l de 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 did not anticipate that,--they are our tribunes."] [Footnote 1157: Jarrin, "Bourg et Belley pendant la Revolution" ("Annales de la Societe d'Emulation de l'Ain," 1878, Nos. For January, February and March, p. 16).] [Footnote 1158: Louvet, 103, 108.--Guillon de Montleon, I., 305 and following pages.--Buchez et Roux, XXVIII., 151. (Report of the delegates 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 have all the aristocrats on our side." The principal military leaders at Caen and at Lyons, Wimpffen, Precy, Puisaye, are Feuillants and form only a provisional alliance with the Girondists properly so called, Hence constant contentions and reciprocal mistrust. Birotteau and Chapet leave Lyons because they do not find the spirit of the place sufficiently republican.] [Footnote 1159: Louvet, 124, 129.--Buchez et Roux, XXVII, 360. (Notice by General Wimpffen), July 7.--Puisaye, "Memoires" and "L'Insurrection Normande." by et Vaultier et Mancel.] [Footnote 1160: Mortimer-Ternaux, VIII., 471. Letter of Barbaroux, Caen, June 18.--Ibid., 133. Letter of Madame Roland to Buzot, July 7. "You are not the one to march at the head of battalions (departmental). It would have the appearance of gratifying personal vengeance."] [Footnote 1161: Buchez et Roux, XXVIII., 153. (Deliberations of the constituted authorities of Marseilles, June 7.)] [Footnote 1162: Guillon de Montleon, II., 40. The contrast between the two parties is well shown in the following extract from the letter of a citizen of Lyons to Kellerman's soldiers. "They tell you that we want to destroy the unity of the republic, while they themselves abandon the frontiers to the enemy in order to come here and cut their brethren's throats."] [Footnote 1163: Guillon de Montleon, I., 288.--Marcelin Boudet, "Les Conventionnels d'Auvergne," p. 181.--Louvet, 193.--Moniteur, XVII., 101.
