He wrote to General JOURDAN: “It is impossible for me, given the small number of troops at my disposal, to ensure good order… All acts of harassment are being committed by troops on missions, of whom I am unaware. If any troublemakers resort to excesses, have them arrested… I will punish them with all the justice that characterizes a republican.”
