" - (Letter of Gadolle, Dunkirk, July 26, 1793.) - (Letter
of Simon, Metz, Niv?se, year II.) "Yesterday, on the news of the
capture of Toulon being announced in the theatre, . . . I noticed
that only about one-third of the spectators gave way to patriotic
enthusiasm; the other two-thirds remained cold, or put on a long
face."

appointed seven committees of surveillance. Although weeded out by
the club, they nevertheless alarmed the sans-culottes.. . .
Representative Petit-Jean has issued an order, directing that there
shall be but one committee at Grenoble composed of twenty-one members.
This measure is excellent and ensures the triumph of sans-culotteism.
