f the Revolutionary Committee, established at Troyes, Brumaire II, year II.)--Albert Babeau, vol. II., passim.--Archives des Affaires etrangeres, vol. 332, Chepy (letter, Brumaire 6, Grenoble). "The sections had 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."--Archives Nationales, F.7, 4434. (Letter of Perrieu to Brissot, Bordeaux, March 9, 1793.) Before June 2, the national club "of Bordeaux, composed of Maratists, did not comprise more than eight or ten individuals at most."--Moniteur, XXII., 133. (Speech by Thibeaudeau on the popular club of Poitiers, Vendemiaire II, year III.)--Ibid. (Session of Brumaire 5, year III., letter of Cales, and session of Brumaire 17, year III., report by Cales.) "The popular club of Dijon made all neighboring administrative bodies, citizens and districts tremble. All were subject to its laws, and three or four men in it made them. This club and the municipality were one body." "The Terror party does not exist here, or, if it does exist, it does not amount to much: out of twenty thousand inhabitants there are not six who can legitimately be suspected of belonging to it."] [Footnote 3386: Baroly, "Les Jacobins Demasques," (IV. 8vo., of 8pp., year II). "The Jacobin club, with its four hundred active members at Paris, and the four thousand others in the provinces, not less devoted, represent the living force of the Revolution."] [Footnote 3387: Archives Nationales, D. P I., 10. (Orders of representatives Delacroix, Louchet, and Legendre, Nivose 12, year II.) "On the petition of the Committee of Surveillance of Evreux, which sets forth that all its members are without means, and that it will be impossible for them to continue their duties since they are without resources for supporting their families," the representatives allow three of them two hundred and seventy francs each, and a fourth one hundred and eighty francs, as a gratuity (outside of the three francs a day.)] [Footnote 3388: Ibid. AF., II., 111. (Order of Albitte and La Porte, Prairial 18, year II.)] [Footnote 3389: Albert Babeau, II., 154-157.--Moniteur, XXII. 425. (Session of Brumaire 13, year III. Speech by Cambon.)
