Ville of Bordeaux, they eulogize the 21st of January: "There was then a
roar as frightful as it was general. A city official coolly replied to
us: What would you have? To oppose anarchy we have been forced to join
the aristocrats, and they rule." Another says ironically to Ysabeau: "We

of the district of Andelys). "One of members observed that there would
be a good deal of trouble in raising an armed force of one thousand
men."--An administrator (a commissioner of Calvados) replied: "We shall

Hence constant contentions and reciprocal mistrust. Birotteau and
Chapet leave Lyons because they do not find the spirit of the place
sufficiently republican.]

two parties is well shown in the following extract from the letter of a

frontiers to the enemy in order to come here and cut their brethren's
throats."]
