letter of Romme and Prieur, Caen,
June 10th, to the committee of Public Safety). The insurgents are so
evidently in the right that Romme and Prieur approve of their own
arrest. "Citizens, our colleagues, this arrest may be of great
importance, serve the cause of liberty, maintain the unity of the
republic and revive confidence if, as we hasten to demand it of you,
you confirm it by a decree which declares us hostages. . . . We
have noticed that among the people of Caen, there is a love of
liberty, as well as of justice and docility."
[52] Archives Nationales, AF. II., 46. (Printed July 5). Result of
the deliberations of the Nantes sections. The act is signed by the
three administrative bodies of Nantes, by the district rulers of

the deputies of the districts of Paimb?uf and Chateaubriand, in all,
eighty-six signatures.
