ALPES-DE-HAUTE-PROVENCE. 1791. REVOLUTION. "Address of the Electors of the Department of the BASSES-ALPES, to their Commettants." "Dear fellow citizens. Honored by your trust, specially entrusted with your interests, we believe it our duty, before parting, to give you an account of our mission, to justify to you, the manner in which we have tried to fulfill it... Despotism is humiliated, but it is not annihilated; it still threatens your heads, the only way to thwart all its perfidy, is to recognize in the Law, the expression of the general will, to take it as the rule of your conduct..."
