792, according to a narrative by one of the teachers in the college d'Harcourt, in which Varlet was placed.] [Footnote 26139: Buchez et Roux, XIII. 254.] [Footnote 26140: "C. Desmoulins," by Claretie, 238 (in 1786 and in 1775). "The inquest still exists, unfortunately it is convincing."--Westermann was accused of these acts in December, 1792, by the section of the Lombards, "proofs in hand."--Gouverneur Morris, so well informed, writes to Washington, Jan. 10, 1793: The retreat of the King of Prussia "was worth to Westermann about 10,000 pounds... The council ... exerted against him a prosecution for old affairs of no higher rank than petty larceny."] [Footnote 26141: "Archives Nationales," F7, 4434 (papers of the committee of general safety).

It was noticed, as he said this, that he had on his finger the agate ring that was claimed."] [Footnote 26143: Mortimer-Ternaux, II. 638; III. 500 and following pages; IV. 132.--Cf. II. 451.] [Footnote 26144: Mortimer-Ternaux, II. 456.] [Footnote 26145: Buchez et Roux, XVI. 138, 140 (testimony of Mathon de la Varenne, who was engaged in the case).] [Footnote 26146: "Dictionnaire biographique," by Eymery (Leipsic, 1807), article HEBERT.] [Footnote 26147: Mortimer-Ternaux, III. 484, 601. Cf. letter of the representative Cavaignac, Ibid., 399.] [Footnote 26148: "Dictionnaire biographique," article HENRIOT.-The lives of many of these subordinate leaders are well done. Cf.
