M. LEON FAUCHER had addressed to the PRESI-
DENT the following letter, refusing the nomination to
the Consultative Committee :

"Paris, Dec. 3.
" Mons. le President,—lt is with painful astonishment
that I see my name figure amongst those members of an
Administrative Commission that you desire to institute.
I did not imagine that I could have given you the right
to offer me this insult (injure). The services which I
have rendered you, while believing I rendered them to
the country, perhaps authorised me to expect from you
a different return. In any case, my character merited
more respect. You know that during my career, already
long, I never belied my principles of liberty, no more
than my devotedness to the cause of order. I have never
participated, directly or indirectly, in the violation of
the laws, and to determine me to decline the mandat that
you confide to me, I have only to recal that given me by
the people, and which I yet retain.—Accept, Monsieur le
President, the homage of my respect.
(Signed) "M. LEON FAUCHER."

a double barrelled musket loaded, making an appeal to the
freres, and crying, 'Let us arm! Let us burn the
canaille!' A patrol of gendarmerie disarmed him.
That was the only place at which there was a commence-
me❑t of execution. On other points, menaces of pillage
and fire were made on the 29th."
