Charles-Ambroise BERTRAND (1756-1819) conventionnel (Orne). L.A.S., Paris July 2, 1793, to the Committee of General Safety; 1 1/2 pages in-fol. "Deputy under arrest" for being part of the "Commission of the Twelve" formed at the insistence of the Girondins to investigate the Paris Commune, Bertrand protests his detention... "I did not see without surprise that I was excluded from the exception introduced in favor of some of my colleagues members of the Commission of the Twelve; I, I repeat, whose functions consisted, in this commission, in examining the registers of the Commune and the Sections of Paris. It is undoubtedly up to the Committee of General Security to shed the greatest light, in concert with the Committee of Public Safety, on the conduct of the detained deputies. Hebien, my colleagues, I defy you all to quote against me the least act that a man of integrity and a frank republican cannot confess and of which he should not even be honored "... Former collection Patrice Hennessy.
