[140] Buchez et Roux, XXXVIII., 480. (Message of the Directory,
Flor?al 13, year IV., and report of Bailleul, Floreal 18.) "When an
election of deputies presented a bad result to us we thought it our
duty to propose setting it aside. . . . It will be said that your
project is a veritable proscription." - "Not more so than the 19 of
Fructidor." - Cf. for dismissals in the provinces, Sauzay, V., ch.
86. - Albert Babeau, II., 486. During the four years the Directory

[141] Buchez et Roux, XXXIX., 61. (Session of Prairial 30, year
VII.)-Sauzay, X., ch. 87. - L?ouzon-Leduc, "Correspondence
Diplomatique avec la cour de Suede," P. 203. - (Letters of July 1, 7
11, 19 August 4; September 23, 1799.) "The purification of

character. . . . It is this choice of persons without probity,
justice or any principles of honesty whatever for the most important
offices which makes one tremble, and especially, at this moment, all
who are really attached to their country.
