Roland to Bosc; July 26; 1798。  〃You busy yourselves with a

municipality and allow heads to escape which will devise new horrors。

You are mere children; your enthusiasm is merely a straw bonfire! If

the National Assembly does not try two illustrious heads in regular

form or some generous Décius strike them down; you are all lost。  〃

Ibid。;; May 17; 1790: 〃Our rural districts are much dissatisfied with

the decree on feudal privileges 。 。 。 A reform is necessary; in which

furniture to different persons in the neighborhood。〃 The same

treatment is awarded to sieur Vaissier; mayor; and to lady Lavalette;

their cellars are forced open; barrels of wine are taken to the public

square; and drinking takes place from the tap。 After this 〃the

volunteers go in squads into the neighboring parishes and compel the

inhabitants to give them money or effects。〃 The commissary and

municipal officers of St。 Urcize who tried to mediate were nearly

killed and were saved only through the efforts of a detachment of

regular cavalry。 As to the Jacobin mayor of Chaudesa
