AN 3. PYRENEES-ATLANTIQUES - Address of the "COMMITTEE OF GENERAL SECURITY, to the National Agents of the Districts of the Republic" of 12 Frimaire An 3 (2 Dec. 1794). Vignette "French Republic, Rights of Man. Collated by the National Agent of the District of USTARITZ. Placarded in BAYONNE (Handwritten subscription signed CRUAX) "the Establishment of the Republic on the debris of an old Monarchy, the Salvation of the People in the middle of many enemies, the conservation of France through the treasons, the perfidies & the civil wars, ordered to the Government of the extraordinary and violent measures... It is time that the individual passions give way to the general interest, to the public instruction. The French will not lose in vain quarrels the advantage of five years of economy, patience, courage: they cultivate the tree of freedom without calculating yet what its fruit will cost. But may aristocracy & malevolence be firmly called to order; may the people no longer be tired of their unjust complaints, & may the revolution, which was but a stormy sea, soon bring us to the port of equality & the reign of laws." Signed (imp.) by the Conventionals: Reverchon, Méaulle, Monmayou, Lesage-Senault, Mathieu, Garnier (de l'Aube), Armand, Clauzel, Laignelot, Barras, Reubell, Bourdon (de l'Oise), Levasseur (De la Meurthe).
