L.A.S., Rosay 4 floréal III (April 23, 1795), to the Subsistances générales agency; 2 fol. pages, headed Garnier, de Xaintes, Représentant du Peuple, en mission dans les Départemens environnonnans Paris, vignette. Paris supplies. Paris' steadfastness in the midst of a food shortage spurs it on to even greater efforts. "I am crying out for armed force, as several of my best granaries have already been looted. In Egalité, I disarmed an entire commune that was organized as a corps of brigands. This measure has had some effect. A more dangerous commune is Rebais, which has a larger population and is involved in piracy on a daily basis [...]. All my measures have been taken here to activate the payments. I have brought in some counts from Provins, because foreigners less influenced by local considerations and particular affections will only listen to the feeling of duty"... Finally, he has organized national guards in the district capitals, "but they are not armed"... 9785/845
