authorities of Marseilles, June 7.)
[62] Guillon de Montl?on, 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."
