".. I believed, by leaving the Fatherland, to come to settle down momentarily in a free country and almost close to mine, to be delivered from the prisons, from the persecutions, from the investigations of the execrable agents of the execrable PHILIPPE but it is not so; Mr. VIDOC followed me to LAUSANNE, and the secret funds put at his disposal to establish in this city an occult police force, as well against the CARLISTS as against the Patriots begin to produce their effect... DECAZES had invented the insidious maneuver of dividing the patriots by making them suspicious of each other... Poor France! Must she still groan for a long time, disgraced and ruined under the yoke of a collection of rulers as hideous as the others? I do not know; but I hope every day and I suffer to be able to give my life to break its fetters " (Extract).
