Commune, closing the churches.) - In relation to the terror the
constitutional priests were under, I merely give the following
extracts (Archives Nationales, F7,31167): "Citizen Pontard, bishop of
the department of Dordogne, lodging in the house of citizen Bourbon,
No. 66 faubourg Saint-Honor?, on being informed that there was an
article in a newspaper called "le Republican" stating that a meeting
of priests had been held in the said house, declares that he had no
knowledge of it; that all the officers in charge of the apartments are
in harmony with the Revolution; that, if he had had occasion to
suspect such a circumstance, he would have move out immediately, and
that if any motive can possibly be detected in such a report it is his
proposed marriage with the niece of citizen Caminade, an excellent
patriot and captain of the 9th company of the Champs-Elys?es section,
a marriage which puts an end to fanaticism in his department, unless
this be done by the ordination of a priest ? la sans-culotte which he
had done yesterday in the chapel, another act in harmony with the
Revolution.
