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."]

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.)]
