(Letter of the Lyonnese to the representatives of the people, Sep.

20): "The people of Lyons have constantly respected the laws, and if, as in some departments, that of Rhone-et-Loire was for a moment mistaken in the events of May 31, they hastened, as soon as they believed that the Convention was not oppressed, to recognize and execute its decrees.

Every day, now that these reach it, they are published and observed within its walls."] [Footnote 1173: Moniteur, XVII., 269.
