Le Carpentier, on mission in l'Orne, Brumaire 19, year II. "The
administrative bodies of Alen?on, the district excepted, are wholly
gangrened; all are Feuillants, or infected with a no less pernicious
spirit. . . . For the choice of subjects, and the incarceration of
individuals, you can refer to the sans-culottes: the most nervous are
Symaroli and Pr?val. - At Montagne, the administration must be wholly
removed, as well as the collector of the district, and the post-
master; . . . purify the popular club, expel nobles and limbs of
the law, those that have been turned out of office, priests,
muscadins, etc. . . . Dissolve two companies, one the grenadiers
and the other the infantry who are very muscadin and too fond of
processions. . . . Re-form the staff and officers of the National
Guard. To secure more prompt and surer execution of these measures of
security you may refer to the present municipality, the Committee of
Surveillance and the Cannoneers.
