II., 36, Pluvi?se 7, year
II., letter to the representatives on mission at Bordeaux, approving
of the orders issued by them against merchants.) "concealed behind the
obscurity of its complots, mercantilism cannot support the ardent,
invigorating atmosphere of Liberty; Sybaritic indolence quails before
Spartan virtue. " - (AF. II., 37, Pluvi?se 20, letter to Prieur de
la Marne, sent to Nantes to replace Carrier.) "Carrier, perhaps, has
been badly surrounded; . ... his ways are harsh, the means he
employs are not well calculated to win respect for the national
authority; . . . he is used up in that city. He is to leave and go
elsewhere." - (AF. II., 36, Niv?se 21, letter to Fouch?, Laporte, and
Albitte, at Commune-affranchie, signed by Billaud-Varennes and
composed by him.) "The convention, Niv?se I, has approved of the
orders and other measures taken by you. We can add nothing to its
approval. The Committee of Public Safety subjects all operations to
the same principles, that is to say, it conforms to yours and acts
with you."
