"LETTER from M. DUPORTAIL Minister of War, to the Army". March 1791. A Paris, de l'imprimerie Royale, 1791 ; 7pp in-4° - " ... As for me, Gentlemen, if I have the honor of being, near the army, the interpreter of the wills of its supreme leader (King LOUIS XVI), it is because I believed I was sure that the orders I would have to receive from it and to transmit to you, would not be, in any case, in opposition to my attachment to the true principles of the Constitution. This is to tell you, and I dare to make a solemn pledge before the Nation, that I will never contribute to the execution of anything that might undermine them."
