P.S. by Antoine-Louis ALBITTE and Joseph FOUCHÉ, Commune Affranchie [Lyon] 19 nivôse II (January 8, 1794); 2 pages and a half gr. in-fol. on letterhead Les Représentans du Peuple, envoyés dans la Commune-Affranchie, pour y assurer le bonheur du Peuple avec le triomphe de la République, dans tous les Départemens environnans, et près l'Armée des Alpes, label. Disciplinary measures following nocturnal disorders in Lyon. "Informed that the malicious ones seek to sow the division between the brothers in arms of the garrison of the Free Commune and those of the revolutionary army; that the brawls were renewed last night in spite of the reconciliation which had taken place the same day; that the blood of several defenders of the fatherland, this precious blood which belongs only to the Republic, has flowed as a result of the animosity that our common enemies seek to excite between brothers made to cherish each other reciprocally, and to work in concert for the success of the Revolution and to rally to the voice of the fatherland.
